1. The one tech is a confusing thing..Especially when your GM personell is against getting a Nfl calibur one..
BETTER Strong safety play could mitigate a need for a better one tech but that is not the strength of Woods or Heath. Frazier is definitely a better strong safety than Woods or Heath, but his coverage is still a work in progress, but there is no proven depth behind them..I think one or two of the Udfas will make the team or the practice squad, however that will not solidify the safeties this year...Its a hole..And there are some free agents out there besides helping Seattle out of a contract..
3. Out of all the position groups i think the tightends will be a pleasant surprise if they use them properly.
4. IF Sanjay does some of the coaching thing and brings the WR we have along quickly and the team stops playing the wr development game, they will do enough this year to compliment the running game, and make this offense successful..Last season was not the running game the cowboys have..It never developed stable enough, to make decisions that win football games in the third or forth qters..or in the 2nd qtr..
5. THIS team needs to score points in the first half..Not fgs,tds ..Vigorously ..Just because you have a team that can rush the qb it doesnt mean you can fool around to play ball till the third qtr. TREAT every team to smash mouth football and believe you can break the opposing teams defense...
Finish them, with long drives that end in tds. SMOTHER The life out of both sides of the ball with your offense..
PROVE to your offensive line and your defense that you trust them by lining up and running the ball even when the other team knows its coming..And they cant do anything to stop it..
WHEN this happens, The passing game can do anything it wants..
GIVE ALL the receivers the ability to motion, play full route trees and move the trees around every position...
Develop a short pass game and feature it in the normal flow of the game, not just when the other teams defense is trying to blitz you or scheme the offense. THAT way the other team has to plan for it even if you dont use it that game. GET your starting rb involved in it so its a threat no matter who is in the game..
Use The fullback in a more conventional run attack. TEAMS freak out on a well conceived running attack thats dynamic with two backs that can run, block and catch the ball out of the backfield. TEAMS are so worried about the pass they dont have as many strong run stopping lbrs. These types of match ups are an advantage to teams with the personnel the Cowboys now have..
Use The freaking tightends...
6. We signed two guys who can return the ball..Its time before the ignorant Nfl takes that away, to get field position to shorten the distance to the endzone..(Austin and Thompson)
Defensively, This team must find some kind of combination at the one tech..I think Price and Ward probly penciled in but neither has done it consistently and I think ward is a three tech. This team right now has three one techs in Ash and Brice and Daniel Ross, Two three techs in Ward and Collins and Collins may not open the season on the active list. LIKE 12 Dends...lol. Cowboys going to have some players hit the streets after training camp....
The One tech and the Ss or Fs going to bite us, because its Murphy. JUST like Lee getting hurt..Neither Jaylon or Lve or Wilson is prepare to step in for the General..No matter what the Cowboys say so Getting a two one techs out of this bunch is mandatory. THAT would give the Cowboys a shot to keep lee clean. AND take away the Cowboys weakness. UNTIL ITS FIXED its a problem..
I think the core group of corners will develop and explode onto the scene this year..Although im not positive that Woods will take the Fs role by storm i think he will play well enough to get the job done..Whether that comes to haunt us if the team qualifys is unknown. RICHARDS should get the best of what they have..
