Very early rankings appear to be a big improvement!

Hunter Luepke records the first receiving touchdown of his NFL career
Just a day before the Cowboys opened their 2025 season against the Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas extended the contract of their fullback, Hunter Luepke. The 25-year-old, who saw his role in the offense greatly increase last season, signed a two-year deal worth up to $7.5 million.

After this news dropped, many figured Luepke would have an even more significant role in Dallas’ offense this upcoming season. So far, that has not been the case. The fullback is yet to touch the ball on offense this season, playing just 22 snaps in Dallas’ two games.

This week, Dallas will need some extra physicality on offense in a big spot, and they’ll turn to their fullback to bring it. Luepke hauls in a touchdown pass from Dak Prescott late in the fourth quarter, giving the Cowboys the lead and propelling them to a win.

They definitely look more focused, Giants game could have been tighter. After two games I am more into this season than last.
 
Remember the red zone stats from last year, Cowboys were either dead last or 2nd to last on both sides of the football. After 1st two weeks they are:

-11th in red zone defense
-16th in offense

You could make an argument, the won and lost the 1st two games just with this stat. Last week they stopped the Giants twice on downs, in a 3 pt win that is the difference.
Need to get up into the top 10 on offense.

You might as well let go.
 
I don’t understand why the Cowboys have Sanders on the roster. He’s a liability.

I didn’t think that Williams had anything left in the tank, but he has been a pleasant surprise. Make no mistake—he is not an elite runner—but he is at least serviceable which is more than I expected.

I’m ready to see what Blue and the other rookie bring to the party.
They have him to give Williams a rest and still be able to protect Dak with a veteran presence. It also allows them to bring fresh legs in later in the season when they will be needed.
 
Cowboys scored a total of 6 rushing TDs last season. Williams has 3 after two games.

That RedZone stop by Thomas then Murray allowed us to win the game. It was good defense when we needed it..

Biggest thing is to play clean football, no penalties, no negative plays and certainly no turnovers. That Philly loss could had a ton to do with that sanders fumble
 
I was thinking of a new approach.

Trade away the offense and spend all money on the best defenders.

Then the offense just needs to get within Aubrey's range. They could do thar with a minimum wage offense.

They could afford a top 3 player at each defensive position if they spent minimal on offense.
All kidding aside, all the rules favor the offense and are against the defense. Playing good defense in today’s game to making teams kick fg’s and creating turnovers. I think it is more important to have an offense that can control the football and score td’s on time consuming drives.

Me too.

Give Blue the football.
 
Well I think that their way of thinking is Williams didn't have any preseason and when you're this early in a season you can't give them 30 carries yet you want to ease them into it I'm not sure if you can handle 30 carries but I would like a few more carries but Sanders just waste of space falling forward for three yards in between that one big play in the fumble there's been nothing it's time to bring up Blue and I'll take Malik Davis over him guys got more wiggle and speed what you need is a change of pace back somebody to make the defense go chase after they got banged on by Williams...

Point being I think they'll increase his workload over time.... No need no need to wear him out or get him hurt... That's why I'd like a better backup because I want those six to 8 carries to be more productive not just giving our guy a blow...
Yup.

And JWil/sanders slow.

Like 4.6:40 slow
