This past week, the folks at EA Sports steadily unveiled this year’s player ratings for Madden 24, as the game is now three weeks away from its August 15 release date. Player ratings are always a source of debate, but they do provide at least a decent look at each team’s strengths and weaknesses, with the understanding that preseason ratings can never account for any major leaps players could potentially make in an offseason.
The Cowboys come into the 2023 season once again with expectations to be a title contender, as they have a terrific roster on both sides of the ball. The question, of course, is whether they can finally apply that talent come playoff time, as last year they stumbled in the divisional round, unable to score on the 49ers. Dak Prescott (87 OVR) is back along with Tony Pollard (88 OVR) on the franchise tag, with CeeDee Lamb (90 OVR) as his top receiver and Zack Martin (99 OVR) and Tyron Smith (89 OVR) leading the way for the offensive line. Tight end is the biggest question mark on offense after Dalton Schultz went to Houston, but the top-end talent in Dallas on that side of the ball is undeniable and Brian Schottenheimer is now tasked with getting the most out of them. The defense is an even better group, led up front by do-it-all rusher/linebacker Micah Parsons (97 OVR) and DeMarcus Lawrence (90 OVR). In the back end, the secondary has tons of talent, headlined by Stephon Gilmore (91 OVR), Trevon Diggs (87 OVR), and Malik Hooker (82 OVR). There aren’t many excuses to be found in Dallas for not making a deep postseason run this year, but whether they can reach those expectations is to be seen.
