Join Jeff Cavanaugh and Jesse Holley as we preview the Cowboys hosting the Detroit Lions tomorrow evening. We'll give you the reasons that the Cowboys are going to get back on track this week plus conversations on: - Tyron Smith and his availability. It sounds like he will be a go, is that the right decision? Dak Prescott's rumored contract extension. Cowboys defensive struggles of the last month....

There are a couple of ways I like to measure how good an NFL team is at any given point and I'd like to walk you through them. What we have here is evidence that the Dallas Cowboys are absolutely good enough to win a Super Bowl. You know this is coming though. BUT..... Their biggest challenge is something we'll navigate through here. Plus a preview of Cowboys-Commanders tomorrow. Washington is not...

Let's run through the latest batch of Cowboys news: Micah Parsons was frustrated by his 'lack of impact' against the Giants and DC Dan Quinn had to address it this week. We've now heard from Micah and we're gonna be ok everybody. Mike McCarthy is being asked if Rico Dowdle should get more carries and I have thoughts. Plus they signed a new defensive tackle! What you need to know about Carl Davis.

Martavis Bryant is making his NFL return after being reinstated recently. And guess who is swooping in to make them move? Of course it's the Dallas Cowboys! Let's talk about the why and what to expect. And then we ended up with a mailbag whirlwind talking about Terence Steele, Tony Pollard and the running game, Mazi Smith and Luke Schoonmaker and all the other topics of the Cowboys day.

Jeff Cavanaugh and Jesse Holley previewing the Cowboys and Eagles this Sunday. A big day for the Cowboys offensive line vs Jalen Carter, Josh Sweat, Haason Reddick and company. Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb vs an Eagles secondary that has had it's struggles this year. Dan Quinn, Micah Parsons and friends will have their hands full both schematically and with some of their matchups. How does it play...

42-10 against the 49ers leads to the first legitimate Dak Prescott discussion in a long time. Can this thing ultimately work? In a league with the superhero QBs and the genius offensive minds, can Mike McCarthy and Dak Prescott really expect to win the whole thing? And if not....... CeeDee Lamb is frustrated and he SHOULD be. The numbers tell you that he needs to be targeted way more than he has b...

Thanks to everyone for helping with the Dallas Cowboys mailbag today. Let me hit you with some thoughts about the Cowboys in the red zone and why we don't need to worry about it. The abilities of Tony Pollard, Rico Dowdle, Deuce Vaughn as goal line dudes. Will we see a playmaking Michael Gallup again? Tyler Smith timetable and how much it'll help. + More

The Cowboys smoked the Jets 30-10 and appear to be the best team in the NFL as of today. Let's talk about all the things we're learning including.... Micah Parsons, best player in football? Dak Prescott and the underrated kickass offense. CeeDee Lamb and efficiency. A defense through two weeks that looks pretty historic.

I've got a few nuggets on a handful of Dallas Cowboys players after the dismantling of the Giants on Sunday. How good was Tyron Smith in the season debut? I've got a stat that will tell you. Tony Pollard on his return from injury? Same thing. Dak Prescott didn't need to do a whole lot but based on what we did see, be encouraged. Plus the Cowboys probably have the best cornerback group in the NFL w...

A few things I've learned while taking in Cowboys vs Seahawks in week two of the preseason. We need to check our expectations for Mazi Smith Feel free to ramp them up for Jalen Tolbert Confident clarity in the Cowboys RB room Rookie class may underwhelm Offensive Line depth DeMarvion Overshown injury

A few quick takeaways from Cowboys vs Jaguars yesterday including: I don't need to see anything else from Deuce Vaughn. That's an NFL player, and not just an on the roster guy. He's a get him the ball guy. Jake Ferguson may well slide right in to the Dalton Schultz shoes. Jalen Tolbert, as advertised. Mazi Smith has work to do.

Got a few questions from the people to answer plus some thoughts on the Zack Martin situation, Cowboys biggest offensive challenge to address, the RB group behind Tony Pollard + your live questions

Let's have a chat about the things happening at Cowboys camp that matter and the things that don't. Things that do: Brandin Cooks Duece getting loose Health (Schoonmaker, Izzy, Donovan Wilson) Offensive line approach Things that don't: Come on in I'll tell ya.

Jon Machota on The Athletic released his yearly Cowboys fan survey. Let's go through a bunch of topics including: Who I'd like to see get contract extensions Who will win the NFC East The Cowboys offseason grade Position of biggest concern Dak Prescott's rank amongst NFL QBs

Which young Dallas Cowboys player taking a jump in development would be the best for the teams chances at a Super Bowl? We've got 3 candidates to run by you. The chase for the 4th WR spot is on and we'll talk about Simi Fehoko and Jalen Tolbert. Plus how Brandin Cooks helps with both. And just a quick little something on DeAndre Hopkins and why I still want the Cowboys to do it, even knowing they...

I'd like to ponder the question of if the Cowboys have overreacted to a single playoff game to SF in this offseason. And if they did, did they view it in the right way? Let's compare Kellen Moore and Brian Schottenheimer as offensive coordinators, discuss Mike McCarthy the playcaller and the likelihood of a backwards slide for Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys offense. Also a look at the basic r...

In today's edition of Bleav in Cowboys, Jeff Cavanaugh and former Cowboys WR Jesse Holley cover the only three things that matter today. Micah Parsons putting on some weight and announcing he's a full time defensive end. Love it. AJ Brown firing shots at CeeDee Lamb that aren't even accurate. What this draft class tells us about Dan Quinn.

Happy draft week! Let’s chat about the Cowboys and where I might have screwed up my mock drafts. This offensive line needs some reinforcements and it makes for an interesting conundrum. I want a WR, a TE, an OL, a LB and a DT. And I can't have them all. Let's try to sort it out.

This is my last run at trying to predict what the Cowboys are thinking and what they'll do in the 2023 NFL Draft. I'll also follow it up with one last crack at how I personally would draft things so we can have fun twice. Will Bijan Robinson be available and if so will the Cowboys take him? How about Michael Mayer? Which positions do they want to target in the first 3-4 rounds? Let's go through an...

I'm going to give you the three players I think have the best chance of hearing their names called as the Cowboys first round pick at #26. I'll also sneak in the three guys that I WANT to hear them pick in the first and take some questions.  

I did a little research project and it led me to the conclusion I do NOT want the Cowboys to take Michael Mayer out of Notre Dame in the first round of the draft. For once I actually have evidence I'm going to bring to the table! The Cowboys could use a tight end to add. It's a nice draft class to do it in. Michael Mayer at the 26th pick just isn't the one.

Todd McShay released his ranking of NFL Draft prospects for the 2023 NFL Draft via the tier system. I really enjoyed looking at it that way. So I've converted my grading in to a similar way to view the Cowboys process that I'd like to share with you all. Scenarios for the Cowboys to stay put and pick, plus what would lead you to want to trade up or down. It's all right there in your rankings and p...

Let's do 500 Cowboys mock drafts and talk about what they need, what they should do, what they will do, and all that jazz. Come on in and let's do some mocking.
