Monte Kiffin told his players to study two teams’ defenses from last season: the Chicago Bears and Seattle Seahawks. A couple of Kiffin disciples (new Dallas defensive line coach Rod Marinelli and new Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Gus Bradley) coordinated those two units, which ranked among the NFL’s top five in scoring defense, total defense and turnovers forced.
GRAPEVINE, Texas -- Change is nothing new for Dallas Cowboys cornerback Brandon Carr. After all, he'll be adjusting to a new defensive coordinator for the third consecutive season. Carr played for Romeo Crennel in 2011 with Kansas City, Rob Ryan last year and now readies for the 2013 season with Monte Kiffin.
Last week, Tim MacMahon produced his ridiculously premature 53-man roster. I will give you my early analysis of the roster, including who is a lock to make the team and those who could be on the bubble.
IRVING, Texas – The Cowboys’ pre-draft press conference took a strange turn when the Jones family, unprompted, went off on a tangent trying to justify their first-round picks from five years ago.
GRAPEVINE, Texas -- Several current and former Dallas Cowboys players gathered Sunday night at the Gaylord Texas to support the Taste of the NFL: The Ultimate Cowboys Tailgate Party. But this wasn't any normal party.
The Cowboys started voluntary offseason workouts Monday at Valley Ranch. Most players worked out prior to Monday or were rehabbing injuries. Here's a primer: Who runs the program? Mike Woicik, the Cowboys' strength and conditioning coach, has a program in place for every player that includes lifting, running and even eating (if necessary).
Here are the Cowboys' latest salary cap figures for the 2013 season. Quarterback Tony Romo continues to have the highest salary cap figure for the season coming in at $11.8 million. Before Romo signed his mega contract for $119.
Jerry Jones and Jason Garrett, the two biggest faces with the Dallas Cowboys, praised the work of wide receiver Dez Bryant in two separate conversations last week at the NFL owners meetings. And not just his on-the-field work, but what he's done off the field.
According to a source, the Oakland Raiders have expressed interest in free agent cornerback Mike Jenkins. Jenkins, a 2008 Cowboys first-round pick, has been to one Pro Bowl, and was a main starter during his time in Dallas.
So I've been trying to find something to write about the Dallas Cowboys even though they have no cap room and aren't signing anyone, because this is an NFC East blog and should hit on all four of the teams as much as possible.
