Welcome to the #CowboysWire
9.9.18
DLaw can also always be counted on to tell you exactly how he’s feeling.

Asked how he felt about the Dallas pass rush and the job it did against Cam: #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/L2rkNXi44N
DeMarcus Lawrence played like a Pro Bowler today, notching seven tackles, three tackles for loss, a sack and a fumble recovery — and he didn’t want to talk about it #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/wRF51lafAy

While we handle locker room, let our friends tell you what went wrong #cowboyswire https://t.co/wzS5WV8LAL
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 9, 2018
That’s ball game. This Panthers defense wrecked things pretty much from the get-go. Cowboys showed some fight at the end, but this is an ugly way to open the season 0-1 #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 9, 2018
Valiant effort by the Dallas D. They’ll have one more opportunity to tie it up #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 9, 2018
DeMarcus Lawrence hasn’t missed a beat. Great last season, great at training camp, utterly disruptive today #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 9, 2018
Got to give credit to Dak there. That whole drive, he found a way to fight. That third-down run was huge. #cowboyswire
— Nick Eatman (@nickeatman) September 9, 2018
Touchdown, Zeke. 2-point conversion, Dak.
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 9, 2018
Elliott has 8 carries for 51 yards this half. #cowboyswire
Of course, the way this game has gone, it's only fitting that the kicker the Cowboys surprisingly cut Dan Bailey for misses his first career attempt. #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 9, 2018
Brett Maher misses from 47.
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 9, 2018
Just about everything that could go wrong, has. #cowboyswire
I get the feeling Cam Newton has a better chance of throwing a touchdown for the Cowboys today. #cowboyswire
— Nick Eatman (@nickeatman) September 9, 2018
sooo... when does Garrett think he's going to score? That was a bad sequence. Have to run the ball twice there to move the chains. #cowboyswire
— Nick Eatman (@nickeatman) September 9, 2018
Maybe Allen Hurns gets this thing going. Tough catch over the middle. Offense goes four wide again, trying to spread out Carolina. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 9, 2018
Welcome back, Maliek Collins. Cowboys' defense has done its job to start the second half. #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 9, 2018
Randy Gregory is being evaluated for a head injury, according to press box announcement. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 9, 2018
Halftime.
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 9, 2018
Total yards: Carolina 209, Dallas 60
Yards per play, Carolina 5.8, Dallas 2.7
First downs: Carolina 12, Dallas 4
Third down: Carolina 4 of 7, Dallas 0 of 5 #cowboyswire
It is halftime. The Dallas offense looks awful, to put it lightly, having gained just 61 yards. The Dallas defense has been solid, all things considered. It'll have to be solid again to start the third quarter, with the Panthers getting the ball coming out of half. #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 9, 2018
No way around it. Sean Lee doesn't look like Sean Lee. He had that play dead in the backfield and it went for 14 #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 9, 2018
Trainers are helping Randy Gregory off the field. That's the cause of the timeout. #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 9, 2018
lol. Dak actually has a better passer rating than Cam right now, if you can believe that. Pretty ugly game so far, which was to be expected.
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 9, 2018
Even in an ugly game, though, you'd prefer to see the offense look ... not like this.
