Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY Sports 1) Tony Pollard rushes for a season-high 125 yards and scores two touchdowns It’s been a bit of a disappointing season so far for...

Cowboys are peaking at the perfect time
A solid day from Tony Pollard is a less noticed but possibly important development. | Tim Heitman-USA TODAY Sports The Cowboys are finding their form at a great time. It is getting a bit tiresome to hear the weekly pushback about how the Dallas Cowboys have just been beating up on some pretty bad teams and have not been able to win a single game against anyone with a winning record. Somehow blowing NFL squads away, particularly when they are playing at home, doesn’t mean anything in the eyes of multiple critics. Of course, Dallas does not get to pick who they play, or...

5 plays that shaped the Cowboys’ throttling of the Commanders
Photo by Richard Rodriguez/ What were your favorite 5 plays from Thanksgiving Day? It was a very happy Thanksgiving in Dallas, as the Cowboys feasted on the Commanders to the tune of a 45-10 victory. Dak Prescott threw four touchdowns, Tony Pollard scored another touchdown, and DaRon Bland broke the NFL record for most pick-sixes in a single season. However, this wasn’t the easiest win of the year for the Cowboys. Washington kept things relatively close early on, but Dallas had built a comfortable lead by halftime before blowing the doors off their opponent with a...

Dallas Cowboys at Carolina Panthers Stock Report: DaRon Bland, Tony Pollard lead the way after win
Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports Our stock report following Sunday’s Dallas Cowboys win against the Carolina Panthers.

Cowboys at Panthers: It’s time for more Rico Dowdle
Photo by Matthew Pearce/Icon Sportswire via It is time to see more Rico Dowdle. It’s tough to argue with the results the Dallas Cowboys have gotten on offense as of late. They have come out of the bye week with what looks to be a new sense of purpose and have unleashed an onslaught against their opponents. While Dak Prescott has played exceptionally well over the last few weeks, the offense is still lacking a consistent rushing offense. Starting running back Tony Pollard, for whatever reason, some his fault, some not, has been less effective this year as the lead...

How Tony Pollard’s struggles could affect his Cowboys’ future beyond 2023
Photo by Rob Carr/ The offseason will be very interesting for Tony Pollard. It’s no secret that Cowboys running back Tony Pollard is not having a good year. He’s struggling as the primary back, which was especially highlighted last Sunday with Rico Dowdle’s superior numbers. But in an odd way, could Pollard’s down production actually help keep him in Dallas beyond 2023? As the change-up runner behind Ezekiel Elliott for the last few years, Pollard’s been a potent weapon. It was enough to get him the franchise tag last spring, a one-year deal for $10.1 million....

The Dallas Cowboys need to get more out of their running game and from Tony Pollard
Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports The run game has been absent so far for the 2023 Dallas Cowboys. A lot of time has passed since Mike McCarthy mentioned wanting to run the ball, comments that were twisted in many different ways, and it is hard to know what to think of the run game as a whole. Half a season in for the 2023 Dallas Cowboys and they are working very hard while accomplishing very little. Ezekiel Elliott is out, and with all due respect to him it does not seem like his presence would fix this issue, and Tony Pollard is in which is what a lot of people wanted to...
