Win Now V. Rebuilding: The Dallas Cowboys Are Both

“They’re in win now mode.” Who among us has heard that ad nauseam over the course of the last, oh I don’t know, fifty million days? I’ve spent a lot of time digesting this supposed ideology over the last week. I contemplated it to my self and talked about it on various audio platforms: The RJ Ochoa Show, The Footbology Podcast with Marcus Mosher, and my fellow Staff Writer Sean Martin’s school radio show, UFR on WMSC.

What is Dallas’ Biggest Post-Draft Question?

What is the Cowboys’ biggest question mark following the 2016 Draft? Well, what was the biggest question going into the draft? I think most would agree it was “Ezekiel Elliott or Jalen Ramsey” for the fourth-overall pick. We know Dallas went with the running back. Naturally, you wonder what that means for the secondary.

Dallas Cowboys Weighing All Options At Fullback

The age of having a traditional fullback on the roster in the NFL has really started dwindle  over the last several years. So much so that very few teams even have a fullback on their roster. Teams have started using H-backs, tight ends, and even offensive/defensive lineman to come in and make those traditional type fullbacks expendable because they can contribute in more ways for the team. Since taking over the head-coaching responsibilities for the Dallas Cowboys, Jason Garrett is one of the remaining few that likes to have a traditional fullback on the final 53 man roster. Since 2013, Tyler Clutts has been the Cowboys fullback, but he is currently a free agent and it appears as if the organization is ready to examine all options to replace him.

Ezekiel Elliott Leads Rookie Jersey Sales

Ezekiel Elliott LOVES being a Dallas Cowboy, and Cowboys Nation LOVES to have him here! The fourth overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft has had his jersey number for some time now, and as of today has also stepped onto the practice field for the first time! As the excitement builds for his NFL debut, fans have been grabbing Zeke’s #21 jersey at a record pace. In fact, the running back has sold more jerseys than any rookie so far! Behind Elliott in second for jersey sales is Eagles QB Carson Wentz, followed by the Rams #1 overall pick Jared Goff – the QB out of California.

How Cowboys Rookies Compare To Their Predecessors

In a few weeks, if not already, every rookie draft pick will be an alumni from somewhere. No matter where their careers take them, they’ll never forget where they came from. Before they officially play their first snap on an NFL stage, we’ll evaluate the NFL careers of players at the same position, from the same alma mater as the Dallas Cowboys’ 2016 draft class. Maybe it’s an indication on how their careers will unfold. Ohio State University Running Backs Before Eliott, another notable Buckeye running back to be drafted in the NFL would be Archie Griffin.

Dak Prescott & The Rarity of QB Investment in Dallas

Last Saturday the Cowboys spent a fourth-round pick on quarterback Dak Prescott from Mississippi State. You already knew that it was uncommon for Dallas to invest draft picks in the quarterback position, having only done it once (Stephen McGee, 2009) since Tony Romo became our starter in 2006. But do you realize just how far back that tradition goes, and just how rare it’s been for Dallas to draft a passer? In 1989, the Dallas Cowboys made Troy Aikman the first overall pick in the draft. It was the first pick of Jerry Jones’ ownership of the Cowboys.

Space Cowboys: The Dallas Offensive Line

Rare are the moments when I get the idea for an article and can’t put a mental bookmark on it for later. These are the breaths of fresh air that cause me to run straight to my Macbook and put these thoughts somewhere safe. It was actually during a run, on a treadmill to be specific, that my latest form of “inspiration” hit. When getting my daily dose of cardio I like to put on some high-quality jams, who doesn’t for what it’s worth, and my taste is a bit… unique.

Dallas Cowboys: Backup Quarterback Still A Concern?

The 2015 season for the Dallas Cowboys was a complete disaster and the majority of the blame can be placed squarely on the backup quarterback situation. Once Tony Romo went down not once, but twice with a broken clavicle, we pretty much knew that the season was on the line. Who was actually comfortable knowing that Brandon Weeden was a backup behind Romo heading into the 2015 season? I know I wasn’t. I thought it was an absolute mistake by the organization.

Tweet Break: Best of #Cowboys Twitter For May 6th

Is it football season yet? Well, not quite. That is not to say though that exciting things aren’t going on with the Dallas Cowboys! The 2016 draft class is settling into the reality that they will get to play for the best franchise in the NFL, with little time to waste before rookie camps open. In fact, most of the rookies were already in the building as of yesterday, and took to Twitter to highlight their experiences.
