The Cowboys have a DL problem

Sydla · Mar 17, 2020

It's kind of strange it's not talked about more but the Cowboys have a real problem at DL right now.

They have one upper echelon player. Lawrence. That's it. DE depth after him is now Armstrong, Gregory, Jelks and Jackson. That's it.

DT isn't much better as Collins is a FA. Woods is OK. Hill? Ehhh?

Of course there is also Crawford, who is serviceable but not great at either DE or DT.

It's going to be interesting to see where this front office goes along the DL. Certainly they could be looking at the draft but there are other needs that they may need to look at in the draft.

I hope they do not go pass rusher at #17 in the draft, even with Quinn gone. This group is not worth it.

cut crawford. bring back gregory and david irving

"We like our young guys." Get used to it.

Risen Star · Mar 17, 2020

Yes, they must do something in FA. Multiple things, actually.

Irving & Gregory don't look so bad now do they?

Chaisson has to be in play now at 17.

I'd call around the league and see if we could trade our 1 for a guy like saaaay... Von Miller maybe? Joey Bosa? No way Chargers trade him but hey who knows.

We are sitting on cap space like a dragon guards gold.

dagreat1_87 · Mar 17, 2020

yea, i've been stressing about not panicking but losing Quinn isn't helping. Our already questionable defense is getting worse

RS12 · Mar 17, 2020

They had one before this happened. I really wish SF hadn't created a hole yesterday on the D Line and acquired the 13th pick.

Why do you say that? Even if someone falls to them you still feel that way?

Yeah I would definitely check to see where Irving's head is, with the new CBA; in the end I think he's happier now w/o football.

They just going to blitz, rather than try to win with 4.

The Ravens had the same approach last year.

Howboutdemcowboys31 · Mar 17, 2020

As of right now we have the worst DL in the NFL

viman96 · Mar 17, 2020

They definitely need to bring in a few players on the DL and hope Jelks becomes a decent player. He showed potential last year but needs to step up and make game day rotation.

not talked about? It’s widely regarded as our #1 need

Well when you invest 20 million a year in a guy that gets 5 sacks a year I expect DL problems

They are running around like they blew all their cap space on Cooper.

What's the point of restructuring some deals to give you anywhere form $80MM-85MM in cap space just so you can nickle and dime your way through FA when you have clear, clear needs.

bayeslife · Mar 17, 2020

They had a DL problem last year and the year before and the year before and the year before and the year before and the year before

Yes, let's call around and make foolish offers.

Oh, wait, someone call the Texans.

This team has a Front office problem. Don't be so freaking cheap. Do we want to win now or wait another 25 years?
Wake up people... How long have we made excuses for this organization over the past 25 years... We should sign this player buy the cap will be a mess.
There is no cap hell.. Wake up. This FO does not care about winning, just lining their pocketbooks.
