TEAMS: Dallas Cowboys, Cleveland Browns, Denver Broncos, Houston Texans
It started in 2006, the year Dallas Cowboys Full-Back Lawrence Vickers was drafted into the NFL. Lawrence Vickers came into the NFL and played Full-Back for the Cleveland Browns. Vickers brought the full-back position the the lime light in Cleveland. He won the fans over quickly with the way he played the position, Vickers was the lead blocker and believe me, when he led people followed. In 2007 Vikers took over the Full-Back Position full time and he was the primary blocker for Jamal Lewis, with Vickers leading the way Lewis rushed for 1,304 yards that season. The Cleveland Browns acquired Running back Peyton Hillis in a trade from the Denver Broncos and Lawrence Vickers had the duty of opening holes for Hillis. Hillis only had one good year in Cleveland Rushing for 1,176 yards, it was Hillis’s only good year in the NFL.
The Cleveland Browns let Lawrence Vickers walk away in 2011 without even offering Vickers a contract. Lawrence Vickers would land on his feet in Houston playing fo...

Cowboys Roster Turned a Corner After Draft
With the draft in the bag, there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel, and the roster has turned a corner for the best. Coach Garrett has methodically jettisoned players that do not fit his philosophy, and is plugging-in his type of players.

Report: Cowboys still open to trading Mike Jenkins
According to Calvin Watkins of ESPNDallas.com, the Dallas Cowboys remain open to trading veteran cornerback Mike Jenkins, even though there were some reports that people within the organization would rather keep him.
The problem right now is that there aren’t any teams interested in acquiring Jenkins. There’s some concern about his participation in the Cowboys offseason program...
Cowboys seeking to put the ‘D’ back in Dallas
The Dallas Cowboys went into this offseason with a singular focus; improve their shaky defense. Not that their defense was all that terrible. They were the 11th ranked defense and held their opponents under 20 points in half their games. Their defense failed to show up when it counted though. Dallas’s defense allowed 30 or more points in four games and three of those came against...
Dallas Cowboys 2012 Draft Grades
6. CB Morris Claiborne A-I don’t normally like when teams with a lot of needs trade up, but the Cowboys traded up 8 spots into the top 6 in a year where the consensus was there were 6 elite prospects and they did it inexpensively, only giving up a 2nd round pick. Claiborne fills a need.81. 3-4 DE Tyrone Crawford C+This pick I didn’t like as much. When you need help at as many...
Two Former Dallas Cowboys Make List of Overpaid Players
Roy Williams: One of the worst players who made the most money (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Jerry Jones and staff have made some bad personnel moves. I think we could all accept that statement as fact. However, it might be more difficult to come to an agreement about players to whom the Cowboys have paid too much money.
A writer for Bleacher Report has a couple of ideas. Amber Lee has...
Cowboys reportedly might have Morris Claiborne return kicks
According to ProFootballWeekly.com, the Dallas Cowboys may end up having rookie cornerback Morris Claiborne return kickoffs this season, which is a big risk since it would increase his chances of getting seriously injured.
Most teams don’t have starting players return kickoffs or punts, but the Cowboys seem to feel the risk is worth it for them to have wide receiver Dez Bryant...

Dallas Cowboys 1st Round Draft Pick: ClaiBORNE Identity
"Don't get me wrong, I would walk from here to New York to get that second pick back. But I would not walk if I had to give the player back." -Jerry Jones

Draft Grades: Dallas Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys made a bold move by trading into the top 10, but they got a great deal from the Rams and have now solidified their most glaring weakness on defense.
Normally I’m critical of teams that trade up as far as the Cowboys, but only because of the price tag associated with climbing into the top 10. The Cowboys, however, were able to hang on to their 2013 1st-round...
Cowboys Focus On Defense in 2012 Draft
The Cowboys clearly had an agenda in mind going into the 2012 NFL Draft. The Cowboys finished the 2012 Draft with 5 out of 7 picks being defensive, which is something they haven’t done in almost 30 years. Thanks to the draft, it would appear that Rob Ryan’s defense is starting to take form.
They upgraded the secondary with free agent signings of Brodney Pool and Brandon Carr...

Claiborne wants to play receiver, return kicks
Drafting cornerback Morris Claiborne last week should go a long way in improving the Dallas Cowboys' poor pass defense from the past two seasons. But Claiborne could potentially help in more areas than just covering wide receivers.
The player the Cowboys openly admitted was the top defensive player on their draft board could also be used to return kicks, something he did at...
