Its panic day! I think its clear that the defense overachieved most of the year. The Cowboys need two immediate upgrades on defense, DT and S. They have no first round draft pick and their first pick in the second round won't happen until late so the only way to upgrade either of these positions is going to be free agency. I think they need to stop shopping aat K-Mart of their defensive tackles. Its time to get serious and either draft or sign a guy who will plug the middle and take some pressure off DLaw. If they hope to get away with the jags they've been using we will see more teams do what the Rams and Colts did to the defense.
On offense its not as bad as it looked last night. The offensive line is a problem but we should get Frederick back for next year and we will get healthier. Connor Williams gets to spend an offseason getting stronger. The question is, is Tyron Smith going to be injured every year now? Will a full year of Columbo coaching help? I think they will have to deal with the Smith situation sooner rather than later but not immediately. I also think a better OL coach will get these guys playing more like they did in 2016.
I disagree with the talk about a slot receiver. Beasley is a good slot receiver and he is almost impossible to cover. His size limits him, but he contributes to the offense. It more than I can say about Tavon Austin. If they can sign Beasley for a reasonable amount then they should do it. Don;t create more problems than they already have.
