10 things I think

[jterrell]

1. Dak is in the Pro Bowl for the 2nd time in 3 years and I have never wanted to scoreboard a subset of my own fan base more. Please enjoy your Dallas Cowboys; especially the ones who are not bad dudes.

2. Kellen Moore will succeed; at least initially. He will bring a fresh play caller and that usually works early on. Ultimately he is the young, innovative mind type everyone was craving. At the same time he was the guy the fan base felt was the least qualified for the job he already had.

3. DLaw is going to be back I am sure but at what cost and under another Tag or under a long term deal? This may not be fun to watch.

4. Beasley was always going to be interesting to watch.,This is his last deal. He's not a guy that has made fortune and though he is a very, very good football player he is still a little dude. He's never lived outside of Dallas area as an adult. He has a full gaggle of kids. He lives 20 minutes form his old high school. He is probably overestimating his contract and has now changed tune to discuss utilization which gets tricky because any team can tell you anything. 3rd down slot guys aren't going to get 100+ targets and I'm not sure any team sees Beasley as a WR1 or WR2 given his size and lack of blocking ability but sounds like he is ready to be convinced he'd be used more elsewhere.

5. I hope both guys above are back but also hope the team doesn't regret the deal they give them in 24 months.

6. I wish Zeke had a little more Dak in him when it comes to going out and partying. Feel like Zeke is a really good guy but he's gonna best tested now by loons who hate the Boys or just wanna try for a lawsuit.

7. Draft season isn't much fun when your team lacks an R1 and won't draft til post pick 50.

8. I am very bullish on this team but I'm also nervous. NFCE is tougher than people like to admit and next year could be a really nasty battle if WAS does find a QB.

9. I don't know that there is ever going to be 100% accuracy on calls but missing a call like the PI versus LARams or calling an OT for holding his own man really shouldn't happen in today's game. Plenty of other officials on the field to correct that type call and the man in NY or the booth should be able to communicate that to the chief quickly to get a flag thrown then sort it out over the next 30 secs or so.

10.Draft needs: Slot WR/returner; 3T, Pass Rusher always, OT always, Safety, RB(3rd down back skillset)

I think Zeke’s a great player and probably a really good teammate. I haven’t seen much to make me think he’s a great guy. He seems like he’s kind of a ******* in his personal life, honestly.

About the best thing he’s got going for him is Dak seems to like him.

He seems to me like a guy that likes to have fun and go out and party heavily.
Unfortunately, he also has a very big target on his back and can't really enjoy being a 25 year old like a brand new wall st kid.
All Zeke's past teammates seem to love him but that can be a bad thing, lol.
I could see Zeke being a Charles Barkley type with that personality.

I'm interested in this group of players as well. I'd love it if Dak Prescott was more accurate to wide open receivers...but he'll continue to get better.

Relative to the contract he will get, DLaw will have plenty of downside risk and no upside. The best we can hope for is not regretting it.

I can't see Beasley coming back. He's a poor fit here. Getting more utilization should be easy. Go to a pass first team. Lots of teams run a 3WR base. Run first teams are the exception, and not the rule.

He is just immature. The longer he spends around Dak and some other good role models I think he will come around.

If you can remember being 25? I really can't, except that I was invincible. I remember doing some stupid stuff that I shouldn't have gotten away with, but they were always valuable lessons that I didn't repeat.

We have about 50 guys on the roster that are around the age of 25 or younger and it is inevitable that they will suffer from time to time from a lack of judgement. (Lawrence is one of our veteran leaders on D and he is only 26)

We are trotting out a bunch of kids to play a man's game. There will be some pitfalls.

zeke has this fan nervous over his of the field stuff

 

[Zordon]

I've been saying Beasley needs the Cowboys as much as we need him. I don't think he's the type to venture out of his comfort zone. He's been in the metroplex his entire life. I wouldn't be surprised if they come to an agreement on a team friendly deal.

Why? Do you do stuff off the field that is worse than what Zeke does? Pics or it didn't happen.

I could also see him going to NE and not missing a beat.

This team and franchise (re: Jerry and the rest) needs players (and many fans) who think like this:

The pro bowl is not an accomplishment, to me its a consolation prize. Screw getting voted into that game, screw getting to play in it, and screw Garrett and his staff for being satisfied to be coaching the pro bowl team.

"We’re trying to win rings. That’s what it is here."

Why is the attitude not like that in Dallas? It sure would be nice if someone in this organization had more ambition and desire to accomplish more than the little 'prizes' they end up with.

I almost hate to be the one to break it to Dak slobberers that he didn’t “make” the Pro Bowl... he wasn’t even an alternate. He’s just a warm body stand in.
