By Dave Halprin (Grizz) Most of us believe that the Cowboys roster is as strong as it’s been since the ‘90s dynasty and should compete for Super Bowl. Personally, my own goal for this team is to at least win a playoff game, and then I’ll worry about the Super Bowl. I just can’t handle another season of losing the first pl...

By Brandon W The Cowboys received the opening kickoff and promptly marched straight down the field. A few long runs by Julius Jones, a nice catch by Terrell Owens, and they were sitting on the Giants' 15 yard line just a few minutes into the game. On 2nd and 10, Romo felt pressure from the outside and slid up...

By Dave Halprin (Grizz) Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has initiated some internal discussion about whether acquiring wide receiver Joe Horn from the Atlanta Falcons is an option they should pursue to have a veteran starter opposite Terrell Owens, a team source confirmed.

By Tuna Helper The crew at ESPN's NFL Live discussed each team in the NFC East. Despite the fact that the New York Giants are the champs, the panel started with the ‘Boys. I think everyone knows that Dallas is loaded and should contend for a championship.

By Brandon W While the Cowboys had success in the first half throwing the ball, Terrell Owens had yet to catch a ball. As the Cowboys came out on offense in the 3rd quarter all eyes were on Owens, and how he might react if the Cowboys failed to get him the ball. All worries were instantly brushed aside when Rom...

By Dave Halprin (Grizz) Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has opened up his wallet and his Cowboys have made more moves than any other team in the NFL. They are not looking to the future and this team is built to win a championship sooner rather than later. Jones' roster is loaded and his players are well-paid and happy. Jones s...

By Brandon W This year NFL teams can only bring 80 players to training camp; in previous years there were roster exemptions teams could use to have more than the allowed limit. Today the Cowboys released some players in order to get below the limit as the team prepares for training camp next month.

By Brandon W The Cowboys currently employ Brad Johnson as the backup quarterback to Tony Romo. Great leader in the locker room. Solid veteran presence on the team. A Super Bowl winner. And someone who will be 40 years old in September. Anyways, USA Today had a competition for the worst NFL team in the Super Bo...

By Brandon W With Ken Hamlin and Roy Williams starting ahead of him, Watkins received less chances on the field in 2007 than he did his rookie campaign.

By Brandon W Roy Williams, safety, Dallas The Cowboys tried once a few years back to sign AFL Ironman of the Year Will Pettis but the New Orleans Saints took advantage of waiver rules and snatched Pettis from the Cowboys. The rules have changed now to make it a bit easier to sign AFL players.

By Brandon W And what a great deal it is too. Stephen Jones has perfected the art of managing the salary cap. The Cowboys were seemingly pressed against the ceiling with no room for maneuvering and we were all wondering just how in the heck the Cowboys would be able to sign all these guys that were important...

By Dave Halprin (Grizz) Dallas –- Of all the potential landing spots, none is more intriguing than Dallas. It is a longshot, granted, but Cowboys owner Jerry Jones never can be ruled out. The Cowboys have debated the merits of trading for Taylor and they already hold additional draft picks in 2009 -– Cleveland’s in...

By Tuna Helper The Cowboys remain solid on offense as long as Tony Romo keeps improving. Jason Garrett knows how to keep Terrell Owens motivated and tight end Jason Witten is a rising star. And don't worry about the loss of Julius Jones in free agency because rookies Felix Jones and Tashard Choice, who rush...

By Dave Halprin (Grizz) Even though we didn’t get to see it happen, I can assure you that actual Dallas Cowboys players were participating in organized practices at Valley Ranch over the past couple of days. I know this because the Dallas media told me so. It’s one step closer to where we want to be, the 2008 season, an...

By Dave Halprin (Grizz) Here’s a weird tidbit about the Cowboys trying to sign UDFA’s.  There are different levels of free agents. A "priority free agent" like Oklahoma State fullback Julius Crosslin, who signed with the Dallas Cowboys an hour after the draft ended on Sunday, has an advantage over other free agen...

By Dave Halprin (Grizz) Whew, what a day. Has a NFL draft ever gone by so quickly? I really like the new streamlined format; it makes the action happen much faster and keeps you glued to the TV. Anyway, let’s talk about the Cowboys draft. I feel pretty good about it but do have a few issues.

