Kosier out 6 weeks, Stanglass busts out the Windex
 

Published 4 days ago by Will Parchman at The Cowboy Roundup

…and here we go. Left guard Kyle Kosier could miss up to six weeks because of a sprained right foot and hairline fracture. Kosier left Texas Stadium in a walking boot. Joe Berger is the favorite to take over for Kosier. Also, wide receiver Isaiah Stanback suffered a dislocated left shoulder on a kickoff. The Cowboys will wait [...]

Trimming the fat - a brief look ’round the roster
 

Published 6 days ago by Will Parchman at The Cowboy Roundup

So Tuesday’s trim-down might not be the most glamorous of days with the first five cuts coming down the pike, but it provides the first round of meaningless predictions. Amendola, Hannah, Ball… these guys won’t be sweating it out this week, but you can typically count on a surprise or two during these couple days. [...]

Close shave with Texans proves that Cowboys close to ready

Before I start this bad boy, allow me to post up these numbers from Friday night’s game for your consumption:   T. Romo: 15/19, 166, 1-1 ratio M. Barber 13 carries, 75 yards, 1 TD N. Folk 3/3, 48, 2/2 XP If this game was the team’s dress rehearsal for the season, I’d say things are looking [...]

Hard Knocks Episode 3 Impressions & Notes
 

Published 9 days ago by Will Parchman at The Cowboy Roundup

Things have been surprisingly quiet around Cowboys camp these last few days. I apologize about the lack of updates but my internet has been on the fritz, which has considerably hampered my ability to check in on Cowboys updates. Nonetheless, like a cockroach after a nuclear holocaust, I’m still here. Pacman has a tremendous amount of [...]

Cowboys 0-2 in preseason, Johnny Cowboy fan quits
 

Published 12 days ago by Will Parchman at The Cowboy Roundup

I always love these fans that cry the sky is falling after preseason losses. After this most recent 10-point loss to Denver in Denver, I can’t help but listen to their cries and laugh. Wade and Bill Parcells’ coaching philosophies diverge in a number of ways, and preseason is one of those ways. Parcells invested [...]

Pacman and Martellus… on the road to ruin?
 

Published 16 days ago by Will Parchman at The Cowboy Roundup

…And I don’t mean the good kind. ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (CBS4) ― The Broncos and Cowboys took the field for their first joint practice Wednesday morning and it didn’t take long for the trash talking to start. Immediately after practice, Cowboys cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones was asked to compare Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall with Cowboys wideout Terrell [...]

Cowboys temper good with bad against Bolts
 

Published 19 days ago by Will Parchman at The Cowboy Roundup

The score is the way it was, sure, but Bradie James made a good point during a sideline interview. “Yeah, the score is like that, but I don’t know if they have a hundred yards of offense.” Point well made. Rich Bartel far outplayed Johnson, which was probably about as hard as… something that’s really [...]

Team Gets Resounding “Eh” in Preseason Game
 

Published 19 days ago by Brian Smith at The Cowboy Roundup

Overall, the Dallas Cowboys looked little like the world champions they are soon to be in a rather uninspiring loss, 31-17, to the San Diego Chargers last night. Yes, the defense looked sloppy, and the special teams units were abysmal–Dear Isaiah Stanback, please do not leap into large piles of men on kick returns. [...]

Haltime report: Brad Johnson is really, really bad
 

Published 20 days ago by Will Parchman at The Cowboy Roundup

Some quick thoughts on the first half of tonight’s game: Our first taste of football, and it was pretty delicious. As usual in these preseason games, there was plenty of good and bad accompanying both sides of the ball, but I don’t think you can be anything but pleased with the overall effort. In games like [...]

Hard Knocks Ep. 1: What did we learn?
 

Published 22 days ago by Will Parchman at The Cowboy Roundup

Maybe my memory’s just a little hazy on how exciting the 2002 Hard Knocks was (because it didn’t seem this good), but that was pretty cool. I had a stupid grin slapped across my face for the entire hour, knowing for sure that Redskins fans are just hating this with every ugly fiber of their [...]

Training camp breakdown: the linebackers
 

Published 24 days ago by Will Parchman at The Cowboy Roundup

It’s hard to pinpoint a real point of strength on this team because there are simply so many. The corners probably get the most publication thanks to Pacman’s hard charge for a starting spot in camp, Mike Jenkins’ flashes of sheer athletic ability and the come-uppance of UFA Evan Oglesby. Running back is another natural [...]

Figuring the roster - Defense edition
 

Published 26 days ago by Will Parchman at The Cowboy Roundup

As this years’ training camp continues on, it’s becoming clear that it’s strikingly, well, typical. No huge stories, no uber intriguing battles between fan faves and established vets — which is odd considering Hard Knocks picked this year to visit. The Amendola vs. The World, Anthony Henry vs. his own ego and Marcus Spears vs. [...]

Stock up/stock down - who’s hot, who’s not?
 

Published 29 days ago by Will Parchman at The Cowboy Roundup

Let’s check out a little list I recently found from DMN writer Calvin Watkins on players who’s stocks have been on the move at this point in training camp. Assessments are fun. Stock Up 1. Isaiah Stanback. Is improving his route running and is catching the ball. 2. Terrell Owens. Getting behind the defense and winning one-on-one battles. 3. [...]
