  20.  &lt;p&gt;Who are the 5 most important players on the Cowboys in your opinion?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="em59AC"&gt;There's some players that are just simply more important to a team's success than others. Would the &lt;a href="https://www.arrowheadpride.com"&gt;Kansas City Chiefs&lt;/a&gt; be as successful without Patrick Mahomes or the &lt;a href="https://www.ninersnation.com/"&gt;San Francisco 49ers&lt;/a&gt; without Christian McCaffrey? To put it simply, no.&lt;/p&gt;
  21. &lt;p id="rLJlLV"&gt;The &lt;a href="https://www.bloggingtheboys.com/"&gt;Dallas Cowboys&lt;/a&gt; may or may not have those caliber of players currently on the roster, but they do have some who are instrumental to their success in 2024. Today, we are going to identify their Top 5 most important players and rank them accordingly.&lt;/p&gt;
  22. &lt;hr class="p-entry-hr" id="6tA7E5"&gt;
  23. &lt;h3 id="UYbcZh"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;#5 - QB Dak Prescott&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  24.  &lt;figure class="e-image"&gt;
  25.        &lt;img alt="NFC Wild Card Playoffs - Green Bay Packers v Dallas Cowboys" data-mask-text="false" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/mcGIAcbGOgjAFlYqvzGwJ6dCxnY=/400x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25457229/1940061685.jpg"&gt;

  27.  &lt;/figure&gt;
  28. &lt;p id="QNHYkd"&gt;Love him or hate him, Dak Prescott is one of the best and most consistent quarterbacks in the entire league. As such, the 2023 MVP runner-up should probably rank much higher on this list. Considering the fact the Cowboys seem willing to let him play out his current contract, and have a capable backup in Cooper Rush and possibly Trey Lance, he may not be as indispensable as he was in years past.&lt;/p&gt;
  29. &lt;p id="UHm9jV"&gt;While it's true Prescott is still one of the best and most important players currently on the Cowboys roster, it's also true there a few even more important who should be ranked higher. With a proven backup QB capable of coming in and winning games in Cooper Rush, and the intrigue surrounding Trey Lance, it would look as if Dallas is pretty well set up to survive and stay afloat is something unforeseen happened to No. 4.&lt;/p&gt;
  30. &lt;hr class="p-entry-hr" id="yjTlW0"&gt;
  31. &lt;h3 id="kFfQhy"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;#4 - OL Tyler Guyton and Cooper Beebe&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  32.  &lt;figure class="e-image"&gt;
  33.        &lt;img alt="COLLEGE FOOTBALL: SEP 23 Oklahoma at Cincinnati" data-mask-text="false" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/z6Wm0dgxvo0i7vbfJ14Wt8UGcDg=/400x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25457227/1684615118.jpg"&gt;

  35.  &lt;/figure&gt;
  36. &lt;p id="BU3Qqa"&gt;Tyler Guyton and Cooper Beebe come in a tie as the fourth most important players the Cowboys currently have on the roster. It may sound a bit odd to consider two rookies who haven't played a single meaningful down in the NFL yet as carrying such a distinction, but how they play this season could very well determine how successful, or not, the Cowboys are in 2024 given the positions they play.&lt;/p&gt;
  37. &lt;p id="nE7xLM"&gt;Offensive line play this season, more than in the past, will be instrumental to whether the Cowboys sink or swim this year and the two rookies are at the forefront of all of that. Whether it's creating holes in the running game or keeping Dak Prescott up right in pass protection, Guyton and Beebe are the key to success as the projected new starting blindside protector and center. That's a heavy weight to carry for both rookies.&lt;/p&gt;
  38. &lt;hr class="p-entry-hr" id="cdLQEL"&gt;
  39. &lt;h3 id="HVvvnL"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;#3 - DE Micah Parsons&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  40.  &lt;figure class="e-image"&gt;
  41.        &lt;img alt="NFC Wild Card Playoffs - Green Bay Packers v Dallas Cowboys" data-mask-text="false" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/NSQTOc9LYRlJHNpnGQ8AW2st7Nk=/400x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25457224/1933182554.jpg"&gt;
  42.      &lt;cite&gt;Photo by Michael Owens/Getty Images&lt;/cite&gt;
  43.  &lt;/figure&gt;
  44. &lt;p id="cV42lc"&gt;Micah Parsons is one of the best, if not the best, and most talented players in the entire league, and not just at his given position. As a pass rusher though, he pretty much stands alone with just a few others like Myles Garrett and T.J. Watt. It's one of the reasons why he's in contention every season for Defensive Player of the Year. He's also one of the best players on the Cowboys roster, especially in the defensive side of the ball.&lt;/p&gt;
  45. &lt;p id="oV66tN"&gt;Being the best and most talented though doesn't necessarily make him the most important. Micah Parsons may be one of the most feared pass rushers in the league, but he can be game-planned for by opposing offenses to lessen how impactful he is. Even if he were to miss some time due to injury Dallas could probably survive his absence. While the depth behind him isn't great, there are options capable of stepping in if/when needed.&lt;/p&gt;
  46. &lt;hr class="p-entry-hr" id="9OguOS"&gt;
  47. &lt;h3 id="e7hbF9"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;#2 -CB Trevon Diggs&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  48.  &lt;figure class="e-image"&gt;
  49.        &lt;img alt="New York Jets v Dallas Cowboys" data-mask-text="false" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/P6k3E7wMmkw4UGZXJGVHlyAQ07Y=/400x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25457219/1691166995.jpg"&gt;
  50.      &lt;cite&gt;Photo by Cooper Neill/Getty Images&lt;/cite&gt;
  51.  &lt;/figure&gt;
  52. &lt;p id="h0Wzju"&gt;Narrowly missing out on the No. 1 spot, Trevon Diggs is the second most important player for the Cowboys in 2024. The Cowboys have a lot riding on Diggs' ability to return to the player he was prior to his season-ending knee injury last season. They were fortunate last year to have Stephon Gilmore and DaRon Bland as insurance policies when he went down, but that's not the case any longer.&lt;/p&gt;
  53. &lt;p id="ZXwQz1"&gt;If No. 7 has any setbacks or takes a while to get back up to speed, the Cowboys secondary could be in bind. They may have a solid trio in Trevon Diggs, DaRon Bland, and Jourdan Lewis if all are healthy, but have a significant lack of proven depth behind them with the way the roster is currently constructed. Because of that, Diggs' health and availability for them this year could mean the difference between success or failure.&lt;/p&gt;
  54. &lt;hr class="p-entry-hr" id="yAYuqv"&gt;
  55. &lt;h3 id="smOBqK"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;#1 - WR CeeDee Lamb&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  56.  &lt;figure class="e-image"&gt;
  57.        &lt;img alt="NFC Wild Card Playoffs - Green Bay Packers v Dallas Cowboys" data-mask-text="false" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/_ueci-etYbEog6fgYx7w1nPLmjw=/400x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25457217/1933613045.jpg"&gt;
  58.      &lt;cite&gt;Photo by Michael Owens/Getty Images&lt;/cite&gt;
  59.  &lt;/figure&gt;
  60. &lt;p id="0TGFMx"&gt;Make no mistake, CeeDee Lamb comes in at #1 on this list because he is the most important player the Cowboys currently have on the roster. The offense will once again run through him, much like it did last season, and potentially even more so due to the absence of Tony Pollard. There's not another player on the entire offensive side of the ball capable of coming anywhere near being as productive or striking fear in opposing defenses as No. 88.&lt;/p&gt;
  61. &lt;p id="wtERnV"&gt;As CeeDee Lamb goes, so goes the Cowboys 2024 season. Losing him for any length of time would all but doom the Cowboys season. They simply don't have anyone who can step into his shoes to do what he does. He is going to be the focal point of the entire offense this year in not only their aerial attack, but will likely be a significant factor as an extension of the running game as well.&lt;/p&gt;

