NFL Training Camp: Dallas Cowboys Offensive Preview

A year from today, Gavin Escobar will be appearing on national television shows to preview Cowboys Camp, and will be considered a matchup nightmare across the NFL. His value won't be exclusively in production, but in his ability to transform the Cowboys offense into a dynamic attack. Jason Garrett is an adept schemer that has learned from some of the brightest minds in football. While he won't be responsible for play calling, he will be integral to preparing the offense for each opponent.

by Chad Jones



Over the past 2 NFL Seasons, the salary cap has been relatively flat at 123 Million. Teams are anxiously awaiting the kick-in of new television money in 2015, which will allow the cap to rise significantly over the remainder of the current CBA. Let's take a look at NFC East Cap concerns for 2014.

NFL: The Shrinking Middle Class

Agents, Executives & Veterans are quietly discussing the shrinking middle class in the NFL. Elite players still land lucrative deals, but $ 3-4 million per year players are endangered species. 

Accumulating Talent comes from two markets- The Draft (Wholesale) & Free Agency (Retail).

General Managers have stopped looking at what position money is spent, focusing on accumulating elite players. The draft is used to supplement, where under the rookie wage scale, talent is landed on 4 year affordable contracts. At the drafts conclusion, GMs assert each selection was the highest ranked player on their board. In reality, managing a salary cap requires a deviation from this approach, albeit marginally.

Entering the offseason $ 25 Million over the salary cap, contract restructuring was critical. Transitioning to a 4-3 Under Defense, comprehensively addressing the cap dilemma was the preeminent concern. 

Taking a broad overview, the major cap figures consisted of predominantly guaranteed money. Cuts wouldn't open cap room, but rather would result in predominantly Dead Money. 

The Day I Stopped Being a Cowboy Fan

Let me be honest. I will more than likely be back on the Cowboys bandwagon by the time the season starts, but today the Romo extension has me disgusted.

Dallas Cowboys fire defensive coordinator Rob Ryan; "I'll be out of work for like five minutes."

Dallas, TX - Jerry Jones promised big changes during the offseason and it seems the first shoe has dropped. Cowboys release defensive coordinator Rob Ryan after two years on a three year deal.

Ryan was quoted on ESPNDallas.com, "I inherited a team that was 31st in the league in defense and made them better. I f***ing made them a hell of a lot better. I'll be out of work for like 5 minutes."

The Dallas defense was the injured list for most of this season. Ryan rarely had the chance to coach his starters at all. Most of the time is was collection of players literally off the street.

Jones has also decided to part ways with the running back coach also, but fans want to know when will he hold the players accountable for another 8-8 season. Mainly, they want to know if he will finally replace Tony Romo.

Dallas Cowboys Josh Brent on the sideline for Steelers game

To the suprise of NFL fans, including Cowboy nation, Josh Brent is seen on the sideline supporting his team. Brent is currently on a $500, 000 dollar bond for intoxicated manslaughter. A charge from a drunk driving accident that killed a teammate and his "best friend" Jerry Brown.
"It's insensitive and careless" commented Boomer Eisiason on the halftime show during the broadcast of the game.
Twitter began to erupt with comments condemning the Dallas Cowboys for allowing Brent on the sidelines for the world to see. Others like myself wondering why if your Josh Brent want to be in such a public setting like a national broadcast audience. It was a blatant attempt to win over people, but bad form by both the player and the team.

Tony Romo not happy with Jason Garrett's playcalling after Atlanta loss

Dallas - The Cowboys lost to the Atlanta Falcons last night 19-13. Dallas started the game with two great drives on offense that only netted 6 points. This season quarterback Tony Romo has had to call more audibles than any other time in his career. The reason, based on a team insider, is his dislike for some of the plays head coach and offensive coordinator Jason Garrett is calling.
