I believe one good thing being from Dallas vs our rivals. I believe players love to live here. For some players going to New York,Philadelphia,and Washington DC is a Culture Shock. Just cost of living is crazy. Taxes,crime,extreme cold, and people are ruder up north. That is why Carson Wentz nice kid from the Midwest looked out of place in Philly. I'm sure he is happier now in Indy..I lived in DC married a New Yorker so know some of the ways there. Her relatives in Philly too....These three cities hate the South. Truthfully deep down it's jealousy of a nice life and women are nicer & prettier down South. So someone like Ahmad" Sauce" Gardner is a Philly type. Other players for the North are like George Karlaftis. Greek heritage and he will be a Rock Star to them.

Some other cities have similar issues Los Angeles, Chicago,Detroit, most of the northeast cities maybe not Buffalo as much, but some armpit like Baltimore does. Unfortunately Atlanta is becoming a garbage dump. The Braves already left Atlanta and I expect the Falcons will eventually also leave for a safer county outside of Atlanta.

Yes close decisions had to make. I like Tindall & McBride also. I picked Williams over Tindall because Williams is 30 lbs heavier. Williams can play DE or LB....McBride is good but I like Dalton Schultz and want him back.

my only question........Can Williams play the MLB where he stops the run and can cover, allowing Parsons to do what he does now, while adding someone who plays the position better than LVE?

I think Tindall would be the better player for that position, but haven't seen Williams enough to know if he can play it better.

Either that or is Williams a Parsons clone?

Dallas is excelling with a 5-1-5 defense with Parsons being one of the 5 but hybrid to ILB roles when needed. Neal, and even Kearse sometimes in the DB/LB hybrid roles. I have not been impressed with the MLB though (LVE usually) as I don't think he brings enough to the table or makes enough plays.

I am very impressed though that Dallas can play 4-3 with Parsons and Neal as LB's, a 4-2-5 nickel with Parsons as LB and Neal/Kearse as DB, a 3-4 with Gregory, Parson as the OLB, and Neal as the other ILB, or a 5-1-5 and you not know who is dropping out when they bring 4. This defense is very versatile and while admittedly needing a few individual upgrades.....very good.

I don't want Dalton Schultz back, at least not as the starter. He is a good basic receiving TE -- I have to give him that. But his blocking is weak both in-line, doesn't seem to have the leg strength, and misses way to many in space blocks. He doesn't have elite size, elite speed, and is not very elusive when he catches the ball. Way to often he goes down when the first DB -that he outweighs by quite a bit- touches him. There are too many dynamic TE's out there for me to think they shouldn't churn the position to get a better upgrade.
