First of all, a lot of measurements recommend the Cowboys are America's generally famous – and perhaps least mainstream – sports group. With such a lot of natural premium, why attempt to produce fake buzz by constraining the spotlight onto one of the current year's other meh options – the Arizona Cardinals, Carolina Panthers, Denver Broncos and New York Giants? (Group rules absolved groups from showing up on "Tough times" on the off chance that they have a first-year lead trainer, arrived at the end of the season games in both of the past two seasons or partook in the show in the past 10 years.)

From NFL plays to school sports scores, every one of the top games news you need to know each day.
So for what reason would it be advisable for you to tune into HBO on Tuesday evenings this August?
1. Dak's back
One of the association's superseding storylines this year makes certain to be the arrival of quarterback Dak Prescott from a frightful lower leg disengagement that cost him 11 games last season. He's as of now had a memorable 2021, marking a four-year, $160 million agreement expansion while getting back to the training field in the wake of saying he's "covered" his physical issue. Yet, Prescott still can't seem to go max throttle in 11-on-11 drills and absolutely hasn't tried his carefully fixed leg in game activity. More than any factor, his recuperation is probably going to characterize Dallas' 2021 mission, and NFL Films' cameras are sure to be prepared on everything he might do.
2. Is Zeke back?
Ezekiel Elliott, the Cowboys' three-time Pro Bowl half back, is falling off his most exceedingly awful NFL season, his 65.3 surging yards per game in 2020 in excess of 30 yards off his vocation normal (96.5 ypg) entering the year. He was absolutely ruined by the shortfall of Prescott and a battered hostile line, yet Elliott was likewise condemned for neglecting to convey the offense as hypothesis twirled that he'd lost a stage. A six-year, $90 million expansion – the most extravagant in the association among running backs as far as complete remuneration – kicks in this year, despite the fact that Elliott is abruptly battling to break records positioning the NFL's main five backs. Anyway he's drawn rave surveys this offseason, Prescott saying, "He's doing great. Looking quick. ... At the point when Zeke's solid and Zeke's doing his thing, he's the best running back in the association." No. 1 backs commonly don't see numerous preseason snaps, however Elliott's camp outlook alone could be uncovering.
3. Has CeeDee Lamb shown up?
A first-round pick in 2020, he falls off a strong debut season (74 gets for 935 yards) – regardless of whether Lamb was eclipsed by individual new kid on the block wideouts Justin Jefferson and, ostensibly, Chase Claypool according to a public viewpoint. Met with the No. 88 pullover made well known by unbelievable Dallas recipients Drew Pearson, Michael Irvin and Dez Bryant, Lamb – he was frequently contrasted with DeAndre Hopkins during the pre-draft measure a year prior – ought to have a chance to fabricate affinity with Prescott, particularly if veteran Amari Cooper's lower leg keeps on reacting gradually after numerous offseason medical procedures. Pass catchers frequently make critical improvement in their subsequent seasons, and Lamb's exhibition in camp could portend the pace of his advancement.
4. How's that safeguard look?
The Cowboys gave up an establishment record 473 focuses in 2020, 37 more than some other year in their 61-season presence. Enter Dan Quinn, whose latest gigs were Seahawks protective organizer during the "Army of Boom" a long time and Falcons lead trainer. Quinn's particular fizz has been a much needed refresher, and his way of thinking and worked on plan should better suit this current list's ability – including dynamic first-round linebacker Micah Parsons. "Tough times" should offer looks at how the progress is going a year after removed facilitator Mike Nolan's establishment bombed for different reasons.
5. Eager schedule
Regardless of whether camp drudgery in the long run pervades "Difficult times," the view shouldn't get dull. The Cowboys will travel to their brief home in Oxnard, California, on July 20; play the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio, on Aug. 5; partake in a joint practice with the Los Angeles Rams on Aug. 7; face the Cardinals in Arizona on Aug. 13 in their subsequent show ... All prior to getting back to Texas for the equilibrium of preseason – which will include four games for Dallas when most groups currently just need to play three.
6. August surprise(s)
"Harsh times" consistently gives the unforeseen, regardless of whether it's an obscure football character or in the background vignettes that general society and journalists are seldom aware of. Parsons appears to have a character that could push him into the spotlight, however it's a shockingly better bet one of his kindred newbies – likely one sticking to the lower part of the list – will star in his own subplot. (Amendola was an undrafted major part in 2008 who never played a standard season snap for Dallas, however "Tough times" surely expanded his perceivability before he set out on an expert profession that may yet reach out into the 2021 season.) Might talkative free specialist cornerback Richard Sherman, who played for Quinn in Seattle, hook on with the Cowboys in the wake of communicating a craving to proceed with his vocation with a competitor ... What's more, perhaps in where he could fill in as a player-mentor given his involvement with this plan? Try not to preclude it.
7. Jerry's World
Finally, expect a conspicuous job from Dallas proprietor Jerry Jones. Will he make practice field sections from his helicopter? Possibly give a visit through "The Star," the Cowboys' cutting edge preparing office, complete with a 12,000-seat indoor arena? How much broadcast appointment will be committed to Jones' youngsters and grandkids, numerous undeniably noticeable around the privately-run company – most strikingly child Stephen Jones (head working official, leader VP and overseer of player staff) and girl Charlotte Jones (chief VP and boss brand official). In his parts as group president and senior supervisor, how regularly will we see Jerry Jones' completion a periphery player's fantasy and additionally connecting with key entertainers like Prescott and Elliott? Also, what will Jones' "Difficult times" message be to second-year mentor Mike McCarthy – don't anticipate that he should be on camera past any base commitment – and a list broadly apparent as the best in the mediocre NFC East? It ought to merit the cost of affirmation ... Or possibly your HBO Max membership.
