I’d prefer we have 53 players make the superbowl cause if we don’t and have a roster full of probowlers we have a roster full of loaded contracts to consider lol
I actually think the Cowboys will win the NFC East and here is why....
..(1)- The Eagles won the Superbowl and now have issues that will make them implode. Nic Foles vs Carson Wentz.Wentz is the future and the franchise. Anytime he loses a big game the Eagles fans will be screaming for Foles. We the Cowboys are the powder keg kryptonite for a Philly QB controversy if we beat them twice in the season....Jay Ajayi was traded away for a reason from Miami for almost nothing,he is a cancer. Now add Michael Bennett who has to go to court for assaulting 3 security guards and 2 are female and 1 of them is in a wheelchair all the media PR baggage.Every team will be gunning for them as the Champs and we know Eagles choke more than anyone,last year was a lucky break. If Brady had more time the Pats win that trophy last year ....
.(2).The Giants have this WIN NOW and thinking they put all the pieces in place.WRONG! Eli Manning is an enigma and no franchise QB for the future. Davis Webb is horrible,he reminds me of Luke Falk .Webb's arm is weak and he will eventually lose out the Laudetta as 2nd string but now they have to go through the progressions. They have a new coach and really did not improve the pass rush like they wanted too. Nate Solder is overrated as a LT who was helped by Brady. Tom Brady has a fast quick release vs Manning who is mechainical and slow. Odell Beckham might have to answer for that drug photo and if I was Dallas I would be spinning a Beckham suspension as much as possible in the media even just to make it a media distraction for them.Eli Apple was horrible at CB last year and looks like a potential bust. Janoris Jenkins showed no heart last year and that should carry over as a team drag on morale type selfish lazy player. Also the possibility to add Dez Bryant looks ideal on paper with ODB jr but will be a locker room soap opera drama between these divas which will kill the team.
(3)-Commanders are the Commanders and they think they upgraded from Cousins to Alex Smith??? Derrius Guice dropped for a reason,rumored to be a poor practice player and now you just gave him a big money contract to motivate him? What from not eating? ..So they got DaRon Payne and teams with Jonathan Allen.Great you now have 2 Marcus Spears type players. not much room to grow and get better. Most all of Bama d-linemen are just average players in the Pros vs their hype. No solid #1 WR,little improvement in the draft.The Skins come up Bland again.
OK Cowboys Pro Bowl Predictions
QB- Dak Prescott-Prescott bounces back with a better o-line and Ezekial Elliott back. Cowboys are going back to basics and getting physical with run first option pushing teams around eating the time of possession up again.
RB-Ezekiel Elliott-Should be back and have a big chip on his shoulder for all the BS from last year and Roger Goodell
TE-Rico Gathers-He will make people forget about Jason Witten. We have a TE that can stretch the field and is a redzone threat anytime near the goaline.
WR-Tavon Austin should be ticked and motivated, traded away just for a 6th round pick. He is a talented player,but he needs help around him. He has help all around him now. Big WRs Hurns,T.Williams,speedy WRs Beasley & Thompson and Elliott keeping teams honest
The whole O-line-T.Smith,C.Williams,Fredrick,Martin,and Collins-If the Cowboys coaches play the smart way I can see the whole starting 5 making the pro bowl
DE-Demarcus Lawrence-realized his potential last yearl and should keep it up this season and add better pass rushers to help. Randy Gregory comes back and hungry,Taco Charlton wanting to prove himself.Tapper and Armstrong fighting for that last spot.
DT-David Irving-Irving at times can dominate and I believe he will continue to get better and he joins Lawrence.
LB-Jaylon Smith-It takes 2 years average to fully recover from a knee injury. It has been 2 years and with Cowboys drafting Vander Esch that should motivate Smith to play LIGHTS OUT.
K-Dan Bailey-Rebounds and gets his pro bowl spot back....
Ya!,,,when I first cast a glance at it when our season ended last year,I saw another .500 avg. Rankings in 18,,,although, I was rather deflated in the sq.' Of canvas sails area at that time,alsoOnly thing I disagree on is the schedule this year is harder than last year for sure.
That is why Jaylon Smith will be fending LVE off and be playing LIGHTS OUT!!Lve should be the mlb. He has the perfect build for it. He can react faster than jaylon also.
We play three of those teams in the first five games so we'll see how they domake Dak beat them with his arm. A lot of defenses don't have the talent up front to pull it off, but the good ones - like Philly, Seattle, Carolina, Jacksonville, New York, Houston, do. That's where he has to improve and step up or else the season could be in jeopardy.
Got me hyped to see what Gathers can do!All the Rico Gathers naysayers., Gathers is 6ft-6inches and 285 lbs and just watch the last preseason and you should see what I see in Gathers. Fast enough at 4.7,soft hands,and he is a mismatch to any safety or LB in the NFL. He I believed got robbed last season by coaches keeping him on IR so OLD MAN Witten can be the Captain of the team. Hard to be the leader when a hotshot youngster pushes you to 2nd string and on the bench. Why did Witten retire? He won't be able to hold off Gathers this year....... You have Elliott being a weapon with a very good o-line set now. You have tall targets Hurns and T.Williams on the outside,Austin,Beasley.and Thompson taking the top off the defense and here is a TE big as a house,who can run and has soft hands. Yes Cowboys are going to be lethal on offense.
Being big and tall is not a prerequisite for being talented. And the game is much more nuanced than just being able to catch. He is like a baby being taught a new language all while being head hunted by guys who have done this everyday of their lives. And lol for using the pre season for what you think he’ll be. The guys he went against are now selling insurance.All the Rico Gathers naysayers., Gathers is 6ft-6inches and 285 lbs and just watch the last preseason and you should see what I see in Gathers.

We'll set the record for probowlers and get blown out in the 1st rd by Rodgers and CoWith that many pro bowleres we better win the East.....and more.
We will go as far as our coaches. The talent is there.
But the game of football is all about numbers. So we use the tools at our disposal.
Anyway, I not sure some of you understand just how much of a crossroads the Cowboys are at.
You are NOT in win now mode. But you should be. You have a very small window of opportunity to make things happen while paying your QB pennies.

With a little help from the refs. You know the Ghost of Vince Lombardi watches over the Pack and they can't lose to Dallas in the next ICE Bowl and BLAH BLAH BLAH about the Packers. Aaron Rodgers should get the Congressional Medal of Honor for sitting in the green room during the draft. I hate the drippy NFL lines they spew. No team is great unless they can beat Dallas in their eyes..We'll set the record for probowlers and get blown out in the 1st rd by Rodgers and Co