  73.    <title>Cowboys news: Trey Lance ‘at my best’ heading into QB2 battle </title>

  79.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  80.  
  81.  &lt;p&gt;Your Friday morning news surrounding the Dallas Cowboys is here.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3 id="Ntigsf"&gt;
  82. &lt;a href="https://www.dallascowboys.com/news/trey-lance-at-my-best-heading-into-qb2-battle"&gt;Trey Lance: ‘At my best’ heading into QB2 battle - Nick Harris, &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://DallasCowboys.com"&gt;DallasCowboys.com&lt;/a&gt;
  83. &lt;/h3&gt;
  84. &lt;p id="ehBuLn"&gt;Trey Lance talked about his mindset from when he was first drafted to now preparing for the QB2 competition at training camp.&lt;/p&gt;
  85. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  86. &lt;p id="RIOfBf"&gt;Now with a full season under his belt to take on a new offense, Lance is gearing up for a battle at training camp that executive vice president Stephen Jones has already stated will happen in Oxnard between Lance and Cooper Rush.&lt;/p&gt;
  87. &lt;p id="FrwT8a"&gt;“My mindset hasn’t changed,” Lance said of the opportunity. “I haven’t attacked this offseason any differently. Controlling what I can control, continuing to learn the offense and building trust with these guys and the coaching staff as well.”&lt;/p&gt;
  88. &lt;p id="rs6Huz"&gt;“I’m excited. I haven’t played a snap, obviously, since last preseason. I’m just excited and looking forward to it and making sure I’m ready when that time does come.”&lt;/p&gt;
  89. &lt;p id="qhrZCc"&gt;Building confidence and trust has been the majority of what has made up the first nine months as a member of the Cowboys for Lance, as he looks to take that forward into his second chance in the league.&lt;/p&gt;
  90. &lt;p id="NipQSq"&gt;“[My confidence] is much higher than it was when I got into the NFL, for sure,” he said. “I kind of didn’t know what to expect. I think that’s probably most rookies, if not all of them at one point or another throughout that first year. I feel great about where I’m at. Continuing to get better, continuing to learn and continuing to be a better quarterback.”&lt;/p&gt;
  91. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  92. &lt;h3 id="FQDqPs"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/nfls_10_hottest_head_coaching_seats_entering_2024_season/s1_13132_40396186"&gt;NFL’s 10 hottest head-coaching seats entering 2024 season - Eric Smithling, Yardbarker&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  93. &lt;p id="ZWer8O"&gt;Mike McCarthy is forever on the hot seat. &lt;/p&gt;
  94. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  95. &lt;p id="adScfN"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Mike McCarthy | &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.bloggingtheboys.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dallas Cowboys&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  96. &lt;p id="nwe0pR"&gt;McCarthy is coaching for his job in 2024. The &lt;a href="https://www.sbnation.com/super-bowl"&gt;Super Bowl&lt;/a&gt; XLV-winning coach of the &lt;a href="https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/"&gt;Packers&lt;/a&gt;, entering his fifth season with the Cowboys, is in the final year of his contract. It’s difficult to envision him receiving an extension if Dallas comes up short in the postseason again under his watch.&lt;/p&gt;
  97. &lt;p id="MpIXmx"&gt;Since his hiring in 2020, the Cowboys are 42-25, &lt;a href="https://stathead.com/football/team-season-finder.cgi?request=1&amp;amp;match=team_season_combined&amp;amp;year_min=2020"&gt;tied for the league’s fifth-best record&lt;/a&gt; during that span. However, Dallas is 1-3 in the playoffs.&lt;/p&gt;
  98. &lt;p id="P3UPjy"&gt;Former Patriots head coach Bill Belichick &lt;a href="https://www.statesman.com/story/sports/nfl/2024/04/19/bill-belichick-cowboys-jerry-jones-espn-reports-nfl/73383236007/"&gt;was recently linked&lt;/a&gt; to the Cowboys. Should McCarthy falter, Jerry Jones shouldn’t waste a minute putting the 72-year-old back to work.&lt;/p&gt;
