What Ezekiel Elliott Means to Dez Bryant, Cowboys Passing Game

The year was 2014. The Dallas Cowboys offensive line was absolutely dominating on the field every Sunday, as DeMarco Murray was the benefactor of their stellar blocking. Murray shaped the Cowboys’ identity, pounding out yards on the ground that kept the offensive moving down the field while keeping the Dallas defense on the sideline. Also on the same offense, WR Dez Bryant was having a breakout year – in his contract year – thanks to opposing defenses becoming so preoccupied with Murray. Romo and Bryant added another lethal option to a Cowboys offense that led them to a 12 win regular season.

#RJOShow Ep. 13: Introducing QB Libre With Laurie Horesh

Greetings, one and all! While most hotels in America are superstitious and avoid having a 13th floor, the #RJOShow fears not and dropped its 13th episode this week!

Is 2016 Doug Free’s Last Year in Dallas?

Doug Free probably feels like the odd man out at times. When people are effusing praise on the Dallas Cowboys’ offensive line they always mention the three first-round picks; Tyron Smith, Travis Frederick, and Zack Martin. They will also often talk about La’el Collins, the first-round talent who went undrafted due to unusual circumstances. Free may get a token mention as an experienced veteran, but often he is taken for granted. Entering his 10th season, the veteran right tackle is still solidified in his position.

UDFA Film Review: Cowboys WR Chris Brown

Going into the 2015 season there weren’t too many people would have identified Wide Receiver as a major position of need for the Dallas Cowboys. But, injuries to Tony Romo and Dez Bryant exacerbated the lack of playmakers on the offensive side of the ball a season ago. Terrance Williams had rather high expectations going into last season, considering his stellar playoff performances in 2014. I thought he could be the Alvin Harper to Dez Bryant’s Michael Irvin, but without Romo on the field Williams was quiet, to say the least. Cole Beasley and Lucky Whitehead can produce for Dallas, but they aren’t the type of players who are meant to provide a consistent outside threat.

3 Reasons Why Tony Romo Will Thrive In 2016

First off, let me tell you that I personally believe that Tony Romo will have an amazing year in 2016 and that despite his recent struggles with injuries, he will once again get the Dallas Cowboys back on track and in contention of making a deep playoff run. If you paid any attention to the 2015 season, you noticed first hand just how important Tony Romo is to this team. He is the heart and soul of the Dallas Cowboys and without him in the lineup the entire team takes a giant step back. Below I decided to share with you three reasons why I personally believe Tony Romo will thrive in 2016 and have the Cowboys once again sitting atop the NFC East division. Now, you may be a little skeptical about Romo’s chances due to circumstances out of his control, but I believe I have a pretty good argument as to why that skepticism might be a little unjustified.

Does Charles Tapper Start Week 1?

Probably the biggest problem the Cowboys face is the shallowness of their defensive line, specifically the defensive end position. With Greg Hardy and Jeremy Mincey gone, and Demarcus Lawrence and Randy Gregory facing four game suspensions, it is clear the Dallas Cowboys need help at defensive end. Who will be available to rush Eli Manning against the Giants in Week 1? As of now, the starter at LDE is Ryan Russell, followed by Charles Tapper, Benson Mayowa and then Caleb Azubike. At RDE, the depth chart lists David Irving then Michael McAdoo and finally Neill Jason.

2016 Dallas Cowboys Draft Class: The Power Of 4

I’m a big fan of the Madden franchise. Every year I get the new one and start a new franchise mode so that I can lead the Dallas Cowboys to Super Bowl glory. While I love me some Romo, I also love me some me (to quote the great philosopher Terrell Owens, that is). Typically the quarterback of the Cowboys on my digital team goes by the name RJ Ochoa and wears the number 4 on his jersey. It’s my favorite number, after all.

2016 Breakout Candidates: Lucky Whitehead

As we look ahead to a new season it’s always interesting to project players who could take a major step in their careers. Sometimes this is an obvious expectation, such as with Byron Jones becoming a full-time starter in his second season. Others, though, are not as obvious and may take a very specific set of circumstances to develop. With roughly two months to go before the start of training camp I thought I’d spend some time profiling Cowboys who could become major factors in the coming season. I’m going to start today with an emerging offensive weapon and potential special teams ace:

What’s To Be Learned From Past Top-Ten RBs?

As soon as NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced the Dallas Cowboys’ intentions to draft Ohio State Buckeyes Running Back Ezekiel Elliott with the fourth overall pick, the projections for his rookie season numbers began. Fans, analysts, and writers alike all began predicting incredible feats for Zeke’s rookie year. We heard it all from 2,000 yards to being a lock for Rookie of the Year. It was almost impossible to temper our excitement and expectations. But, without reeling in our expectations a bit is it possible we are setting Zeke up for failure before he even takes a snap as a Cowboy?
