Might be more important .....than any free agent signing......to get him back full strength. We just weren't the same without him before his injury.

Even with a healthy LVE and a motivated “D”, we scare absolutely no one at this point. Draft can change that.

Are you kidding? We have Tank. He can talk opponents to death.

Not only that we have jaylon who will quit and not try on plays. Also he can celebrate when Dallas is getting smoked.

Remember coming into this season how LVE, Jaylon, Awuzi, and Woods were looking like budding stars possibly in the making? Each one of them regressed. That’s on Richard.

I hope that he remains healthy, mostly for his sake - but I don’t like the odds given his condition and the position he plays.

No more known injury / behavioral risk discounted players, please.

100% agree.

Richard had to go.

As did Marinelli.

Look at the areas on defense that struggled.

The DL could not get sacks other than Quinn.

They could not stop the run and Quinn had some of that. Tank gets a bye because of his surgery. But he must get much better in 2020.

The lbers struggled with Wolf Hunter out but even with him..they need a boost. Lee was a savior but he may not be back.

So there is alot to correct.

If you watched this SB, you saw outstanding defensive play. I would never compare us to those defenses.

So there is our biggest challenge.

a healthy player is what we need most? wow, that smacks of great thinking.

is this more important than a successful scheme? players that can play in that scheme? playerrs that can do their job and not just hold a spot?

what Dallas needs MOST is an honest evaluation, no heart strings, find out who plays their position best, and who doesnt, get healthy good competition going and lay down a MUCH better scheme. What we need most is players who can do the job to get the ball , stop the qb and stop the offense. thats what we need most.

He should be fine. Sounded like he had been dealing with the issue for a while. May eventually shorten his career..
