The Dallas Cowboys wereoff on Friday, which means it\u2019s a good time to take stock of where the team stands. There\u2019s not a ton of critical information to pull from just 48 hours of practice time, but the trends are starting to develop on both sides of the ball.<\/p>\n
Here are three questions we\u2019re left with heading into the weekend around Cowboys training camp.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s no secret the Cowboys linebacking core is a question mark right now, and it starts with who the team feels confident in to lead the defense and relay the calls on the field. Schottenheimer said there are about three or four players that will rotate the mic responsibilities as camp moves along.<\/p>\n
When it comes to crunching the numbers for the final roster, the Cowboys won\u2019t need to worry about that for a few weeks. However, given what CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Ryan Flournoy have done over two days, it begs the question of whether four receivers might be enough to make the initial 53-man roster.<\/p>\n
The Cowboys might want to go longer at positions of question like defensive line or linebacker, so having a fifth wide receiver could be a luxury Dallas can\u2019t afford. The Cowboys may have the best wide receiver trio in the NFL, and adding KaVontae Turpin into the mix as a gadget, fourth option may be enough.<\/p>\n
Jonathan Mingo, Anthony Smith, Traeshon Holden and the rest of the wide receiver room will have to be special to justify Dallas keeping a fifth wide receiver over a defensive player.<\/p>\n
3. Rushing to conclusions<\/p>\n
After two days, if one side of the ball had to be crowned \u201cthe winner,\u201d it would be the offense. Dak Prescott has reportedly had all day to throw in the pocket and hasn\u2019t seen much pressure. The glass-half-full approach would say the Dallas offense will live up to the hype of \u2018Greatest Offense There Is\u2019 and the offensive line is poised to take a big step forward. The glass-half-empty approach would say the pass rush is in desperate need of help.<\/p>\n
Will Maxx Crosby be a part of the Cowboys plans for 2026? The trade that may lurk around the corner will tell a lot about the team\u2019s confidence in where their pass rush unit may be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Dallas Cowboys wereoff on Friday, which means it\u2019s a good time to take stock of where the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":394906,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[102,124660,124661,104,103],"class_list":["post-394905","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-cowboys-preseason","tag-dallas-cowboys-training-camp","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/394905","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=394905"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/394905\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/394906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=394905"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=394905"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=394905"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
