I can't quite put my hoof on it

The poor rushing defense had more to do with linebackers like Kenneth Murray and Jack Sanborn running away from the play or into the wrong gap in Uber-flush's defense and less to do with Quinnen Williams. He graded out extremely well after joining the Cowboys last season.

Exactly, and the defence was slightly less useless when Quinnen got here. I think the defence looks improved from last year.

Never take to much from preseason what happened to the undefeated preseason champs 4-0 Lions.

But you can get to 4-0 in the preseason and look bad doing it. The Cowboys look crisp.

Throw the wins and losses out the window. I am just looking how they play. Last year they looked sloppy and it carried over. Hopefully this team is developing good habits.

No doubt. But it just feels like, between the games, the way the offseason has been, and the reports from TC, that something feels like it's turning the right direction.

Of course, but are you doing an indepth assessment of the player acquisitions?

I like the player acquisitions and what Parker is doing for the D, but I’m not going to claim “this feels different / Jerry is doing it right” until we actually win some playoff games.

I mean, it's possible for things to feel different even without Jerry, no?

You can feel however you want. But our fandom is a meme for using phrases like that at the start of the season, only to continue the status quo of underachieving the last 30+ years.

“It feels different” followed by a 9-8 season would be the same old story.

That's certainly fair

Kudos to you for committing to the equestrian bit.

Thank you haha. That's kinda my role with my fursona haha.

Oh so you’re a full-on furry? I thought it was just for the forum.

Since you’re an expert, does Rowdy count as a furry?

Yeah, I'm a fully fledged furry lol. My pfp is my actual fursuit from when I was at MFF. I wore my suit at the draft lol.

I mean not technically? A furry is a fan of anthropomorphic animals. (A fursuit is not required to be a furry, but it is fun). Rowdy is not technically an animal, so, technically, he would not be considered a furry. If we had say, an anthropomorphic horse as a mascot, then that would technically be a furry.

Then again, anyone can be a furry. If you're a fan of a cartoon like Looney Tunes and you want to create a character based on that or have one of the characters as your own character or things like that, then you're a furry. Pretty much how that works as far as I know lol, and I've been a furry since 2012.
