Dallas Cowboys Research Paper

Improved Essays
It seems to be do or die for the Cowboys as they head into their much needed BYE week.

The Cowboys have had quite the heart wrenching season so far, and that is putting it mildly. Week one the Cowboys suffered the loss of their star wideout in Dez Bryant. As if this wasn't devastating enough the very next week, their playmaker and heart of the offense Tony Romo went during the third quarter resulting in a broken clavicle. So there they were. Heading into week 3 with their two best offensive weapons looking at lengthly recovery times. It was as if the Dallas Cowboys season had flashed before their very eyes. The next three games resulted in no wins, and the Cowboys season hanging in the balance.

Personally, I believe that their is more

Unfortunately with three consecutive losses their margin for error if you will has been substantially tightened. The Cowboys have to make a move and have to make one quick, before one of their NFC EAST rivals start to pull too far away in the race, for the Cowboys to possibly even think of making a comeback. There are two major things i personally think that need to be a priority during this bye week. One being that they need to focus on the talent that they have on their current roster and stop focusing on the talent that is injured. One major issue that has been very apparent has been the offensive "vanilla" like play calling. You cannot call the same play on the same down over and over and expect that to fool opposing defenses. if you never take a shot deep down field you are not keeping defenses honest. Even though the Cowboy's are without the NFL's best wideout, they cannot call plays like they are. Its causing multiple 3 and out's and exhausting a defense that would other wise be dominating the game. There are too many positives to give up on that Super Bowl dream we all hold near and dear to our hearts. So be as it may that the Cowboys are at a crossroads already this season, do not count them out just yet. Its obvious they are making some serious moves to keep this Cinderella story

    As rumors surrounding Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant starting to heat up, many pundits believes that the Cowboys are better off without him. Having rookie QB Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott doing a great job of leading the team to 5-1 record, Cowboys game plan seems to be working without Bryant and Tony Romo on the field. Earlier reports have said that Cowboys coach Jason Garrett and offensive coordinator Scott Linehan have prepared a game plan by using the strength of their offensive line to compensate the loss of Bryant and Romo due to injury. And it looks like Prescott and Elliott are following the strategy leading them to five straight victories after their opening loss to the New York Giants.…

    The New York Mets Join Very Elite Company What do the Dallas Cowboys, New England Patriots, New York Yankees, and the New York Nicks have in common? Since one is baseball, two are football, and one is basketball, it can't be anything league related. You might be thinking about championships.

    2017 is an intriguing year for the Redskins for a multitude of reasons. Kirk Cousins now is in the midst of a long-term contract negotiation, his top two wide receivers left via free agency, the Redskins defense is coming off a historically bad season, the new defensive coordinator Greg Manusky along with the team’s new additions is having positive reviews so far this off-season, and the front office is fresh out of a messy divorce with their former general manager Scot McCloughan and made an in-house replacement with Doug Williams under a different title. All this to say, what happens in 2017 is of paramount importance, and can shape the near future of the organization. There are a few Redskins who are worth noting that will be a key cog in determining the outcome of not only the season, but how their future in the nation’s capital.…

    “Not having the starting quarterback this a big deal because they're not going to function well and running the ball but Sam Bradford is showing that he is decent but not the best but if Teddy Bridgewater was in the game he would be able to run and find the Gap store in the Lions defense.” George said. “The Vikings injuries affect the roster because Adrian Peterson and Teddy Bridgewater are their best players and they are injured.” George said. “The injuries are a big effect if they don't have their starting running back in end up starting linebacker in but they could probably get past as they find the gaps through the defensive line and linebacker core.”…

    Sitting in the confines of the Miller's Ale House in Tallahassee, I positioned myself in perfect position: on the outside seat of the long, wood bench seat in perfect view of the matchup between the undefeated Green Bay Packers -- my team -- and the San Diego Chargers. In closer proximity was my feast. Nachos piled high with cheese, sour cream, jalapenos, chicken and salsa; cheese curds, a Wisconsin favorite and a tall glass of Angry Orchard hard cider. I set my self up dressed in my old-school, long-sleeved Ray Nietzsche jersey in honor of the throwback jerseys the Pack was wearing from the 1930's and 40's. Soon kick off was upon us.…

    The Washington redskins has been a national football team since 1932. "Redskins" is a a name used originally by native Americans, and also approved by local natives. I believe the redskins name shouldn't be changed because the name gives pride and honor to the redskins tribe. Charles Krauthammer states how years ago, the word "retarded" was simply a word meaning idiotic, but was made into a derogatory term used against the disabled. So the issue is not the team name itself but the ability to change the name.…

    Alright. I'm just going to address the elephant in the room. The Packers lost Aaron Rodgers today -- possibly, for the remainder of the season -- and it just so happens a 29 year-old unsigned free-agent, who threw 16 TD's to 4 INT's last year is still looking for a team to play on. Also, he grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Loved watching the Packers as a child and idolized Brett Favre. Packer fans and Ted Thompson: let's sign Colin Kaepernick to the…

    The Buccaneers defense really has to step up against the Patriots. Injuries have really plagued the Bucs, but everyone is starting to get a little healthy now. Kwon, David, Tandy, and Ward all did not practice on Monday, but that isn't saying much right now. We will know more Tuesday and Wednesday if they will be playing or not on Thursday. If we can get them all back then our Pass defense will be more equipped to handle all of Brady's…

    On Wednesday the Carolina Panthers sent shockwaves through the NFL world when they decided to resend the franchise tag on cornerback Josh Norman making him an unrestricted free agent free to sign anywhere. Personally I think the Panthers made the right move in letting Norman walk and I think it will benefit the franchise presently and in the long run. The Panthers sent a strong message with this move showing they will not be pushed around and/or mortgage the future success of the franchise for a player that doesn't seem to have the right mindset for this organization. Especially with just one Pro bowl season and by all accounts a questionable attitude. Prior to last year's breakout season Norman, if I recall correctly he was in the doghouse with Coach Rivera and he didn't play much his first couple of seasons.…

    My membership of the bleeding green nation has been a potent influence on my life and there is not a day that goes by where I do not check the latest news. The hiring of Chip Kelly represented a bittersweet moment for me. On one hand, it represented the conclusion of one of the Eagles’ greatest coaches and leaders, Andy Reid. However, on the other hand, the idea of an ‘offensive genius’ running the team was exciting. Now, three years later, even my prejudiced eyes cannot ignore a glaring reality.…

    Carolina Panthers quarterback and reigning NFL MVP Cam Newton continues to make headlines for all the wrong reasons. After the Panthers’ much-needed 30-20 victory over the Arizona Cardinals this past Sunday, Newton threw down the gauntlet against NFL officiating crews for putting his safety in jeopardy with missed calls on questionable hits. However, Newton’s claims have already been debunked. Henceforth, he should focus on adjusting his game to mitigate the hits he does experience instead of looking for someone to blame.…
