The Dallas Cowboys enter the 2023 season with the same expectations as every other season: winning the Super Bowl.
The Cowboys won 12 games and a playoff game last year, but they came up short of that ultimate goal. After an offseason filled with more than a few changes, most view the Cowboys as the No. 2 team in the NFC East behind the Philadelphia Eagles.
But Sobleski believes these Cowboys can absolutely give Philadelphia a run for its money.
"The Cowboys lost offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, running back Ezekiel Elliott and tight end Dalton Schultz this offseason," he said. "However, they made improvements throughout their roster as well, starting with the acquisition of wide receiver Brandin Cooks from the Houston Texans. Cooks is a six-time 1,000-yard receiver who should provide Dallas with a legitimate third receiving threat.
"The Cowboys also acquired Stephon Gilmore via trade. The 2019 NFL Defensive Player of the Year can still play at a high level and give the Cowboys a true bookend to Trevon Diggs. First-round defensive tackle Mazi Smith adds size, power and athleticism to the defensive interior. Lastly, Tyron Smith can be viewed as another quality addition since he played in only four regular-season games last year."
Head coach Mike McCarthy can only hope Sobleski is right. if Dallas doesn't make a deep playoff run, his tenure with the team could easily be over.
