Even though Saturday’s game “doesn’t count,” there are still a lot of things both coaches and fans would like to see from the players. A variety of training camp battles have yet to reach a conclusion and a handful of injuries will force would-be backups into the starting lineup.
Here is [...]
Last week, I posted the Cowboys’ five biggest strengths heading into the 2010 season. Those are the primary reasons that Dallas is favored by many to win the NFC. Here is what could potentially bring them down. . .
5. The schedule
Playing in the NFC East, the Cowboys’ schedule is always difficult. Road trips to Philadelphia, [...]

As the fourth game on their five-game preseason schedule, Saturday night’s match-up against Houston will be the closest to a “real game” that Dallas will encounter until September 12 in Washington.

Yesterday, I published by 2010 All-Pro Offense. Two Cowboys made the cut: Jason Witten and Miles Austin. Today comes the defense, and again, two Cowboys are listed.

The Cowboys really played quite awfully, although there were some good signs (the offense scored a red zone touchdown and Sean Lee showed flashes of [...]

Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers
To me, the Packers are the Cowboys’ most fierce competition in the NFC. Like Tony [...]

Before the Cowboys’ third preseason game in San Diego, I published a list of DOs and DON’Ts for Dallas. Let’s see how they performed:

In my original post-game notes, I remarked that it seemed as though the Cowboys actually let Brewster out [...]
