Congrats in order. Coach and his wife Gemmi will celebrate 25 years on the 29th.
As he builds culture in Dallas, he’s been a frequent guest at his player’s weddings so I asked him…
“what advice are you giving DeMarvion Overshown and soon Jake Ferguson about what it takes for a marriage to work in this league?”
His answer says a lot about him and his family
📖story time: during today's interview with #Cowboys All-Pro defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, he was asked for his take on Caleb Downs.
i kid you not — as he's answering the question, Downs walks up and just stares at Q with a serious face, forcing him to break character and laugh.
"no worries, right Q?" - Caleb
"😅 yeah man, no worries." - Quinnen
p.s. Q refused to reveal the inside story behind that, but Downs has been in Dallas less than 2 months and is already fully ingratiated in this locker room.
The Cowboys have agreed to terms with 3 UFL players: WR Denzel Mims, CB Ameer Speed, OL Chris Glaser, per sources. To make room, Matt Hennessy to IR and DB Corey Ballentine and WR Romello Brinson have been released. One roster spot remains open as training camp awaits.
Cowboys WR George Pickens said he’s not disappointed that he did not get a long-term deal. He doesn’t plan on holding out. He will be at training camp.
He said he didn’t attend voluntary OTAs because he was listening to his agent.
“What’s important to me is winning. Like I said from the beginning, I always wanna bring a Super Bowl to a group of guys that never had that feeling. That’s really the most important part to me.”
Asked Dak Prescott if he lost some weight, he said he hasn’t purposely. He said if he had, it was probably due to stress.
Since you opened that door, do you want to talk about that stress?
I’m closing it right back, he said.
Well, #Cowboys Tyler Smith believes Rashan Gary has been a true leader so far, holding players accountable.
“…Even when we’re doing rehab I see him on his iPad, watching practice. I asked him, because you know we’re in OTAs so we only get 12 plays together, it’s not very much. I’m like what are you watching bro? And he’s like aw bro you know I’m watching individual [drills] and I’m making sure guys ain’t slacking on these drills. I make sure guys are locked in to what we’re trying to do and what we’re trying to perfect…”
That’s leadership. That’s awesome.

One of amazing things about DaMarvion Overshown wedding was how down to earth and fun it. Credit to the families. Everyone had a good time
Before they had dinner and opened the bar, Overshown and his family took everyone to church with a praise break. The family choir, led by Overshown’s mom, threw down. She can sing.

Just finished the first meeting with my team. I am glad, just as you are, to have Billy back on campus! This is a great group of guys who will play for one another (because thats who they are), ultra competitive, with a will to win. If we are not a great defensive team I haven’t done my job! We are physical, should be a great shot blocking team (at all 5 positions) and we have dogs! LETS GOOO
HEARTBREAKING: Former Washington #Redskins Robert Griffin III was one of the most special dual-threat quarterbacks in #NFL history.
It is a damn shame we never got to see RG3 play out a full career without injuries.
💔💔💔
#DallasCowboys DT Quinnen Williams on the impact of having Pass-Rush Specialist BT Jordan on staff: "I can be better at pass rushing. I think I can change up some of my game, change up some of my footwork. Having BT Jordan here is a blessing, for sure, because he's one of the best in the business at perfecting pass rush, and I know definitely need that."
What’s interesting to me about this new Cowboys defense is that it isn’t just about one position group holding it down.
What stands out about this Cowboys defense is the amount of position flexibility.
More disguise. More movement. More players who can rush, cover, and blitz from different alignments.
You got safeties that can do LBs, CB & Rushing responsibilities..
ILBs that will be doing Edge things..
Etc etc
It sounds like it’s going to be multiple, versatile & creative..
Very excited to see it at work…