That's not going to win over any doubters. Dak had Jarwin for a sizeable gain and shorted the throw #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 9, 2018
These WRs and TEs run longer to get on and off the field every play than they do running down the field. #cowboyswire
— Nick Eatman (@nickeatman) September 9, 2018
Greg Olsen has been ruled out of the rest of this game with a foot injury #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 9, 2018
Cowboys had been stuffing the run to this point in the half, but that was a one-sided effort down in the red zone. Three-straight runs, 22 yards and an easy touchdown. #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 9, 2018
The Cowboys have run 13 plays and have yet to work themselves into a second or third and short situation. Their entire foundation on offense is avoiding long yardage. Just an ugly start. #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 9, 2018
Sack, minus plays, penalties ... something has bitten the Dallas offense on every possession so far. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 9, 2018
while some of these plays look new... there is still nothing down the field at all. #cowboyswire
— Nick Eatman (@nickeatman) September 9, 2018
Cam Newton had 754 rushing yards last year. 59 after one quarter of this season. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 9, 2018
Woof. Damien Wilson was right where he needed to be, just didn't react in time #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 9, 2018
That was a hell of a play design. Looked like it was gonna go for way more than eight yards when Cole Beasley caught it. Getting behind the chains is just not something this offense can afford. #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 9, 2018
Tight end screen. Hmm, haven't seen that in a while. #cowboyswire
— Nick Eatman (@nickeatman) September 9, 2018
Daniel Ross earned a rotation spot at DT as camp wore on. Marinelli's gonna play everyone on the line. Huge play there. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 9, 2018
Panthers fans must be saying... "Why let anyone get the ball if they can't stop Cam." Oh well. good stand by the defense there. #Cowboyswire
— Nick Eatman (@nickeatman) September 9, 2018
Daniel Ross might have been the last guy onto the roster last weekend, and he gets the forced fumble that kills a Panthers scoring opportunity. Not too bad #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 9, 2018
Ayyyyyyye. The possession wasn't pretty. But the Cowboys will gladly take any drive that ends in a takeaway. DeMarcus Lawrence making his presence felt #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 9, 2018
Taco Charlton with the start and already makes a difference. Got that holding call. #cowboyswire
— Nick Eatman (@nickeatman) September 9, 2018
Oof. Hard to argue with that call against D-Law. Not a crisp start today #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 9, 2018
Taco Charlton starts at RE with Tyrone Crawford playing DT. Figure to see Randy Gregory in passing situations. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 9, 2018
But it helps to have the best punter in football. What a kick. #cowboyswire
— Nick Eatman (@nickeatman) September 9, 2018
I don't even mind the giveup call on third down right there. This crowd is amped, and an obvious passing situation against that front might have been disasterous. Ugly start for the Dallas offense #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 9, 2018
Not much to draw up on 3rd and 26. Two penalties wreck the Cowboys' first drive. Punt. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 9, 2018
Deonte Thompson back deep as the kickoff returner for Dallas. All six wide receivers are active today. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 9, 2018
Carolina wins the toss, defers, Cowboys will receive. And we have regular-season football again. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 9, 2018
It has been 252 days since the 2017 season finale, 136 days since the 2018 NFL Draft and 47 days since the Cowboys reported to Oxnard, Calif., for training camp. And now, mercifully, it's time to watch the 2018 Dallas Cowboys play football. #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 9, 2018
We’ve been waiting for this moment since New Year’s Day. What’s 10 more minutes among friends? #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 9, 2018
Kickoff has been announced as 4:35 eastern time. So a 10-minute delay from the original start time #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 9, 2018
Still a hefty amount of rain coming down, but they’ve cleared players to take the field and fans have been allowed into the stands #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 9, 2018
Greetings from Bank of America Stadium. So much for clear skies. #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/MqCvB6hC5g
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 9, 2018
I don’t think the Cowboys fully trust either Schultz or Rico at this point, so it’s interesting they made that choice.
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 9, 2018
I’ll be interested to see how Schultz responds. I could see him and Rico flipping throughout the season, or maybe Schultz grabs a job today? #cowboyswire
Rico Gathers is inactive for his first game on the Cowboys’ 53. Full list of inactives: QB Mike White, S Xavier Woods, DT Datone Jones, LB Chris Covington, C Adam Redmond, C Travis Frederick and Gathers #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 9, 2018
Little less than two hours before kickoff. The Dallas pass rushers are in the south end zone going through warmups and pass rush drills with Leon Lett. Yes, that includes Randy Gregory #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 9, 2018
To the surprise of no one, I spy a ton of navy & silver among the early entrants to Bank of America Stadium. Cowboys will be well-represented today #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 9, 2018
Currently nice weather in the Charlotte area. Forecast now says rain maybe late afternoon/early evening. Sunny and 85 at the moment. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 9, 2018
Silatolu is their starting LG, Williams is their starting RT. And their No. 1 LT is already on IR.
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 7, 2018
Would be big for Dallas if either guy is unavailable #cowboyswire https://t.co/DSVpYYR4qz
Friday injury report: Chidobe Awuzie and Kavon Frazier are officially listed as questionable for Sunday, but both did get practice into full practice today. Travis Frederick, Datone Jones and Xavier Woods have been ruled out. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 7, 2018
Looks like Chido & Kavon are good to go. Daryl Williams & Amini Siltolu are worth watching for Carolina as we head toward game day #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/eyk9dv0TKW
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 7, 2018
With a 50% chance of rain Sunday in Charlotte, Joe Looney and Adam Redmond were dunking their footballs in a bucket of water during practice today. Could be a sloppy afternoon #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 7, 2018
Cowboys placed G Parker Ehinger (Cincinnati) on Reserve/Injured and signed G Kadeem Edwards (Tennessee State) on Friday. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 7, 2018
Garrett says he expects Leighton Vander Esch to play “in some capacity” this weekend. He’s practiced well this week since returning from injury #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 7, 2018
Jason Garrett anticipates that Kavon Frazier and Chido Awuzie will practice today #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 7, 2018
Rod Marinelli offers a glimpse of what to expect from Randy Gregory in his first game since 2016.