  99. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  100. &lt;h3 id="tXnDbG"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.si.com/nfl/cowboys/news/brandin-cooks-chemistry-dallas-cowboys-otas"&gt;Brandin Cooks admits to slow start with Dak Prescott last year, vows to ‘make a lot more plays’ - Josh Sanches, Sports Illustrated&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  101. &lt;p id="P67L1g"&gt;Brandin Cooks is looking forward to working with Dak to build on their relationship and become an even bigger playmaker in his second season with the team. &lt;/p&gt;
  102. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  103. &lt;p id="6YYAVB"&gt;Cooks spoke to the media this week and admitted that he got off to a slow start with Prescott and the Cowboys offense in 2023. However, he says he is now “ready to rock” and vows to “make a lot more plays” this season.&lt;/p&gt;
  104. &lt;p id="YldJuA"&gt;“Having a season under my belt with Dak, I started slow the first half (last) season but picked it up,” Cooks said. “I’m ready to rock.&lt;/p&gt;
  105. &lt;p id="h3XV1q"&gt;“Don’t get me wrong, I’m a leader, but at the same time, I’m a playmaker. My mindset, I just look forward to get this season going and hitting that stride like I know I’m capable of. “I’m gonna go out there and make a lot more plays than I did last year.”&lt;/p&gt;
  106. &lt;p id="MlkU2P"&gt;Throughout his career, Cooks has had six 1,000 yard seasons. He will have plenty of opportunities for production in the Cowboys offense this season, especially with CeeDee Lamb demanding a lot of the defense’s attention on the opposite side of the field.&lt;/p&gt;
  107. &lt;p id="ZkOyht"&gt;Lamb is also holding out of offseason workouts while he seeks a new contract, so Cooks and Prescott have plenty of time to continue building their chemistry leading up to the season opener against the &lt;a href="https://www.dawgsbynature.com/"&gt;Cleveland Browns&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  108. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  109. &lt;h3 id="a9rRmC"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/dak-prescott-says-ceedee-lamb-has-full-support-of-cowboys-locker-room-at-otas-amid-contract-holdout/"&gt;Dak Prescott says CeeDee Lamb has full support of Cowboys locker room at OTAs amid contract holdout - Garrett Podell, CBS Sports&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  110. &lt;p id="xXt47A"&gt;Dak Prescott understands that “business is business” when it comes to CeeDee Lamb’s absence in anticipation for a contract extension.&lt;/p&gt;
  111. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  112. &lt;p id="Uw2uhq"&gt;“Yes, I mean, that’s my guy,” Prescott said of Lamb on Wednesday at organized team activities. “Not many more people out there, more swaggier, cooler, better player, than that guy. So obviously you’re gonna miss him, miss having him around. But I’ve been in this situation, it’s business, business is business. He’s got my support and pretty much everybody in this locker room. I know locker room support and so it’s part of it. Hopefully, he’ll get all his and everything he deserves and is worth.”  &lt;/p&gt;
  113. &lt;p id="gl0m8h"&gt;Prescott acknowledged the difference between his first big contract negotiation, where Lamb is in his career, and his current negotiation for a second long-term deal. &lt;/p&gt;
  114. &lt;p id="MjOSHa"&gt;“I think it just depends,” Prescott said when asked if respect comes into play with contract negotiations. “I think it depends on personal relationships and position and how much that pay can affect others. Understanding where I am, what my pay means to a team and to an organization, I don’t really take things personally. Maybe in my first deal, maybe things were a little different than they are now. One, it’s my age and who I am, where I am in my life and I guess the fact that that first deal got done. The understanding that I have a lot of decision in this, too. I have a lot of say so, too. It’s about understanding business is business and for me, it’s controlling what I can and that’s making sure I’m the best player that I can be right now.”&lt;/p&gt;
  115. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  116. &lt;h1 id="Xy4b49"&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
  117. &lt;p id="vfukNj"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  132.    <title>Cowboys mailbag: Questions on running back, Dak’s contract and Mike McCarthy </title>

