Could we skip forward to April 29th?

Wonder if new coaches from last year will be allowed to have extra work since they lost that time.

Probably not, but they ought to be.

We could certainly use it considering there will likely be another scheme change.

You left out the NFL Combine--- but this morning I saw a couple of news reports that the league will decide this week to have it or cancel it due to Covid 19 concerns.

Normally not interested in off-season but it will be interesting to see what health updates we get from Dak, Tyron, and La'el.

New defensive coach + good draft picks should be interesting as well

What are the chances that Derek Henry can have another 2000 yard season in his career. 27 years old, kid might do it.

Teams may as well flip coins to rank players.

You left out "Dak signs, CowboysZone loses its freakin' mind - Date TBA"

Some options on the table:
1) Still put in on in February but in a reduced form
2) Push it back to April
3) Have regional combines instead of everyone convening in Indianapolis

Every school technically has there own home version of the combine (pro day) so they'll probably just do that. That's technically the regional combine

Actually there is no reason not to have it. They can take many precautions.
Prospects all wear masks on the field, unless they are running the 40, cones, or whatever the drill is.

Nowhere near the same.....by a mile.
College pro days -- prospects only working out with some of their teammates; the schools control the sessions.
Regional combine --- putting prospects in a neutral environment, with them performing against each other under the league's format and conditions.
And equally as important -- the physicals, along with the teams conducting interviews with the players.
College pro days compared with the NFL Combine = the difference between night and day.

Last time around covid had only really been started to take hold in the national consciousness. They were woefully unprepared and unsure of what to do procedurally to be safe

you are absolutely correct that there's no reason that they shouldn't be able to manage it this time around.

This will be the worst game of the weekend

The league could mandate covid19 testing 3-4 days before the report day for all participants involved --players, evaluators for every team, organizers and staff running the combine.

Request this thread be sticky posted to the top.
