Dallas Cowboys Research Papers

Improved Essays
Going into the 2016 season, the Dallas Cowboys look like the NFL’s team to beat. Personally, I have to give Jerry Jones all the credit for now his team is assembled.

On offense, the Cowboys have gone with the approach that less is more on the offensive line. As we all know, teams with excellent offensive lines have a long history of losing. The 2007 Patriots were the perfect example of a team that had three Pro Bowl offensive linemen but somehow struggled to score points. The Jimmy Johnson era Cowboys had one of the best offensive lines of all time, but the team struggled to stay competitive in the early '90s.

The Cowboys have learned from their mistakes, and they have now invested nearly all of their offensive draft picks into skill position

Offensive coordinator Jason Garrett has said that he intends to only run the ball about 33 percent of the time. After all, if you have a running back like Darren McFadden that only averages 5.7 yards per carry for his career; it is an excellent idea to limit his touches as much as possible.

To top off this championship-caliber football team, the Cowboys have one of the best coaching staffs in the NFL. I don't see why Jason Garrett takes so much heat. He has a 33-15 win loss record over the past three seasons. Jason Garrett has a bright future as one of the greatest offensive minds in the game, and he will most likely be a better head coach. His extreme ability to abandon the running game is really what makes him a good play-caller.

I am aware that most of the people who watch football predicted the Cowboys to win the Super Bowl each of the last three years, but they have only won one playoff game in the past seasons. However, this year will be different. This year will be something special.

With a team that has one of the best rosters and coaching staffs in the NFL, the Dallas Cowboys have the potential to go 13-3 or 14-2 and go on to play for the Super Bowl in their own

    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.…

    Ezekiel Elliott, a natural athlete born in an athletic family, but now could be considered the best running back in the NFL, leading the NFL in most yards per carry after contact. Thanks to his offensive line, Zeke is just pure talent on the football field, if you ask any running back, fullback, quarterback, or anybody behind the offensive line before a play, they would tell you that the play would not ever succeed without those lineman protecting them. Zeke admits that that statement is true, and you could put anybody behind the cowboys offensive line, and they will do good. But Zeke is a different story, his offensive line definitely did their job and made sure that they opened the hole that should be opened for them, but what happens after…
