Dallas Cowboys

By The Gryphon(noreply@blogger.com) Jones received three years of probation when he pleaded no contest to a felony in February and police reports suggest that he may have been drinking when he was involved in a scuffle with a bodyguard last week. Commissioner Roger Goodell hinted earlier this week that Jones may face another...

By The Gryphon(noreply@blogger.com) General manager Martin Mayhew said Monday that Williams wasn't being shopped, but Schefter reports that the Lions are working the phones and may have been in talks with the Cowboys. Detroit is said to be asking for more than a first-round pick, which would make a deal very unlikely.

By The Gryphon(noreply@blogger.com) Commissioner Goodell will evaluate Jones' situation again after Week 11. If Jones stays out of the news, it sounds like he'll be reinstanted. But ESPN's Ed Werder cites sources inside Dallas that say Jones may not have a place on the team when he returns because of a combination of his averag...

By The Gryphon(noreply@blogger.com) Adam Schefter of NFL Network noted earlier that the Lions asked for DeMarcus Ware in exchange for Williams, which the Cowboys hopefully laughed at. The trade deadline is 4:00 p.m. ET and the Lions are said to be holding out for more than a first-round pick. Related: Cowboys

By The Gryphon(noreply@blogger.com) Because the one thing they are missing is a diva wide receiver with an expiring contract. That is a huge bounty for Detroit, especially when no one else wanted Williams. The move smacks of desperation on the heels of an ugly weekend in Dallas, but Williams helps Brad Johnson's chances for sho...

By The Gryphon(noreply@blogger.com) New York Jets quarterback Brett Favre, who has started an NFL-record 258 consecutive regular-season games, told ESPN he called Tony Romo to offer encouragement as the young quarterback copes with a fractured finger on his passing hand that apparently will end his streak of consecutiv...

By The Gryphon(noreply@blogger.com) “What a way to have the last Monday Night Football game at Texas Stadium,” Jones said. “It had it all.” Phillips went to check on Romo after his fumble. While the Cowboys came away keeping pace with the New York Giants atop the NFC East, they couldn’t keep their lineup intact.

By The Gryphon(noreply@blogger.com) Stan Hochman covered the Eagles from 1967-75 and he talks about a Bounty Bowl that didn't include Jimmy Johnson or Buddy Ryan: The bitter rivalry started with a bang, not a whimper. Linebacker Lee Roy Jordan banged his elbow into Tim Brown's jaw, fractured it, loosened six teeth.

By The Gryphon(noreply@blogger.com) The impressive task was shutting down Kellen Winslow Jr. who made some big grabs in the middle of Dallas’ defense on the Browns long TD drive that ended the 1st quarter and bled into the 2nd. Dallas used a variety of coverages on him in the 2nd and 3rd quarters, never allowing him to get single co...

By The Gryphon(noreply@blogger.com) WR – Terrell Owens had a great day that should have been even better but he got robbed on a couple of calls. Besides beating the Browns for a long TD, he made a few tough catches; one on a pass behind him on a crossing route and another high pass on a comeback route. He caught a slant at the goal line to...

By The Gryphon(noreply@blogger.com) IRVING, Texas (AP) -- Terrell Owens has an easy way for the Dallas Cowboys to hide their lack of proven receivers: Just throw it to him more. Now coach Wade Phillips, offensive coordinator Jason Garrett and quarterback Tony Romo are reaping the rewards of a happy, healthy Owens.

By The Gryphon(noreply@blogger.com) On the defensive end this will again be seen in the passing game. Three key players to the Browns pass D either have been or are currently affected by injuries. First, up front for the Browns, Corey Williams spent a good deal of his first Browns training camp on the sidelines. This is not a long te...

By The Gryphon(noreply@blogger.com) For backup quarterback Brad Johnson, tonight's game is a chance to work with the first-team offense. For cornerback Adam Jones, it's a chance to continue to knock off the rust from a year's absence. For rookie wide receiver and Texas Tech product Danny Amendola, it may be a final chance to ma...

