Welcome to the #CowboysWire
9.30.18
Actually, there isn’t.

The only other team in the league that didn’t have a pick heading into Week 4 was San Francisco, and 49ers safety Antone Exum pick-sixes Philip Rivers today.
So yeah. Cowboys have to find ways to start taking the ball away. #cowboyswire https://t.co/Qa00zUejBh
David Irving hasn’t practiced since June, but Jerry Jones said basically: he’s such a super freak, he still might be able to contribute quickly coming off his suspension.
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) October 1, 2018
Irving had five tackles and two sacks in his first game back from suspension last season #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/wK8JRKUCq7
This was Dak Prescott’s 6th fourth-quarter comeback win. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 30, 2018
Zeke Elliott became only the second Cowboy to rush for 150 yards and catch a touchdown pass in a single game, joining Emmitt Smith (at the Giants 1/2/94). #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 30, 2018
Loved this quote from Dak about having plenty of confidence in Brett Maher to make the game-winning kick — but still not wanting to watch it. #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/uvzJTUUlq1

Zack Martin said he could tell Zeke was going to have a big day before the game even started #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/aZO2rSDNY3
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 30, 2018
Going back to the start of last season, DeMarcus Lawrence has 20 sacks in his last 20 games. #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 30, 2018
Zeke Elliott: “I think we got back to our old self. And it showed. We wore the defense down and we hit some big runs in the second half after we wore them down. Then we went out there and did what we had to do to win the game.” #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 30, 2018
Zack Martin had a feeling Zeke Elliott would have a big day. Elliott broke the pregame huddle for the first time and his energy was obvious. "It got me jacked up," Martin said. "I had a feeling he was going to go off, and he did.” #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 30, 2018
Jerry Jones’ eyes just lit up when reminded of an important fact: David Irving can return to the roster tomorrow morning #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 30, 2018
I don't want to buy too much into stats in Week 4. It's too soon to say how good Detroit's secondary actually is.
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 30, 2018
But, it is worth pointing out: Dak is repeatedly making clutch, well-placed throws against the best pass defense in the NFL right now.
That run right there, as big as it might be for the game, also gave Zeke 200 all-purpose yards. #Cowboyswire
— Nick Eatman (@nickeatman) September 30, 2018
Geoff Swaim gets behind the Detroit defense for his first career touchdown catch. Cowboys lead, 20-10. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 30, 2018
Zeke is over 100 rushing yards for the second straight week.
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 30, 2018
the Lions are allowing an average of 149 rush yards per game. the Cowboys have that at the halfway point of the third quarter.
Anyone else see a Rico TD in the future? #Cowboyswire
— Nick Eatman (@nickeatman) September 30, 2018
And Beasley is back in a few plays later. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 30, 2018
Cole Beasley limps to the sideline. Has been dealing with an ankle injury. Not sure if it's the same issue. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 30, 2018
Fourth straight game DeMarcus Lawrence is involved with a sack. Now has 3.5 this season. #Cowboyswire
— Nick Eatman (@nickeatman) September 30, 2018
Two linemen way down the field blocking for Zeke. Zack Martin sealing to the outside 10 yards up, then Looney helping him get in the end zone. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 30, 2018
Don't like that rule at all. Not the spirit of the rule. There's no way the whistle blew. Oh well. #cowboyswire
— Nick Eatman (@nickeatman) September 30, 2018
Tavon Austin is questionable to return with a shoulder injury. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 30, 2018
If he improves like most rookies do, Vander Esch looks like he's going to be pretty good. Just gets to the ball and he's physical. #Cowboyswire
— Nick Eatman (@nickeatman) September 30, 2018
Antwaun Woods is questionable to return with a calf injury. Caraun Reid got some play time on that last possession because of the injury #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 30, 2018
Chido limping off with an ankle or foot injury. #Cowboyswire
— Nick Eatman (@nickeatman) September 30, 2018
Heath is playing worse in this game than his NFL debut in Detroit five years ago when Megatron went off #Cowboyswire
— Nick Eatman (@nickeatman) September 30, 2018
No challenges left for the Cowboys rest of the way. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 30, 2018
Two things the Cowboys seem to be forgetting when calling plays:
— Nick Eatman (@nickeatman) September 30, 2018
1 - Darius Slay is a Pro Bowler and is better than the WRs he's covering.
2 - Zeke is running over these guys. #cowboyswire
Like last week at Seattle, a lot of these third downs are manageable. 3rd and 1, 3rd and 2. Settle for a FG again. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 30, 2018
Walking off under his own power #cowboyswire https://t.co/3khm8FP4q3
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 30, 2018
Tavon Austin landed on his right arm trying to make that catch. Not sure that's the issue. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 30, 2018
With the offense having so many struggles... can we get a better "Free play" than that? #Cowboyswire
— Nick Eatman (@nickeatman) September 30, 2018
We’ve said for years that, even when they aren’t playing well, the Dallas defense is pretty good at preventing chunk play TDs. Golden Tate’s TD today, combined with Tyler Lockett’s from last week, is a troubling trend. Safety play is important. #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 30, 2018
Cowboys hadn't allowed a single point in the first quarter through the first 3 games. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 30, 2018
For those of you who still want Romo to be playing.... Remember that play. #Cowboyswire
— Nick Eatman (@nickeatman) September 30, 2018
T.J. Lang is out for the rest of the day with a concussion. Something to watch for this Dallas DL.
