My Dad has the same initials as I do. He also happens to be a huge golfer. Like any veteran of the links he knows that he has to mark his ball. Since he’s almost as creative as his son he’s developed a cool little logo. He writes an “R” and circles it to signify the “O” for our last name.

If there were a gold medal given out to the person who has made the worst decision in the history of the universe concerning Dez Bryant then Dean Blandino would own it. The 2016 iteration of the NFL Top 100 takes home the silver, though. The annual list where players play prisoners of the moment dropped its first Dallas Cowboy on Wednesday when players #60 through #51 were revealed. Inside The Star loyalists will remember my predictions concerning the Dallas Cowboys I thought would make it and the final player on Wednesday’s episode was indeed Mr. Throw Up The X.

Let’s start at the top. Jerry and Avon are similar in a ton of ways. First off, they are both straight gangsters in their own right. Jerry bought the team and then immediately fired the only coach the Cowboys had ever known in Tom Landry. Landry is a legend and a personal hero of mine, but you have to admit that takes balls.

The path to the Super Bowl starts by clinching the NFC East. That means beating the New York Giants, the Washington Redskins and the Philadelphia Eagles. Fortunately, with the help of the draft, the Dallas Cowboys have improved as a team. Unfortunately, so has the rest of the NFC East. Today, we’ll look at three rookies drafted by the New York Giants that could be the biggest headaches for the Cowboys:

Stating that the Dallas Cowboys have the best offensive line in the entire NFL may sound a bit redundant, but I honestly believe that they will look even more dominant in 2016 now that they have a running back that truly fits the zone blocking scheme. The Cowboys gave their offensive line an early Christmas present when they decided to draft Ezekiel Elliott #4 overall in this years draft. They could have chosen to go with a dominant defensive player with that selection, but they chose to add a player that can make the strongest position on the team (OL) even stronger. If you add all of that up, it equals a deadly combination. Right?

Historical patterns don’t always hold water. We just watched the Golden State Warriors become only the 10th team in NBA history to come back from a 3-1 series deficit. Special teams rise above the circumstances. Right now nobody in the NFC East looks all that special. Maybe we’ll change tune in retrospect, but it appears that all four teams have a chance to be competitive.

The other day I turned on some of Ezekiel Elliott’s college tape just for fun. I was at work thinking about just how talented he was, and got the itch to watch him wreck. Play after play, it’s amazing to me how well he does everything. When he runs, he runs with purpose and direction. He makes guys miss in the open field, can lower his shoulder and bulldoze his way to a first down, or can bounce an outside run to the sideline, gain the edge, and explode down the field.

Rookie defensive tackle Maliek Collins has broken his right foot during Organized Team Activities and could miss up to 3 months. Collins, taken in the third round of last April’s draft, was expected to be an immediate contributor on the defensive line. He was considered an instant scheme fit and could have even been a Week One starter if Tyrone Crawford is asked to play defensive end. Now he will likely miss all of training camp and perhaps the entire preseason. Collins’ absence will give veterans Terrell McClain, Jack Crawford, and David Irving better opportunity to cement a role in the defensive line rotation.

The Dallas Cowboys’ approach to this offseason has been no secret. They have searched for bargains in the open market, adding youthful and athletic players with presumably high upsides but very little production to this point in their professional careers. Defensive End Benson Mayowa fits this blueprint to a “T.” The former Seattle Seahawk, but more recently former Oakland Raider, joined the Cowboys after the Raiders failed to match the Cowboys’ offer sheet to Mayowa during free agency. The questions surrounding the Cowboys’ pass rush and defensive end situation are clear, but the addition of Mayowa seemed to not mean much for the immediate future at first.

The Dallas Cowboys aren’t shy about trying out new technology if they believe that it will possibly help them gain a competitive advantage or help them improve in the way they go about preparing for the season. You may remember that the Cowboys coaching staff started using drones to help get a different vantage point while filming practices last year before the 2015 season kicked off. Well, fast-forward a year and the Cowboys organization is now trying out a new piece of technology to help put an emphasis on the correct way for running backs to carry the ball. If you’ve ever played the game of football, then you know how important ball security is and how there is probably no other aspect of the game that infuriates coaches more than fumbling away the football. Well, thanks to inventor Tom Creguer, ball security has become much more coachable with his new invention the HighandTight training football.
