Return of the Most Obscure Player Award
This blog will turn seven years old next August. One feature I originally included was the Most Obscure Player Award for each season in franchise history. I made it through the 1960s but never finished the series.
This has not been an interesting offseason from my perspective, so I am going to finish the old series. To kick this off, here is a list of the first five award winners...
Players to watch at the Senior Bowl
Today is the Senior Bowl, and the Cowboys will have plenty of talent to look at, one last time in action before the NFL Combine. The Cowboys have had some luck drafting players they scouted at the Senior Bowl. In 2011, DeMarco Murray and Dwayne Harris were players we plucked from that year. And perhaps the best Senior Bowl Alumnist is DeMarcus Ware.
Can the Cowboys pluck out another...
Redskins P Sav Rocca Fined $7,875 For Facemask Tackle Against Dallas
Redskins punter Sav Rocca has been fined $7,875 for a facemask tackle made while in punt coverage against the Dallas Cowboys.
With 6:49 left in the game, Rocca punted the ball 43 yards from the Washington 27-yard line. Dallas receiver Dwayne Harris returned the punt 39 yards before Rocca as the last line of defense tackled him, grabbing his facemask and jersey to bring...
Redskins punter Saverio Rocca nearly decapitates Cowboys’ Harris
Redskins punter Saverio Roccia apparently forgot which league he was playing in on Sunday against the Cowboys.When making a tackle on Cowboys return man, Dwayne Harris, Rocca used all of his Aussie Football League experience to make the facemask/dreadlocks tackle.Although Rocca he was flagged for a 15-yard personal foul penalty, this was a smart move by Rocca because it saved...
Dez Bryant Will Delay Surgery
After seeing two doctors and both advising Dez Bryant have surgery, Dez will look to delay the surgery to his index finger. If Dez can look catch and play in practice the Cowboys will clear him to play against the Steelers. To me, I think this is going to be more as a decoy, I’m not sure he’ll be as effective obviously. That being said, I look for Dwayne Harris and Cole Beasley...

We all know that football is a team sport and that to get a win, all phases of the game must come together to propel a group to victory. But come Sunday, it’s going to be all about the quarterbacks.
When the Philadelphia Eagles face the Washington Redskins at FedEx field on Sunday afternoon...
Cowboys' special teams shows improvement
Sunday was quite an oddity for the 2012 Dallas Cowboys. For a team that has almost no success scoring points this season, they were given the gift of help from their defense and special teams. The defense has had a decent year, but almost nothing in terms of takeaways and setting up short fields, or even better, actually putting points on the board themselves.
Meanwhile, the special...

Cowboys Make Team History with Returns for Touchdowns
Dwayne Harris came up huge with a 78-yard punt return for a touchdown on Sunday.
The Dallas Cowboys may have saved their season thanks to three returns they made for touchdowns in the fourth quarter against Philadelphia. Until that fourth quarter, the Cowboys had not scored on any type of return for nearly an entire calendar year. The last touchdown on a return came against the Buffalo...
Is this how it ends for Mike Vick in Philadelphia?
A tough hit, a tough loss. Image via the Philadelphia Eagles.
With each successive loss, hope for this Philadelphia Eagles team was harder and harder to come by.
Five straight losses, the most in Andy Reid’s tenure in Philadelphia. The last time the Birds saw a win was on September 30—the non-playoff Phillies saw a win more recently than Philly’s football team.
Perhaps more...
Dallas Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles: Hero and Zero of the Game
Hero: Tony RomoThough it was Dwayne Harris who actually gave the Cowboys the lead on his 4th quarter punt return touchdown, it was Tony Romo who almost single handedly brought the momentum back to the Cowboys after the Eagles took a 17-10 lead.Up until that point Romo and the Cowboys offense had little to no success aside from their first drive of the game, and they were coming off...
Five thoughts on Cowboys' win over Eagles
Everything finally came together for the Cowboys Sunday in Philadelphia. Dallas scored touchdowns on offense, defense and special teams en route to a 38-23 victory over the Eagles.
Here are my thoughts on the Cowboys' fourth win of the season.
1.) Jason Garrett finally got the complete game effort he was seeking. The offense, defense and special teams weren't flawless by...
Win over Eagles should toughen up Cowboys
On the surface, all the Cowboys' 38-23 win Sunday proves is that they are better than the freefalling Eagles.
The Cowboys still hurt themselves with mistakes and penalties and sometimes just dumb football. But they did enough things right to win, and not by just a little.
It wasn't just about surviving the woeful Eagles, it was about surviving an entire week of turmoil...
Cowboys take down Eagles
Dallas scored big on all sides of the ball and pumped some life back into the NFC East race.

Cowboys WR Dwayne Harris goes untouched on this 78-yard Punt Return TD
Needing a big play to get back in the game Cowboys WR Dwayne Harris obliges by showing great speed getting to the outside and just blows by everyone on the field. Harris went completely untouched to the end zone and gives the Cowboys the lead late in the fourth quarter.
The Cowboys To Make Change At WR?
Week one was a long time ago Juan…
Kevin Olgetree was the darling of the fantasy world after week one. Owners had images of LoRo 2011 dancing through their heads. Too bad he hasn’t done a thing since then.
Yesterday it appeared as though he was benched in favor of Dwayne Harris, although Jason Garrett said the benching was due to a finger injury.
Cowboys insider Calvin...
Don't Wait for Waivers - Week 2
I decided to follow the maxim “better late than never” and at least give owners a little time to examine this piece and potentially add one of these names before kickoffs start in under a couple hours. I was close to kickoff of the Giants-Cowboys game last week and though I wasn’t right about the player, I was way right about the situation with the Dallas No. 3 receiver. So...
Laurent Robinson’s Impact?
If you tuned into the Giants vs. Cowboys game casual viewers heard a lot from a relative unknown. Kevin Ogletree thrived in Laurent’s old role. Catching two touchdowns, and showing he can run some f**kin’ routes. Not a surprise as I predicted a big night from whomever was there. Unfortunately, it wasn’t Dwayne Harris. My apologies only human.
Robinson will have a difficult...
Cowboys' Kevin Ogletree lights up Giants
Dallas Cowboys receiver Kevin Ogletree had caught 25 passes for 294 yards with zero touchdowns in his first thee NFL seasons. On Thursday night he had a breakout game against the defending world champion New York Giants, catching eight passes for 114 yards and two touchdowns.
The Giants secondary focused on Dez Bryant and Miles Austin, leaving the undrafted free agent out of Virginia...
Fantasy Sleepers in Giants vs. Cowboys
Dwayne Harris (Dallas Cowboys, WR)
Who can forget Laurent Robinson’s fantasy impact at the slot position last season? Owners should expect similar results from whoever takes the reigns this year. In his second season Dwayne Harris has built quite the calling card. During the St. Louis Rams game he was able to build a rapport with quarterback Tony Romo, and the results can’t be...
St. Louis Rams Have Highs and Lows, Fall to Dallas Cowboys 20-19
The roller coaster that is the St. Louis Rams’ preseason continued Saturday night, hitting another dip after losing 20-19 to the Dallas Cowboys at Cowboys Stadium.
Although the game was close on the scoreboard, the Cowboys were firmly in control throughout, despite starters Demarcus Ware, Miles Austin, Jason Witten, and Dez Bryant all missing the game. The Rams again flashed their...
