Dallas Cowboys Make Huge Splash in NFL Draft


The Dallas Cowboys shocked the world last with their first-round pick. The Dallas Cowboys selected star Oklahoma wide receiver, CeeDee Lamb, with the 17th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft last night. CeeDee Lamp was projected as high as going to the Jacksonville Jaguars at the 9th pick.

CeeDee Lamb turns Dallas offense from good to powerhouse! Defenses can no longer stack the back on Ezekiel Elliot with three good receivers in Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup, and CeeDee Lamb. 

The player that benefits the most from the Cowboys drafting CeeDee Lamb is Ezekiel Elliot, he now will not have to face a stacked and can go back to bursting through the wide-open holes the robust offensive line will give him.

Dak Prescott has numerous options to throw to, Dallas and Dak must hurry up and get this deal done, so Dak and CeeDee can build chemistry and timing. 

CeeDee Lamb had a tremendous three-year season with the Oklahoma Sooners. In those three years with the Sooners, he recorded 3,292 receiving yards, 32 receiving touchdowns, and one rushing touchdown.

CeeDee Lamb can do it all he plays the slot receiver or play the outside receiver; he is an electric player.

Dallas Cowboys offense will be nothing short of exhilarating if everyone stays healthy. 

Dallas can now focus on bolstering the secondary and the pass rush.

Dallas still has six picks left to use in the draft, one pick in the second, third, and fourth round, two in the fifth round, and one pick in the seventh round.

Cowboys- Eagles Showdown Preview

The Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles will have a showdown tonight at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX.

Both teams are playing for first place in the NFC East, both teams have something to prove after embarrassing losses last Sunday. The Philadelphia Eagles lost to the Minnesota Vikings 38-20, after Kirk Cousins torched their secondary, with his dynamic wide receiver tandem of Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs.

The Dallas Cowboys tried to come back down 21-3 against the New York Jets only to fall short by a two-point conversion incomplete pass from Dak Prescott to Jason Witten. This lead the Dallas Cowboys to losing to former winless New York Jets 24-22.

Injury Report

Both teams are pretty banged up the Philadelphia Eagles, will be without DeSean Jackson, Jason Peters, Tim Jernigan, and Ronald Darby is questionable for tonight's game.

The Dallas Cowboys have five players questionable to play tonight in Amari Cooper, Randall Cobb, Byron Jones, Tyron Smith, and La'el Collins.

Both teams have key players not playing tonight or are questionable and are game-time decisions to play in this crucial NFC East game.

Keys to the Eagles winning the game

For the Philadelphia Eagles to win tonight, Carson Wentz must be relaxed in the pocket  and get all receivers involved and not just try to throw to his favorite target Zach Ertz  the majority of the time. Wentz must get Nelson Agholor acclimated in the passing game, they have been desperate for a deep threat since DeSean Jackson has been injured.

The Dallas Cowboys have some great linebackers in Jaylon Smith and Leighton Vander Esch. Also, if Byron Jones plays he will probably have that assignment of covering Ertz the whole game.


Also, the Eagles will need to get Jordan Howard acclimated in the running game to wear down the Dallas Cowboys dynamic front seven, to make Wentz job easier.

Keys to the Cowboys winning the game

The keys to the Dallas Cowboys winning the game, the Cowboys must establish the running game early. The Cowboys must get Ezekiel Elliot involved in the game early, he has had great success against the Eagles thus far in his career. They also need to implement promising rookie Tony Pollard as well in the running game to keep Zeke fresh.

Also, Dak Prescott must step up tonight and play as well as he did Week 1 and 2. Although they were against teams with losing records, he needs to play with that same confidence against good teams. Kellen Moore needs to call plays as he did in Week 1 and 2, to give Dak the green light to throw the ball deep against a  horrendous Eagles secondary.

Lastly, the Dallas Cowboys defense needs to go back to playing as they did earlier in the first few weeks of the season. The first three games the defense only allowed 14.6 points per game, the last three games the defense has allowed  23.3 points per game.

The defense must get their edge back tonight if they want to slow down a Philadelphia Eagles dynamic offense.

Game Prediction

My prediction for the game is the Dallas Cowboys will beat the Philadelphia Eagles 27-20.

