Long season-just weather the storm!

It's unfortunate the injury/suspension/covid bug has hit the Cowboys team so hard this early on, but the bright side is that every player is expected to return this season. This team needs to find a way to hold the fort, weather the storm and find ways to win football games in the interim.

-DL has been hit the hardest with 3 starters already down, certainly their backups must pick up the slack. Goldston, Armstrong, Anae have an opportunity of a lifetime, they must take advantage of their chance.

-With such depth at the LB position, it makes all the sense in the world to play more of a 3-4 scheme. Certainly Parsons can be used more as an Edge Rusher, same can be said about Jaylon Smith.


-On the other side of the football, the team must give help to whoever starts at RT. It's far easier to help one replacement then it is with multiple starters out of the lineup. Moore/Philbin have to adjust their scheme as well.

How well a team handles its injuries and adversity always determines its ultimate fate. This is where quality of coaching and mental toughness matters.

Too bad 8-8 doesnt exist anymore.

9-8 is where we will be.

All good points. Would like to see us go to a real 3/4. With Goldston and Urban at the Ends. Put Parsons and Bashum at outside linebacker. Neal and LVE at middle linebackers. We will be ok.
