Numbers Don't Lie: Dallas Cowboys offense poised to explode in 2025

[NotForLong]

Yet Pickens isn't even a top 25 receiver. What makes him so special?

He is a head case that is worse then TO and Dez combined. At least now we have someone who will be verbal and not pout silently like CeeDee. Gonna be fun to watch the drama from the demise of the Dak

I got my blood stripes in Korea, you? Explain what those are!

Most of the members here have a hard enough time just trying to decipher your posts. And then you want to boast about your resume and pound your chest? Give it a rest.... no one here cares. This is a sports forum, not a military board where everyone talks about their accomplishments in an attempt to one-up each other.

For the record, every Marine knows what the 'blood stripes' are and how they're earned. Or are you ignoring the fact you are talking to a fellow vet?

Don't know so much about him being a head case, but I did look up his 2024 stats and he was average at best. I think he was in the top 30, but that isn't worthy of all the Jerry praise going around over the trade for him.

If Jerry had made a splash trade for a top 5 or 10 - THAT would have been worth something. But we all know Jerry will never do that.

I agree, a 9th or 10th best TE is "not bad".

But is "not bad" mean ALL PRO level?

And not 9th or 10th best TE NOW, but 2 years ago.

That's what this "author" said.

All Pro level. Glad you agree that that's homer hogwash.

Right. I think we should always try to get better and find All-Pros, and Ferguson has not been that so far. Of course, I'm glad we didn't address tight end in the draft this year. I admit that I wouldn't have been upset with us drafting Tyler Warren, but we had lot bigger concerns than tight end.

 

[gimmesix]

This is where the potential push at tight end is being dug out ...

Now, it appears he's getting ready to be the third tight end in the rotation, despite entering the pivotal third year. Accelerated growth from second-year UDFA Brevyn Spann-Ford could see him usurp Schoonmaker as TE2 behind Jake Ferguson. Spann-Ford already proved to be a better blocker, and if he confirms rumors of improved pass-catching prowess when training camp begins, it might be time to offload the former Michigan Wolverine.

https://cowboyswire.usatoday.com/st...e-luke-schoonmaker-consideration/84204653007/

Can't see us trading Schoonmaker because we need to carry three tight ends. Not only would Spann-Ford need to surpass him but one of the other UDFAs as well. Gotta have depth.

Plus, Ferguson will be a free agent next year and we may not want to move on from him rather than pay market value, like we did with Schultz. These tight ends are good not great, so we probably don't want to pay them like they are great.

But they don't understand. Look at the source of the story - is that an internal media site pushing out rainbows and sunshine in yet another attempt by Jerry and his lemmings to sell, sell, sell the hype and hopium? No one has a clue what this offense is going to look like until Sept 4.

I have been wanting to take a drive to the stadiums pro shop. See what they have for me not to buy.
Been a few years since I did that. And I live 6 miles from there.

I mentioned it to a friend the other day about going. Not to buy anything. But for something to do and get me out of the house other than normal stuff.

Thanks for the idea. But I may be cursing you once I get there.

This is the goofiest, nonsense, Jerry Jones endorsed article I've ever seen.

Jake Ferguson has played "at an all pro level"?

The dork puts the heights and weights of the OLiners up there, and somehow concludes the line that was getting bullied all year in the run game last year now is "ready to dominate"?

A GREAT article for the Zaney Zoners in here. They'llove it. They'll believe it.

Lap up the Stupid Sauce

Yup, the writer speaks of all this " proven progress" but outside of Pickens the article is filled with "ifs" and "maybes".....he points to the height and size of the offensive line as proof of their greatness in spite of their low low grade in run blocking.

This is the kind of fake news many of us dismiss

At the same time, would you not agree that both Tolbert and Turpin made huge improvements in their game?

On the contrary, numbers almost always lie in football.

For teams, summer is a time to shake off the rust and build momentum; for fans, it’s all about the hype. That’s been true for the Dallas Cowboys offense, but in this case, the numbers back up the excitement.

Yes, it’s a unit filled with big names and new toys, but the potential of the offense is very real. They are poised for a legitimate explosion this season.

How can I be so confident? It’s simple: the numbers do not lie.

Dallas’s front office, for all its flaws, has created an offensive depth chart that is filled with proven production and potential for more. If healthy, the statistics show a group that will far outpace their 2024 numbers. There is no doubt about it.

There are a few key examples of this, so let’s talk about them and what the numbers suggest about the Cowboys offense in 2025.

The concern is the Defense.

Not going to happen with the great overpaid, over hyped, less than mediocre Prescott winging it all over the playing field like the bottom-feeder he has turned into...............

 

[Stash]

It certainly is for me.

I think the offense is well-stocked and the special teams are among the best in the league.

But outside of pass rushers, I have a lot of concerns about the defense.

Huge? Turpin has been consistently effective here and his role here has never been in question but if we are to look at him as a receiver he had all of 12 receptions in 2023 and it only went up to 30 in 2024.....so hes just an ancillary player

Tolbert went from 300 yards to 600 yards from 2023 to 2024 ......he literally graded out 86 out of 98 receivers and again, just an ancillary player, but good for his 600 yards.

I'm more focused on the starting players that are on the field for the majority of the snaps since that's the true measure of a teams strength

Yet Pickens isn't even a top 25 receiver. What makes him so special?

In this case, I can see where Pickens will really thrive as being the #2 receiver here and not see as much double coverage.

I say that based on his propensity to come down with a good amount of 50-50 balls that he saw from really crappy Qbs in Pittsburgh.

His on the field behavior and the impending contract are really the only two things I see as challenges

And from 127 receiving yards up to 400.

Tolbert went from 300 yards to 600 yards from 2023 to 2024 ......he literally graded out 86 out of 98 receivers and again, just an ancillary player, but good for his 600 yards.

And from 2 receiving touchdowns to 7.

It sure seems like you’re making an effort to focus on the bad and ignoring the good.

Irs not like they're fielding a unit of Goliaths

I'd bet while they may be larger than the average NFL TEAM...that they're 3rd in size in their own division. Maybe not in height...but weight.

That's a guess though

Well, you specifically brought up these 2 players and for the record, Turpin is one of my favorite players on the team.

He stays hungry, never quits, devoid of ego and just plain loves the game of football. Hes a guy that every team would love to have a supporting role.

Tolbert though.......I dont share your enthusiasm and I dont believe the article even mentioned him at all.

If this offense explodes, it won't be because of Tolbert, but rather it will be because of the addition of Pickens who I believe is going to have a banner season.

So in conclusion, I gave 2 out of 3 examples of players that I either appreciate as Cowboys or WILL appreciate as a Cowboys player......pretty positive focus right there.

Agree.....but it was enough for the teenage intern that has been watching college football since 2018

Your quote mentions’proven progress’ so I thought I would give you two clear examples of proven progress.

I don’t disagree about Pickens, but explosive offenses need more than two receivers.

You don’t come across that way.