Contract Disputes Between Ezekiel Elliot and the Dallas Cowboys



Ezekiel Elliot has not reported to training camp, because of a contract dispute with the Dallas Cowboys. Zeke still has two years left on his rookie contract, but he wants to get paid the top running back money that he has rightfully earned!

Currently, Ezekiel Elliot is training in Los Cabos, Mexico instead of Oxnard, CA where the Dallas Cowboys are having their 2019 NFL Training Camp.

Jerry Jones comments didn’t help the situation, when he said, “Everybody knows you can win a Super Bowl without a top running back”. That’s funny coming from an NFL owner, whose franchise won three of the five Super Bowls from having a top running back in Emmitt Smith.

We could see a holdout that carries over into the regular season if Zeke and Cowboys management don’t find common ground in contract negotiations.

Ezekiel has rushed for 4,048 yards, 28 rushing touchdowns, 135 receptions, and 1199 receiving yards, and six receiving touchdowns in three seasons.

Zeke  has even rushed for 983 yards and seven rushing touchdowns after serving a six-game suspension in 2017 that is phenomenal.

The Dallas Cowboys offense needs Zeke to make the offense flow, we have all seen what Dak Prescott looks like without Ezekiel Elliot, the offense looks horrendous.

Only time will tell if both sides will agree on a new contract for Ezekiel Elliot.

How Will Dallas Cowboys Offense Move on Without Dez Bryant?




For starters star running back, Ezekiel Elliot is back, so that takes a lot of stress off of Dak Prescott and the rest of the offense. When the Cowboys drafted star offensive lineman, Connor Williams, this past April, Dallas has shown they were adding depth to the offensive line for if Tyron Smith goes down again.

Many people have been stating that opposing defenses, will be stacking the box on the Cowboy's offense since they don't have a legitimate deep threat receiver. In all honesty, does it really matter who stacks the box when you have the best offensive line in football and will pancake any defender in their way? On top of having one of the most elusive power backs in the NFL, that can make just about any defender miss tackling him with one move.

The Dallas Cowboys have really done a good job of keeping and add pieces that fit Dak Prescott play style. As we all know Prescott plays a very safe game. At times that good for him and at times it frustrates people that he doesn't take to risks downfield. But in Dak's first two years he has 45 touchdowns and has only thrown 17 interceptions. With numbers like that you really can't argue with his conservative play call.

But now without Dez Bryant, Cowboy's receivers must step up and make plays for Dak Prescott. I think the guy that will be a key component for the success of Dallas Cowboys passing game will be Allen Hurns. Hurns is a big deep threat that the Cowboys desperately need. Hopefully, Prescott and Hurns can get the chemistry they need through training camp and preseason games.

Also, Dak Prescott still has one of his favorite targets in Cole Beasley. After a letdown season, look for Cole Beasley to have a bounce-back season. There have been talks that Beasley is off to a fast start at training camp. Hopefully, he keeps this up and it leads to a big season for Cole Beasley.

Another addition that will help the Cowboys passing offense is Tavon Austin catching out the backfield and in the slot position. Tavon has some scary breakaway speed that fits Prescott style of play perfectly.

Terence Williams is the wildcard in the Cowboys offense. He has shown flashes of promise, but is very inconsistent and goes missing in big moments. But, yet in still he fits well in Prescott's play style which was the main reason they brought him back, but if he has another bad season, I could see him getting released.

We will soon see if the Cowboys offense will sink or swim without Dez Bryant.

Five Targets the Dallas Cowboys Should Look at Before the Trade Deadline



With the trade deadline approaching today at 4 PM ET, the Dallas Cowboys have several weakness they need to fill if they're serious about a playoff push. The Dallas Cowboys are currently 4-3, which isn't bad but also isn't playoff worthy either. If it wasn't for the Cowboys defense blowing big leads against the Los Angeles Rams and Green Bay Packers they would be 6-1. So, you should already know what I'm going to say their first target should be any defensive player that can strengthen a weak defense.

Although DeMarcus Lawrence has been having a stellar season with 10.5 sacks. Also, after serving a four-game suspension, David Irving has come back with aggression recording five sacks.

