Orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr maybe this team hasn't improved much and objective people are just pointing that out?
This defense, as of now, is not very talented. The secondary is bottom 3 in the league, we have question marks at RDE and 1Tech, and who knows what LVE's status is. Still time to improve, and 7 draft picks isn't going to greatly alter this, but like I said, as we stand now, this defense is in trouble.
I know, I know. People who said Garrett was a great coach have now suddenly joined the Thank God he's gone crowd.
McCarthy will improve this team but he can't save this defense.
This team definitely is not better from a personnel standpoint than it was last year. But it isn't significantly worse either. This team won 8 games last year. They're right around there as things stand right now. This is going to boil down to coaching. Average coaching and this isn't a playoff team.
Minus adequate replacements for Quinn and Jones, this defense is currently worse.
I hope we hit nonstop home runs in the draft, but that is hardly a plan.
The negative Nancy's are going to love this.

The Cowboys defense was awful before the offseason began, and they seem intent on making it even worse in 2020! How about that? Two of their biggest contributors from a year ago -- pass rusher Robert Quinn and corner Byron Jones -- are gone. Sean Lee is back, despite his age and years of injury woes. They'd better hope Gerald McCoy makes a far more significant impact than he did in Carolina last year, or this thing might really crumble. Keeping Amari Cooper is nice, but wait until Dak Prescott is making $38M a year. It's going to limit the ability to do a few other things, and Jerry Jones has been paltry spending on payroll the last four years, anyway. They'd better have one helluva of a draft, and it had better lean decidedly to the defensive side of the ball. Their ability to stop anyone remains very much in question, and even all of the yards they rolled up a year ago were not enough to make them anything close to a contending team.

I'm much higher on HaHa. The kid can play. The safety market has been soft and quiet the past few years. Look how many years it took Tre Boston to get anything more than a one year deal.
In 2019, Collins, ET, Honey Badger, Joyner, Jackson and Amos all got paid decently.
In 2020, Jenkins is the only one who really signed for more than 6 million per year. Other highest paid guys are Eric Murray, (3 for 18), Adrian Phillips (2 for 6), Jeff Heath (2 for 6)
This is true. But they could’ve won 8 games last year without half the talent.I mean we went 8 and 8 and have lost much more talent than we've brought in....
See I told you.No, smart and objective people see that he's not far from the truth.
The team is worse on paper right now. Only a fool says otherwise.
We lost Quinn and have signed no one to replace him. We lost Jones and replaced him with Cannady? We lost Cobb and have no one really ready to step into that slot role.
I think the coaching changes make us better on D immediately.
He's judging FA in the second week? Typical from this guy!
