LATEST STORIES FROM THE LANDRY HAT
QUICK OUT: A LOOK AHEAD
Okay. Let me start by saying that history is without a doubt repeating itself. 2007 is happening all over again. The New York Giants, on the brink of elimination, again rose from the dead and have made a run all the way to the big dance. While this has largely been labeled a chance at redemption for the Patriots, I now fully expect the Giants to pull it out in the last few...

Views from the Loon: The Antics of Dez Bryant
Barely two weeks into the off-season and Dez Bryant made headlines – again. When the Monday morning news reports came out, they read everything from detained by police to even arrested after a physical altercation in Miami, Florida. As I always do, I go straight to my trusty Oklahoma State University message board for all things OSU. At the top of the front page was a...

Dallas Cowboys Sack Attack – Fixing the Pass Rush
In the discussion of whether which came first, the chicken or the egg or in a similar discussion of whether poor pass rush lead to poor secondary play or poor secondary play led to a poor pass rush… I’ve decided that our secondary laid a giant egg.
But.. I’ve already discussed addressing the secondary. Here’s how we can fix the pass rush:
Our 2nd best pass...

Jay shares the same frustrations as the rest of Cowboys Nation
Dallas Cowboys-related Tweet of the Week: @kupdeville816 “Just to think the Giants were in ICU and we couldn’t finish them and they were as inconsistent as the Cowboys and now NY in the bowl makes me sick”

IPCQ: Jerry Jones should play quarterback. Intro the Rail Gun offense.
I ntroduction: Yeah, you heard me. Jerry Jones needs to take the reins. For real! Obviously, he has flaws as a general manager. It’s true that he has hired scouts who are able to find talented players. That’s good, Jerry. Very good. But he has sorely neglected depth and has, in the past, passed up needs in order to attain more glamorous picks for jersey sales.
Still,...

2012 NFL Draft: Don’t be Surprised if the Cowboys select a Running Back
Predicting what the Dallas Cowboys will do in the NFL Draft is always difficult when you throw in the “wheelin’ and dealin’” of owner Jerry Jones. The only thing that is predictable is that Jones will probably be unpredictable. But the calming influence of new Head Coach Jason Garrett had more predictable effect on last year’s draft. With only one exception...

Talent On Cowboys Is Limited, So Is The ‘Fire’
First and foremost, about the 49ers – Giants game and something I wrote last week:
‘…after I watched Alex Smith’s play against the New Orleans Saints, I might be done laughing. It’s like the Wizard of Oz (in this case, Head Coach Jim Harbaugh) gave the Cowardly Lion (yes, Alex Smith) the courage he’d been missing the last 6 years. A first round QB with...

Cowboys Pick a Cornerback
WHY CAN'T YOU BE MORE LIKE ELI?!?! /DumbCowboysfan
I am not sure why I have spent the past few hours listening to readings of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven” on YouTube. Maybe I like poetry. Perhaps I share a spiritual bond with a fellow former West Pointer who walked the Long Gray Line many years before I did. Maybe the raven speaks to me as well. We, Cowboys fans, have...

Who would be a better Quarterback in Dallas: Peyton Manning or Tony Romo
For some Dallas Cowboy fans even the mere mentioning of replacing Tony Romo is sacrilege. Despite Romo having his best statistical season ever last year, if you asked the normal NFL fan who the better quarterback was, Peyton Manning or Tony Romo, most would respond Manning. So with the future Hall of Famer possibly hitting the free agent market soon, is the title question really...

Who Should Stay/Who Should Go? Anthony Spencer
In this week’s addition of Who Should Stay/Who Should Go I
will be talking about Anthony Spencer and whether or not the Cowboys should
resign the free agent. Spencer was drafted in the 1st round by the
Cowboys in the 2007 NFL Draft. Now when you look at Spencer’s numbers they are
not horrible but when you think about the fact that he is a first round pick
you tend to expect more...

Views from the Loon: Welcome to Dallas, Bill Callahan, Title Abstruse
Jerry Jones wasted no time in hiring an extra offensive mind to the coaching staff. Bill Callahan’s hiring was announced last week by the Dallas Cowboys organization, just days after the regular season ended. He replaces Hudson Houck, long time offensive line / running game coordinator. According to some reports, Callahan will claim the offensive coordinator title, while...

Will the Dallas Cowboys have a Changing of the Guard?
Why can’t our Cowboys get over the hump? Why can’t we seem to play at our best all the time? Simple answer, we lose in the trenches. As a Cowboys fan and as a former offensive lineman (from my high school days), I was stoked when I saw Tyron Smith’s phone ringing with Jason Garrett on the other line. How many times in the past week did you see on the ESPN...

IPCQ: Player Spotlight, DeMarcus Ware.
I ntroduction: Hello, I’m TV’s Seth Jones. DeMarcus Ware has been referred to as an elite defensive player in the NFL by national media who have no bias towards the Dallas Cowboys. Not only is he physically gifted with speed, power, size, and agility, but he is also committed. He shaved his head completely bald to add to his aero-dynamicity. I wouldn’t have displayed...

And Aaron Rodgers Didn’t Even Vacation In Mexico During The 1st Round Bye Week
As I watched the New York Giants handle Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers 37 – 20 yesterday – making the Packers the first #1 seed to be one and done since…well…the Dallas Cowboys in 2007 – I couldn’t help but think, perhaps, Tony Romo’s 1st round bye week vacation in Mexico in 2007 didn’t matter quite as much as we thought!