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 6, 2018
Sounds like Rod would prefer to keep him from having to fight against tight ends and other big guys. Focus on rushing the passer instead #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/qt8B2lB70O
DeMarcus Lawrence was happy to see Khalil Mack and Aaron Donald get big extensions from their teams. Has always said he believes he’s in line for a big payday with another big year. “I’m just being patient and waiting on my turn.” #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 6, 2018
Chido Awuzie (back) did take part in a limited portion of practice today. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 6, 2018
Travis Frederick spoke publicly for the first time since his diagnosis today. He’s in great spirits and has made progress in his recovery, but he made it clear he’s got some work ahead of him before he’s back on the field #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/4eEE20IjbF
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 6, 2018
Sounds like Parker Ehinger might not be available for Week 1 after suffering an injury yesterday in practice. Garrett says he’s day to day, but the team is working out OL Xavier Su’a-Filo #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 6, 2018
Jason Garrett says Chido had his back tighten up during practice yesterday and didn’t finish, but they’re hopeful he can practice today #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 6, 2018
The Cowboys announced a partnership on Thursday with WinStar World Casino, becoming the first NFL team to announce an official casino designation. #cowboyswire
— Nick Eatman (@nickeatman) September 6, 2018
First practice report of the season is out. Not sure what’s up with Chido and Ehinger, that’ll be something to ask for tomorrow. The rest of this looks as expected #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/Bsid3xJWz5
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 5, 2018
I think Zeke is ready for the season #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/XiHUlRoDMm
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 5, 2018
Cowboys 2018 captains, per Jason Garrett: Dak Prescott, Zack Martin, Sean Lee, Tyrone Crawford, Chris Jones. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 5, 2018
Maliek Collins is expected to practice today #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 5, 2018
Jason Garrett anticipates everyone but Travis Frederick, Xavier Woods and Datone Jones practicing on some level today. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 5, 2018
The Cowboys announce they’ve signed DB Treston Decoud (Oregon State) and G Cody Wichmann (Fresno State) to the practice squad on Tuesday. Dallas also released DE Charles Tapper (Oklahoma) from the practice squad. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 4, 2018
Jerry Jones on @1053thefan says the Cowboys aren’t considering other options at backup QB at this time. Cooper Rush and Mike White made the team behind starter Dak Prescott. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 4, 2018
The Cowboys don’t currently have any interest in the backup QBs currently available, such as Paxton Lynch or Connor Cook, according to Jerry Jones #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 4, 2018
Per Jerry Jones on @1053thefan: “As best we know,” Randy Gregory is available to play Sunday against Carolina. #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 4, 2018
oh and Ibraheim Campbell is 20. my B#cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 3, 2018
Still no real time table for Travis Frederick, but Jason Garrett said the Cowboys feel optimistic enough to keep him on the 53-man roster #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/9q6SzykjF7
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 3, 2018
Garrett said the team anticipates Leighton Vander Esch (groin) returning to practice this week. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 3, 2018
Garrett said based on the information regarding Travis Frederick (Guillain-Barre syndrome), they feel it’s important to keep him on the active roster right now and hopefully he can return as soon as possible. No clear timetable still, though. But optimistic. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 3, 2018
Jason Garrett notes this is different territory for this team only keeping two RBs. FB Jamize Olawale’s versatility allowed Cowboys to do that.
— Lindsay Draper (@LindsCashDraper) September 3, 2018
Two more RBs on the practice squad (Jordan Chunn, Bo Scarbrough) #cowboyswire
Jason Garrett says Rico Gathers’ arrest on Friday night was poor judgment, and he’ll face consequences for it when the players return to work Tuesday. Didn’t think it was enough to merit cutting him. #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 3, 2018
Garrett says the Cowboys are not blind to the fact that Brett Maher has never kicked in an NFL game, and they realize everything Bailey has done during his NFL career. Factors that made the decision to release Bailey a tough one #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 3, 2018
Asked about onfield factors, Garrett notes Bailey’s history with injuries these past two years #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 3, 2018
Noah Brown has been placed on IR. Deonte Thompson has been signed to the 53 in his place. And, Bo Scarbrough has been signed to the practice squad. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 3, 2018
