Cowboys problem is we have no system

[Haimerej]

90% of everything you said about him was dead wrong. These little comments about needing to develop are common sense things that every rookie needs to grow with. The difference is you thought he would never improve.

Dont worry little guy, you got it wrong.

At least I was man enough to admit that my "Bold prediction" probably would have been wrong anyway even without the injuries.

You have no idea. Not once did I say he'd never improve and I've acknowledged his improvement as his career has progressed. I just believed Romo deserved a shot.

Immature....mental midget whayever word you want to use I dont want those players. I wont even address him supposedly getting better. But when did we have one of the better defenses? What year was this

2016.

 

[Haimerej]

I have no problem admitting my prediction would have most likely been wrong regardless of injuries and Gregory not being reinstated till later.

AS you stated, I cant be right EVERY time. It was a stupid prediction anyway. No chance any front 7 can be one of the best with Jaylon in the middle.

So now you think Jaylon was the problem? You're definitely one to jump on the lazy narratives around here.

So after the Cowboys won 11 in a row with Dak you want to go back to Romo? You put Romo back in?

2016.

Stop. That was more bend dont break nonsense. And they were carried by zeke taking away time of possession

Jaylon is one of the big problems.

DT was the huge issue for me going into the offseason. They addressed that with McCoy and Poe. Loved MCoy. And they also moved LVE into the middle and Jaylon outside, which I had been saying for a few years. Gregor I really like as a talent and with him and Aldon thought it would be set over there.

That was my reasoning. Once the injuries happened I was quickly off that wagon. Not sure the confusion here.

Its like you tried to find something I was actually wrong about and this was all you could find.

And clearly you have been saving this post off to the side for when you could use it and baiting me every chance you got. LOL

Yes. That's what I advocated for and I caught a lot of blowback. It was obvious that the offense was limited with Dak compared to what they were doing the previous seasons with a healthy Romo. I still think benching Romo blew their last chance to make significant noise in the playoffs.

The Cowboys system is to try to recreate the 90's dynasty. Is that really a secret? Big o line, big names at QB, RB and WR and a 4-3 defense.

The problem is that the early 90's cowboys' system was rather mediocre and was only successful due to overwhelming talent. That's not going to be possible to replicate in the salary cap era.

Someone posted that a while back and I got a kick out of reading through it. You stuck out because you're belligerent with other posters and call anyone who disagrees, "troll." If I actually tried to find something I'm sure I could.

But back to the topic-

What made you think LVE would be a good MLB in a 3-4? When I heard they wanted to move to a 3-4 I thought, "they don't have a NT or LB to play the middle." Both Jaylon and LVE are suited to play WLB in a 4-3. They can run sideline to sideline. They're not good at reading plays or stacking and shedding. So I'm not sure why you pat yourself on the back wanting to move LVE to that position. He graded out lower than Jaylon this year.

We spend assets on big athletic OL most years, big WR and TE with good not elite speed.

We have spent assets on pass rushers long and quick, big athletic LB, and big corners.

We have emphasised offense we just been designed to be dynamic and overwhelming.

The defense is obviously been designed to press corners and rush the passer.

The problem hasn't been that there's no vision. The problem has been misses in free agency and inconsistency drafting defense.

We have a new defensive system that we will get to see next season and a lot of draft picks to try to make up ground.

It just seems that people don't know what they're looking at.

You know who doesn't have an identity as well, Tampa.

"We had to look ourselves in the mirror and challenge ourselves on who we wanted to be," White said, via ESPN's Jenna Laine. "Everybody always asked what was our identity. We didn't have an answer. But Coach BA had an answer. He said, 'We're some mother-f-----s who are gonna find a way to win the game."

Also to be honest I don't think our defense as void of talent as many think. 3-4 players in the middle of the defense from front to back., I feel would make this defense competitive enough to compete for a championship. A stud D-Lineman in free agency or trade, a little better than average(good) free safety in free agency, a little better than average(good) MLB in free agency. Use your 1st 3 picks on D. and lets playball

No system, no GM, and bad culture

 

[Mobinvans]

A team of identity is defined beforehand by the GM who hires the HC and picks the players to fill it or he allows the HC to define the identity.

This GM has allowed the HC to define it twice, once when he bought it and once when he needed to get the stadium deal.

The Joneses do not have a plan, they develop it after each season ends and it is dependent on that season.

Yup, truth right there

I believe 100% “most”of our problems is we have no system or identity....

What is a Cowboy?....I don’t know, no clue

We draft all over the place and very inconsistent in what sort of team we are trying to build

I honestly have no idea what type of team Jerry is trying to build....is it a good defense like Baltimore always has?...(yea right)...is it a good offense like the Saints always have?...NO CLUE

Cowboys problem is we have incompetent people in the FO.

Our problem is we can't change plays at the line of scrimmage like good teams do.

See, that’s positive! Not wanted here, I guess. Maybe I’d be more deadly serious and more angry if this actually affected my livelihood, or if my opinion meant anything to anyone besides my family and friends.

Hire Jimmy Johnson, as GM. This team will immediately begin to shape into a winning culture. Jerry Jones, was GM and Owner, of three Superbowls. Jimmy Johnson, was integral in each of those wins. JImmy gone, championships gone. Barry Switzer, did win; but all he had to do was put the dish in the microwave and wait for the "Ding."

There it is, good point.
Jones boys have no plan, they just patch and fix things.
The new patch for 21 is the DC and DL coaches. They extended kellen the boy genius, so they think he is all the offense needs.
He will out scheme every team!
They will let some players go [fa's], but keep many if they sign a cheap deal lol. It isnt about do they fit or are they good, it is about how cheap are they??

Our defense has no identity other than hot boyz, and what the heck does that even mean ??
They have nothing to live up to or strive for other than their celebrations when they do something good.
( I am so sick of seeing players run to endzone and do something childish, even in games they wind up losing lol)

Our offense was a run based offense, but that collapsed when murray would not sign a cheap deal, so they got elliot, which was good for one year.
now our OL is old and beat up, nvg anymore, so they are going to be a pass 50 times a game team, air kellen.
that is why paying elliot top pay was just insane, because the offense was no longer a run based offense.

I think they may not know which one they are lol pass or run or balanced, and kellen he just picks plays out of a hat, there is no game plans.
He ran 37 times 1 game, they won, and the next week it was like 19 runs, they lost lol and then they say they need to execute and get better lol

Jerry still holds a grudge with jimmy, and he would have to throw a lot of money at him to tempt him. And even then he might not take it.
but for 100 mil for 2 years he might do that.
But then see jimmy would get all the credit and make jerry look like the fool he is, so that will never happen.