  138.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  139.  
  140.  &lt;p&gt;Our latest mailbag features plenty of questions about the Dallas Cowboys.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="MwTOps"&gt;Every week, we take questions on X (Twitter) and Facebook about &lt;a href="https://www.bloggingtheboys.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dallas Cowboys&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; players and other issues surrounding the team. So let’s get right into it with the new co-host of Cowboys Mailbag, Dana Bartholomew.&lt;/p&gt;
  141. &lt;h3 id="iOQXBw"&gt;“Are we done with the running back room additions?”&lt;/h3&gt;
  142. &lt;h4 id="AsDH47"&gt;(@Cowboysnation Germany via Facebook)&lt;/h4&gt;
  143. &lt;p id="rLoV29"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mike: &lt;/strong&gt;For now it looks like the team is done adding running backs. Training camp will be coming up and if someone goes down for a long period of time then that running back door could reopen, but it would have to be one of the key starters. Rico Dowdle in the lead role has durability concerns, so there is always a chance of injury, and if that was the case then Jerry would probably start hunting around. &lt;/p&gt;
  144. &lt;p id="DlIO4U"&gt;Other than a bad injury, this running back corps actually has a lot of depth to tinker with, especially if you add Hunter Luepke to the mix. The running backs could be effective if the coaches can figure the balance out right.&lt;/p&gt;
  145. &lt;p id="b2dWYG"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dana: &lt;/strong&gt;There is always a chance that the Cowboys’ front office finds a way to bring in another RB through free agency or trade, but for now, it looks like the RB room will be lead by Ezekiel Elliott and Rico Dowdle with Deuce Vaughn, Royce Freeman, Malik Davis, Hunter Luepke, Snoop Conner, and Nathaniel Peat all competing for reps. Mike McCarthy recently described the running game strategy this season as “&lt;a href="https://www.dallascowboys.com/news/cowboys-to-deploy-rb-by-committee-for-2024-season"&gt;RB by committee&lt;/a&gt;”. He believes that splitting the reps among multiple RB’s instead of having one bell cow will keep them fresh and ultimately more impactful throughout the long 17-game season.&lt;/p&gt;
  146. &lt;h3 id="zRNcuN"&gt;“If a deal doesn’t get done before camp with Dak, what do you see as the most likely outcome?”&lt;/h3&gt;

  148. &lt;p id="p3XhQg"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mike: &lt;/strong&gt;If a deal isn’t done before camp there shouldn’t be too much concern. Historically the Cowboys have found a way to get major contracts done in Oxnard, Zack Martin and DeMarcus Lawrence are two good examples of this. When they get to camp and the front office can sit down, watch Dak perform and talk with Todd France, then this would be the moment his contract gets extended.&lt;/p&gt;
  149. &lt;p id="icFT7Y"&gt;With nearly $60 million against the cap and two voidable years on Dak’s contract, not getting the extension done will cripple the plans to get other key players signed like CeeDee Lamb, Micah Parsons and Osa Odighizuwa.&lt;/p&gt;
  150. &lt;p id="z5uDqP"&gt;Dak wants to stay in Dallas and the front office have said numerous times they want Dak around for the future. So the panic levels are very low right now, but that could rise as we get closer to the start of the season and the job iss not done.&lt;/p&gt;

  153. &lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;Cowboys owner Jerry Jones declined today to address Dak Prescott’s contract, or that of any other specific player. “Dak has done nothing to change my mind [about] any promise for the future. …We will go as far as Dak takes us. And that’s how far we went.” &lt;a href="https://t.co/gId6MlpMs0"&gt;pic.twitter.com/gId6MlpMs0&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;— Michael Gehlken (@GehlkenNFL) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/GehlkenNFL/status/1752486584430026812?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;January 31, 2024&lt;/a&gt;

  158. &lt;p id="fVm8ub"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dana: &lt;/strong&gt;There would still be a good chance that a deal would get done before Prescott hits free agency at the end of the 2024-2025 season. When looking at the details surrounding an extension, Prescott holds all of the leverage. He currently has a no-trade clause and a no-tag clause that limits the different options this front office has: get a deal done or let Prescott hit the open market in 2025 with a $40 million plus cap hit. Even with all the leverage, it seems as though Prescott has the intention of staying in Dallas. He has been very active with the team this offseason for voluntary practices, OTAs, and even played a role in the team’s schedule announcement video alongside Jerry Jones. He has also mentioned to the media that he doesn’t need to reset the QB market with his new contract.&lt;/p&gt;

  161. &lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;Cowboys QB Dak Prescott said contract extension negotiations have not begun. But he met with team owner Jerry Jones a few weeks ago to discuss situation. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Prescott said he doesn’t want to be the highest-paid QB in the league — “necessarily.” Wants to put team in best situation. &lt;a href="https://t.co/jai9FxV7fJ"&gt;pic.twitter.com/jai9FxV7fJ&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;— Michael Gehlken (@GehlkenNFL) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/GehlkenNFL/status/1781462692462502354?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;April 19, 2024&lt;/a&gt;

