The Cowboys are considering having at least a portion of training camp in Oxnard, Calif., this summer. Camp will open in San Antonio and they will be there for at least two weeks, which is just fine with the people that run the Alamodome. In a lot of ways, the Alamodome is a great place to run training camp. The climate-controlled atmosphere means more work can be done on the field and keep the players...
Dallas Cowboys offensive left tackle Flozell Adams has rightfully been criticized on his penchant for false starts. Adams had six false-start penalties last season, ranking among the league's top five in the category for the third consecutive seasons. Adams has 24 false-start penalties in 48 games during the last three regular seasons. Marc Colombo, who mans the right side, has had the same problem at nearly the same rate. He has 20 false-start penalties in... February 18, 2010
The DMN's Todd Archer answered your Cowboys questions Wednesday. Here are some highlights ... On the need, or not, of drafting a wide receiver: I didn't really say they needed to draft one, but I would take one. I love Gilyard. He's kind of small and didn't practice that well at the Senior Bowl but he was much better in the games. You mentioned the return stuff, too, so that's an option there. He's not...
The DMN's Todd Archer answered your Cowboys questions Wednesday. Here are some highlights ... On how receiver Kevin Ogletree went undrafted: He didn't put up the best of numbers at Virginia. He got hurt his junior year, which is the biggest year for a lot of NFL teams. He didn't have much quarterback help either. This is one where John Garrett should get at least some credit. I know the scouts liked him, but Garrett...
The DMN's Gerry Fraley answered your Cowboys questions Thursday. Here are some highlights ... On what he thinks the Cowboys will do with their first-round draft choice (27th overall): The first step is to use it rather than trade down. I understand how trading down helps on the salary cap, but it also brings a lesser talent. At the start of the off-season, it seemed the Cowboys needed to go with an offensive lineman such...
The NFL has compiled its list of players scheduled to become unrestricted free agents on March 5. Of the 235 players on the list, only one of them plays for the Cowboys. Can you guess who it is? I didn't think so. It's offensive lineman Montrae Holland....
Joe DeCamillis won't join the Cowboys coaching staff at the NFL scouting combine as he seeks to alleviate the persistent pain in his neck and back. DeCamillis has flown to Atlanta for a consultation with the Shepherd Center, one of the top rehabilitation hospitals in the country for patients with spinal injuries. The special teams coach anticipates his program will begin next week when the staff is scheduled to leave for Indianapolis. "It might be...
Could the Cowboys be heading back to Oxnard, Calif., for training camp? According to sources, the team has had discussions with city officials about having at least a portion of camp there this summer. The Ventura County Star was the first to report the talks. The Cowboys declined comment Thursday. The Cowboys practiced in Oxnard in 2008 because of a scheduling conflict at the Alamodome. Owner and general manager Jerry Jones said then he would...
I need to correct something from my chat Wednesday. The Cowboys can sign one free agent for a first-year salary of $5.5 million or more because they finished in the final eight in 2009 and as many free agents as they would like at $3.7 million. I said $5.5 million or less on the chat. For all of your CBA questions, go to www.nfllabor.com. The stuff can be pretty confusing. And another confusing aspect of...
Pro Bowl linebacker DeMarcus Ware had his foot surgery Thursday, but he wasn't the only Cowboy to go under the knife. Alan Ball and Duke Preston had minor surgeries on their ankles but neither is expected to need a prolonged recovery time. Ball, started three games last year at free safety with Ken Hamlin out with a high ankle sprain. He finished the year with 19 tackles, a tackle for a loss and four pass...
A Dallas Cowboys fan believes TSA screeners pulled her out of security line for additional searches at Philadelphia International Airport because of her Cowboys jersey, a CBS local television station reported. Alyson Galen was headed to board a flight to Florida on January 15 when, before she even got to the metal detector, she was ordered by a TSA screener to get out of line, WBTV3 reported. "My husband said to me 'did you beep?'...

Georgia Tech's Jonathan Dwyer is hoping to keep a streak of sorts intact in April for the Michael Johnson Performance Center. Over the last two years, the center has trained the first running backs taken off the board in Darren McFadden and Knowshon Moreno. Dwyer has a case, but Clemson's C.J. Spiller might be the favorite going into the NFL Scouting Combine. Dwyer had 1,395 yards and 14 touchdowns last season, which were better numbers...
As Todd Archer pointed out earlier this month, the Dallas Cowboys' coaching staff is considering ways to get more points out of yardage. The defense should be included in the discussion. The Cowboys' offense last season suffered from terrible field position. The average starting point was the 27.6, third-lowest in the league. Minnesota had the best average starting point, the 32.5. The Cowboys' offense also rarely worked with a short field. The Cowboys had only... February 17, 2010
Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has stated his interest in staging a regular season or playoff game at Cowboys Stadium. The Cowboys return that interest. "We would love to explore that,'' said Stephen Jones, the Cowboys chief operating officer. In the wake of the record crowd for the NBA All-Star Game, Cuban told reporters he would like to look into playing an occasional Mavericks game at the stadium if he could make the economics work, but... |
