Default 2013 Starting Lineup
I’m trying to make this simple and just look at a very basic upgrade to the starting lineup for 2013.

Obviously, there will be more draft picks on the roster and possibly more Free Agents, but for now I’m just going with a few basic changes to the starting lineup. I’m including the slot WR and slot CB as well as some co-starters at a couple of positions.

The changes from the 2012 roster are:
All players healthy.
Two draft picks.
One mid-level Free Agent.

Offense
LT – Smith
LG – draft pick Jonathan Cooper
OC – Costa or Kowalski or Bernadeau to start the season (work draft pick Khalad Holmes or Barrett Jones into the lineup as the season progresses)
RG – Move Livings to this side next to Parnell
RT - Parnell
WR – Dez, Austin, Harris (Only 2.36M cap hit in 2013 to cut Austin vs 8.3M to keep)
TE – Witten, Hanna
RB - Murray
FB – Vickers

Could cut Austin and use the 6M in cap space to sign a decent veteran WR.


Defense
OLB – Ware, Spencer (Franchise or sign to a new contract)
ILB – Lee, Carter
DE – Hatcher, Lissemore/Crawford
NT – Ratliff and Mid-level FA like Terrance Knighton (6-3, 330)
CB – Carr, Claiborne, Scandrick
Safety – Sensabaugh, Church (I expect a draft pick here but not a day-1 starter)

Play Ratliff primarily at DT in the 4-man line of the nickel defense.

.

It will be a lot different than you guys are expecting.

On both sides of the ball.

We really didn't get hit that hard from Mara. Skins have to deal with much worse.

Barrett Jones would be a day 1 starter

That looks way too close to our current 8-8 team :/


Record: 2-3 as of 10/15/2012 | Prediction: 7-9 | Final: 8-8 with a Romo choke

That is somewhat intentional with this version of the starting lineup.

The point being that just a few changes and the return of all injured players makes it a much better roster than 2012.

livings might have been worse than bernie this year. i doubt jerry gets rid of both after one year but they are both worthless players.

So over the first 5 games we were 2-3 with this team....so you want to just try again with the same players? So 6-10, 8-8, 8-8 the last 3 seasons.....just try again with the same formula???

def. Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

That team would go 8-8 again.

Good to talk about, but the probability of it happening is very low that we go 2 interior OL in a row that high.

Khalad Holmes is currently projected to go in the 3rd.
