1/4 Season Report: Who Impressed, Who Disappointed

[McMicah]

Tyron Smith has to be a disappointment again. The most important ability is availability.

But did you expect him to be available? I never did

But did you expect him to be available? I never did

i think our frustration is that FO clearly thought otherwise even though its been proven he hasnt

 

[CowboyRoy]

Now that we have 4 games under our belt, time to see who has exceeded expectations and not met them, and maybe who is still person we think they were. Share your thoughts below.

Exceeded expectations
1. Aubrey - How can anyone anyone argue?
2. Dowdle - has more juice than I thought
3. Tolbert - What a bounce back year
4. Turpin - Part of the offense now
5. TJ Bass - Floor is a long term backup
6. Ferguson - worked hard this offseason
7. Bland - He doubled up in this category
8. J Thomas - Dudes a complete stud
9. Leupke - I LOVE me some good FBs

Disappointing So Far
1. Cooks - Probably more the O scheme
2. Gilmore - I just think he’s lost a step
3. Clarke - Hoping the light comes on soon
4. Fehoko - Not even a role player? Cmon
5. Hendershot - Taken a step backwards
6. Kearse - nervous he’s a liability with age

Par for the Course
Everybody Else

Walenzko i heard all offseason was the next great LT.

I suppose not, but at the same time I was hopeful. It looks like we are just not going to get healthy on the OL this year. Zack is hurt, Egoda gets hurts every week and Tyron is Tyron. Losing two or 3 offensive linemen will hurt any team.

btw, did anyone notice how many times Buck mentioned the Giants OL injuries last night. like an excuse for Jones's play? The Giants were missing 2 starters. When the Cowboys faced the Cardinals missing 3 starters include 3 all-pro players, no one cut them that kind of slack for their poor offensive performance. Look how bad Jones looked behind that banged up offensive line.

Whole team has been one big disappointment IMO. Defense is a bright spot but has its issues.

Offense as a whole is disgusting and I can’t think of a single bright spot on it. OC/Dak are the worst of that particular aspect.

Kicker has been good too.

3-1... and you're disappointed... In victories, 108 points scored and 13 given up... In 1 loss, 16 points scored and 28 given up.

124 points scored
41 points given up

3-1

And, the team is one big disappointment? wow

Good to know where people are coming from...

Very impressed with the defense. Big time disappointment in the offense. The Red-Zone struggles must be corrected, or they will derail the Cowboys season. Special Teams is solid, and above average. Not sure how to gauge special teams exactly, but they seem to be pretty good.

Stopped reading when I saw Parsons didn’t exceed expectations.

 

[JoeKing]

DaRon Bland has shown up big time in relief of Trevon Diggs. That's who has impressed me most this first quarter of the season.

As for disappointment, I expected more from Cooks and until last week, Gallup. Our TE group has had too many drops as well.

No doubt they should be 4-0, averaging 50 points a game with 4 shutouts....Jeez

I expect him to be a game wrecker and average about 1 sack per game. That’s what he’s doing. Did you expect less from him this year?

 

[McMicah]

Walenzko i heard all offseason was the next great LT.

Point me to whoever said that and I shall give them a glove slap. Waletzko was never gonna be anything but a backup, and a replaceable one at that

 

[75boyz]

Quinn's defense has impressed.
Fassel's specials also.
McCarthy's work in progress offense TBD.

 

[Silverz1972]

They lose to the 49ers and they all suck.

I don’t expect anyone to play like Parsons. He’s upped his game again this year.

If there is a football IQ of idiocy, you just hit it. Good job.

Exceeded expectations
6. Ferguson - worked hard this offseason

Ferguson was already starter level last year, and I expect improvement through the rest of his rookie contract.