  174. &lt;h3 id="GMHyTx"&gt;“If Mike McCarthy was to go after this season do you see anyone that stands out that would be the top runner for the job?”&lt;/h3&gt;
  175. &lt;h4 id="Bvpp3i"&gt;(@Sean Twaddle via Facebook)&lt;/h4&gt;
  176. &lt;p id="diZgVG"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dana: &lt;/strong&gt;If the Cowboys decide to go with experience and prestige, Bill Belichick is the big name that would make a lot of sense. His name was often mentioned as a possible replacement for McCarthy this season before Jerry Jones decided to allow McCarthy to coach out the rest of his contract. &lt;a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/bill-belichick-future-jerry-jones-dallas-cowboys-combatibility-work-together-nfl/"&gt;Jones also had high praise for Belichick&lt;/a&gt; when asked about the possibility of them working together at the &lt;a href="http://www.sbnation.com/senior-bowl"&gt;Senior Bowl&lt;/a&gt;: “There’s no doubt in my mind we could work together. None. None.”&lt;/p&gt;
  177. &lt;p id="yTJHPb"&gt;If the Cowboys want to hire from within, the top name would be Mike Zimmer who already has deep ties to the team and eight years of head coaching experience from his time in Minnesota. If he is able to improve this &lt;a href="https://www.bloggingtheboys.com/"&gt;Dallas Cowboys&lt;/a&gt; defense, especially when stopping the run, that could add a lot of value to his résumé.&lt;/p&gt;
  178. &lt;p id="Qlyj9O"&gt;Now both of those names are defensive-minded coaches and it seems as though the offensive-minded coaches are all the rage recently, and for good reason when you look at what coaches like Andy Reid and Kyle Shanahan have been able to do. If the Cowboys want to get more creative and innovative on offense, someone like Bobby Slowik (OC for the &lt;a href="https://www.battleredblog.com/"&gt;Texans&lt;/a&gt;) might be a more attractive candidate. &lt;/p&gt;
  179. &lt;p id="nunlD2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mike: &lt;/strong&gt;Dana hit the most obvious name on the head here with Bill Belichick. He’s out of work, been tied to the Cowboys in the past and would be that typical high upside stop-gap type hiring to try and plug the roster and make a success out of it. &lt;/p&gt;
  180. &lt;p id="ZeI01J"&gt;If however the Cowboys really failed this year, like a terrible six or seven win season, then going to college and bringing up a young, talented coach to begin a rebuild and reshape the organization would be a great way to go. That new coach could bring new ideas, reshape the culture in the locker room and turn everything around. The big reason why that would not happen though is Jerry’s age. Jerry wants that &lt;a href="https://www.sbnation.com/super-bowl"&gt;Super Bowl&lt;/a&gt; bad, but time is against him as he gets longer in the tooth. A guy like Belichick would be seen as the path with least resistance with that being the case.&lt;/p&gt;
  181. &lt;p id="4zxSUD"&gt;Of course there are options on the team like Mike Zimmer who has head coaching experience. Or they could opt to go for a coach who has been around the team a while and well respected like Al Harris. Either way, if Mike McCarthy works his magic and gets Dallas to the playoffs only to fall and bow straight out, then he’s out the job and a new coach is in. The clock is ticking with Jerry’s patience on this reoccurring problem.&lt;/p&gt;

  212.  &lt;p&gt;You can count Jerry Jones among those in support of an 18-game regular season.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="ForgB9"&gt;NFL owners have been gathering this week in Nashville for their spring meeting and as you can imagine a variety of topics came up both relative to the league as a whole and each owner’s individual teams. With OTAs also going on that is a lot of football-type action. It almost feels like fall! Until you step outside, of course.&lt;/p&gt;
  213. &lt;p id="YjRGcc"&gt;As things relate to the &lt;a href="https://www.bloggingtheboys.com/"&gt;Dallas Cowboys&lt;/a&gt;, Jerry Jones did not necessarily address anything to do with the team specifically, but he did have a notable comment on Wednesday that impacts all 32 franchises. The league had its schedule released last week and it obviously included all 17 games for each club. If Jerry Jones had his way the list would include 18 games. He is in support of a regular season of that length.&lt;/p&gt;

  236. &lt;/div&gt;
  237. &lt;p id="q6DenC"&gt;It has long felt inevitable that the NFL would shift to an 18-game regular season ever since they pushed play out to 17 games in a single campaign back before the 2021 season. 17 is an odd number and therefore does not allow for the same number of home and away games every year for each team (currently the conferences alternate years, Dallas has nine home games this season as an example). This is why 18 always felt like the long-term play.&lt;/p&gt;
  238. &lt;p id="QaCW9Z"&gt;To be clear that is the logic in terms of the numbers, but moving to 18 games is quite the ask of the players who have to put their bodies through the wear, tear and risk of an NFL season. Many have floated out the idea of a second bye to help in this capacity, and it seems like we may end up in a world where that is possible. The league may wind up with the &lt;a href="https://www.sbnation.com/super-bowl"&gt;Super Bowl&lt;/a&gt; being played on the Sunday before President’s Day which would establish the pseudo holiday following the game that so many people seem to want accompanying it.&lt;/p&gt;

  259.  &lt;p&gt;Where does CeeDee Lamb rank across NFL wide receivers in your mind?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="ydQTEt"&gt;The Dallas Cowboys have been one of the better offenses in the NFL for several seasons. Of course, it starts and ends with quarterback Dak Prescott, who is coming off of the best statistical season of his career in 2023. A big part in his elevation can be attributed to the continual rise of another star in Dallas, All-Pro wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. &lt;/p&gt;
  260. &lt;p id="5pgOgQ"&gt;Pro Football Focus put together a list of the &lt;a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=66960X1641855&amp;amp;xs=1&amp;amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pff.com%2Fnews%2Fnfl-pff-wide-receiver-rankings-top-32-ahead-of-the-2024-nfl-season&amp;amp;referrer=sbnation.com&amp;amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bloggingtheboys.com%2F2024%2F5%2F23%2F24161468%2Fdallas-cowboys-ceedee-lamb-4th-best-wide-receiver-pro-football-focus-justin-jefferson-tyreek-hill" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" target="_blank"&gt;top 32 wide receivers in the NFL&lt;/a&gt; going into the 2024 season. Lamb ranked as the fourth-best receiver, behind Justin Jefferson, Tyreek Hill and Ja’Marr Chase.&lt;/p&gt;
  261. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  262. &lt;p id="uRnIn6"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=66960X1641855&amp;amp;xs=1&amp;amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pff.com%2Fnfl%2Fplayers%2Fceedee-lamb%2F61570&amp;amp;referrer=sbnation.com&amp;amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bloggingtheboys.com%2F2024%2F5%2F23%2F24161468%2Fdallas-cowboys-ceedee-lamb-4th-best-wide-receiver-pro-football-focus-justin-jefferson-tyreek-hill" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CeeDee Lamb&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=66960X1641855&amp;amp;xs=1&amp;amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pff.com%2Fnfl%2Fteams%2Fdallas-cowboys%2F9&amp;amp;referrer=sbnation.com&amp;amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bloggingtheboys.com%2F2024%2F5%2F23%2F24161468%2Fdallas-cowboys-ceedee-lamb-4th-best-wide-receiver-pro-football-focus-justin-jefferson-tyreek-hill" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dallas Cowboys&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

