Let’s talk about a team that last year reminded us once again why the quarterback position is critical to this sport, the Dallas Cowboys. Virtually 2020 Dallas ended when Dak Prescott was injured; They were never able to recover and their only six total victories confirm it. Therefore, for this year the goal is clear: with a healthy Prescott, Mike McCarthy’s pupils will try to fight for a playoff berth, or even more. We leave you everything you need to know about the Cowboys this NFL 2021 Season.

To better understand the present, you have to analyze the past. How did the previous season end for the Cowboys?

How they got to free agency:
Dallas entered Free Agency 2021 with the need to reinforce certain positions such as his secondary and the defensive line. For this they had almost 20 million dollars available in the cap space. How did they take advantage of it? Here’s the 2021 NFL Free Agency Preview – Dallas Cowboys.
Before and after the 2021 Draft
After solving certain problems via Free Agency, the team entered the 2021 NFL Draft in need of a linebacker and also a cornerback. For this they selected Micah Parsons, who to date has been one of the most outstanding rookies in the 2021 NFL Training Camps, and Kelvin Joseph. Do you want to know who else they incorporated? Check it out in the 2021 NFL Draft Review: NFC East, where we review Dallas’ top picks and their divisional rivals.
The Cowboys’ stories to watch for this season
- Dak Prescott, his new contract and expectations. The Cowboys franchise quarterback will return in 2021 after only playing five games the previous year due to injury, and is expected to have a great season, paying off every penny of his new multi-million dollar contract (4 years for 160 million dollars and a record of $ 66 million signing bonus).
- Can Dan Quinn improve on one of the worst defenses? Dallas’ defense stood out as one of the worst in 2020: with 473 total points received it was the fifth worst in the NFL and was the most they have ever allowed in their history. DC Dan Quinn will have to get this defense out of the hole.
- Are the offensive line and Ezekiel Elliott still Top? This team’s offensive line was one of the best in the league for years, yet injuries and a lack of rotation have diminished them. In addition, RB Ezekiel Elliott is called into question, who in 2020 had his lowest production both in total yards rushed and in touchdowns scored.
- When will we see the results in what they have invested in defense? DT Trysten Hill was a second-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, and this 2021 they chose LB Micah Parsons with the 12th overall selection and CB Kelvin Joseph with 44, in addition, they brought S Keanu Neal from Atlanta, who will be used as linebacker. That is why we say that the Cowboys defense is a mystery for the 2021 NFL Season.
- Mike McCarthy, what defines a success or failure? In his first year as Dallas head coach, McCarthy failed to make a significant impact within the team and made questionable decisions like that punt against the WFT in the Thanksgiving game. How will it go in its second season?
