Its been awhile, life(work) sometimes gets in the way of time.
I see some worried about the injuries, but this team has depth. Gallup will be missed but Moore is doing such a good job in the scheme that whoever they are putting in the game is getting open be design. This is the biggest difference between Moore and Linehan at OC. The plays are designed to get players open instead of players having to do it on their own.
I think the one injury that could be a problem for Dallas is Xavier Woods. He's all over the place and is making plays in the backend that other players in the secondary dont seem to be able to make. So we will see what Thompson has, unless they plan to use Wilson at FS but thats doubtful because he's a SS.
Im excited to see what Lawrence and Quinn can do on the field together. ill be more excited once the league reinstates Gregory.
Dak is showing media that they should stick to reporting whats happening on the field rather then trying to be talent evaluators. And showing fans that maybe just maybe you dont know what ur posting about. A change in philosophy and scheme has turned him into #1 in the nfl in completion pct(82%), #3 in yards(674), #1 in yards per comp(10.9), tied #1 in TD(7), #2 in QB rating, 1# QBR. He doesnt need fans defending him because he's putting it out on the field in games. Pay this man.
The OL is back to being the best OL in the NFL and its not even close. Dak has been sacked once and really hasnt been hit much at all. Guy is getting huge pockets to throw, and him and the RBs getting huge lanes to run. Tyron looks better then hes looked in a long time it seems. Frederick is back aswell which to me is more suprising then Tyron.
The DTs need to put a whole game together. Theyre playing decent, but there are drives where they get pushed around. Collins doesnt seem to be a guy you want to pay big money too, more like a 5mil and under type of guy, Rotational guy. I think this has to be the top priority in the draft as of now. Wether one of these DTs step up at the 3tech or remains to be seen. But if this is whats going to the norm this yr then next yr they need to keep looking. Hill from the outside looking in seems like another Taco attitude. Again thats from an outside perspective which we have seen very little.
I keep seeing that LBer play is bad, which is ridiculous. Its not bad its just thats the area teams are focused on and game planning. With Lawrence who still cant be 100% back from surgery teams are putting more emphasis on Smith and Vander Esch. The healthier Lawrence gets along with Quinn and eventually Gregory we will see more plays and better production across the entire defense because you cant block or game plan for everybody. This is what makes for very good defenses.
Big props needs to be given to Kellen Moore. If he keeps this type of success i think you are looking at the next HC. Because youre not gonna keep him as a OC some team is going to snatch him up. We might be seeing the end of Garrett.
Another big props needs to be given to the Jones' for all these extension being given out. People see the total money and they talk about the salary cap. These deals are all team friendly. Word is Dak is looking for a shorter deal to cash in again in 4 yrs. Jerry needs to sell him on a Tyron type deal. 8-10 yrs that allows him to restructure and make more money in guarantees. Dallas did this with Romo and he made alot of money over his career.
Jerry and Stephen have learned from past mistakes and are building a team to last instead of yr to yr. Its exciting times to be a Cowboy fans, just make sure you dont miss it by thinking ur smarter then the team. Be a fan and root.
Final thing, i think Dallas has found its slot for the future in Devin Smith. If he continues to do what he's doing i think the team will extend him before he can reach FA. He barely turned 27 so he has probably 4 prime yrs left. He's finally healthy and you can see the talent he's got. Blown S or not he already had Norman beat to the inside before said blown coverage was made. Devin got the side right off the snap. Maybe its not a TD but its a big gain even with the S help.
