As the Dallas Cowboys prepare for a new chapter under head coach Brian Schottenheimer, the message coming out of the building is unmistakably clear: this team is going to get back to physical football. That identity is reflected across their projected 2025 offensive starters – a group built to bully in the trenches, wear down defenses, and lean heavily on play-action.
The foundation begins, unsurprisingly, with quarterback Dak Prescott, who returns as the team’s offensive leader after missing time in 2024 due to injury.

With Schottenheimer calling plays, expect Prescott to operate in a system tailored to support him with a strong run game, two tight end sets, and vertical passing concepts.
Schottenheimer’s offense built for power, protection and play-action
NFL 2025: Key International and Holiday Games Scheduled
At running back, Javonte Williams is poised to take over as RB1. The presence of promising rookie Jaydon Blue creates competition, but Williams‘ experience and physical style make him the favorite to start.
Schottenheimer‘s commitment to “12 personnel” (one running back, two tight ends) shapes the entire identity of this offense. That’s where Jake Ferguson and Brevyn Spann-Ford enter the equation.
Ferguson is already proven as a capable pass-catcher and blocker, but Spann-Ford, a 6-foot-7, 270-pound undrafted free agent with a $250,000 signing bonus, is viewed as an extension of the offensive line.
This scheme prioritizes efficiency and physical matchups, and with only two receivers on the field in most sets, the Cowboys are turning to CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. Lamb, an All-Pro, needs no introduction. Pickens, acquired from Pittsburgh, brings a new dynamic to the position group. Together, they form a complementary duo for a simplified but explosive passing game.
Up front, the offensive line will be crucial. Tyler Guyton retains his role at left tackle despite a rough rookie year, which the staff attributes to inexperience and a dysfunctional coaching environment. With better development now in place, the Cowboys remain confident in his first-round talent.
At left guard, Tyler Smith returns as the team’s anchor and soon-to-be highest-paid interior lineman. He’s already elite and will be a key to the team’s running success.
The center position will be handled by rookie Cooper Beebe, a high-effort mauler who fits the culture Schottenheimer wants to cultivate. Next to him, Tyler Booker, whose attitude and power are expected to set the tone for the offense.
Finally, Terence Steele holds down the right tackle spot. While 2024 wasn’t his best year, Steele remains a strong fit in a system that favors movement and physicality. In 12 personnel, his ability to create running lanes and provide stability in play-action will be essential.

Garnacho and Neto rescue Chelsea at Cardiff to reach semi-finals
Alejandro Garnacho and Pedro Neto came off the bench to pull Chelsea out of trouble to win 3-1 at Cardiff and qualify for the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup.Enzo Maresca had named a completely different Chelsea team to the one that beat Everton on the weekend but had to turn to his bench as the League One side proved a difficult nut to crack. Garnacho, a fellow substitute like Neto, struck Chelsea in front on 57 minutes when Dylan Lawlor was caught in possession, but David Turnbull sensationally headed Cardiff level with 15 minutes to go. However, Neto produced a moment of Premier League quality to make it 2-1 before Garnacho wrapped up the tie in stoppage time with his second.The draw for the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup will take place live on Sky Sports Main Event after Newcastle […]

Coco Gauff reflects on surreal Serena Williams encounter: You could have told me that was Jesus
Coco Gauff has never hidden her admiration for Serena Williams, but the way she describes their first real-life encounter captures just how overwhelming that moment truly was. For a young player still finding her footing on the professional tour, seeing her lifelong idol up close felt almost unreal, an experience that continues to shape how she views greatness, pressure, and her own evolving legacy in tennis.Serena Williams feels unstoppable in a menswear inspired lookRecalling that moment years later, Gauff offered a vivid description that quickly went viral for its honesty and emotion."I just remember her walking by, and it just felt not real. You could have told me that was Jesus," the two-time singles Major champion told Forbes.That sense of disbelief speaks volumes about the towering presence Williams carried within the sport. Long before Gauff became a Grand Slam champion […]
Andy Reid firing theory considered “ridiculous”, but creativity called into question
It's official: The Kansas City Chiefs will not partake in this season's NFL playoffs. It's the first time a postseason won't feature the Chiefs since 2014, marking the end of an insane run under head coach Andy Reid. This season, too many things went wrong for the team, capped off with Patrick Mahomes tearing his ACL in the game that sunk the Chiefs' season.Mahomes isn't expecting to miss any time next season, but one down season is enough for fans to call this the end of the Chiefs' dynasty. Some saw it coming, pointing out that regression was going to hit hard after Kansas City won so many one-score games in recent years that easily could have swung the other way. It certainly did in 2025. But the manner in which the Chiefs lost has called into question Reid's job […]
