A complete receiver makeover?

If the QB is the problem, why is the team overhauling the WR core?

Looks like they are doing to the WR core what they did to the secondary last year.

Why, if the QB is the problem?

I don’t think the problem is with the WRs to begin with other than Dak and Dez don’t play particularly well together. Dak’s first 24 games in the league were record-setting after all. What he needs is protection.

He does work well with the fast downfield WRs though. Adding a few to the roster makes sense, since we’ve got the space right now.

Exactly The protection is everything for a young QB. Thats why I bet OL within the 1st two picks

I think you’re right. Bringing in Lal and having Dez work outside the team on his routes seems like it’s probably intentional.

I wish we really knew what went down last season with the offensive personnel and with the WR group. There was some significant internal struggle there. And Dez was reportedly was close with Dooley at one point.

We generally have what I think is a stable and functional staff in Dallas under Garrett. But like the stuff with Callahan that bubbles up a few years ago, something went down with Linehan last year, and we’re not being told what.

Red may not be a integrated coaches boss. He doesn't inspire loyalty I have to admit.
Otherwise three good coaches would still be here or at least one of them would have stayed.
What ever it is these are his guys

I think if St. Brown is available in the second round we will be on him like a Robin on a June Bug. He's long, can jump and run and has great hands. Little lean, but he can add 5 to 10 lbs pretty easily as he matures and he's only 21.

Draft LG Hernandez in the 1st, sign OT Fleming for swing tackle, trade WR Williams for a pick. Offense should be complete.

Im almost there with you.
Hernandez stops all the protection panics from last year. Fleming steps in if TSmith goes down
more depth

Ego?
Romo said something very telling in his interview the other day. The coaches hate when the QB goes off script because he sees something on the feild that they don't from the sidelines.
Stubborn?
Garrett put all his eggs in one basket, Dak's rookie year. Forced Romo out.

Now your gettin it

I hate to say it but if the receiving core has gone stale it is the fault of the guys leading the players. They did great the year before. What has changed? Complacency? At some point you have to start looking at the coaches.

I'm looking directly at the coaches.

In order:
Change 1 - Teams play press man without help on the outside, bracket Beasley, coaches have no answer to this, and made no adjustments that I could see.
Change 2 - No Zeke for 6 games.
Change 3 - It seemed to me that they Romo'ed up Dak, trying to make him make a lot more pre snap reads. Coaches.
Change 4 - Chaz Green debacle. Coaches.

Because we’re Dug In on Dak for better or worse. We’re willing to flip all around him rather than him.

Jerry will never admit they made a mistake with their Rookie sensation.

Remember our receiving corp was a strength just a couple of years ago. Now we need to find recievers to match this QB skill sets in his passing ability or lack of it.

Dak needs WR's to be where the are supposed to be. He needs WR's to consistently run the route the way its supposed to be run. He needs WR's to hang on to the ball.

This offense needs WR's who can run more complex route combinations. They need to have a WR who can take the top off coverages.

Hurns and Thompson do that. Dez does not.

Dez makes plays after the catch. But all that helps is a qbs stats. He does not present an easy target by getting separation via speed or route.

Dak will, IMO, be better of with Hurns who is a high IQ player. And Thompson because of his speed.

If we replace or greatly reduce Wittens role in passing situations, you will see a much more dynamic offense now.

All this obviously hinges on Dak individually improving.

Are you sure Dak has the QB skill set to demand the above?

I highly doubt it after what we've so far from the Dak man.....

The fish stinks from the head and after last season our problems are many but QB will turn out to be problem no 1 no matter who we have catching for Dak....

Great QB's make sub par or average wr's look good. It takes great wr's to make a sub par QB look good.

Which do we have?

Give him this year and let's see. He had an all time rookie best year and a ho hum year last. Let's see if he can put it together.
