We need you Dez!!!!!



           With all the great and exciting new things going on with the Dallas Cowboys, its easy to forget about the great things they’ve had. The Cowboys have a great young nucleus but they also have some really good veteran pieces as well. Sean Lee made his first all-pro team last season and is considered one of the best linebackers in football. Jason Witten will retire as one of the best tight ends to ever play this game. Then that leads me to Dez Bryant, the “X-factor”. Since coming into the league in 2010 you have amazed Cowboys fans with your brilliant showcase of physical attributes.  Your body control, leaping ability, and overall physicality is second to none. The last two years have been tough on you health wise but this team will need you in order to make a super bowl run.
            All great offenses usually have a good to great quarterback, a good to great running back, and a good great wide receiver. Dak is going into his second season and time will tell how good this young man will turn out to be. Zeke has already exhibited the skills that make a great running back. Dez is that last piece to the Cowboys current version of the triplets.


            In 2014 Bryant lead the league in receiving touchdowns with 16. That year he also had 1320 yards receiving on 88 receptions. Those aren’t just good numbers they’re great numbers! The two season prior to 2014 he also had double digit touchdowns and over 1000 receiving yards. The point is when healthy Dez is beast! The only thing slowing him down is injuries. Luckily, for him he hasn’t had any major injuries (torn ligaments, broken bones, ruptured muscles, etc.). The Cowboys are going to need that 2014 Dez Bryant back. They need a legit number one receiver that will make the tough catches and catch the fade routes in the redzone.
            I truly expect a great year from Dez. Defenses will be occupied with the rushing attack and for all you people that think defense will figure out the Cowboys, stop it! A run first philosophy isn’t anything new. This offensive scheme has been around since the beginning of football. The Cowboys are bigger and stronger than everyone else and you have to stop the run before you stop any other part of this offense.
            I digress, with defenses committing to stopping the run Dez will see a lot of one on one, and high low coverage looks. They won’t be able to just double him because they’re going to need the safety in run support most times. Defense will shade the safety to his side to give the appearance of a double. That is when he will need to win those matchups, and make big plays. I predict 12 touchdowns, 1300 yards, and 90 receptions for Dez this year. Dak will be a lot more comfortable in the offense and will take more chances down the field. Those chances will go in Dez’s directions. Together those two will have a great season!

Five keys to beating the Broncos 2017

                      I would call the Cowboys week one performance against division rivalry New York Giants, a good start to the season. The one thing we know about the NFL is that things change week to week. As fans we have to try and not overact to anything we saw in week one. The Cowboys ability to wear a defense down is no mirage. This offensive line is good and with La’el Collins at right tackle, it may be better than last season’s offensive line. Listen Doug Free was a good tackle for the Cowboys his entire career. Collins has the ability to be a force on the right side, and maybe take over for Tyron on the Left if he continues to struggle with injuries and has to call it quits. I’m not pushing Smith out the door but more and more football players are choosing to walking away in decent physical and mental shape.             The Cowboys were able to ti...

Five Keys to beating the Chiefs!!!

            I must admit that I’m most excited about this Chiefs game, than any other game the Cowboys have played this season. Beating the Redskins was bitter sweet; because they weren’t supposed to be good this year. I thought the Cowboys would roll the Broncos, but they laid an egg. The Packers have put the Cowboys out the playoffs the last two times and I was excited about seeing that game. There is something different about this Chiefs game. It feels a lot like the Steelers game from last season.             Remember when everyone said the Cowboys couldn’t beat the Steelers at home, they’re too young. The Steeler had the veteran QB, the star receiver, the star running back, and the home field advantage. The only difference between the Steelers last season and the Chiefs this season is the home field advantage. The Chiefs have the veteran QB in Alex Smith, who is an MVP candidate. Their star rece...

R-E-L-A-X Cowboys fans!!!!!

Cowboys fan are you ready to plant your feet firmly on the ground now? The Cowboys have high expectations set for them in 2017, and rightfully so. They won 13 games last year. Last year the rookies looked great and the thought is that they would come in more experienced. They beat the one team that swept them last season. Everything has been going right for this Cowboys team and now they finally have some adversity to face.         When everything goes your way and things appear to be easy, you begin to read the press clippings. The fans start shouting "Super Bowl" loud enough for everyone to hear it. These players and this coaching staff needed a wake up call. The Cowboys had a lot of turnover, this offseason,  on the defensive side of the ball. You had to be insane or delusional to think that this Cowboys wouldn't struggle at times this season. The defense was already bad, throw in 4 rookies and a lackluster pass rush and y...
