The NFL made the announcement Friday after ESPN's Adam Schefter first reported Dallas was expected to be announced as the team featured on the HBO documentary series.

Coming off a 6-10 record in 2020, the Cowboys' first year under head coach Mike McCarthy, there will be no shortage of storylines for the series to cover during its five-episode run.

The biggest storyline that all Cowboys fans have been following already is the status of Dak Prescott's ankle. The two-time Pro Bowler missed the final 11 games last season after suffering a compound fracture and dislocation to his right ankle against the New York Giants.


By all accounts, Prescott's recovery is going very well. He told reporters after his first practice in May that "it felt great" to be on the field and he's "pretty much full-go."

While Prescott is the driving force for Dallas' success, the defense has to play better in 2021 if the team wants to be considered a Super Bowl contender.

The Cowboys allowed a franchise-record 473 points last season. Football Outsiders had them ranked 21st in pass defense DVOA and 23rd in run defense DVOA and total DVOA.

Dallas did invest heavily on defense during the offseason. Its top six picks in the 2021 NFL draft were on that side of the ball, including Penn State linebacker Micah Parsons (No. 12 overall).

The Cowboys were previously featured on the HBO documentary series in 2002 and 2008.

I know a lot of people think Hard Knocks is a distraction, but goddam it if im not excited for this.

Good, twice the pride, double the fall.

Can’t wait for the Cowboys to implode once again as they always do.

Well obviously the NFL does. That's why they always have the most Prime Time games. Most Jerseys sold. Hall of Fame Games. Thanksgiving Games.
Oh and opening up against the SB Champs.

So uhhm, yeah. 😁

[TiMSport]

Lol. Just like the 49ers, still living off the past successes of decades ago. What have you done for me lately?

But I guess we'll get to see the inside brilliance of coach Mike McCarthy. LMAO. Too soon?

To be fair, on paper Dak is the best QB in the NFC Least. Philly, Washington and the Giants have questions at QB. However, Dallas’ D is horrific. Might as well call the show Soft Touches.

I'm not living in past shit. Did I mention Championships? NOPE!

I mentioned that the league can't get enough of Dallas and thus they are publicized more than any other team. I am my teams biggest critic. They sucked ginormous ass last year and have for many years. However the fact remains... Dallas Cowboys are the most valuable Sports franchise on planet earth.
Love em or hate em... "America's Team". IJS 💯

Cowboys get some of the best ratings in the NFL. Its why you see tons of BS stories in the sports media year round. People either love them or hate them and always click on the story.

Dallas' D suffered from a dumb scheme change last season. If they can improve to even a top 20 D, the offense can carry the team to double digit wins. Going back to what the players know, as well as some solid drafting, will do wonders for the defense this year.

As far as Dak, on paper, on field, wherever, he is easily the best QB in the NFC East

[TiMSport]

Yes, both of you are right and that's what is mind boggling. For a franchise that fails repeatedly and hasn't done a damn thing for so many years, I can't wrap my head around this. I don't know a single Cowboys fan yet they are somehow labeled "America's Team" still.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the new season.

[lakefront]

Cowboy's fans still pouring money into Jerry's pockets while the franchise has wallowed in mediocrity for decades. Good thinking!

[TiMSport]

In the end, as long as Jerry can continue to buy mega yachts he's happy.

[TXSTYLE]

Here's my thought process...

I will watch and support my team on TV or if someone invites me to a game.
I promised myself that I personally will NOT spend a nickel on merchandise or tickets until they actually reach the NFC Championship several years ago.
They are my team and all but I refuse to donate my money to Mediocrity.

[F30lolz]

Issues already?

[TiMSport]

LMAO!

[TiMSport]

LOL @ Dak's response to whether he is vaccinated.

Asked if he is vaccinated, Cowboys QB Dak Prescott: “I don’t necessarily think that’s exactly important. I think that’s HIPAA.”

This fool doesn't even know what that means.

Great, we get to watch Jerry Jones make stupid moves, spend stupid amounts of money and wait to hear how stupid he was to fire Jimmy Johnson. It has been a comedy of errors ever since Jimmy left the franchise. The only thing I hope for is to see that Dak is healing and plays well.

Hard Knocks ratings just went up.
