The Cowboys’ situation at left tackle can be described as "unsettled" at best.  After releasing veteran Flozell Adams, the club seems content on giving Doug Free the opportunity to win the job. Free played right tackle in all but one game last season, however, and struggled mightily in his short stint at left tackle. It should be noted that he was facing Vikings’ pass-rushing stud Jared ...

We are in a giving mood today, so we figured we’d let you take advantage of it before we return to our normal, stingy ways.  We are holding a Mock Draft Challenge over at DallasCowboysTimes.com—your chance to prove you know your stuff.  The rules of the contest are as follows: All mock drafts must be submitted in the comments section here so everyone can see.  Be sure ...

Before we hear all of the complaints about the unrealistic nature of this mock draft, we must start by saying it is just for fun.  We simply want to take a look at what it would it be like if the Cowboys decided to assemble their offensive line of the future in only one draft. This mock will take us through the first four Dallas selections.  While ...

Q:  Who do you think will be the Cowboys’ opening day starters at left tackle and free safety?  We didn’t really cut Flozell Adams and Ken Hamlin for Doug Free and Alan Ball, did we? Ryan Warren, Washington, D.C. A: If pressed to answer today, we would say the Cowboys’ opening day left tackle starter will be Doug Free, but the starting free safety is not yet on ...

The first five parts of our “Grading the ‘Boys” Series saw us analyze the success of the Cowboys’ offensive linemen, running backs, cornerbacks, and safeties in 2009.  Today we will delve into the wide receivers. The 2009 season saw the simultaneous emergence of one star—Miles Austin—and the decline of another—Roy Williams.  Williams’ fall has been so dramatic that we seldom hear of a fan who even wants ...

We hear the phrase “trade Marion Barber” more from fans than any other string of words outside of “trade Roy Williams.”  We have long said that trading Barber, even in an uncapped year, is impossible. No one will want to take on an oft-injured running back with a big contract. Todd Archer of Dallas Morning News took a look at the possibility yesterday.  Like us, he admitted ...

1.  St. Loius Rams:  Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma No change here.  With Marc Bulger just released and the Rams in desperate need of a franchise quarterback, Bradford looks like a lock to go #1.   2.  Detroit Lions:  Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska The latest reports claim that Detroit will not be taking an offensive tackle with their first round selection.  If that's true, the pick has to be either Suh ...

In an effort to make the new site go live as quickly as possible, we glossed over the release of Flozell Adams and Ken Hamlin .  It is now time to more deeply explore the consequences of this decision. Of course, the first question that comes to mind is ‘why?’  Why would Dallas, in an uncapped year, cut two veteran starters whose backups are questionable at best? The ...

With the 2010 Draft approaching quickly, we know a lot of you cannot seem to acquire enough draft-related information and predictions. Today, we are detailing which prospects from this class will wind up being considered the best at their position once their careers are all said and done.  In Part I, we take a look at those players on the offensive side of the ball.   QB:  Tim Tebow ...

For the sake of argument (and because we still have a month until the draft), we wanted to take a look at a “nightmare” draft for the Dallas Cowboys—the worst possible combination of 26 players taken before their selection.  This could provide us with a clearer understanding of what sort of player the Cowboys could secure should everything go haywire. Players sure to be gone Sam Bradford, ...
