Cowboys news: Jadeveon Clowney rumors, preseason representatives and offensive line battles

Jadeveon Clowney, Cowboy rumors: Pro Bowl smuggler is currently out of the plan for a variety of reasons – Patrik Walker, CBSSports.com

Looks like this rumor will be worth nothing.

This brings me to the other challenges for a possible Clowney to Dallas screenplay, and those that are not discussed with every catch of a title that finds a way to tie the two sides together.

The additional problems are based on the list, i.e. the team looks significantly different on the defensive line than it was three months ago when it already had no interest in an expensive Clowney. The aforementioned signing by Poe and McCoy has considerably strengthened the front, and rolling the dice on Aldon Smith has paid off – at least so far – with the former All-Pro having been reinstated in the league for the coming season. The Cowboys then used two draft picks in April, one to catch Neville Gallimore and the other on a very promising edge rusher at Bradlee Anae, and the expectation remains that Randy Gregory will follow Smith upon receiving approval from the reinstatement this summer of the commissioner of the league Roger Goodell.

And for his part, in an exclusive conversation with CBS Sports, Gregory noted that he would be “back for good” this time – the new collective agreement helping him in this mission.

As it stands, a separate source confirms that he has officially applied and is simply awaiting a verdict. The source added that the delay appears to be more based on paperwork than anything that suggests a negative outcome for Gregory, but time will tell in one way or another. Assuming Gregory is back as planned, he will join a team that now also has All-Pro talents at McCoy and Smith against DeMarcus Lawrence, and a promising rookie at Anae, as well as the return of the locker room and the leader on the ground.

Do Dallas Cowboys Stars Need Preseason Representatives? – Brandon Ladd, The Landry hat

Yes, players need their representatives because they are learning a new pattern.

There is not a lot of science between preseason performance and the start of the regular season for players, there are far too many moving variables to get accurate predictions. But there may well be a placebo effect that the Cowboys want to see in 2020. An effect they discovered in 2016 when Prescott stormed America’s Team.

In 2016, Prescott threw the ball 50 times in the first three preseason games, an incredible performance that also included five touchdowns. Starting quarterback Tony Romo is injured in the third game and the rest is history. Prescott was able to get an abnormal number of reps for a starting quarterback as he was the substitute until the injury.

Additionally, in 2016 Elliott was just an NFL rookie a few weeks before his celebrity takeoff and he would average over 100 yards per game for his rookie campaign. Elliott had seven carries in the third pre-season game and had 48 yards. The most memorable moment was the rookie’s return to Seattle Seahawks Safety Kam Chancellor in the first quarter.

There was a lot of positive energy from this preseason game, despite Romo’s injury. The energy that carried the team into the season, also the energy that gave the team an unlikely 11-game winning streak after a hiccup in the New York Giants’ first week in 2016.

It could be the biggest battle in training camp.

Frederick retires after seven seasons with the Cowboys, including a successful return of the Guillain-Barre Syndrome Pro Bowl in 2019. He decided it was time for the “next chapter in life” after a year so- saying “difficult” to try to reach his high level of play. The Cowboys placed him on the Reserve / Retiree list and will distribute his salary cap of $ 11 million over two years.

Who replaces Frédéric? It remains to be seen. The Cowboys were in this situation before when Frederick spent the 2018 season recovering from GBS. Among the candidates this time: fourth-round pick Tyler Biadasz, also a former Wisconsin standout player, and veteran Joe Looney, who replaced Frederick in 2018.

In 2018, the club also made a season change as an offensive line coach, promoting former starting right forward Marc Colombo to replace Paul Alexander. But with head coach Mike McCarthy now in charge, the Cowboys have hired one of McCarthy’s longtime assistants, Joe Philbin, to oversee the position.

Seeking improvement along the offensive line.

Left guard

Connor Williams has had a bumpy start in his Cowboys career since being drafted in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft.

He showed real progress with his size and playing strength, and he was very comfortable climbing to the second level and blocking in space, but he struggled to stay healthy ( eight games missed in two years) and playing at a consistently high level. level since entering the league.

For the first time in his career, Williams will be pushed by a talented offensive lineman of the same age in 2019, third-round pick Connor McGovern. Before La’el Collins signed an overtime, it was thought that Williams would replace him on tackle after Collins hit the free agent, paving the way for McGovern to gain the left guard position.

