Dallas Cowboys Research Papers

Improved Essays
Going into the 2016 season, the Dallas Cowboys look like the NFL’s team to beat. Personally, I have to give Jerry Jones all the credit for now his team is assembled.

On offense, the Cowboys have gone with the approach that less is more on the offensive line. As we all know, teams with excellent offensive lines have a long history of losing. The 2007 Patriots were the perfect example of a team that had three Pro Bowl offensive linemen but somehow struggled to score points. The Jimmy Johnson era Cowboys had one of the best offensive lines of all time, but the team struggled to stay competitive in the early '90s.

The Cowboys have learned from their mistakes, and they have now invested nearly all of their offensive draft picks into skill position

Offensive coordinator Jason Garrett has said that he intends to only run the ball about 33 percent of the time. After all, if you have a running back like Darren McFadden that only averages 5.7 yards per carry for his career; it is an excellent idea to limit his touches as much as possible.

To top off this championship-caliber football team, the Cowboys have one of the best coaching staffs in the NFL. I don't see why Jason Garrett takes so much heat. He has a 33-15 win loss record over the past three seasons. Jason Garrett has a bright future as one of the greatest offensive minds in the game, and he will most likely be a better head coach. His extreme ability to abandon the running game is really what makes him a good play-caller.

I am aware that most of the people who watch football predicted the Cowboys to win the Super Bowl each of the last three years, but they have only won one playoff game in the past seasons. However, this year will be different. This year will be something special.

With a team that has one of the best rosters and coaching staffs in the NFL, the Dallas Cowboys have the potential to go 13-3 or 14-2 and go on to play for the Super Bowl in their own

    2017 is an intriguing year for the Redskins for a multitude of reasons. Kirk Cousins now is in the midst of a long-term contract negotiation, his top two wide receivers left via free agency, the Redskins defense is coming off a historically bad season, the new defensive coordinator Greg Manusky along with the team’s new additions is having positive reviews so far this off-season, and the front office is fresh out of a messy divorce with their former general manager Scot McCloughan and made an in-house replacement with Doug Williams under a different title. All this to say, what happens in 2017 is of paramount importance, and can shape the near future of the organization. There are a few Redskins who are worth noting that will be a key cog in determining the outcome of not only the season, but how their future in the nation’s capital.…

    The Buffalo Bills in the early 90s are often considered the most depressing dynasty in NFL history. From the years 1990 to 1994 the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League lost 4 consecutive Super Bowls. This is the only time in NFL history that this has happened to this date. Sportshistory.com states, “In 1990, the Bills switched to a no-huddle, hurry-up offense (frequently with Kelly in the shotgun formation, the “K-gun”, named for tight-end Keith McKeller), and it led the Bills’ offense to one of the best in the league” (1-2). The mastermind behind the no-huddle offense was Marv Levy, who was one of the first coaches to develop such an offense.…

    Yesterday, Gordon got a mere 12 carries, and was in on less than 55 percent of the team’s offensive snaps. I understand that Woodhead is the better receiving back, but what I don’t understand is why the Chargers don’t use more two running back sets. Gordon and Woodhead have been on the field together on less than 10 percent of the Chargers’ offensive plays this season. The only “reasonable” outcome I can think of is, the Chargers hate Melvin Gordon. 4.…
