The early portion of the season could the moment of truth for Prescott and Lamb

[darthseinfeld]

Its very likely Gallup with miss some time at the beginning of the season. If we stand pat at WR in FA and the early portion of the draft, that makes James Washington our #2 WR to start the season. Washington had a career high of 44 catches three years ago, and 54 receptions combined the last two years.

We extended Prescott to a top tier QB deal, and we drafted Lamb in 2020 to eventually be our #1 WR. Prescott, at least in the early part of 2022, may have to be able to do more with less and/or make players better. Lamb is going to have to show what he can do as the focus of a defense. He will have to do that all year, but he will have alot more attention on him with Gallup out.

I really do agree with you about the start of the season. But I think the absolute “moment of truth” for this entire organization will happen when any kind of accountability happens to owner and son. Some kind of reckoning and change. Until then most “moments of truth” will be minor.

Well thats been talked about ad nauseum since time immemorial. They are going to run their organization in a middling way because they make a ton of money just keeping us barely relevant.

Their only "moment of truth" will be when the club starts being less profitable. I saw someone mention here a few weeks ago that they bought a Jayron Kearse jersey.....

Sure hope we can get back some semblance of a running game!!

For me that's the key to the offense. Asking what's left of the passing attack to carry the load will get them nowhere. I'm not sure they see it that way, unfortunately.

Dallas ain’t doing squat next year lol.

And yes.. The run game is vital but it’s not looking good right now.

This should be your avy given your posting style of the last 6 years

The Cowboys will be ok as long as the offensive line improves The Cowboys did not have any issues with Dak (early season player of the year candidate) until the calf injury and CeeDee was playing at pro bowl level early in the season. Let’s not fool ourselves, the Cowboys issues last season was the offensive line. Williams and Badzas play let us down as well as the injuries to Tyron and immaturity of La’el ultimately led to the Cowboys demise.

Yes, and world peace lol.

The start of the coming season will be quite interesting. If they start 1-4 who knows where it could go with the MM/Payton narrative?

Things could be 2010 quickly if the wrong things happen.

I think Washington is being undersold but we won't know until the rubber meets the road. You're not going to get it in this draft either. There are no Smith, Chase, or Waddle's in this years draft.

one area we've been consistently good at producing from obscurity or the trash heap is wr 3. I think washington will do plenty well

little premature for this. There’s still some WRs available via FA and we haven’t even had the draft yet.

Say whatever you want about my posting style but looking back it’s just a hard dose of reality. If you can’t see that then that’s on you.

 

[ESisback]

Even if Gallup’s not ready, we should be fine. Lamb, Washington, Noah Brown, Shultz, Pollard and Zeke—plenty of weapons if schemed properly. Besides, it’s too early to stress. They’ll likely pick up another FA and/or draft someone.

I worry more about LG.

No its openly being happy for failure. I just cant even try to take you seriously after that lol

That’s the key
If we can run the ball it opens up the play action
If we can protect better it gives guys who may have less talent a chance to get open
The oline is the real key to the offense
Being able to duplicate the turnovers of last year is key to defense and that’s gonna be hard to do. Diggs had a career year he’s not likely to match

 

[visionary]

“The moment of truth” has come and gone for Dak

He is who he is

I do expect them to start out gangbusters like last year and then fizzle out when it counts

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

Yep, they have done absolutely nothing to improve the running game. McGovern at LG and Steele at RT aren't a threat to make the running game better. Steele actually was a pretty decent run blocker, but so is Collins. No improvement at that spot and McGovern is a downgrade with an already weak C. Hard to believe that we couldn't find a masher at G....or move Collins there...I still don't understand that move unless there was a huge fallout between him and Dak or he did something to a cooach or someone in the Jones family. There were some decent center options in free agency for decent prices but now it looks like we have to count on the draft. THey have to nail this draft to get a starting OL, a starting level LB, and starter at WR and heavy rotation player at DE/DT.

 

[tyke1doe]

How many moments of truth have Dak had and does Dak get?

Take me serious or not.. I’ve been right all along.