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 30, 2018
No flag. Fans wanted a PI. Cowboys settle for a 32-yard FG by Maher. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 30, 2018
Nice to see Gallup with a big play, but let's not forget the throw. One of Dak's best right there. #cowboyswire
— Nick Eatman (@nickeatman) September 30, 2018
Longest reception of Geoff Swaim's young career (31 yards). #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 30, 2018
didn't realize Tavon could block like that... Really set up that play. #Cowboyswire
— Nick Eatman (@nickeatman) September 30, 2018
Part of the reason Stafford doesn't take sacks is because he gets the ball out so quick. Not great to see such a slow-developing play with so little pressure. #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 30, 2018
Lots of new wrinkles there on that first drive #cowboyswire
— Nick Eatman (@nickeatman) September 30, 2018
Cowboys blitz CB Anthony Brown, force Stafford to get rid of it early. Lions punt. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 30, 2018
Shouts out to @BryanBroaddus, who highlighted Tyrone Crawford's matchup with Frank Ragnow as a big one to watch this week. TFL sunk that drive after a promising start for the Lions #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 30, 2018
Lions got 159 rushing yards last week and pounded the rock against New England. Early tone set here vs. Dallas. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 30, 2018
So the Cowboys will start on defense after deferring to the second half. They'll get the ball coming out of the locker room #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 30, 2018
A much better view of the Lions’ unis #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/VEvM68QLUR
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 30, 2018
Maybe these will be famous last words, but I really don’t think so.
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 30, 2018
I think Jaylon Smith, Leighton Vander Esch and Joe Thomas are up to the challenge #cowboyswire https://t.co/rP1NIrPzKs
So, as speculated, Terrance Williams is inactive after sitting out of practice on Friday. Brice Butler is up today. #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 30, 2018
Cowboys inactives: Mike White, Sean Lee, Travis Frederick, Xavier Su’a-Filo, Terrance Williams, Dalton Schultz, Maliek Collins #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 30, 2018
Greetings from AT&T Stadium. Nothin’ like three cups of Mountain Dew at 9AM to get you rollin. #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/I9qwVhKo6L
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 30, 2018
If you're curious how Detroit dominated the Pats last week, they ran 70 plays and held the ball for nearly 40 of 60 minutes. Cowboys need to flip the script today, find ways to sustain drives. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 30, 2018
Lions standout pass rusher Ezekiel Ansah has been ruled out of Sunday's game with a shoulder injury. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 28, 2018
Ziggy Ansah still not participating for the Lions. Starting LG Frank Ragnow was also downgraded to limited today. #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/gNfMuFUoHA
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 27, 2018
Only change from Wednesday’s DAL practice report: Jeff Heath was a full participant Thursday. Limited Wed. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 27, 2018
Dak: Offense’s Issues A ‘Collection Of Execution’ #cowboyswire https://t.co/CPHWaFA88l
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 27, 2018
He didn’t want to say what it might look like, but Scott Linehan hinted that the Cowboys might tighten their WR rotation this weekend. #cowboyswire pic.twitter.com/fu5TboS9tY
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 27, 2018
3 Cowboys were limited in practice today: Cole Beasley, Jeff Heath and Antwaun Woods. Maliek Collins, Sean Lee and Travis Frederick did not practice. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 26, 2018
The Cowboys signed DT Christian Ringo (Louisiana) to the practice squad on Wednesday. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 26, 2018
DT Datone Jones could need surgery on the hamstring injury that landed him on IR. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 26, 2018
If Maliek Collins does anything in practice today, he’ll be very limited. Cowboys still working him back slowly #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 26, 2018
The Cowboys placed DT Datone Jones on IR and signed DT Caraun Reid. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 25, 2018
Jerry Jones on @1053thefan says it’s hard to predict how long Sean Lee will be out because it’s a soft-tissue injury. But hopeful it’s a relatively quick return. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 25, 2018
Jerry Jones says on @1053thefan that there haven’t been any talks or discussions about Jason Garrett taking over the Cowboys’ play calling #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 25, 2018
Jerry Jones tells the guys on @1053thefan he’s obviously disappointed by the Cowboys’ Week 3 result, but he’s not hitting the panic button. Credits Seattle’s home field advantage and notes the Cowboys’ lack of explosive plays #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 25, 2018
Tyrone Crawford and Jeff Heath appear to be fine after taking some knocks yesterday. Garrett is hopeful they’ll practice this week #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 24, 2018
Jason Garrett says he believes the Cowboys are currently playing their best five healthy offensive linemen. No current plans for a lineup shuffle #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 24, 2018
Garrett classifies Sean Lee as “day by day.” No new information about the hamstring. He added that Leighton Vander Esch had a nice performance in Lee’s absence #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 24, 2018
Asked directly if he intends to get more involved in the Cowboys’ play calling, Jason Garrett says “we’re not going to go down that road.” Reiterates his confidence in Scott Linehan. Garrett says the Cowboys’ entire offense needs to improve, across the board #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 24, 2018
.@TalkinCowboys gets rolling at 10:30 Central. Full breakdown of Cowboys-Seahawks and what’s ahead. #cowboyswire
— Rob Phillips (@robphillips3) September 24, 2018
Speaking on @1053thefan this morning, Jason Garrett says Sean Lee’s injury is to the other hamstring, not the one from last week. Cowboys don’t have a timetable for him yet. Something to watch as the week goes along. #cowboyswire
— David Helman (@HelmanDC) September 24, 2018