He averaged 2.78 yards per route run and dropped only five of the 179 passes thrown his way.&lt;/p&gt;
  264. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  265. &lt;p id="YNAdtc"&gt;Lamb went into another orbit in 2023. He led the NFL in receptions with 135 (career- high, Cowboys franchise record), giving him his second consecutive year of over 100 catches. He also had his best season in terms of receiving yards (1,749) and touchdowns (12).&lt;/p&gt;
  266. &lt;p id="BSonRY"&gt;The Cowboys have the luxury of being able to move him from the outside to the slot to maximize his ability on the field, which makes it more difficult for opposing defenses to defend him. Lamb is an exceptional route runner, and he can high point the football during contested-catch situations.&lt;/p&gt;
  267. &lt;p id="F5y0Hk"&gt;Lamb has gone from mostly a slot weapon as a rookie to one of the most dynamic receivers in the game, and he's due for a major payday soon.&lt;/p&gt;

  287.  &lt;p&gt;There are still some free agents who the Dallas Cowboys could look to add.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="ONs4GX"&gt;As the weather gets warmer and the offseason grows longer, we are entering the closest thing to a dead period in the NFL calendar. Soon OTA’s and minicamps will have come and gone, with only a brief period of inactivity between us and the start of training camp.&lt;/p&gt;
  288. &lt;p id="G0MiCX"&gt;While things seem to be quieting down around the NFL, the &lt;a href="https://www.bloggingtheboys.com/"&gt;Dallas Cowboys&lt;/a&gt; seem set to get active regarding their roster construction. On Wednesday head coach Mike McCarthy met with the media and spoke about the fact the team has 86 of the allotted 90 roster spots filled, with eyes towards some more additions to round out the group.&lt;/p&gt;
  289. &lt;p id="XLY4lV"&gt;With McCarthy making their plans public, we look at four names that could help this Cowboys team fill out their roster heading into training camp.&lt;/p&gt;
  290. &lt;h2 id="2Ubqrc"&gt;Four potential free agent signings the Cowboys should make&lt;/h2&gt;
  291. &lt;p id="PiLr55"&gt;The team hasn’t been very active to this point in free agency, and that fact has been well-documented. Now as the season continues to draw closer, the Cowboys look ready to fill the remaining roster spots, and there seems to be some help still out there for them.&lt;/p&gt;
  292. &lt;h3 id="FlgS6p"&gt;WR, Mecole Hardman&lt;/h3&gt;

  296.  &lt;/figure&gt;
  297. &lt;p id="LZzE5D"&gt;This week Dallas has given a vote of confidence for Jalen Tolbert and even Jalen Brooks for the vacant WR3 role. However, they aren't far off from when they kicked the tires on veteran WR Zay Jones before he decided to sign with the &lt;a href="https://www.revengeofthebirds.com/"&gt;Arizona Cardinals&lt;/a&gt;. They may be saying the right things publicly, but privately there may be more concern than they’re leading on, and Mecole Hardman may be able to help.&lt;/p&gt;
  298. &lt;p id="RipmsG"&gt;It has been an up-and-down career for the speedster. He has seen his career path start in Kansas City followed by a brief, tumultuous stint in New York with the Jets, just to be traded back to the Chiefs where he became a &lt;a href="https://www.sbnation.com/super-bowl"&gt;Super Bowl&lt;/a&gt;-winning hero. &lt;/p&gt;
  299. &lt;p id="YIoAkP"&gt;All-in-all his on-field production as of late hasn’t been anything to write home about, finishing 2023 with 15 receptions and 124 receiving yards in the regular season. However, he is a speed guy who can stretch the field. His presence would draw the attention of the secondary freeing up space for those around him, and isn’t all that far removed from his 59 receptions 693 receiving yards, and two touchdown campaign he had in 2021.&lt;/p&gt;

  306. &lt;/div&gt;
  307. &lt;p id="pf2LPh"&gt;This isn’t that big of a needle-mover on the surface, but with the team looking for proven players to add to the competition brewing this training camp, and Hardman perhaps looking for a fresh start, coming in to compete for the WR3 spot on a cheap deal could be a perfect late-offseason signing for the Cowboys.&lt;/p&gt;
  308. &lt;h3 id="Ovk7t5"&gt;DL, Calais Campbell&lt;/h3&gt;

  313. &lt;p id="GxilHK"&gt;Signing Calais Campbell does nothing for your future as he will be turning 38 this season, but adding him to the mix will undoubtedly help your defense in 2024. Campbell is fresh off a season with the &lt;a href="https://www.thefalcoholic.com/"&gt;Atlanta Falcons&lt;/a&gt; in which he started all 17 games finishing with 6.5 sacks, 56 tackles, and 10 tackles for loss.&lt;/p&gt;