By Brandon One position that is truly deep this year is running back. It is a popular opinion to have the Cowboys drafting a back in the first round this year, but the fact remains the Cowboys already have a Pro Bowl running back and have not selected one in the first round since Emmitt Smith in 1990. If the C...

Cowboys(from Browns) Felix Jones RB 5-10 207 Arkansas Junior The Cowboys' main priority is to find a quality cover corner who can develop into a quality starter for years to come. But with the top CBs off the board, the Cowboys will add a compliment to Marion Barber in the backfield. Dallas...

By Brandon Lastly, Jones spoke about how this draft for the Cowboys is a bit more about preparing for the near future (Super Bowl 43!), but the Cowboys have to be careful about drafting specifically for need. Ex-Cowboys Herschel Walker will be on Nightline tonight on ABC discussing his battle with mu...

By Dave Halprin (Grizz) A Jones for a Jones: This one made my column and it's only a report of discussions. That should let you know just how ridiculous it is that the Dallas Cowboys are reportedly considering pursuing Adam "Pacman" Jones if he is permitted to return to the NFL. Jerry Jones appears desperate, and it'...

By Dave Halprin (Grizz) WR – Terrell Owens had a quiet day until the TD in garbage time. Darrelle Revis did a very good job of shadowing him. Owens might have had a TD early in the game but Romo underthrew him. Sam Hurd and Miles Austin contributed three catches and I like Austin’s speed with the ball in his hands. Getting h...

By Dave Halprin (Grizz) WR – Terrell Owens checked in with a very productive day; a TD, some great catches and no drops. He also drew double-teams that helped other receivers. On one play, they put an OLB on him with a safety over the top, and that left JJ open underneath and Romo hit him. Owens had a sweet catch on a 3rd and...

Moss lined up outside and ran an ‘in’ deep in the endzone, the other receiver ran crossed under Moss and ran an out to the edge of the endzone. Roy jumped the out and followed while Newman passed of...

In the first series of the game he rushed the QB from a standing position as the Cowboys were playing games at the line and got to Grossman to force an incomplete pass. In a series l...

By Dave Halprin (Grizz) The Cowboys are one of five undefeated teams left in the NFL. Over in the AFC, the recent powers continue to shine as the Colts, Patriots and Steelers are all 3-0. In the NFC, Dallas and Green Bay are the last two standing. That’s so 90’s. Leading the NFC’s elite, we have Favre and Son of Favre .

By Dave Halprin (Grizz) OL – Let me break it down this way; in the passing game they were excellent, in the running game they were OK. In pass protection Leonard Davis had a bad block that led to pressure as did Kyle Kosier, but for most of the game they were excellent. In the running game, Andre Gurode along with Davis an...

By Dave Halprin (Grizz) The run defense was bad, especially on one side of the line. The corners also struggled, and overall the Cowboys couldn't create sustained pressure and only had one sack. It did appear that the Cowboys weren't quite as blitz-happy as they were last week and stayed in base formation a lot, for...

By Grizz The Cowboys could use a punt return guy and you usually get those from the CB or the WR position. Since the Cowboys have a need anyway for help at those two positions, it’s likely that we will get a few candidates in the draft.  Also, with the need for some depth at LB, the Cowboys will get some youn...

By Grizz LB Akin Ayodele impressed the Cowboys with his all-around ability last year and they're hoping he will be even better this season. Playing as the weakside inside linebacker, Ayodele was one of the Cowboys' most productive players. He's physical at the point of attack and willingly takes o...

By Grizz With Ryan Fowler leaving in free agency, the Cowboys could be very thin at ILB if Bobby Carpenter and/or Kevin Burnett play outside. Including the Cowboys decision not to re-sign Al Singleton, although they still could, linebacker is a position of need in terms of depth. Like the outside li...

By Grizz Jamel Richardson, the CFL WR we just signed, was apparently being courted by quite a few teams. His agent told Sun Media there were 11 NFL teams interested in signing Richardson, and after visiting the Cowboys he was scheduled to visit with Indianapolis.

By Grizz Tom Orsborn says there's a new "flavor of the day" concerning the Cowboys first pick in the draft. But the new flavor of the day for Dallas is Pitt's Darrelle Revis, who covered the 40-yard dash in the 4.36-to-4.41-second range Saturday at the Panthers' pro day.
