There has been much debate over the last several weeks since the firing of Dick Jauron about a "big name coach" coming in and returning Buffalo to the promise land. You and I have heard everything from Mike Shanahan to Mike Holmgren to Bill Cowher to Jon Gruden. Of course, now the latest rumor is Charlie Weiss who was recently fired from Notre Dame.
Regardless of who goes there, if anyone, there will need to be big changes made and they will not come fast. Whomever the [...]

The Redskins and Cowboys have feuded with each other just like the real settlers and indians of the 1800s.
Also, like their predecessors, they have been strong and have won major victories. The Redskins have three Super Bowls to go along with their two NFL Championships and Dallas' five Super Bowls.
However, to my great delight *wink wink*, the Redskins have struggled greatly due to an owner who makes Al Davis look not half bad and a general manager that neglects key positions along the team.
The Redskins have had a repugnant offense this season. Before the Cowboys game, they had 140 points over nine games. That's [...]

Not only did the Cowboys lose to the Packers this past Sunday, but they lost some players as well.
Starting right tackle, Marc Columbo, is most likely out for the season with a broken fibula on his left leg after severe contact with a Packer defender.
Columbo, up to that point, had not missed a start for the Cowboys and really was playing great. Last year, Dr. Z, the well-respected Sports Illustrated writer put Marc Columbo on his All-Pro team.
Columbo was recently signed to a long extension and he is obviously very upset with the setback.
After Columbo was lost, Dallas proceeded to allow a season high five [...]

I repeat: Roy Williams is not a bust!
Anyone who watched the Dallas Cowboys game on Sunday would see that Roy Williams is far from a bust, but rather an outstanding quality receiver.
He has not had a great year. He has 19 receptions for 324 yards and two touchdowns. He is the guy you don't want on your fantasy team, but he is the guy I want on our Cowboys roster.
Passing is all about timing. If you don't have it, you work on it and it takes time to get it right.
The Romo to Williams passing combination has not been as explosive as the Romo to Owens combination that just lit up the [...]

If you are a real passionate fan that loves the Dallas Cowboys as much as I do, you will understand the emotions I had going through that game.
I see the low scoring numbers, and I'm wondering when is the bomb going to go off? It never happened. It felt like Super Bowl XLII where you are constantly wondering when the Patriots offense was going to finally click and destroy the Giants like they had done to every team before that game.
Dallas has never been able to keep a lead that close safe. Not to a great team anyway. They are either ahead by two or more scores or they are driving trying to win the game in the fourth [...]

One thing I learned very quickly when I was a writer was that I may not have the answers. Because I am a human being, I am capable of error, so it never hurts to have a second opinion.
This is where Robert Allred comes in. I met Robert through are common love for the Dallas Cowboys, and he is a writer whose work I definitely would pay to read.
I was up a few nights ago, and I thought, 'Why not ask him for a second opinion?' So, I emailed him immediately with a few questions, and the results are in.
The paragraphs in bold are the questions, the paragraphs in italicized print are Robert's answers, and my own answers are in regular print.
Without further adieu, here is the [...]

There was a section on MSN.com about Roy Williams possibly being another Terrell Owens which we can all sum up in a few words like selfish, whiny, and destructive.
The quotes given were taken from a direct article by Tom Orsborn on mysanantonio.com
Roy Williams said, "I'm the No. 1 receiver, but things are just going No. 2's way.”
Immediately, one could think that he is complaining about the ball not being thrown to him, but that isn't the case here.
This rumor here needs to be blown into tiny little pieces before ESPN starts acting [...]

Dallas followed up their dominating performance over the Falcons with a duplication against the Seattle Seahawks.
Dallas again, won on all three parts of the game. They were playmakers on offense, smothering on defense, and the special teams was once again, the smoking gun to end the game.
Patrick Crayton followed a 74 yard punt return last week with an 82 yard punt return against Seattle that was the signal that the game was over.
The main question that I have is: "Are you guys going to keep this up?"
Being a passionate and attentive [...]

After the Dallas Cowboys won the Falcons game, my good friend and fellow NFL fan voice, Dan Parzych, messaged me this: "I must say....that was one impressive victory for your Boys today. I'd say big, BIG statement game."
This was a big statement game yes, but did it surprise me? No, it did not.
The Dallas Cowboys were under a lot of pressure. They were a 4-2 team that looked like it was hanging on by the skin of their teeth instead of the dominant team that they were in 2007 or the team that looked great at times in [...]

The Dallas Cowboys have really come off to a slow start this year. If you could cut out some of their mistakes, they would be 5-0 instead of 3-2.
However, we cannot change the past, but we can learn from it.
What did Dallas learn from its past?
First off, they signed Allen Rossum, the 49ers punt and kick returner, to help improve plays on special teams. With Patrick Crayton muffing punts, and Terence Newman being injury-prone, the Cowboys needed a genuine return man to help in that third part of the game.
Helpful additions are only part of the equation. Dallas needs to be able to correct the flaws it makes with [...]