  318. &lt;script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  319.  
  320. &lt;/div&gt;
  321. &lt;p id="5MQwwD"&gt;Age is certainly a factor for the Cowboys front office in the overwhelming majority of situations, however, for a one-year rental at a position of need, Campbell may be the perfect signing for the Cowboys.&lt;/p&gt;
  322. &lt;p id="csQwc6"&gt;Some have thrown the name Linval Joseph around due to the connection with Mike Zimmer, and that too does makes sense. However, on a pure production level, with no added outside factors, Campbell being inserted into the interior of this defensive line with the pass rushers they have on the outside could be a game-changer for this defense.&lt;/p&gt;
  323. &lt;h3 id="U8bPpJ"&gt;CB, Stephon Gilmore&lt;/h3&gt;
  324.  &lt;figure class="e-image"&gt;
  325.        &lt;img alt="Detroit Lions v Dallas Cowboys" data-mask-text="false" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/9OWmufDl8QpJKr0HidvgTKZNfn4=/400x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25460081/1900166639.jpg"&gt;

  327.  &lt;/figure&gt;
  328. &lt;p id="WdTI2n"&gt;Chalk this one up as a no-brainer. Stephon Gilmore came to Dallas last year to be CB2 on the opposite side of Trevon Diggs and quickly became CB1 when they needed him to, and did so like a true pro. Gilmore isn’t the same player he was five years ago, but there is still some juice left in the tank, and adding him back in the fold would be a good idea for this Cowboys defense who could use more respected veteran presence in the locker room.&lt;/p&gt;
  329. &lt;p id="ADoFxh"&gt;Dallas had plans for Gilmore and Diggs on the outside with DaRon Bland being one of the best young CBs tormenting WRs on the inside. In 2024 if they choose to do so, they could try and run that plan back again and if so, they could very well have the best starting CBs in the NFL with some quality depth to lean on as well.&lt;/p&gt;
  330. &lt;div id="N0wooU"&gt;

  335.  
  336. &lt;/div&gt;
  337. &lt;p id="FLyEDP"&gt;Adding Gilmore brings a sense of comfort to the position. If they were to lose someone to injury they could be okay once again with him in the fold. However, without him, the room is largely unproven setting up an unsettling situation. Bring Gilmore back and secure the back end.&lt;/p&gt;
  338. &lt;h3 id="hf4RwZ"&gt;EDGE, Carl Lawson&lt;/h3&gt;
  339.  &lt;figure class="e-image"&gt;

  342.  &lt;/figure&gt;
  343. &lt;p id="aJMaOc"&gt;Carl Lawson’s career has been littered with injuries, but even back to his days at Auburn, when healthy, he has proven he is more than capable of getting after the QB. He was robbed of his season in 2023 due to injury, but in 2022 Lawson finished with seven sacks for the Jets, following 2019 and 2020 where he finished with five and five and a half respectively.&lt;/p&gt;

  351. &lt;p id="DjVyu3"&gt;Dallas has seen Dante Fowler and Dorance Armstrong leave for Washington, and while they have drafted pass-rushing help via Marshawn Kneeland, outside of Sam Williams, they lack quality backup production at the position right now.&lt;/p&gt;
  352. &lt;p id="OQ94A0"&gt;Lawson will almost assuredly be within the Cowboys price range, and with his ability being good enough to bet on, if he is brought in and is able to get on the field, Dallas’ pass rush would once again be a formidable group when paired with Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence.&lt;/p&gt;

  364.    <title>Trevon Diggs, DeMarvion Overshown 'look great' in their rehab from ACL tears  </title>

