I am sure everyone is as disappointed as I am with the way this season has gone. What makes this heartbreaking is that this team has the ability to compete with anyone in the league and has the talent to be successful but the end result will prolly be in line with the 5-11 Campo teams. I remember those days when week in and week out I knew we really had no chance to win most games. This team is, I thought, different.
I think we agree that Callahan was a big loss and the o-line has not played up to its potential. That could be partly due to very predictable play calling and the lack of decent QB play for most of the season which allowed teams to stack the box or blitz at will with little or no consequence for their actions.
Murray was a big loss, period. He had a chip on his shoulder and ran with an attitude. He is a downhill runner that was gritty and would consistently make an extra yard or two each carry which, when given the parity in the league, makes a huge difference over the course of a game or season. He played with a swagger and his attitude and energy fueled this O-Line to some extent. If available, I would be all over Derrick Henry in this draft - big, strong and plays with an edge.
If Chaz Green is healthy, he needs to be in the line up. Take our lumps with him while we have our back-up QB in there. Free is not the answer at RT and we need to move forward from him. He is not mentally tough and makes critical mental errors game after game. I mean, the guy seams like he has at least one or two offsides a game. Basic football. The FO was high on Green coming out and let's see what this kid can do.
I think Mincey has not been given the playing time he deserves. When he is in the games he always seems to be causing disturbances for the offense and was our best pass rusher at the end of last year. I would like to see him play more - even if it means Hardy sitting.
I would try to sign Mo this off season. He played solid before getting injured and might not demand huge money to stay. To be honest, I am surprised he played as well as he did after the severe patella tendon rupture and knee issues. When given a chance to play man to man he has been solid. That's what he is good at and we finally gave him a chance this year. If he finishes strong I hope he is resigned. Still a talented kid that was starting to gain confidence.
Resign Rolando - I think he has one year left correct? If he can get his head right and go through a complete off season working with Mike Woicik he has a chance to be a star. He has a great feel for the game and can be an impact player with his size and instincts. He has really played well as of late and I think a large part of that is he is finally getting into top physical condition.
I love Romo and he is an elite QB but he was not healthy when he came back - I don't care what the team was saying - and he is too fragile at this stage to be relied upon. He has taken a pounding over his career and is now paying for it. If he was given the calls that Brady is given he would have 2-3 roughing the passer calls a game against him. I have seen him get absolutely pummeled in front of the refs and nothing is called. We need to find a replacement.
This has been one of the most disappointing football seasons I have ever gone through since starting to watch this team in 1977. I really thought we had a chance to be successful and turn things around as a franchise. I know this may not be popular, but I truly believe Jerry wants to win more than anyone and does his best to put the best team he can on the field week in and week out. He is not going anywhere and if you think he is the reason the team has not met expectations, maybe this team is not for you.
I hope we win out and can still make the playoffs by some miracle, and it would be a miracle. I am thinking 5-11 or 6-10.
Like most of you, this is my team through thick and thin and I will be wearing my team gear and taking my lumps as always. Hang in there Cowboys fans!!!