By The Gryphon(noreply@blogger.com) 4:23 -- We shouldn't expect to see the Jones boys (Pacman and Felix) as return men much vs. San Diego. They're the favorites for those jobs during the regular season -- Pacman on punts and possibly kickoffs, Felix on kickoffs -- but Phillips wants to see what some other guys can do. Danny Amendo...

By The Gryphon(noreply@blogger.com) The Cowboys are working at OTAs right now and will storm into training camp in Oxnard with a dozen returning Pro Bowlers. That’s half the starting lineup! They have first-team All-Pro types such as quarterback Tony Romo, left tackle Flozell Adams, tight end Jason Witten, wide receiver Te...

By The Gryphon(noreply@blogger.com) 1) Dallas Cowboys Dallas Cowboy’s Record: 12-4—NFC East Divisional Champion; NFC No. 1 Seed. 2) Philadelphia Eagles Philadelphia Eagle’s Record: 10-6: NFC East Second Place; NFC No. 5 Seed 3) New York Giants Playoff Result: Won Super Bowl 4) Washington Redskins

By The Gryphon(noreply@blogger.com) Terrell Owens will mentor Jones. Let’s pounce on ESPN some more here. SportsCenter used this story as a tease, saying something along the lines of “Coming up, if Pac Man gets into trouble this year, find out which Cowboy will be to blame.” Yeah, that’s fair media coverage. Jones will have count...

By The Gryphon Quarterback ANALYSIS Dallas is short on bodies at this position, although a workout player has been added for the minicamp. It would be good if the Cowboys bring in someone who is at least a threat to replace Johnson, who didn't show much last preseason or in his brief appearance and isn't go...

By The Gryphon Gosselin [Dallas: B -]: Charean Williams, Fort Worth Star-Telegram: Picks: RB Felix Jones, DB Mike Jenkins, TE Martellus Bennett, RB Tashard Choice, DB Orlando Scandrick, DL Erik Walden Negative: No young wide receiver to develop.

By The Gryphon Iyer: Jones is the ideal replacement for Julius Jones, and it doesn't hurt that Arkansas alum Jerry Jones had a jones for taking a Razorbacks back. Dallas smartly adds young pop to the backfield to complement the power of Marion Barber.

By The Gryphon By ALBERT BREER / The Dallas Morning News abreer@dallasnews.com Terrell Owens has 74 catches, 1,270 yards, 14 touchdowns and three games left to continue redefining most precedents for a receiver his age. Most lose a step. Owens hasn't seemed to. Most wear down. Owens just won't.

By The Gryphon While Romo may be the leading the charge, it is an entire team effort from the rest of the 9-1 Cowboys. Wide receiver Terrell Owens, who in years past was criticized for being a selfish individual and bad teammate, has bought into the team oriented approach. After catching eight balls for 173...

By The Gryphon Giants head coach Tom Coughlin has a 5-5 record against Dallas as a head coach, including 4-3 since arriving in New York in 2004. Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips is 1-1 against the Giants in his career as a head coach, with the defeat coming for his Bills team in 1999. Phillips is 2-0 against Co...

By The Gryphon The Cowboys, whose only loss is to undefeated New England, can take another substantial step Sunday when they play at the New York Giants (6-2) in a rematch of the season opener Dallas won, 45-35. New York has won six games in a row and is coming off its open date.

By The Gryphon Aside from the Indianapolis Colts, New England Patriots and Dallas Cowboys, is anybody really any good in the NFL this season? Those three are the three remaining unbeaten teams and by 8 p.m. Sunday we will be down to two since the Cowboys and Patriots meet in Game of the Season/Decade/Centu...

By The Gryphon Romo has gone 11-4 so far, securing himself so closely alongside Troy Aikman and Roger Staubach in the team's record book that his image might as well join them on the boss' wall. But after nearly a full season of Romo-mania, the Cowboys are pleased to know what they've got—the heir to Aikman...