  370.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  371.  
  372.  &lt;p&gt;Getting Diggs and Overshown back is critical for the Cowboys defense in 2024.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="zEIZwR"&gt;Before the &lt;a href="https://www.bloggingtheboys.com/"&gt;Dallas Cowboys&lt;/a&gt; could get their 2023 campaign underway, they were hit with a major blow on the injury front. Rookie linebacker DeMarvion Overshown suffered a torn ACL in a preseason game for Dallas. Then, almost as soon as the season started, the Cowboys got dealt with another huge blow. All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs tore his ACL as well in Week 3.&lt;/p&gt;
  373. &lt;p id="X0584W"&gt;Head coach Mike McCarthy hit the podium for questions on Wednesday during OTAs. When asked about the progress of Diggs and Overshown, he let it be known that all is well with both players. &lt;/p&gt;
  374. &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p id="tXzYLA"&gt;“They look great,” &lt;a href="https://www.dallascowboys.com/news/mccarthy-details-latest-cowboys-injury-news"&gt;McCarthy said via the team's website&lt;/a&gt;. “It’s really staying on time with the process. Trevon, he’s out there, he’s hitting [rehab] four days a week…I know Al [Harris] is spending time with him when he’s here. [Overshown] actually looks really good. It’s respecting the timeline. If I was a doctor, which I’m not, I would say he’s a little ahead of schedule.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  375. &lt;p id="OQOoeO"&gt;Overshown hit the ground running during training camp last summer, and it continued into the preseason. The sideline-to-sideline ability and quick play recognition due to fantastic instincts were all there for the former safety-turned-linebacker. As he continues to recover, Overshown will have the luxury of getting guidance from veterans Eric Kendricks and Damien Wilson in Year 2, which will serve him well going forward. &lt;/p&gt;
  376. &lt;p id="oQnb4J"&gt;It was a huge setback for Overshown when he went down, and with him on the field, the Cowboys' defense would have been a lot stronger in 2023. If anyone is thinking that Overshown is using his injury as a reason to lower the expectations for him going forward, think again. &lt;/p&gt;
  377. &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p id="mq2n9B"&gt;"More hungry," &lt;a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/cowboys-lb-demarvion-overshown-more-hungry-after-missing-rookie-campaign"&gt;Overshown said in March&lt;/a&gt;. "All of the excitement that was built up in year one is still in there. It's ready to be unleashed on people. The glimpse that y'all got last year, you should expect 10 times more than that. This ACL injury will not be an excuse for anything going into the season at all. I'm gonna be ready to play and [fans] should expect that."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  378. &lt;p id="cNnMn6"&gt;Diggs had some struggles as a rookie in 2020. However, the former wide-receiver-turned-cornerback snagged three interceptions in the final five games, and then he went into another orbit. Diggs racked up an amazing 11 interceptions in 2021, which are the most in the NFL since 1981. His 18 interceptions since entering the league are the second-most behind free agent All-Pro safety Justin Simmons, but he's done so in 13 fewer games. &lt;/p&gt;
  379. &lt;p id="pSfub8"&gt;Diggs has proven to be the best ball-hawking cornerback in the NFL over the last several seasons. However, this is a major injury to recover from, and it usually takes around a year for an ACL tear to heal properly. Luckily for the Cowboys, they have DaRon Bland on the roster who took over outside cornerback duties for Diggs and led the league in interceptions with nine last season. &lt;/p&gt;
  380. &lt;p id="h6ki2k"&gt;Once Diggs gets back to form, the Cowboys will have the two most opportunistic cornerbacks in the game. According to Bland, it won't take long for Diggs to get back to his old self.&lt;/p&gt;
  381. &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p id="J6SQWL"&gt;“I mean, a lot of people are not expecting what Tre is gonna come back with. I know what Tre is gonna come back with. It’s going to be something dangerous. Can’t wait," &lt;a href="https://x.com/jonmachota/status/1785831856031559692"&gt;said Bland earlier this month&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  382. &lt;p id="j0Pgeo"&gt;Overshown and Diggs could be candidates to start the season on the PUP list, which would cause them to miss the first four games. However, &lt;a href="https://x.com/GehlkenNFL/status/1785830947998339089"&gt;Diggs is expected to be ready for training camp&lt;/a&gt;, and seeing as Overshown's injury happened a month earlier, that bodes well for him also.&lt;/p&gt;
  383. &lt;p id="f6U8gE"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  395.    <title>3 biggest concerns for the Dallas Cowboys heading into 2024</title>
  396.    <content type="html">  
  397.  
  398.    &lt;figure&gt;

  401.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  402.  
  403.  &lt;p&gt;The Dallas Cowboys still have plenty of work to do for the 2024 season.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="ZtqbUZ"&gt;Between now and September 8, the 2024 regular-season opener against the &lt;a href="https://www.dawgsbynature.com/"&gt;Cleveland Browns&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href="https://www.bloggingtheboys.com/"&gt;Dallas Cowboys&lt;/a&gt; still have plenty of work to do. Yes, they are returning the majority of their starters from year ago, but that doesn't mean there still aren't areas where they can improve. Today, were going to take a look at a few of those concerns.&lt;/p&gt;
  404. &lt;hr class="p-entry-hr" id="bEhv3D"&gt;
  405. &lt;h3 id="URZFEn"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mazi Smith and the lack of DT depth&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  406.  &lt;figure class="e-image"&gt;

  409.  &lt;/figure&gt;
  410. &lt;p id="ug98j5"&gt;A big concern heading into the 2024 season right now is their serious lack of depth at defensive tackle. Other than Osa Odighizuwa, they simply don't have another proven player currently on the roster along the interior of their defensive line. And banking on Mazi Smith to make a significant Year 2 jump might be nothing more than a pipe dream. Finding some significant upgrades at DT has to be a top priority.&lt;/p&gt;
  411. &lt;hr class="p-entry-hr" id="2efA15"&gt;
  412. &lt;h3 id="cNugHA"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ezekiel Elliott and the RB by committee&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  413.  &lt;figure class="e-image"&gt;
  414.        &lt;img alt="New England Patriots v Dallas Cowboys" data-mask-text="false" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/46JONuqQZvofb1_ozazBfhomfEw=/400x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25457198/1701284578.jpg"&gt;

  416.  &lt;/figure&gt;
  417. &lt;p id="mxvdoE"&gt;The Cowboys may have re-signed Ezekiel Elliott and Rico Dowdle, but even in a committee with Deuce Vaughn they may not be able to measure up to the production needed from the position. At the very least they need to be somewhat of a threat running the ball to keep defenses honest, and right now it looks as if they may fall short. Hopefully they can find an upgrade after roster cuts or the waiver wire, perhaps maybe even a trade.&lt;/p&gt;
  418. &lt;hr class="p-entry-hr" id="ZyslZm"&gt;
  419. &lt;h3 id="pXkv11"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Youth movement&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

  424. &lt;p id="AkfjrH"&gt;The Cowboys will be depending pretty heavily on some of their younger players in 2024. Two out of five of their starting offensive lineman could very well be rookies and there are several others like Sam Williams and possibly DeMarvion Overshown who could play significant roles as backups, if not starters. Fortunately the Cowboys have a core veteran group to help guide them along, however, there's still a lot riding on the youth movement.&lt;/p&gt;
