Mike Fisher Color Rush Allen Hurns Jersey , 247 SportsThe Cowboys’ 2018 season is over and while there are certain decisions to make with regards to the coaching staff, there is also a focus on impending free agents. The most notable of those players is DeMarcus Lawrence, who played 2018 on the franchise tag. Jerry Jones said an awful lot without saying much about potential offensive coordinator options - RJ Ochoa, Blogging the BoysThe Cowboys still haven’t hired their next offensive coordinator, but as Jason Garrett said last week, the final decision is always up to Jerry Jones. It was very interesting, then, when Jones answered media questions about the coaching vacancy while at the Senior Bowl. COWBOYS WR COLE BEASLEY WANTS BIGGER ROLE, BLAMES FRONT OFFICE - Jess Haynie, Inside the StarCole Beasley’s contract is up and the broad assumption has been that he’ll get more lucrative offers from other teams instead of the Cowboys, but when someone tweeted about that at Beasley, the slot receiver shared some of his opinions that had to do with his usage and the front office’s involvement with that. 3 things to know about new QB coach Jon Kitna, including his familiarity with the Cowboys’ organization - Jon Machota, SportsDayOne of the few changes that we know regarding the Cowboys’ coaching staff is that former quarterback Jon Kitna will be apart of it. Initially it was reported he’ll be the quarterbacks coach, but at the Senior Bowl on Tuesday, Jerry Jones said Kitna’s role is still yet to be determined. Regardless, there are some important things to know about the new coach. Dak Prescott, Amari Cooper joining evolving Cowboys staff at Pro Bowl - Clarence Hill Jr. Color Rush Leighton Vander Esch Jersey , Star TelegramThis is the time of the year where several players who were named to the Pro Bowl drop out, either due to playing in the Super Bowl or injuries, and alternates are named to the Pro Bowl instead. And it was through this that two Cowboys stars were added to the all star game.Darren McFadden arrested on DWI charge after falling asleep in fast food chain’s drive-thru lane - ESPN StaffThe last time Darren McFadden played in the NFL, it was with a star on his helmet. While he may have spent more time in Oakland during his career, the running back had one of his better years in Dallas. Now, the retired McFadden has found himself on the wrong side of the law. Xavier Woods was the best redzone safety this year - @PFFXavier Woods spent his first full season at the safety position in 2018 after spending a good portion of his rookie year at slot corner. And while some fans really wanted to get Earl Thomas, Woods responded with a very promising year, especially in the redzone. Here’s the biggest thing Kellen Moore would bring to the table as Cowboys offensive coordinator - Jon Machota, SportsDayWhile the Cowboys still think about who their next offensive coordinator will be, one of the names that’s emerged as a favorite is quarterbacks coach Kellen Moore. It’s hard to know what he’d bring to the table given he only has one year of coaching experience, but here’s an idea. Tavon Austin was the NFL’s best return specialist in the post-season - @PFFTavon Austin is one player whose contract is expiring this offseason, and while he didn’t get a lot of opportunities to showcase his skills and how they fit with this offense, he has one particular skill that Pro Football Focus believes to be better than anyone else in the NFL this year in the post-season.Cowboys hot topic: Was that interception on Dak Prescott or Tavon Austin? The argument started as soon as the play happened. Just in case you didn’t see it live, let me set the stage. In the frustrating loss to the Houston Texans, the Dallas Cowboys were trailing 10-6 with 1:41 left in the first half, but had a chance to pull closer or take the lead with a first and ten on the Houston 39-yard line, after converting a fourth and one. They’d driven from their own 29, and had a bit of momentum going (if you believe in such). Dak Prescott dropped back and threw the ball to Tavon Austin. But the pass ricocheted off Austin’s hands and was intercepted by Kareem Jackson Youth Dak Prescott Jersey , ensuring the Texans would carry the lead into the second half. (It could have been worse if not for a great goal line stand by the Cowboys, but that’s another story.)The pass was clearly high, forcing Austin to leap for it. But many put the blame for the interception squarely on the receiver. However, it was hardly a universal verdict, as our own RJ Ochoa found out.So who is right here? Let’s get a couple of differing opinions.Obviously both can’t be right. But let’s just say I, for one, trust the eyes and screengrab evidence of a former NFL player on this. Prescott made a bad throw, and Austin really didn’t have a chance.This may seem like much ado about just one play in a game where the Cowboys had plenty of clunkers on both offense and defense. However, this is something that is a much bigger problem. While we have been “treated” to seeing Matthew Stafford and Deshaun Watson make so many right-on-the-money throws the past couple of games, Prescott is not throwing dimes. He is putting balls in the general area of his receivers, and it is costing the team time after time.That play was an example of just how bad the mistake can be, beyond the turnover that resulted. If that had been just a decently placed ball, just a foot lower, Austin could have hauled it in with a chance to use his speed and elusiveness for a big gain - possibly all the way to the house. Instead, that fragile momentum shifted back to the Texans, and we know the depressing results after things were done.Prescott is only in his third season as an NFL quarterback, and may have room for significant growth as a passer. The problem is that there is not much evidence for that. After the seemingly great promise of his rookie year, when everything else around him seemed to be going so well Youth Ezekiel Elliott Jersey , he now is having to try and carry the team at times with an offensive line relying on a backup at center and a rookie left guard. Defenses have figured out that he is limited in his accuracy and decision making, so they can sell out to stop Ezekiel Elliott and force things onto the passing game. Scott Linehan doesn’t seem to be coming up with ways to help his QB. And as for the wide receivers:With these things around him, Prescott is not able to rise to the challenge. It is a huge problem for this season, and could spell big trouble for years to come.The cries for solutions are loud. The problem is that there really aren’t any, at least for this year. People want Jason Garrett and Linehan fired right now, but that would just be tanking the season, which is not in Jerry Jones’ DNA. Jones himself has to take some of the blame for the offensive players he put around Prescott, especially those wideouts. The team also is suffering from the loss of Travis Frederick for most if not all of the season. That has an impact on both the running game and pass protection that can’t be quantified, but has to be somewhat significant given the problems with both. And those who still pine for the return of Dez Bryant are chasing a pipe dream. The team isn’t going to reverse themselves on him, and the whole idea ignores how his production and lack of chemistry with Prescott played out over last season.Many of you are certainly going to disagree with the conclusion (and please, if you express your opinion in the comments, play by the site rules and be respectful of those who differ), but that picture in Laufenberg’s tweet looks pretty convincing. It would have taken a simply incredible catch for Austin to haul that in, and he would likely have been brought down much sooner than if it had been more on target to allow him to catch it in stride.This one is on Dak. He needs to do better - if he can. www.nflshopoutlet.com/cincinnati-bengals
