It’s been a weirdly awesome week here at Inside The Star. I mean, for crying out loud, I wrote about pants yesterday. Weird seems to be the deal these days. Kids are running around playing Pokemon Go, and running back unit rankings are considering the Cowboys 10th in … Read more

DeAngelo Williams wants you to find him relevant – please find him to be relevant! The veteran running back had quite the season in 2015 as he made his Pittsburgh Steelers debut. He played very well in the absence of Le’Veon Bell, but still – find him relevant! … Read more

The next time we will see the Cowboys on the practice field will be for training camp in Oxnard, California.

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.

This past week, news broke that the Dallas Cowboys turned down trade opportunities during the NFL Draft for a couple of their running backs. Also, former starting left guard, Ronald Leary, decided to skip OTAs and have his agent request a trade from the Cowboys. Players requesting a trade isn’t uncommon, but teams aren’t going to just give away their players. They want to get as much compensation as possible, but it often comes down to finding a trade partner that is willing to meet your asking price. Trades aren’t quite as commonplace in the NFL as they are in the NBA and MLB, but they still happen.

The Dallas Cowboys are going to be faced with a difficult decision when it comes to evaluating the running back position and deciding who’s in and who’s out. One of the most surprising selections for the Cowboys in the 2016 NFL Draft was when the organization decided to draft Eastern Michigan’s Darius Jackson in the six round, especially after making running back Ezekiel Elliott the 4th overall pick. If you would have asked me before the draft what position the Cowboys were most likely to double dip in I would’ve probably answered either defensive end or cornerback, but never in my wildest dreams would I have thought the Cowboys would use two of their nine draft picks on running backs. The running back position will be one to keep an eye on throughout the rest of the off-season and it will be interesting to see what the Cowboys ultimately decide to do with all of these RBs. Let’s take a look at the depth chart and try to predict who stays and who goes.

Today is April 22nd. You already knew that, though. You also knew that, despite the NBA and NHL playoffs being well underway, the NFL has dominated the news over the past couple of days. Reason being, the draft is just 6 days away, Josh Norman is suddenly a free agent, and players are reporting back to their team’s facilities to being preparation for the 2016 campaign. Of course, all of these things drew plenty of attention from Cowboys Nation faithful on Twitter.

When discussing why he chose to sign with the Cowboys, defensive lineman Cedric Thornton said, “I think we have a chance to win a championship here. This isn’t a 4-12 team.” One of the most famous of Bill Parcells’ many quotes is that, “You are what your record … Read more
