Ferguson, Kneeland did not practice Wednesday :: Nick Harris
Saints alter schedule as Hurricane Francine arrives, but continue preparation for Cowboys :: Dallas Morning News
The Saints are having their prep week upended by Hurricane Francine, which made landfall in southeast Louisiana Wednesday evening. The day’s practice session was moved up, afternoon meetings were called off, and several coaches then bunked in for the night at team headquarters. New Orleans head coach Dennis Allen said the club was hoping to be able to return to its normal schedule on Thursday if the city averted significant damage. The weather, said linebacker Demario Davis, “can’t be an excuse for you not to do your job, but it can be something that can bring you together to build more chemistry, more camaraderie.”
Updates: Micah’s bold Overshown prediction :: The Mothership
Parsons wasn’t shy about giving Overshown his flowers for the sack on Deshaun Watson that had Cowboys Nation buzzing. “I was like, bro, you got people think you faster than me now,” Parsons said. And the two-time first-team All-Pro is already predicting that the Texas youngster will soon be following in his footsteps: “He’s one of the most exciting players that I’ve seen. That no one’s ever got to see. I think he’s going to be an All-Pro player.”
Former top Cowboys draft pick needs breakout game in worst way to justify strong camp buzz :: Cowboys WIre
Jalen Tolbert was a training camp darling, expected to break out in this, his third pro season. He caught just one ball in the season opener, though, same as Jalen Brooks. His numbers should climb and present more opportunities, but he’ll want to make the most of every target so as not to become part of a larger, muddled rotation at the WR3 position.
Analyzing Cowboys snap counts: RB by committee approach was solid, LBs were everywhere :: The Athletic
Terence Steele and rookie Tyler Guyton were the only Cowboys- offense or defense- to play 100% of their unit’s snaps in Week 1. Dak Prescott, Tyler Smith, Cooper Beebe, and Zack Martin played all but one. Donovan Wilson, Malik Hooker, and Trevon Diggs led the defense with 72 snaps on the day.
One thing we learned about each team in Week 1 of 2024 NFL season: Cowboys, Lions register as NFC heavyweights :: CBS Sports
It was just one game, but the Cowboys’ Super Bowl aspirations seem justified after their beatdown of the Browns. Dak Prescott still has big-game hurdles to prove he can clear, but that Mike Zimmer defense looked downright nasty.
Cowboys draw Tom Brady for booth duty in Week 2 vs Saints, Week 3 vs Ravens :: Cowboys Wire
Brady will get two more weeks with the Cowboys to clean up what many felt was an awkward broadcast debut last Sunday in Cleveland. The good news is, he’ll be able to concentrate his study on the Saints this week and the Ravens next week, as he’d already spent the offseason prepping to cover Dallas. Cowboys fans hope their paths will cross again when Fox airs Super Bowl LIX.
Former NFL quarterback Tony Romo reveals his favorite celebration with the Dallas Cowboys :: Fort Worth Star-Telegram
Speaking with pro golfer Bryson DeChambeau, the former Cowboys gunslinger recalled the team’s January 2015 playoff game versus Detroit when discussing his favorite celebration. “I threw a touchdown to Terrance Williams in the back of the end zone late in the game and I just remember, like, because I threw it, and I’m down on the ground, and I’m just right there, and I’m just, like, hitting the ground, and I’m just sitting there, and it’s just you thinking about your whole career, your life, everything, and family, everyone who’s been a part of it. It was just a cool moment,” he said. The moment was captured in the now-famous photo of Romo lying face-down on the AT&T Stadium turf, arms outstretched in victory.
‘Winners write history’: Inside Robert Kraft’s 12-year Hall of Fame quest :: ESPN
In a longform piece outlining Kraft’s frustration with not being in the Hall of Fame yet, the Patriots owner takes a shot at Cowboys boss Jerry Jones, whose 2017 induction Kraft reportedly saw as an insult. “He hasn’t been to the NFC title game in two decades and he gets in?” Kraft told a confidant at the time. “How does that work?” One longtime Hall voter said Jones’s election “changed the landscape for some of these owners and made the lobbying even more aggressive.” But scandals like Spygate, Deflategate, and Kraft’s 2019 massage parlor charges still hang over his head for some voters.
