Dallas Cowboys Bolster QB Situation Amid Dak Prescott’s Contract Conflict


This past Saturday, the Dallas Cowboys signed former Cincinnati Bengals starting Quarterback for nine seasons Andy Dalton, to a one year deal worth $3 million, with bonuses that could lead to a total of $7 million. 

Currently, Andy Dalton is ranked 44th all-time in passing yards with 31,594.

Andy Dalton's career stats are 31.594 passing yards, 204 passing touchdowns, 118 interceptions, 1,221 rushing yards, and 22 rushing touchdowns. 

Dallas signs a veteran quarterback who can lead this talented offense if Dak & the Cowboys front office continue to have issues completing a deal that both sides agree on.

Dallas has not a second to waste with championship contention window ticking, so signing a veteran Quarterback in Dalton was a smart idea.

Dalton's career recordas a starter is 70-61 in his career. 

However, if everything goes as planned and Dak gets the deal he wants. Dalton will be a great backup Quarterback to have.

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.

NFC East First-Round Draft Predictions


All four NFC East teams have significant needs in the draft. I’m going to do my predictions for the first round. 

Let’s go alphabetical order starting with the Runner Up in the NFC East standings last season Dallas Cowboys.

Dallas Cowboys

Dallas Cowboys Needs: Secondary, Pass Rusher, Add Depth to Offensive Like 

Dallas Cowboys needs significant secondary help, after losing Byron Jones in free agency to the Miami Dolphins. They also need another pass rusher to complement DeMarcus Lawrence on the other side of the defensive line. 

Dallas also needs a slot receiver with Randle Cobb leaving in free agency to the Houston Texans. 

Lastly, Dallas needs to address the QB situation for if Dak Prescott holds out. 

Dallas needs to address the complementary pass rusher situation for if Randy Gregory and Aldon Smith aren’t reinstated or addressing the secondary issues. Dallas has been on life support with the safety position for a while. 

I believe with pick 17 in the first-round they either trade back into the mid-20s to draft Xavier McKinney or draft LB pass rusher K’Lavon Chaisson at 17 to add even more depth to the strong linebacker core and take some pressure off of DeMarcus Lawrence by getting to the Quarterback. 

Wildcard first-round pick: Cornerbacks C.J. Henderson. 

K’Lavon Chaisson had a very productive season with LSU this past season where he had 34 solo tackles, 13.5 tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks, and one forced fumble. 

If K’Lavon Chaisson brings that same productivity to the NFL he can help replace the loss of Robert Quinn to free agency to the Chicago Bears. 

Xavier McKinnley can fix the Dallas Cowboys safety they desperately need, the signing of Ha Ha Clinton Dix is a good start, but having both of them at the safety position will put them over the top. 

Xavier is a ball hawk he caused four forced fumbles this season, 59 solo tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, three sacks, three interceptions, and one fumble recovered at Alabama. 

Dallas desperately needs a secondary player that can force turnovers which they haven’t had in years. The last time a secondary player had five or more interceptions was safety Gerald Sensabaugh back in 2010. That’s a whole decade since Dallas had a ball hawk secondary player. 

Philadelphia Eagles

Next up are this past season NFC East Champs Philadelphia Eagles. 

Philadelphia Draft Needs: Wide Receiver, Linebacker Depth, Offensive Line Depth

Philadelphia Eagles needs couldn’t be any clearer in what they need, say receiver three times in the mirror for good luck.

The Eagles receiving core dropped 19 passes this past season.

The Eagles have several options at the 21st pick. 

I believe the Eagles pick Justin Jefferson at pick 21.

Wildcard first-round pick: Eagles trade up to draft Henry Ruggs III. 

Justin Jefferson 6 feet 3 inches 192-pound wide receiver, finished with 111 receptions, 1540 receiving yards, and 18 receiving touchdowns this past season at LSU. 

Henry Ruggs III, 6 foot 190-pound wide receiver, finished with 40 receptions, 746 receiving yards, and seven touchdowns this past season at Alabama. His numbers don’t do him any justice since we all know how much Alabama loves to run the ball which was shown by Najee Harris rushing for 1224 rushing yards and 13 rushing touchdowns. 

New York Giants 

Next up will be the New York Giants.

New York Giants Needs: Linebacker Depth, Cornerback, Offensive Line Depth,

The New York Giants desperately need a linebacker which is why they signed Blake Martinez this offseason.

But, they still need another linebacker to complement him.

I predict the New York Giants will draft 6 feet 4 inches 230-pound Linebacker Isaiah Simmons from Clemson. 

