Kelvin Banks Jr (Texas)​

Best - Pass Blocking
Banks’ combination of smooth footwork and refined hand techniques allow him to effectively neutralize various pass-rushing strategies. Banks demonstrates impressive quickness out of his stance, enabling him to gain depth on his kick slide and maintain balance against edge rushers. His adept hand usage, including a potent bait technique and strategic hand placement, disrupts timing and grants him control during engagements. These attributes make him a formidable presence in pass protection, capable of handling diverse defensive tactics.

Worst - Waist Bend
His most significant weakness lies in his tendency to bend at the waist and lunge during blocks, leading to balance issues and making him susceptible to being outmaneuvered by defenders. This limitation can hinder his ability to sustain blocks and effectively counter when run blocking.

You are bonafide 'butt'...try football instead of glamorizing your own self value. Do tell us all which lineman meets YOUR approval?

Why? :muttley: :flagwave::thumbup: You continually earn them.

Try football and not your own vanities.

I have liked Banks all along. He'll learn to run block top shelf.

To your face, I don't care if you like this the least... :popcorn: You are boycotting on a supportive Prescott thread. Nothing stated by you on being anything positive. Just go crying off... :hammer: (explain something real life positive, hell, anything!) :popcorn:

The Cowboys signed Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders this offseason. Both players struggled last season and may not be reliable enough to lead the backfield. Last season, the Cowboys had the sixth least rushing yards in the league and had just three runs of over 20 yards. The Cowboys could target a running back in the draft, but this trade with the San Francisco 49ers could land them one of the best players in the NFL:

  • Cowboys receive: running back Christian McCaffrey
  • 49ers receive: No.76 overall pick and 2026 third-round pick

Grant Cohn of San Francisco 49ers SI believes McCaffery could be traded at the trade deadline once the 49ers find out they don’t have the talent to contend.

Where there’s smoke, there is fire in most cases.

The 49ers could be in a re-build and getting rid of an aging player with a big contract could help them along the way.

Getting up to three third-round draft picks for McCaffery and his contract could be beneficial to both sides.

(He is still just 28)

Golden actually could serve as a realistic update for a Bob Hayes influence with another rock hard receiver in Lamb.

I'll pass.
 
Yet, looking back a little farther than just the past few years we can see plenty of good WRs were found in the second round. A.J. Brown, D.K. Metcalf and Deebo Samuel were all second-day picks who turned into gamechangers. It seems the lesson to learn is that scouting matters and just because a team uses a pick on a high WR doesn’t mean he’s going to produce high-draft-pick results.

If the Cowboys have to adjust their strategy because a steal fell into their laps at No. 12, they shouldn't feel obligated to force WR on Day 2 nor should they feel scared to pick one there. Even if the need is glaring, forcing a pick can deliver disastrous results. Next year’s draft looks strong at WR so waiting a year wouldn’t be the end of the world. At the same time if they truly believed in a specific second or third round WR, they shouldn’t be scared of picking him simply because the bust rate has been high as of late.

His protection and the run blocking have to improve.

Another top receiver to push potentials to high production levels requires a producing 2nd receiver. No one on roster looks to step up but just in a member of group level. To push defense back, a cheaper drafted receiver is needed. Not a quiet the crowd noise free agent. Target a receiver with elite speed and plug him into the offense for five years.

Cost effect improves and a reliable game day solution that hits the carpet.

The running back roster is just weak. That talent level needs a true injection that will keep opponent linebackers on their heels. Offense wins games now and so does productive passing. Both offensive tackles have to pass block and this not a convience, further. Here and now or bring back Smith for an only immediate use. He would be a band aide last resort remedy.

No, it's not Dak. They have to be led and accountability still flows from the top. Real problems have to still be solved on the level of the problems. Not name calling and 30 year old calendars.

I had long-held this view too. Unlike others, I do understand the validity of bringing up the MVP runner-up point, because most people on here act like he shouldn't even be in the league. You don't start for the Dallas Cowboys as a 4th round draft pick for almost a decade and be the runner up in the MVP race if you are as bad as most make him out to be.

But on the same token, how can anyone refute the fact that he's been a loser in the biggest moments? He has not elevated this roster. He also spoke out of both sides of his mouth with the money stuff. That rubbed many, including me, the wrong way. I understand the NFL being a business, etc., and I would not respond well to someone telling me I should take less for my skillset at my job so my life is easier. But, I also do think in this context, his situation is an anomaly in terms of being the QB of the Cowboys. Yes, the entire team has fallen flat, especially in the GB game. But we can never, ever rely on Dak to put the team on his shoulders and win. Everything has to be perfect for him, and then maybe he won't get the deer in headlights look against good teams when it matters. Maybe. He's lost his mobility and he seemed extra shook between the ears last year.

Now, all THAT said, I know what you are saying. We've seen him make all the throws that the best of the best make. We've seen him play at a level that's gotten him the MVP discussion multiple times. And, as I said earlier, you don't have one of 32 starting jobs in this league for almost a decade as a fluke. So, as a Cowboys fan, I still root for him to turn it around. That's the difference in most ant-Dak posters and real fans. As much as some will say people are Dak over Cowboys fans, I truly believe there are a select few who would secretly vote for the Cowboys not to win the SB if it meant Dak finally playing up to standards because they've become anti-Dak over Cowboys fans. But at this point you can't blame anyone for wanting Dak gone, especially after this last contract and his play pre-injury last year. I'm sick of his one liners, sick of his platitudes, and just want to see him talk with his play, and I've tried defending him more than most. The front office is doing a terrible job of team building and are certainly giving him easy excuses, but it doesn't change the fact that even when he has the weapons he doesn't produce, i.e. both SF playoff losses and the GB game. The one playoff game he's really elevated the team in was the win against Seattle back in (I think) 2018, and somewhat his rookie year against GB when the defense fell flat. That's nowhere near enough.

The Head Coach that for the first time in NFL history that led his team to 3 consecutive win seasons...also formed an unfocused and game changing burdens starting in the beginning of games. The team then gave up opportunity and fell straight behind. That changing game changing alternatives. Game changes and time of possession fell off the positive ledgers.

Undisciplined teams.

No, you are full of crap...crawl behind your 30 year calendar and continue the crap talk.

2016 and YOU can't explain that away or 3 consecutive 12 win seasons. Jerry's team was cheated by the referee.

350 pound hogs are smarter than YOU. Know how to load that hog? Anyway he wants you to do it!

The rest was explained above.
 
The most significant addition to the offensive line was not a player, but two of the best offensive line coaches in the NFL and NCAA, who are now on the Cowboys’ staff.

Offensive Coordinator Klayton Adams and Offensive Line Coach Conor Riley will have this offensive line playing top-notch football.

These two coaches and a young, hungry offensive line group will lead to a top ten unit.

This offensive line will consist of a second-year player at left tackle, a two-time Pro Bowler at left guard, an underrated second-year center, a mean right guard, and an underrated right tackle.

Prediction 3: Dak Prescott Will Join the 5,000-Yard Club​

Dak Prescott was injured early last season when his hamstring was torn from the bone. He has rehabbed, lost weight, and looks ready to go in 2025.

The 5,000-yard club has nine members, but will see a tenth added in 2025.

Dak Prescott’s closest season to reaching this milestone was 2023, when he threw for 4,919 yards. He was close in 2021, also, with 4,703 yards. Both of these seasons had something in common.

Dak Prescott was coming off an injury from the year before. Prescott is looking good, has lost weight, and is ready to join the 5,000-yard club.
