The mistake of putting everything on the skill position players

[kskboys]

You are right who needs a stud TE. I suggest you watch film on Warren. I would take Jeanty if he is there. Plenty of Dline in the draft. Can get dline help in free agency or later in the draft. Jeanty and Rico would be a good one two punch.

And I suggest you watch film on the super bowl and what the Philly DLine did to KC and Mahomes. Kelce was rendered ineffective, which is what a great DLine can do for you.

We don't need "plenty of DLine", we need two studs.

Jeantty and Rico will be rendered ineffective w/o fixing the DLine.

And the Dline fix you are proposing? That's what we've been doing, and it's why we've been losing in the playoffs. How in the world is it even possible to miss the fact that our DT combo sucks, and that great DT combos are a much bigger factor in super bowl appearances than TE's? It's just weird.

BPA BPA BPA in the draft.

Fill in holes via FA.

Huh. How is Jeanty and Rico ineffective w/o fixing the Dline. That makes no sense. Unless, in a scrimmage.

So tell me…why do you complain so much about other people’s opinions on a Cowboys opinion forum? It just makes zero sense to me. Even ironic. Constantly showing up in a thread to cry about “what this site used to be.” Maybe offer something different.

Disagree with my Cowboys opinion? I welcome it. Whining about people’s right to express their opinion in a thread is the opposite of what this place is all about. Honestly, I think you are better than this.

He doesn't have to always support lies, cheating, stealing credability and certainly not those who do.

YOU stereotype and throw in insults. Football is about people, not YOUR power.

He actually understands the sport and how it's leadership handles sport technique constructively.

Ask him about bull in the china closet on toughness, why don't you?

well, you are trying to play a 78 on a 33 turntable

Where did jazz enter the picture? Know bee bop and when it changed through country western ... cough up you don't understand. Know why bee bop arose? No. heroine to cocaine was not the indicator you know not about either!!!

Once upon a Time long long ago before you were born there was no SITE.
THE COWBOYS WERE SO DOMINANT THAT THE EAGLES ONLY WON TWO GAMES against us IN A 10-YEAR SPAN.
They had a horrible owner and we were America's team the franchise that every team modeled after and wanted to be.

Now things have done a complete 180 we have the horrible owner and they are the team that teams are modeling their franchises after.
So while the eagles happen to be in our division and our winning Super bowls at our expense and our owner still has his head up his behind as far as building the team goes and coaching it I'm afraid you're going to hear a lot of talk about the eagles and probably the Commanders also.

Andy Reid didn't come around soon enough and they loved cheap shot football before that for sport. Yea, go figure now.

wow you really have no clue what I was talking about.
No surprise.

Because if you can't stop the other team, a TE and RB will not matter at all. Think, man. D is what puts you in the super bowl.

Yes, we need a Rb, no doubt. However, unless we start putting a lot more focus on the DLine, the RB won't matter.

This might be the worst answer ever given on this site. Just amazingly off.

Once again, I completely agree with you Bobhaze! The philosophy of using your scarcest draft capital on positions that are hardest to fill makes sense to me. I do believe the Cowboys need to do exactly as you describe. But I’m afraid the Cowboys will fall for the Jeanty trap. Jeanty would be a great acquisition and whoever drafts him will be a better team for it. But for now the Cowboys just need to keep hitting the trenches hard!

Jeantty w/o fixing the DT position means we're another year away. Hey, if he turns out to be the next Walter Payton, great, good player for the year.

However, nothing we do will matter until we fix the DLine. And then LB. Those are the biggies. But, I'm sure, as usual, Jerry has no clue and will get some more flash so we can finish 8-9.

Correctamundo!

There are other backs that can do the job after the 1st round.

Who said we are not fixing the Dline too. This is a deep draft for line help from what I read. You also have free agency.

Said Parcells, passing on Stephen Jackson.

Your song and dance never gets beyond stupid as if any one buys you. Never missed your meanings at any point.

What did YOU say?

You say Jerry, Jerry, Jerry with directed stereotyped insult.

This is what Jimmy Johnson just quoted:

From a roster construction standpoint, the Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles have been compared a lot recently in terms of how they've gone about building their respective teams. Both are in different situations in terms of cap and positional need but share common ground in keeping their best players around.

"I think every team has got unique problems as far as paying their players, whether or not it be star players or trying to build a roster," Johnson said. "Both of them have approached it the right way as far as keeping their great players."

When it comes to acquiring the players that Johnson prided himself on, a big box to check during the evaluation process was how much knowledge each prospect had on the game. "I wanted smart football players," Johnson said. "You look at the very first draft I had at the Dallas Cowboys, we had four academic All Americans. Troy Aikman, Mark Stepnoski, Darryl Johnston, Tony Tolbert. "Smart players is one thing, and then obviously they've got to be talented, but playmakers, gym rats, people that love the game, that's what I look for."

Can't fix the DLine w/ mid/late round picks. Who in FA are you saying we are going to sign? Average DT's are the biggest reason we can't win in the playoffs. Don't need a cheap DT, need topnotch DTs.

I don't mind Jeantty in the 1st if he's really that good, but every year we do this, put off getting the DTs we need because we just HAVE to have some flashy skill position player. As long as we keep doing that, we're just not going anywhere.

Why was Philly in the super bowl and why did they win? They took Jordan Davis w/ the 13th pick in the draft in 22, then followed it up by trading up to take Jalen Carter w/ the 9th pick in the draft. Do you have any idea how many highly regarded skill position players they passed up to take these two? And gave up a pile of picks to move up for Jalen.

That's how you win, not by taking RBs/CBs/WRs/TEs consistently w/ your 1st/2nd round picks. As Philly did it, the RB and CBs were the icing on the cake.

What Law School or Unniversity did you accomplish...toughie. Come on after me with your 'charges.'
As to your value on procedure or correctness.

Best man available or a cry baby doubt?

Recent history shows that investing early round draft capital can make a huge difference in your offense. In the last three Pro Bowls, 18 of the 21 running backs selected have been first or second round picks. If you expand that filter to the last six seasons, 32 of the 40 Pro Bowl running backs were picked in the first two rounds.

Saquon Barkley of the Philadelphia Eagles, the second overall pick in 2018, just became the ninth player in NFL history to surpass 2,000 single-season rushing yards in his seventh year in the league.

Round 1, Pick 12: Ashton Jeanty, Boise State​

The clear-cut best running back prospect in the class, and a name that has been connected to the Cowboys early and often in mock drafts, with Jeanty himself even saying that playing for the Cowboys would be "a dream come true."

 

[cowboyec]

lotta times you get your qb killed.
inside out.
thats the way.

 

[LACowboysFan1]

Hold it. That's what you were doing!!!

What's funny is that in a thread about us putting too much emphasis on the skill positions, you want to take a skill position early!!! You can't make this stuff up!!!!

If we keep on drafting skill position players early, we are never going anywhere, that is a fact. If we are dumb enough to take a TE in the 2nd w/ huge glaring needs at DT, DE, LB, OL, and RB, then we deserve to lose. You want to throw a 5th at one? Sure, whatever, that's fine. We can get Fergie part deux!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Calm down, dude, sorry you don't like my view, but that's life.

Did you miss my statement "I'd be considering a trade."? Where did I say draft a TE, especially early? I didn't. Just posing a viewpoint, and some options, nothing to get upset about.

Think we'd better leave this alone; you're getting way to agitated....
