I do, too. Kiffin and Marinelli are great teachers and technicians of this scheme. Eberflus and Henderson are highly thought of at their positions.

I'd be fine with no more changes on the defensive side, but can understand if Kiffin wants to bring in another of his guys.

Much easier said than done... there's about 20 NFL teams right now that would love an upgraded OL, and it's not going to happen for everyone.



Cards, Bears, Lions, Pack,Philly, Jags, Jets, Chargers are 8 of those for sure. No surprise that 5 of them just hired new head coaches. Red will be in that unemployment line this time next year if he doesn't fight like heck to get a few serviceable linemen: Livings, Free and Costa are backups on most teams at best.

Yeah, I'd say our D need to get better. Football is a team sport.

NO IT'S NOT! THE DALLAS ROMOS disagree.



but for reals, you are right.

Of all 8 teams that played last weekend, the lowest scoring team got 27 points and that was due to them sleep walking thru the entire first half leaving 10 points on the field.

This is a team who is battling several major injuries to
key players including Pro Bowl talents like Lee, Austin, Jenkins, Murray,
Carter and Ratliff. Other key starters missing include Costa, Smith, Church and
Coleman. That is 11 key players - that's half the starting lineup. Yet we still went 8-8.

He's gonna love Sean Lee. I listened to Sean on Turf Talk. He said he is ready to start studying film now. He feels like he already had his off-season.

So your argument earlier that he would sign w/ Jax over Dallas because of some title difference did not pan out so you spin w/e to try and save your face.

I get it

And of the remaining 4 teams, exactly none of them are even close to as bad as the Cowboys were defensively. Injuries killed us.

As mad as Jerry has gone I will admit nice job on the dream team of defensive coaches. Now he has to address OC and GM.

I can assure you the GM role will stay the same.

I know that. Jerry will make all the "moves" in the world but the hard truth is that he remains the man with plan. I can at least hope he lucks himself into at least one superbowl run at some point. Hey, donks still win WSOP championships. That is for my poker playing friends.
