There’s something wrong with us

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

I could go into details, but its probably too complicated for you.

I can tell you that Zeke it will 100% be dependent on the Oline play. He has little abilities on his own if there arent monster holes. I can also tell you either way that he wont be worth 18 million whatever he does. I can also tell you the odds of the Oline being great all year are around 50% on the high end.

Dak will also be dependent somewhat on the Oline. Now Dak can have a great year without a great run game, but he would need the line to pass block well. Probably not going to happen if the line doesnt run block well, however.

If the line is healthy and having a good season then the offense and the team should have a good year.

Injuries are hard to predict.

LVE? If he doesnt get injured he will maintain his slightly above JAG type efforts.

Then there is the coaching element. Will Moore continue to run Zeke up the middle or will he use Pollard much more and feature him more? Hard to predict these type of things. Featuring Pollard more would really help the offense. My guess is he will continue to feature Zeke.

And finally...............NO! They will ALL not have a great year.

Too complicated?

The offensive line needs to play at peak levels. The team needs to stay healthy. And Pollard needs to be more involved.

I just said everything you said in three sentences. Not complicated at all. But, I bet you hope all of those things come true... Now don't you? So, your game plan for the season, is hoping the team plays better. How is that...too complicated?


I'm just picking with. Having a little fun. No need to respond. I'm Just kidding.

Yah, I was being intentionally dense because I thought that was what you were doing.

As far as the op, it didnt sit well with me. Hope is a given, we all hope. Pointless to say we hope. Even the haters hope. They just hope for different things.

Talking about how good or bad things are or who sucks and who doenst is the nuts and bolts of sports talk and fandom.

When you listen to sport radio, who are the most boring callers? ITs that guys taht go "duh, lets go Cowboys, I hope were gonna win it all this year....bye"

Its about discussions, good or bad. Reality. Just because someone says Dak sucks or Zeke sucks doesnt mean doom and gloom. Thats something a homer would say.

If we suck we suck, no harm in saying it. Reality is what it is. We all hope the Cowboys do great. Its redundant to have to say it.

And I’ll continue to think the way I think, without apology. Hope is a given. Sorry the word bores you so much you have to ramble on and on forever about the uselessness of the concept. Or is it a need to have the last word, to put a finishing exclamation point on it, to counter every opinion you disagree with? There are so many things that are “a given”, and hope is one of them. Don’t you ever tire of the Dak debate or the ongoing Zeke is done shtick? So what if a fan says “I hope Zeke has a bounce back year”? Or “I hope Dak throws five TD passes against Philly”?

Now understand --- and on board with your view.
Subtractions of notable veterans - Cedric Wilson Jr., Conner Williams, Randy Gregory, Amari Cooper, La`el Collins...just for starters.

Its a hit, but sometime its addition by subtraction.
I leave Ced Wilson out of the group, but what did all the rest have in common?

Yeah, I think Wilson was a loss. I think Cooper was too—the old Cooper, not the one from the second half of last year. I hope Washington and Tolbert contribute enough to make up the slack. I think with an improved OL and a healthy Zeke, we’ll run better, which will help the passing game. I think we upgraded at LG, too, but we’ll see.

Virtually everything has SOMETHING redeemable. Unsweetened oatmeal is edible, but half gallon dishes every morning? The whole jist of this thread is the ENDLESS crying about the same four or five players, and how useless it is.

You've obviously never the film THINGS.
Not The Thing.
Things.

Watch it and come back to me.

Im not calling anyone out, just want somebody to answer the question, its an honest question.
What did all of our departures have in common other than Wilson?

[Cowboys1fan]

I hope Dak has a GREAT year!
I hope Zeke has a GREAT year!
I hope LVE has a GREAT year!
I hope they all have a GREAT year!

I don’t care if I’m “right”!

I care about the Dallas Cowboys!

Lve? Wishful thinking he did okay last year. Look for jabril to take his spot.. Damone Clark is a freak also redshirting

O.K, I give up.
Between deep discussions on the nature of happiness and the importance or futility of hope and the self-defeating nature of arguing against argument, My brain is over-taxed.
What do Those mentioned have in common?

Not worth the money for what they give us—results versus mental. According to SJ.

Cant wait to get everyone healthy, seems like Cox is in line to show up, I havent seen any reports stating otherwise, mainly because there is basically zero info thats current.
We will start to define the status on some of our recovering players, but you are hitting the nail with the hammer when this backfield can someday rather soon be sporting Parson Cox and Clark in the back seven all together.
That is going to be some serious crazy speed and hitting coming from that formation.
IF we get lucky and hit with some others like Kearse, Muk, Bell, Bland, Harper... thats a few of the young bucks that need to get stashed if they dont crack the 53.
Peeps think this defense is a joke are fooling themselves.
