October 22, 2009 ArchivesCowboy's owner Jerry Jones said yesterday that he turned down an offer for one of his young players before Tuesday's trade deadline and today reports indicate that player was Tight End Martellus Bennett. "I just think that's part of this league and part of things going on the NFL," Bennett says. "I'm happy to be a Cowboy. This is where I want to be so thank you Jerry." The Cincinnati Bengals were apparently the team trying to a...
He's best known as the Cowboy player who once ate a cricket on a bet. And his nickname instantly became "Cricket." I know an almost invisable fullback nicknamed "Cricket" might not hold a great deal of weight to the general public when it comes to his opinion. But "Cricket" might have a point when it comes to the Atlanta game, "We're stronger than they are up front," he told me. "So let's run the ball and impose our will." Cowboys linebacker Keith Brooking says there are plenty of people in the Falcons organization that he still cares about deeply, but he said jokingly he still wants to "bash their heads in" Sunday. The Senoia, Ga native played 11 seasons for the Falcons, after graduating from Georgia Tech. He's all about Atlanta football. He's also incredibly emotional on the football field: see his head-butt into the chest of linebackers coach Reggie...
The Cowboys have been awful in the red zone in the past 3 games. I actually call the area inside the opponents 20 yard line "the green zone." Its where pro players make their money. Given that, the Cowboys are in a red zone recession. 9 trips in the last 3 games have netted just 2 touchdowns, and in 3 of those trips, they came away with no points at all! In this offensive-minded NFL that'll get you beat, unless of course, you're playing ...
He may not be the go to guy on the field, but Roy Williams is proving otherwise in the locker room. More honest talk from the Cowboys highest paid receiver today. Its been a little more than a year since Jerry Jones pulled the trigger on what has become a much-maligned trade. He gave up first, third, and sixth round picks and is paying Williams $45 million over six years. When asked about his performance, Williams said, "It's...
We know turnovers and penalties can kill a football team ... so why aren't the Cowboys dead yet? This is a team that ranks high in penalties and low in turnover margin. Start with the penalties - Dallas is 5th in penalties per game, at 7-point-4. And those flags are costing the Cowboys 66 yards per game, which is 4th worst in the league. 23 different Cowboys players have commtted a total of 37 penalties. Floze...
