It's not even close for me, it's Kellen Moore.

I didn't like his hiring because I thought we needed a more experienced OC to bring some change and work with a QB who still needs development. However, the unknown around Moore is easily the most intriguing thing about this team as we get throw workouts, then camp and then the start of the season.

Will he bring some college principles to the offense? Will it play more wide open? Will it look totally different than what we've grown accustom to under Linehan and Garrett? Or will it look pretty much the same with a few wrinkles?

Well.. Everything pretty much stayed status quo except for some basic additions to the team so Kellen Moore is really the only thing we can hope will be different about this season.

If he isn't dynamic as a playcaller then there is basically no real change.

For me, it's Dak. We're starting to get a feel for who he is, but he's had some big ups and big downs in his career and he could plausibly continue to swing in either direction. If this guy's going to be our franchise quarterback, let's see what kind of quarterback we're getting.

Other than that, the next biggest interest is how many yards will Zeke get. He's just such a fun player to watch and I really do think he's going to go down as one of the Cowboys greats. Getting to watch him run behind Tyron, Martin and Frederick is like getting to watch prime Emmitt rush behind Nate Newton, Erik Williams and Larry Allen, and I don't think we'll fully appreciate it until he's gone.

I stopped thinking about it and was happy until you brought it up. Hiring Moore for me was like crapping in my milkshake and telling me it was *****. I'm excited to see if Quinn can regain his old form paired with Lawrence, and the havoc they could create.

Moore is a big one. If he even borrows some of the concepts they used at Boise State I think the offense will be much more creative.

I’m looking forward to seeing the changes Kitna makes to Dak’s footwork too (seems a big believer that accuracy is largely a function of getting your ankles properly pointed).

Quinn is definitely an intriguing aspect.

Is the scouting report on Kellen Moore correct? Is he our version of the boy genius? This can go one of 2 ways, real bad or real good. OC Kellen Moore will be noticed! He has a great supporting staff in Kitna, Columbo, Brown, Lal and Hudson Houck advising.

I agree. The additions of Pollard and Weber also make me wonder what Moore will change schematically.

Have to go with Moore also. Game planning, play calling. I know others will be involved with the game plan. But also how will he adjust during the game. Stick with it or make adjustments.
also once DC figure him out, unless he is predictable from the start and they do not need to figure him out. But if so, then how does Moore adjust to that.

Can he, or how long will it take for him to go toe to toe with some of the better defenses and schemes out there, or more like a DC game plan.
Dak and all the others on offense, it still comes down to the OC, then executing it and any changes made.

On Defense, not sure what is most intriguing. Several things, but I guess that too will be who is controlling it more, Marinelli or Richard.

I hear people saying that Gregory maybe playing this year.. Where is anyone getting this idea from. Didn’t he miss a test. Which is the same as failing one. Does someone know something or hear something.

He's applying for renistatement next month. After he was suspended I think both JJ/SJ said they are not closing the door on him playing in 2019.
