how the flip do you know this? its new season, new scheme and new caches to get him going..NO DOG house and lack of creativity from the coach,,he could for sure be depth, year 2 players do improve..Taco even starting finally coming along, only reason we traded him was his work ethic and attitude.. Hill is the same personality and needs to be coached up..
you have ZERO idea and lend 0 to actual facts on how Hill will respond..
It's a bit early
Most people had the guy as a 3rd round pick. He's got a ton of talent.
Are you sure it wasn't a 3rd day pick? :popcorn:

You could be right, but I doubt it. Guys who are lazy with an attitude seldom change that much. This guy is similar to Soft Taco in his attitude and passion for the game. We need to change our drafting/player acquisition policy a little. Players like Taco and Hill ( some upside, but serious attitude with a lazy streak and little passion for the game) need to be red flagged and taken off the board.

You can’t win with these type players. You need guys with attitude who hate losing!
:clap:

Hopefully both Poe and McCoy work out and provide at least league average DT play. At their age and stage in their careers it would be foolish to count on both of them. That is a recipe for disaster imo. This team needs young DT talent. If one is available in the first round, the cowboys shouldn’t think they are set there. IMO it is still a big weakness.

Totally agree. Getting two decent vets is awesome. But DL still needs speed, pressure players

Sheesh here’s your starting D-Line last year to this year

2019: LDE- DLaw, 3T-M.Collins, 1T- A.Woods, RDE- Quinn

2020: LDE- DLaw, 3T-McCoy, 1T- Poe, RDE- RG/TCraw/outside FA/draft pick

Big upgrade if you ask me, especially with DLaw healthier
Hopefully they do better against the run. Ranked 32 last year.

RE 98 6-4 285 TYRONE CRAWFORD... 94 6-4 255 Randy Gregory... 92 6-4 255 Dorance Armstrong
NT 95 6-3 346 Dontari Poe.................... 99 6-1 318 Antuwan Woods
UT 93 6-4 300 GERALD McCOY........... 79 6-3 308 Trysten Hill
LE 90 6-3 265 DeMarcus Lawrence...... 56 6-4 275 Joe Jackson....... 74 6-5 256 Jalen Jelks
Will be interesting to see what Jelks did this off season,, is he still 256?
I think we need slow down a little bit in our praise for these two moves. They seem like upgrades, but Carolina was terrible vs the run last year. Including on 1st down with those 2 big bodies on the line often together.
Name recognition, fans get excited when they can recognize a name, and any addition now is better than zero, what we had there.
Im more interested in developing the young talent, in Hill, Jackson, and Jelks,, but the obvious names pleases the masses, and Im even good with it after enduring a total stubborn ignorant Marinelli.
I have more disrespect for Rod than I do Jason, and both were trash, but it just seemed as though Rod was on Snyders pay roll for crying out loud..lol

What if ruggs is bpa? I’d pull the trigger. That would we a potent offense and then the rest of the draft would be all defense
Doesn't matter,, always look for the fall, not the reach, BPA availability should be there at 17 considering this teams needs.
Need a day one contributor at 17.

I don’t like Mike Nolan. He’s a loser

This season is not looking good. Hope Dak plays well enough to get the Pittsburgh QB job in 2021.#realorganization

I go where Dak goes... and I hope Dak can get the hell out of Dallas!

You think Mike Nolan can match SF defensive coordinator?

Cowboys only hope will depend on if MM can duplicate what Andy Reid did in KC. And I’m not about winning the SB, I’m talking about the 51-25 record KC had under Reid before Wonder Boi took a snap.

This defense could be way worse than it was under coach Nod. At the very least coach Nod D kept you in the game. I have my doubts with Nolan. Combined with less than stellar personnel, things might be ugly!
You have over 8k posts because you just follow Dak?
That's amazing, mind boggling even.

I think that is a bit of an odd stat.

They were transitioning to a 3-4 and had 4-3 personnel. Plus listen to mccoy talk how they rotated way too much

Do we know the terms of his deal yet?

Edit - so it seems the deal is not truly "done" yet. We are still waiting!

why all the excitement? I don't get it. is it because these are names we have heard of in the past and we are perhaps living in the past?

Carolina was 23rd on defense. 29th in rush defense. we were 11th in rush defense.... and we just signed their two DTs...excuse me if I am not excited.
Many reasons, bad play calling, bad play beyond DL, bad DL play, they were tipping their calls.
