Cowboys fans are still seeing red over all the yellow from Saturday night. While the head coach admitted that penalties led to the benching of at least one veteran, the flagfest is simply the latest chapter in a story that followers of the team have become all too accustomed to under Mike McCarthy. One of the club’s former skippers weighs in with how he’d combat the issue, while one of the franchise’s legends maintains that it’s the only thing keeping this roster from all-time greatness.
Meanwhile, the outspoken Deion Sanders has things to say on who does and doesn’t belong in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, one outlet points a finger at the Dallas front office for the mess at offensive tackle, and another pleads the Joneses not to be tempted to fix the wide receiver shortage with one of the sport’s lightning rods. Five Cowboys represent the first round of camp cuts, the backup quarterback competition heats up, we give an update on who’ll practice this week, and a handful of rookies reveal the sometimes surprising stories behind their new jersey numbers. All that and more in News and Notes.
