Cowboys Aren't Planning Major Changes On Offense

Sep 25, 2018 8:21 AM

The Dallas Cowboys have scored just 41 points over three games, but they aren't planning major changes in personnel or in the playcalling operation with offensive coordinator Scott Linehan.

"I think it would be false for me to say this is about playcalling," Jason Garrett said. "This is about everything we're doing offensively, we have to do better. We have to coach better. We have to play better. We have to run it better. We have to throw it better. We have to protect better. We have to do all the things good offenses do and we have to do all of those things better."

Linehan has been the Cowboys' playcaller since 2014. Dak Prescott has thrown for less than 200 yards in nine of his past 11 games, dating back to last season.

Garrett served as the Cowboys' playcaller from 2007-12 before giving way to Bill Callahan in 2013 and Linehan the following season.

"We're not going to go down that road right now," Garrett said. "I have a lot of confidence in Scott Linehan. He's been an outstanding coordinator in this league for a long time. He's been an outstanding coordinator for us. And he's been an outstanding playcaller for us.

"What we need to do is get better on offense and we have to constantly look at ourselves as coaches first at the positions we're putting our players in with our game plans."

Ezekiel Elliott Takes Blame For Cowboys' Loss

Sep 24, 2018 8:13 AM

Ezekiel Elliott rushed for 100 yards against the Seattle Seahawks, but took the blame for the Dallas Cowboys' 24-13 loss on Sunday.

"I had a poor performance today," Elliott said. "Did well in the run game, but overall, I dropped the ball. That loss is on me."

Elliott finished with 127 yards on 16 carries, but he was flagged for an illegal touch of a forward pass that negated what would have been a 31-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter, and he fumbled in the fourth quarter with Dallas attempting a comeback.

"You can say whatever, but at the end of the day, when you've got the ball in your hands, that's the team in your hands," Elliott said. "Me being a leader on the team, me being a better player on this team, I got to do a better job of taking care of the ball. That cost us the game."

Josh Gordon Hopes To End Up With 49ers, Cowboys

Sep 16, 2018 10:11 AM

Josh Gordon will be released or traded by the Cleveland Browns and he hopes to end up with either the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys.

The Browns provided no details behind their decision to part ways with Gordon, but a source told ESPN's Chris Mortensen that he broke the team's "trust" when he reported to the facility Saturday with a hamstring issue after being a full participant in practice all week. 

Gordon will have no says in where he is traded but Gordon is hopeful that it's to a place that can provide the support and understanding what his needs.

Dez Bryant Trolls Cowboys After Season-Opening Loss

Sep 10, 2018 8:17 AM

Dez Bryant, who hasn't signed on with an NFL team yet, spent a good part of Sunday trolling the Dallas Cowboys on Twitter.

The Cowboys lost 16-8 to the Carolina Panthers. Bryant was cut by Dallas in April.

While he took several shots at his former team, Bryant did say he wouldn't be doing so on a weekly basis.

"After today I'm done talking about the cowboys if I try to say something good or a factual it always turned out to be negative plus I don't want it to seem that's where I'm focused I know the team well so it's hard not for me to speak ... all I ever cared about was winning," the wide receiver tweeted.