By The Gryphon His Cowboys didn't crack Monday night, despite plenty of forehead-slapping moments -- from Tony Romo throwing five interceptions to Romo losing a fumble, from Terrell Owens dropping a tying 2-point conversion pass to Owens dropping a long pass that might've set up a short field goal fo...

By The Gryphon If there was ever a notice sent that this isn't Parcells' team anymore, it came when Romo, using his feet to buy some time, instead hit Terrell Owens for 35 yards, the key play in what would be a 91-yard touchdown drive that gave the Cowboys the lead for good.

By The Gryphon Can I take the easy way out and say neither? I expect it to be a somewhat low scoring game, but I don't think the Cowboys offense will be totally shut-down. We'll put some points on the board and this will force the Bears to try and match, probably leading to more chance-taking by your offense. Th...

By The Gryphon Calvin Watkins: Jason Witten needed a IV and Terrell Owens took some time off during a series. The Cowboys' training camp was probably no different than some training camps. It was strange to see the team start training camp in shells instead of pads. But I think the team is fit.

By The Gryphon DALLAS -- If there were any questions about how the Cowboys would play for new head coach Wade Phillips, they were answered Sunday night. The Dallas defense, having given up 438 yards to the Giants, has some holes to patch. Luckily for the Cowboys, the offense is good enough to win shootouts.

By The Gryphon Terrell Owens held court with reporters Wednesday, sharing his opinions on various topics, from Michael Vick to Bill Parcells to the raised expectations of the 2007 Cowboys. How about things with a more recent sparring partner, Bill Parcells: "Anything regarding Bill Parcells is not a...

By The Gryphon TAYLOR: The best thing you can hope for is that Aaron Glenn hasn't lost it. He has struggled in training camp, but the Cowboys will be OK if he regains the form that made him a pretty good player the last couple of years. Bill Parcells used to say he needed to see "it" from his veterans at least once...

By The Gryphon Jason Witten saw extended time in this game and responded with three catches for 47 yards and a TD. Tony Curtis was the main backup to Witten and caught a long pass from Brad Johnson for 33 yards. Adam Bergen had no impact on the game. Flozell Adams turned his guy loose on a play forcing Romo out of t...

By The Gryphon Trisha Trevino, a native of San Benito, TX, has been a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader for three years. She took some time from a hectic schedule to tell us a little bit about life as one of America's Sweethearts. This year, we have 20 returning veterans out of a squad of 36, and we're still in our tra...

By The Gryphon Julius Jones had a nice night, for as long as it lasted. He had a very nice run-after-catch on a short pass, and picked up some good yards on his runs. He almost broke one open big on a cutback run, but suffered from his major flaw, when he gets contact he usually goes down. If he could’ve kept his bal...

By The Gryphon It almost doesn't even matter how this group performs in 2007 because the star of this class is the future #1 they got from Cleveland and Dallas fans are already dreaming of Darren McFadden. An interesting sidebar however is the deal with hated rival Philadelphia and should Anthony Spence...

By The Gryphon Obviously, Owens and Glenn have the deep play capabilities (and Crayton isn't too shabby on the deep ball either). But Crayton is a good short and intermediate route guy and that's exactly the area where Owens excels in. Don't be surprised to see the Cowboys utilize a lot of 3 WR sets with Owen...

By The Gryphon Dallas Cowboys A year ago, Mike Vanderjagt had just signed a multi-year deal. Then-head coach Bill Parcells released him in November and brought in Martin Gramatica. Dallas drafted Arizona kicker Nick Folk in the sixth round, and although he struggled with accuracy in college, his power...

By The Gryphon The Cowboys also have to look at replacing left tackle Flozell Adams, who is in the final year of his contract. If Tony Romo takes a step back, they might have to look at a quarterback, too. Maybe the delay in getting a receiver will work. The Cowboys got a nice pass-rusher in Anthony Spencer in th...

By The Gryphon The Cowboys have been denied permission to speak with Stewart, who is the Chargers secondary coach. And although the Chargers have stated that they plan to keep Stewart on staff, the recent of hiring of former Baylor defensive coordinator Bill Bradley as secondary coach has the Cowboys h...
