2016 Dallas Cowboys Will Play With A New Attitude

The Dallas Cowboys disastrous 2015 season can be attributed to one thing and one thing only…injuries. It’s difficult enough to win games in the NFL when your football team is 100% healthy, but when you’re missing several of your key members it’s nearly impossible to be a competitive ball team. That’s exactly what happened to the Cowboys and one of the reasons why there are high hopes for the upcoming 2016 season. Tony Romo, Dez Bryant, Orlando Scandrick are arguably the top players at their respective positions on the Cowboys roster, and all three missed significant time due to injuries last season. Even running back Lance Dunbar was beginning to show what kind of weapon he can be until once again an injury cut his season short.

Dallas Cowboys: 5 Players That Are Irreplaceable

The Dallas Cowboys battled through their fair share of injuries in 2015 and if they want to have any kind of success in the upcoming 2016 season, they have to avoid the injury bug. The unfortunate thing about injuries is that they are unpredictable and they can really have a major impact on a teams performance depending on which players are the ones to go down. The sad truth for the Cowboys in 2015 was that the injuries that the team endured was to key members and was a major reason why they finished with a 4-12 losing record. I decided to try and identify a few of the Dallas Cowboys players that are simply irreplaceable and would be devastating to the entire team if anyone of them where to go down with an injury and miss an extended period of time. Tony Romo Tony Romo obviously makes this list because we all witnessed firsthand how this team functions without him at the helm leading the offense.

Dez Bryant: Cowboys Emotional And Inspirational Leader

Dez Bryant has received a lot of media attention since joining the league in 2010 after being drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the first round with their 24th pick. Whether it is really warranted or not is another question. The Dallas Cowboys are arguably the most recognizable sports franchise in the entire world and they are no strangers to the media attention that it attracts. This is both a good and bad thing in regards to Dez Bryant. Bryant’s personality makes him stand out and often times his passion for the game can be misconstrued to the point where a lot of people believe he is a detriment to the team.

Re-Dez-ulous: Dez Bryant Ranks 51st In NFL Top 100

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.

With that, let’s enter the Twitterverse and look at some of the best from the silver and blue.

The Dallas Cowboys & Their Own Three Musketeers

Aramis, Porthos, and Athos; all names that should sound somewhat familiar to the majority of you, but really have absolutely zero connection to the Dallas Cowboys, or do they? If you’re not quite sure where you’ve heard those names before, that’s okay. They were first popularized in the novel The Three Musketeers, written by Alexandre Dumas that was published way back in 1844. Since the publication of Dumas’ novel we have seen numerous movies, TV series, and even cartoons depicting the Musketeer’s adventures. For those unaware, I’ll try to familiarize you with the story The Musketeers (the King’s guard) has been disbanded and the three most famous Musketeers (Aramis, Porthos, and Athos) are somewhat muddling around in their lives until they meet a young want to be Musketeer in D’Artagnan.

Dallas Cowboys: Getting Back To The 2014 Blueprint

For a period of time, the Dallas Cowboys couldn’t seem to get away from the 8-8 record, until finally in 2014 they finished with a 12-4 winning season. Unfortunately, the numbers 12 and 4 would pop up again in 2015, but this time the numbers flip-flopped which resulted in the Cowboys finishing with a 4-12 record and having one of the worst seasons in franchise history. The 2014 blueprint that the Cowboys used should once again work for the organization in 2016. There are number reasons why you can take comfort in the fact that this is the direction that head coach Jason Garrett and the rest of the coaching staff believe that this is the best course of action to take. The Cowboys offense carried the entire team in 2014 and helped them go undefeated on the road (8-0).

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.
