Until the return of Zeke, expect to see a LOT of Chris Jones out there.

Since a lot of drives will be three-and-out and similar, and the Cowboys will still have one of the top 3-5 defenses in the NFL, it's imperative that Chris Jones has to have a great season doing his job, at least until/if Zeke comes back.

Agreed?

I don't think that's necessarily true. We have to see how Moore calls the game. It could be that Zeke or no Zeke opposing teams won't know what's coming, leading to longer drives and hopefully more points. edit: also when Cooper came on board the Cowboys started converted more third downs.

Moore is a better OC than Linehan, but none of us lived under a rock in the heart of the 2017 regular season. Three straight games without Zeke, the Cowboys scored in single digits for the whole game. 7, 9, and 6..... total stinkers. Two of those were at home. With the OL starting the season already somewhat banged up, a bottom-15 starting QB in tow, iffiness at TE and albeit a solid (upper half) receiving corps, the offense will struggle to move the ball and score.

Thanks for that dive into gibberish.

Once Zeke signs, we might get to discuss an actual football game on here.:laugh:
And what if that isn't until next year and with a different team? Will we never get to discuss football ever again then? Maybe association football?