The first target the Cowboys should look into is finding a runner stopper defensive tackle. The Dallas Cowboys really dropped the ball, letting Marcell Dareus getting traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Marcell Dareus was a perfect player to fill the Dallas Cowboys run stopping woes, Dareus is a player that can take out one or two linemen by himself. However, since Dareus is already off the board, another player the Cowboys should look at is Ndamukong Suh. Suh is another offensive line nightmare, he causes havoc and not only stops the run but also gets pressure on the quarterback. I know Miami says, he isn't up for trade, but for the right offer, anyone is available. Dallas needs to at least test the waters with Miami to see what they want for Suh. Dallas run defense is ranked 14th in the league giving up 106 yards per game.

The next target the Cowboys should look into is a veteran shutdown corner. Dallas Cowboys pass defense is currently ranked 12th, which isn't bad. But, if they're serious about chasing a championship, they need to find a lockdown corner. The name they should be targeting is Vontae Davis who currently plays cornerback for the Indianapolis Colts. Vontae is a physical cornerback in his six-year career, he has 22 interceptions and 142 pass deflections. Although the Cowboys invested a large amount of their draft picks into defensive back in the 2017 draft they still need help.

The third target the Cowboys should look into is adding another linebacker with some substance. When Sean Lee is on the field, the defense looks in tune and perfect. But, when Sean Lee is injured the defense looks lost. Jaylon Smith has stepped up since his gruesome injury but is still on a pitch count. The Cowboys should target San Fransisco linebacker Aaron Lynch.just to add depth to their linebacker core.

The fourth target the Cowboys should look into is adding another deep threat for Dak Prescott. Everyone thought Terrance Williams, would be the other deep threat outside of Dez Bryant. Terrance Williams has been nothing but a bust, and shouldn't have been resigned. The name that should interest the Cowboys is Pittsburgh Steelers disgruntled wide receiver, Martavis Bryant. With Martavis being 6'4, and a deep threat he will help out the Dallas offense tremendously especially with Ezekiel Elliot starting his six-game suspension this week.

The fifth and final target, the Cowboys should look into is a running back. With Ezekiel Elliot being suspended for six games, there are rumors the Cowboys have contacted the Tennessee Titans, to see if they're willing to trade former Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray. This would be perfect considering he already knows the system, and if he can deal with the fact he will always be the number two running back and never number one back when Elliot returns this would be perfect.

2017-18 NFL Season Kicks off Tonight


NFL Football is back! Tonight the NFL Hall of Fame Preseason game will take place. The two teams that will be playing are the Dallas Cowboys vs. the Arizona Cardinals.

Although it's just preseason, everyone has been waiting for football to come back on and we're not talking about soccer.

The Dallas Cowboys are coming off a phenomenal 13-3 record from last season. They look to build on that momentum tonight. We will only get to see the Cowboys prolific offense, of Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliot, Dez Bryant, Cole Beasley, and the brick wall offensive line for a series or two. But, that's all we need to see.

What most Cowboys fans and fans, in general, want to see is if Dallas young defense will sink or swim. Cowboys secondary was built through this year's draft, spending a bulk of their draft picks on safeties and corners. Also, we will see if Taco Charlton was the right for Dallas depleted defensive line.

Another young future star will get to see tonight for the Dallas Cowboys, is Ryan Switzer, a former North Carolina standout wide receiver and punt returner. During Switzer's four years at North Carolina, he returned seven punt returns for touchdowns. The Cowboys have starved for a punt returner for the longest. They didn't want to overwork Cole Beasley and Dez Bryant. In my eyes, Ryan Switzer was the steal of the draft.

On the Arizona Cardinals side, the Cardinals are coming off a disappointing season. Last season, the Cardinals finished 7-8-1. But, the only bright spot for the Cardinals, was the emergence of star running back David Johnson. He does it all! As Carson Palmer gets older, the younger quarterbacks will get to make their case on why they should be the next QB to lead the franchise.

Former Temple star, Haason Reddick should cause havoc for opposing teams quarterbacks alongside Chandler Jones.

Tonight's game will take place 8 PM EST on NBC & NFL Network.
