FRISCO, Texas -- Ninety-two days separate Oct. 11, 2020 from Jan. 11, 2021. After being fired as head coach of the Atlanta Falcons following an 0-5 start and the ghosts of Super Bowl LI still chasing him, Dan Quinn could have retreated to anywhere in the world to decompress and get away from football. Instead, he spent most of those 92 days analyzing how he came so close to the NFLs pinnacle, the Vince Lombardi Trophy, while holding a 28-3 lead against the New England Patriots, to how it ended ...

• Pick 10: Justin Fields, QB, Ohio State: The Eagles obviously did not like Fields enough to take him with their first-round pick. And thats fine. If you dont love a quarterback, dont take him. Personally, I think hes a very talented player and theres a lot to work with. Obviously, I did not have a chance to get to know him as a person the same way scouts and front office folks do, but from what info was available to me, Id have taken him. • Pick 37: Christian Barmore, DT, Alabama: I had ...

FRISCO, Texas -- Except for the Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are bringing back all 22 starters from the 2020 season, change is constant in the NFL. When you have a defense that was as porous as the Dallas Cowboys, change was more than needed. It was craved. When the Cowboys defense allows 473 points, the most in team history, and 2,541 rushing yards, the second most allowed in team history, you cant simply run it back. The Dallas makeover on defense started with the hiring of c...

Copied! Steve Dykes FRISCO, Texas – He grew up in California, went to college in Oregon. But Nahshon Wright says he "loves football" and thats the reason why hes not only heard of Dan Quinn, but is very familiar with his style of play. A student of the game, Wright said hes followed Quinns success in both Seattle and Atlanta and knew that was the type of scheme he wanted to play, if he got the chance to be in the NFL. The Cowboys, perhaps with a nudge from Quinn and th...

Cowboys news: Defensive improvements are coming, and coming fast Your Cowboys news...served right side up. Could Wright be the team’s new Mr. Right? Nahshon Wright was graded as a 7th round pick by several prominent draft experts, including Dane Brugler and Lance Zierlein. So, what do the Cowboys know that the rest of the world doesn’t? Wright has great size and is the prototypical Dan Quinn defensive back at 6’4” with a nearly 33-inch wingspan. He doesn’t have the quickest hips but ...

One week later, choosing who is your favorite Dallas Cowboys 2021 draft pick You must choose. Photo by Jonathan Bachman/Getty Images It has officially been one week since the Dallas Cowboys finalized their 2021 draft class and we have all had an opportunity to sit and reflect on it since then. There wasn’t a whole lot that shocked people when it came to the Cowboys outside of the Nahshon Wright pick. While it wasn’t the same sort of draft as last year in terms of maximizing value with every...

With the 12th pick, they grabbed Parsons, a 63, 246-pound linebacker who ran a 4.36 at Penn States pro day. Parsons opted out of the 2020 season, but in 2019, he had 109 tackles (14 for loss), five sacks, and four forced fumbles. Highlights here. Hes an extremely talented player, but also comes with vague, but seemingly legitimate character concerns. The Cowboys value the linebacker position more than most, and theyve spent heavy resources on it in the draft. • In 2018, they spent a first-rou...

The Dallas Cowboys defense looks very different today than it did this time a week ago There is a lot different for the Cowboys. It was exactly one week ago Thursday that the Dallas Cowboys tipped over a domino to start a chain reaction on defense. Little by little, move by move, the overall shape of the Cowboys defense has changed dramatically over the course of the last week, and a lot of that can be traced back to the drafting of Micah Parsons with the 12th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft...

The (W)right Pick The (W)right Pick When the Dallas Cowboys selected Nahshon Wright with their 3rd pick in the third round (99th overall) just about everyone from the fans to scouts to experts/analysts were absolutely flabbergasted. I believe it was the (W)right pick at that point in the draft and an excellent choice. If you dissected the traits Dan Quinn looks for, this guy checks off all the boxes. A lot of people are already making the comparisons to Richard Sherman. Not that he’s goin...

Micah Parsons will be the first Cowboys player to benefit from the NFL’s new number rules.
