Cowboys Are Going To Beat The Packers In A 'landslide

... Twitter: @Sports Day DFW. Former NFL linebacker Bart Scott joined The DA Show with Damon Amendolara this week to discuss the upcoming Cowboys-Packers matchup. Many pundits believe this game will be tightly contested, with the red-hot Aaron Rodgers and the Packers seemingly unstoppable offense coming to town. From former players to experts around the country, see what folks are saying about Cowboys-Packers. Bart Scott? Not so much. "The same way the Giants had a bad matchup, I'm saying Green Bay probably going to get their 'thing' handed to them pretty bad," Scott said. "(Rodgers is) going to have to be more efficient. He's not going to get as many possessions. That's the thing. When you can run the football [like the Cowboys], everything is available. The best defense is a great offense. That's why I say I think this is going to be a landslide.". "(Rodgers) can put up 24, but then I think at the same time, (the Cowboys have) shown that they can put up 34," Scott said. "Once you start running the ball, man, I'm telling you: It's like taking somebody's pride. It's like smacking somebody. ...

Cowboys Legend Roger Staubach Remembers How It Stuck

... against his Cowboys has prompted several calls this week from those wanting to discuss the “Hail Mary” origins and the connection to the Packers star. “Rodgers has such a strong arm,” Staubach said. “When Cobb got behind the defensive backs, that was really dumb.”. Staubach considers the success rate for a “Hail Mary” pass at about 10% - and much tougher to complete than it was when he hit Pearson. “The preparation to defend for the ‘Hail Mary’ is different,” Staubach notes. “Today, teams work on it. When Drew caught it, there wasn’t anybody else there.”. Pearson ran his route along the sideline and caught Staubach’s pass just inside 5-yard line, beating cornerback Nate Wright for the football before scooting into the end zone. Safety Paul Krause arrived too late from the middle of the field to break up the pass. “I pumped ...

The Cowboys’ Draft Class Is Showing

... When attrition hit, Collins’ play inside allowed the team to move Tyrone Crawford outside. He’s started 14 games and has five sacks. Tapper (101 st pick): He’s on IR with a back issue, but the team likes his size and speed, and believes he’ll factor into the pass-rush equation in 2017. Prescott, 135 th pick: You guys know. Anthony Brown, CB, 189 th pick: Injuries to Mo Claiborne and Orlando Scandrick have led to nine starts for the fast, heady Brown, who’s become an important depth piece. Kavon Frazier, SS, 212 th pick: Frazier didn’t dress until November, but his inclusion on special teams coincided with improvement in those units since Thanksgiving. Darius Jackson, RB, 216 th pick: Cut, now with Cleveland. Rico Gathers, TE, 217 th pick: A Baylor basketball player last year, Gathers has been a problem for the defense as a practice squad player. Loads of potential. It doesn’t take Ron Wolf to see the implication here. “Obviously the fans are fired up about ...

Packers Cb Damarious Randall Added To Injury Report For Cowboys Game

... together a secondary all season, and they have another problem to deal with in advance of tomorrow’s Divisional Round game with the Cowboys. The team announced that cornerback  Damarious Randall had been added to the injury report with a foot injury, and will be listed as questionable. Randall has struggled with injuries all season, and was questionable last week with a knee injury. With Quentin Rollins out with a concussion, they’re again short-handed at corner, as they have been all year with Sam Shields on injured reserve, along with Demetri Goodson and Makinton Dorleant. That’s probably going to push safety Micah Hyde into a more prominent role in the slot.

How Cowboys Went From Lovable Losers To America’s Team For The Right Reasons

... the first time , and had been the first season Los Angeles was without a pro football team since the end of WWII. Accordingly, Orlando Scandrick, Jason Witten, Brandon Carr, Sean Lee and a handful of others are at that point in their lives and careers to know to appreciate the rarity of this next game. “I know to cherish every game now,” said Scandrick, who missed all of last season with a torn ACL. And we as Cowboys followers all know by now not to take Sunday for granted. “It’s special; you have to appreciate everything. When I was young I didn’t know that,” said linebacker Justin Durant, who signed with the Cowboys in July 2016, just before he was going to retire. “When I came back here I expected something special.”. Uhhh. why. The team may carry the brand-name power of the “Dallas Cowboys,” but fans of the Arizona Cardinals are more familiar with the Super Bowl than an entire generation of Cowboys fans. The only teams not to appear in an NFC title game since January 1996 are the Detroit Lions, Washington Redskins and our Dallas Cowboys. Somewhere in the great beyond Tom Landry and Tex Schramm are ordering a double over this development. The ...

Is This The Year The Cowboys Finally Have An Actual Home-field Advantage

... Texas Stadium. Now, the Cowboys potentially have just two home playoff games — including Sunday’s against the Green Bay Packers — standing between them and their first Super Bowl since 1996. And fans hope this surprising season, led by rookie sensations Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott, could mark the end of their strange struggles in Arlington. “Before this year, I couldn’t explain why they were mediocre or worse at home,” said George Dunham, co-host with Craig Miller of the morning show on KTCK-AM (1310). “It didn’t really make much sense.”.

3 Reasons Why The Cowboys Will Beat The Packers

... Packers’ biggest weakness has been their passing defense. As a team, they’ve given up an average of 270 passing yards per game. The Packers’ number one cornerback Sam Shields was placed on injured reserve with a concussion and Quinton Rollins is battling a neck issue. I don’t expect the Cowboys to air it out much, but if they need to, it shouldn’t be tough sledding for Dak Prescott. Dez Bryant will be able to win on the outside, but the biggest mismatch should be between Cole Beasley and safety Micah Hyde, who will be given the task of covering Beasley. One of the bigger mismatches the Cowboys will need to exploit is Cole Beasley vs Micah Hyde: __link__/XTc N 4 Nx SXP. — Marcus Mosher (@Marcus_Mosher) January 13, 2017. Beasley is going to see a lot of single coverage, and due to injuries, Hyde will be forced to man-up versus Beasley. Beasley caught two touchdowns in the first meeting and I expect to see a lot of No. 11 on Sunday. The Cowboys were the third-best team in the red zone. Dallas’ game-plan isn’t hard to predict. They want to control the clock with their running game, create splash plays in the passing game and finish ...

3-year-old Cowboys Fan Is All Heart

... Two more open heart surgeries would follow, the most recent this past year. But that half a heart, three surgeries later, is pretty dang full. And it has Cowboys fever. There's absolutely nothing wrong with his 3-year-old brain. Ask him and he’ll tell you the jersey numbers of Zeke Elliott, Tony Romo, Jason Witten, Dez Bryant, and his favorite - Dak Prescott. "Why do you like the Cowboys so much?” I asked him. “Because. Because they’re all good,” he said. "He's definitely a little Cowboy in training,” his mom said. The rest of his training happens in the living room. Wearing an older brother’s football helmet, he and his dad run plays in the living room – with Jayden taking turns being Dak, Dez, and Zeke. "We are so thankful to be his parents and to be able to go through this journey with him, and to see the fight in him, and to be able to fight for him,” Laci said. Jayden's long-term prognosis is good, but he will probably never be able to play football for real. So in his living room, he's living his Cowboys dream. As ...

Like every kicker, Bailey dreams of drilling winning kick after winning kick in what the Cowboys hope is an extended playoff run. “It’s exciting. It’s hard to get here,” Bailey said. “This is my second time. But it’s funny because there’s this mentality – at least with my position – that kicks are more important in the playoffs. Maybe you could make an argument that they are. “But, to me, the ones that you made that got you to the playoffs were ...
