Twitter: Prioritizing Cowboys unrestricted free agents

It's not even about interceptions to me. We are switching to a scheme that's more conducive to taking the football away.

It's about going into the season with Chidobe Awuzie as your CB1. That's putting the defense at a huge disadvantage.

He cant catch none of them can except Lewis and thats if theyre in position but I get it Awuzi sucks.Scheme can help the not being in position part but not the other having said that Im not opposed to keeping him I just dont consider him as important as cooper

- You know Dak is being re-signed to richest QB contract or franchised tagged
- Cooper is not a given to me anymore, 1st round trade or not. Cowboys could be evaluating his competitiveness. Is he more No. 2 type than lead WR ? Transit tag at best.

- Quinn leaning towards bringing back than not re-signing him despite worries in the 3-4 scheme and suspect run defense. He is a legit sack-master but Could Rams’ Dante Fowler be a better option ?
- Ladouceur remains one of the best long snapper in NFL and little minimal cost.
- Cobb was still one of the better slot guys in NFL. Knows McCarthy offense helps.

- I’m no longer the biggest fan of Joe Thomas as he’s small and fragile. But he’s played in a 3-4 scheme and only if he’s cheap. Return until I get one better.
- Not bringing Bennett back, he has a sheer discomfort with 3-4, and only fits 4-3, and an undisciplined knucklehead
- Only bring Lee back on a vet minimal backup at best but I could see this team moving on otherwise.

- I’m saying good bye to Byron, Jeff heath, Anthony brown, witten, Austin, hyder, justin march, frazier, bennett, maliek, LB Covington
- I’ll bring back DL Covington and Joe thomas for camp depth until I get one better, kicker Kai Forbath and CJ Goodwin for special teams, and bringing competition vs punter chris jones

Bryon's game just has way too many limitations to give him a #1 CB type of contract. He is strictly a press,shadow CB who possesses zero ball skills, cannot play well in zone and is considered a poor tackler for the position.

I do not know why Cooper gets so much hate, he is a legitimate #1 WR. He was the main reason why the team made a huge turnaround a year ago.

Because Cooper while he has legitimate physical tools and polish of a featured WR , his legitimate competitiveness has been in questioned in bringing it as a #1 WR.
Being a true featured lead #1 WR means constantly bringing an alpha dog mentality at all times, vs no matter whoever is lined up against you, successfully competes
against the very elite opponents (Gilmore, Slay, Ramsey, Lattimore, etc.) playing well on the road as well as at home. and showing up the biggest when the game is at
it's most critical. Not being content with just cruising it and just enough to get by. Frankly I did not like his body language in that last Philly drive.

and frankly ever knock that was in mentioned with Cooper, has not been dispelled and it's actually re-surfaced for the most part by end of his 2nd season here.
I'm glad that he's brought some legit No.2 qualities when we flat did not have anything to resort but flat mediocrity WR by committee here, but so far it's still looking like
we have two legit No.2's instead of that alpha male lead dog, featured #1 WR.

Excellent point. Is Cooper the type of receiver that gets disinterested if not involved early on? Is he a type of player that coaches have to stay on, to keep him focused? Legitimate questions, but I look at the alternative, drafting an developing another WR or spending through the roof in Fa for a receiver that isn't as good. Don't like either scenario at this juncture. Either sign long-term and coach him up or tag him and groom his replacement sounds like the best coarse of action.

Actually Jerry has consistently said we can expect about 30% turnover every year.

Byron Jones is a damn good CB but the fact is, he can't intercept a ball to save his life (lol). During his 13 years with Packers, interceptions were a critical part of his defense, by design. He drafted a boatload of DBs with high picks his last five years. The bottom line, I just don't see Byron as a fit for reason just mentioned and contract. But I'm pretty sure he will draft a CB within the first 3 picks, maybe 2.

Quinn stays IMO.........remember he signed Julius Peppers late in his career.

The way McCarthy and Nolan play their CBs Lewis and Awuzie are perfect fits.

I think the hate for Cooper comes from his production towards the end of the season and the conflicting reports as to who exactly took him out of the game against Philly.

Also, if you observe some of the routes he was running there were a few instances where you'd see him jogging on routes where he knew the ball wasn't coming his way and not giving a full effort.

I would assume that for the money he'll likely be demanding that you'd expect a full effort regardless and to not being sitting on the bench when you're the #1 option at WR.

If we foolishly let Byron go and give Cooper 20M, we better draft a DB in the first.

im not sure about BJ, he reminds me too much of Brandon Carr, averty good cb who couldn't get INTs, we overpaid for carr and it got us nowhere, so id tread lightly..

however you are correct that DC would be stupid to pay AC 20mil hes not in the elite WR area code hes the next level and im pushing 17 on him maybe 18 if it was structured team friendly but to me hes worth 17...to me oif they made him the highest paid wr of all time that would eb realty the dumbest signing they ever made IMO..i know that hard to swallow but thats where i see it..

Gallups made strides and they can use 12-14 mil find a good WR in FA and one in the draft before id so that move..
