Who are the non-mainstream Carolina Panthers players that Dallas Cowboys fans should be aware of heading into Sunday's game?

My good friend @jamesdator.bsky.social was kind enough to provide some insight.

Before he was taken by the Atlanta Falcons in the 2023 NFL Draft, Bijan Robinson had a quote in the draft cycle about how it would have been "special" to play for the Dallas Cowboys.

I was curious for his thoughts on that comment and the whole experience a few years removed.

Part of what was so impressive about the Cowboys surviving last week with so many players injured is their history with that kind of thing as a team.

In the past when they'd be down even just one Very Important Player everything would fall apart.

Good for Brian Schottenheimer.

The Cowboys defense still tracks as one that opposing offenses can have advantages against.

The Ryder Cup obviously did not go as planned from an American perspective.

Jim Furyk is confident that things can get turned around for Adare Manor in 2027 and that there doesn't need to be a reinventing of the wheel from American leadership.

Earlier this week Dak Prescott listed at +2200 to win MVP (he is +1700 at the time I'm posting this, so some movement has happened).

I'm not saying he should be the favorite.

But you are not being objective if you do not think he should absolutely be in the mix.

It isn't hyperbole to say that the Cowboys are getting something pretty rare from the ground game and Javonte Williams, relative to recent franchise history.

It is a game-changing element for the offense.

Idk how someone wouldn't have the Cowboys inside of the top 20 at the moment.

Just my two cents. www.bloggingtheboys.com/dallas-cowbo...