Isaiah Simmons finished with 67 solo tackles, eight sacks, three interceptions, and two forced fumbles. 

Isaiah can add much-needed productivity to the New York Giants defense. 

Wildcard first-round pick: New York Giants trade back to add picks and draft Tristan Wirfs.

New York Giants finished 25th in run blocking and 17th in pass protection. This shows how desperately they need to improve on the offensive line. 

Tristan is an All-American 6 feet 5 inches 320-pound tackle who is versatile and can play Left or Right Tackle, which is tremendous value in itself. Why not help your franchise QB and star running back Saquon Barkley. 

The last team up will be the Washington Redskins.

This a no brainer the Washington Redskins will draft future superstar 6 feet 5 inches 265-pound pass rusher Chase Young from THE Ohio State Buckeyes. 

This is the second year in a row their first-round pick is a Buckeye. 

Chase Young finished with 32 solo tackles, 21 tackles for a loss, 16.5 sacks, and seven forced fumbles. 

Wildcard first-round pick: Washington Redskins trade back to get Tua Tagovailoa if they aren’t fully sold on starting Quarterback Dwayne Haskins. 

This draft should be very interesting!

Dallas Cowboys Continue to Bolster Defensive Line



Earlier this week, the Dallas Cowboys continue to strengthen their defensive line by signing former Pro Bowl Defensive Tackle Dontari Poe.

Dontari Poe reunites with his former Carolina Panthers teammate Gerald McCoy.

Dontari Poe had a decent season last year for the Panthers where he recorded four sacks, 22 combined tackles, and a career-high seven total tackles for a loss. 

Thoroughout Poe eight seasons in the league, he has recorded 202 tackles, 31 tackles for a loss, 20.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery.  

This will be a great addition to the Cowboys defensive line, they now have two game-changers that can win in the trenches from the inside, which will make star pass rusher DeMarcus Lawrence job easier.

With Randy Gregory on the brink of possibly being reinstated into the NFL, this defensive line could be one of the best front four the Cowboys have had in years!

Also, by the Cowboys addressing their defensive line concerns, they can now focus on their secondary issues in the draft, where there is a plethora of talent at those positions.

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.

DeSean Jackson Reunited with the Philadelphia Eagles


DeSean Jackson was traded back to the Philadelphia Eagles, where he began his career. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers traded their deep threat wide receiver DeSean Jackson and a 2019 seventh round pick, to the Philadelphia Eagles for a 2019 sixth round pick.

Jackson averaged 19 yards per catch, which made it a surprise the Buccaneers traded him, especially after losing another productive receiver Adam Humphries in free agency to the Tennessee Titans.

DeSean Jackson has had a phenomenal 11-year career where he has currently 10,261 receiving yards, 589 receptions, and 53 touchdowns.

Some of DeSean best year’s came in Philly, especially where he a career high 1,332 receiving yards, career-high receptions 82, and career-high nine receiving touchdowns in 2013, before he was abruptly released by the Philadelphia Eagles during the Chip Kelly era.

It will be great to see the long bombs Eagles Quarterback Carson Wentz connects with DeSean Jackson. With Alshon Jeffery & DeSean Jackson lining up together, it will give defensive coordinators nightmares to game plan on how to stop both of them.

DeSean Jackson contract was restructured to a 3 year/$27 million deal, right after the trade.

Can Dez Bryant be a good fit in Cleveland?


Dez Bryant was released by the Dallas Cowboys this past April.

Surprisingly, Dez is still without a job. He turned down a three year $21 million deal from the Baltimore Ravens.

Now there is a mutual interest between the Cleveland Browns and Dez Bryant.

Dez Bryant met the Cleveland Browns this past Thursday, but no deal was reached.

After the Browns trading Corey Coleman to the Buffalo Bills, and Josh Gordon still dealing with his personal problems. You would think the Browns needed a wide receiver ASAP, but with the emergence of rookie receiver Antonio Callaway, do they really need Dez Bryant?

Dez isn’t what he use to be, but he still can make big plays for the Browns offense. The real problem is can he fit in with the new culture Browns are creating positive energy and hard work no days off unless your leg is falling off as Jarvis Landry said on Hard Knocks.

Dez fits the hard work no days off description, but the positive energy is another story. We have seen his tirades on the sideline in Dallas when he doesn’t get his way. Does John Dorsey, Hue Jackson, Todd Haley really want to deal with that?

If this deal happens the Browns will have one of the best wide receiver cores in the league.

Maybe Jarvis Landry can keep Dez leveled headed, but only time will tell.

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.
