Dallas Note to Garrett: Run the Ball and Then Spread it Around

Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo threw the ball 47 times in their season-opening loss to the Redskins. In contrast, Dallas only called 22 running plays. You can’t throw the ball nearly 50 times and expect to win a football game in the NFL. Just ask Peyton Manning, whose Colts lost to the Texans for just the [...]

Buehler’s Missed Field Goal Proves Costly in Cowboys’ Loss to Redskins

As if nothing else could go wrong for the Cowboys in their season-opening loss at Washington, new kicker David Buehler missed his first field goal attempt in the NFL. Even worse; it was a measly 34-yard attempt. It was a chip shot for a guy who kicked 29 kickoffs out of the end zone last [...]

Dallas in Turmoil Over Loss to Redskins in Opener

   It wasn’t Donovan McNabb; it wasn’t Mike Shanahan. It wasn’t even the Redskins’ top-ten pass defense. It was penalties and just dumb mental mistakes that cost the Cowboys a win in Washington Sunday night. Dallas held McNabb in check the entire game and kept the Redskins’ offense out of the end zone. Washington’s only [...]

Mental Mistakes Crush Cowboys in 13-7 Loss to Redskins in Season Opener

  The first half was not kind to the Cowboys; it was full of penalties and other mental mistakes. After the Cowboys’ only meaningful drive ended in a missed field goal by David Buehler, running back Tashard Choice fumbled a pitch from quarterback Tony Romo on an improvisational last play of the half. Washington cornerback DeAngelo Hall [...]

Cowboys vs Redskins Week 1 Preview

When the Cowboys take on the Redskins in Washington for the NFL Sunday night opener, several questions will be answered about the new-look home team. The Redskins have a new coach in Mike Shanahan, a new quarterback in Donovan McNabb, a new running partner for Clinton Portis in Larry Johnson, and a new 3-4 defense. Shanahan [...]

Cowboys Captains Announced….Sort of

Dallas head coach Wade Phillips said his team voted on captains Friday, but he would not tell the media who was elected. After a poll of several players, we think we have the list: DeMarcus Ware, Jason Witten, Keith Brooking, Bradie James, Tony Romo, Marion Barber, and Sam Hurd. Phillips said earlier in the week [...]

DeMarcus Ware Excited About Facing Redskins’ Rookie Left Tackle in Opener

The Sunday night opener between the Cowboys and Redskins is very exciting for Dallas outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware and Washington rookie left tackle Trent Williams, but for very different reasons. Unfortunately for Redskins quarterback Donovan McNabb, Williams’ first NFL test will be blocking Ware, a Pro Bowler the past four years and league sack leader in [...]

Miles Austin Signs 6-Year Extension With Cowboys

Even though Dallas wide receiver Miles Austin has only started twelve NFL games (all in 2009), team owner Jerry Jones said he has never been more willing to dole out such a handsome contract to any player. That’s a lot coming from a guy who has handed out some major deals in his day. Austin [...]

The mother site to The Cowboys Central, www.RantSports.com, released its very first NFL Power Rankings yesterday. Three of Rant Sports’ writers are responsible for the list, myself included. The list is a combination of votes from the three of us, which include all 32 NFL teams just before Week 1 kicks off on Thursday night. Dallas landed at [...]

Heavy Rain Causes Cowboys to Move Practice to TCU

Thankfully Hurricane Hermine did not do much damage in the Dallas-Forth Worth area, but its remnants scared some folks on Tuesday night. The heavy showers and high winds left many streets and fields flooded this morning. Among those fields was the Cowboys’ typical practice location at Valley Ranch in Irving, Texas. With the practice field too [...]
