I’ll go into Philly on a Thurs night and take my chances with Elam & Bland out on an Island chasing Brown & Smith around the Linc . It’s what can the Cowboys bring to the table at nickel the slot the extra DB’s you might want to throw out there to confuse Hurts that’s concerning . Darn shame a guy like Jourdan Lewis is out of town in witness protection in Florida .

Look Caelon Carson was talked up last draft then pre season he just might be the type of corner who’s better in the slot covering WR3 then out on an Island chasing the big guns .


Troy Pride Jr is another name to watch I noticed he was always not to far from the play last pre season . Jobs are wide open at Corner , welcome to Dallas coach Overstreet the clock is ticking .
 
Elams first round talent emerges.

Revel shows starting CB ability.

Let Bland walk. Cut Diggs. Invest cap savings in DT room.

Take over NFL. I see it. I know it.
 
How has Carson been looking? I haven’t seen any reports on him.

Hopefully Revel is ready to go by week 1. Honestly Bland, Elam and Revel could be a solid trio.

I’m not going to say I agree that Bland and Elam will shut those two down, but in your scenario what worries you is Jahan Dotson?

No what worries me is after Bland & Elam if Revel & Butler aren’t on the trip who’s going in for Eberflus . Carson had a horrible rookie year . It’s probably time for Mukuamu to take a stand and justify his on going roster spot .

But what I’m saying is they are covering Dotson and his 19 receptions from last year. The issue is AB and then Smith to some degree so the 3rd CB against Philly is less meaningful if those two match up as you assume in your first post

Eagles get real thin by their 3rd CB in comparison and that's healthy. Kelee Ringo is either their left corner or slot depending on where they have Cooper. Adoree Jackson is probably their fourth corner unless their 5th round rookie McWilliams beats him out. A bunch of undrafted types fill out the rest.

Two competent hopefully healthy corners against Philly not enough . Cowboys were spoiled to have Lewis in these situations .
 
Quality depth is a luxury.

and as Dallas has seen too often, quality depth at CB is an absolute must. Gonna have to keep as many good players on the roster. decent CBs don't grow on trees and pickings are likely to be slim after season starts