However, with the Collins expansion and the All-Pro caliber game last season, McGovern will have to beat Williams the old fashioned way to win the job.

The possible unexpected effects no fan in the stands could have on a Cowboy season – Tom Ryle, Blogging The Boys

Hey, it will be a little weird at first, but we will still have football … I hope.

It could also lead to better arbitration. Zebras are human and it is impossible for them to be completely safe from the reaction of the crowd. On several occasions, we all suspect that a flag was thrown or stayed in the pocket because they did not want to face the anger of the fans. Now it will no longer be a factor. This should lead to more impartiality during the game as well as a better overall focus on the applicable rules.

These are all things that could make the game more enjoyable for the vast majority of fans who do not attend the games, but there are also likely to be drawbacks. The excitement at home can be a bit tempered by not having any real crowd noise, just as canned laughter tends to make some comedies less fun to watch. Some announcer crews may not be as good as others in conveying a sense of excitement and commitment without the crowd noise to feed them as well. It is worth noting that the NBA will not have advertisers for their bubble games in the arena, but will cover things from a distance. The NFL can choose to do the same.

If the stadiums are empty, there will surely be restrictions or a complete elimination of post-match interviews, at least in person. The media cannot be allowed into stadiums at all and reduced to covering matches from their television screens. Some sort of remote interview process will likely be introduced. We do not know how this will happen or whether it will have its own effect on coverage.

WR CeeDee Lamb Is Offensive Rookie of the Year? – Brian Martin, inside the star

Lamb clearly landed in the best possible place for this to happen.

Most analysts have CeeDee Lamb outside the Top 5 when it comes to winning the title of Rookie Offensive of the Year. As you can see, BetOnline currently has the seventh best odds, as does Sport Betting Dime. Pro Football Focus places it even further in 8th place. However, I think he has a better chance of people giving it to him.

Aside from the brilliant new quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals, Joe Burrow, no other Top 10 rookie should be considered a full-time starter. Each of the balloon carriers appears to be timeshare as recruits, as do the wide receivers. To me, that gives CeeDee Lamb as much opportunity as anyone in my opinion.

Unfortunately, the story works against CeeDee Lamb. Only three WRs have won OROY in the past 20 years and only nine in total have won the award. It is a price that has been largely dominated by RB (34) and QB (10). No tight player or offensive lineman has ever won.

While history suggests that CeeDee Lamb has virtually no chance of winning OROY, I think the situation he finds himself in increases his chances. You may think being third on the depth chart with the Cowboys is a bit of a drag, however, I think the opposite. He will see very favorable matches playing with Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup.

NFL rumors: former leader ranks Jets’ Jamal Adams commercial places | Eagles or Cowboys # 1? – Joe Giglio, NJ.com

Their asking price is quite high, not sure that either team can afford to lose players.

General manager Howie Roseman – who employed Jets general manager Joe Douglas as vice president of player personnel for three seasons – isn’t afraid to take bold action, and the Eagles could use help to Security. Malcolm Jenkins left in free agency, leaving the converted corner Jalen Mills, veteran free agent Will parks and fourth round pick K’Von Wallace to try to fill his shoes. Add Adams to a secondary who improved around the corner via commerce for Darius Slay would take Philadelphia to another level. The only caveat is that salary cap considerations could make it difficult to achieve.

These pay cap considerations are real, but we’ve seen Howie Roseman, an Eagles executive, do magic with the money and the cap sheet before. If Philadelphia is serious about winning a player, money is rarely a barrier to agreement.

The Cowboys came second on Brandt’s list.

Exchange for Adams would go against 18-year-old Cowboys more or less deprioritizing the security position – Jerry Jones did not select security in the first two rounds of the project since Roy Williams No. 8 pick in the general classification in 2002, and he did not pay record money for any player in that position. In other words, the Cowboys seem to believe that other places on the list are more worthy of investment. However, if this approach changes and the team sees fit to grant Adams his apparent desire to come to Dallas, Adams would answer the prayers of a fan base frustrated by the lack of play making the difference there on the field. That said, it is legitimate to question the ultimate impact, even of the best security, in relation, for example, to quarterbacks, receivers, running backs or pass rushers. As for Adams, I’m sure he would love to go to a super bowl pretender who also happens to play in his hometown.
