I hear you, but I'm talking about players that are on contract.DL - Parsons, Mazi, Kneeland, Williams, Rogers. You likely see them try to retain Osa, Golston and Lawson. But that’s a solid 4 at DE if one is retained.
LB - Liafau, Overshown (hopefully back sooner). You likely see another vet MLB signed.
CB - Diggs, Bland, Carson. Lewis likely comes back as he says he wants to be herett
S - They likely release Hooker or Wilson and roll with Thomas/Bell opposite of whomever they keep.
I don’t think it’s as dire as you are making it out to be. They definitely need to nail at least 1-2 new starters via draft and free agency.
LB is the scariest of all. But if they sign Kendrick’s back and sign a guy like Dre Greenlaw it becomes a strength
Anyone not prepared for that should be.Meaning the entire staff from 2024? What’s your opinion?
bingoIt's simple Math isn't it?
Same coaches + same players + same GM = same end to the season...
Look I'm always confused with these type of posts what exactly is your goal to get a temperature of a fan base but the problem is we don't care about feelings it doesn't matter how the fans feel they have no choice in the matter I mean what are you gonna do threaten to leave jump off the bandwagon we get those oh I'm out the whole I'm out I'm out I'm out never again am I giving Jerry any energy I'm not buying jerseys I'm not seeing games but here we are a lot of y'all that say that are talking about the Cowboys on a daily basis and to me that's a lot of effort for not being interested in jerry jones run cowboys..Meaning the entire staff from 2024? What’s your opinion?
Prepare yourselves as Jerry waits it out and then generally reverts back to what he knows. Only reason anything changed last season was DQ left with his assistants.
What preparation do we need I mean are you telling me somehow it's gonna be any different for us watching the Dallas Cowboys in 2025 regardless of who the coaching staff is again no control it doesn't matter and we've talked about this at nauseam we've been talking about possible coaching changes since last and then he ended up coming back then we were for sure if we had a losing season he wasn't coming back and now he might come back the staff might come back what are we gonna do about it absolutely nothing....Meaning the entire staff from 2024? What’s your opinion?

The D was trash last year. How do you think running it back makes it any better?DL - Parsons, Mazi, Kneeland, Williams, Rogers. You likely see them try to retain Osa, Golston and Lawson. But that’s a solid 4 at DE if one is retained.

He’s coming backIt is unfair for any head coach to not have their starting quarterback running their offense. That cannot be argued. On the other hand, Mike McCarthy had Dak Prescott fully for three out of those five seasons too.
Injuries are a part of football. Jobs are often collateral damage because of injuries, of which are never on anyone's schedule.
In my opinion, McCarthy was unlucky two of five years. There is no guarantee he will be lucky for any span of additional seasons Jerry Jones will give him.
I wish Dallas did not have a gambler as its general manager. Someone competent in making a head coach hiring decision after doing a thoroughly vetted interview process.
In the end, Jones will gamble on who should be his 2025 head coach going forward. Maybe he will gamble on McCarthy. Maybe it will be someone else. We will all know soon but for what it is worth this is one instance when I want Jones to gamble against re-upping McCarthy, lol.
I'll watch and laugh as we flail helplessly and finish 8-9.Meaning the entire staff from 2024? What’s your opinion?

Zimmer's D was starting to show some major glimmers of competency. I don't see where he's any sort of problem. What's up w/ wanting to get rid of him so badly?... I would ok with everyone except, Zimmer and OL coach. Get some fresh faces in there.
It was not trash all year it started out especially against the Saints and there was a couple games in there it didn't look good for sure but they were trying to get used to Mike Zimmer and Mike Zimmer trying to get used to a new set of players and short handed no bland no Williams and then the injury started pretty early and never stopped we're not trash all year there were some games where they were total trash but they improved all year even though they were getting injured weekly and had two positions so ravaged that they were playing with practice squad players at key positions most of the year and yet they improved...The D was trash last year.

One side of the ball that the coaches should get an excuse, it would be the defense ,they had the most injuries probably ,11 injuries,
two positions were completely wiped out ie Pass rush and Corner,
I mean but we did see progress the more they got comfortable when Parsons got back and when they had Overshown before he got hurt for the second time this defense looked different they were leading the league over a four-game stretch and takeaways and sacks I mean they were getting pressures it looked a lot better I realize the level of competition and all that other nonsense but if there is one side of the football that gets to have an excuse it would be the defense they're the ones that have the biggest rash of injuries and multiple injuries to all positions for multiple games if not a lot of them were out hell they lost Sam Williams for the season out of the gate and we didn't have bland to start the season and then the whole list is too long for me to even remember everyone that got hurt and hurt multiple times or who was out four games or for the season the defense was so destroyed they were working with the practice squad in a lot of key areas for a long time but yet we saw them fighting hard and playing better in late the season,
that's why..
and I'm telling you it wasn't trash I see with my own eyes why there was a good reason for when they weren't playing well most of it was due to injury some of it was due to the fact that Mike Zimmer wasn't given enough talent to go with his new defense and it took awhile for the new defense to adjust the coach to the defense and the players to the coach we seen a lot of improvement playing with backups so that makes me think if you have 15 to 17 games with most of your starters key starters superstars on the field it would look a lot better it's easy to see that...
I wonder if the other 31 teams in the NFL have noticed that? He’s held in high regard. He’ll have opportunities.hope we keep al harris.
he's done an excellent job with the db's since he's been here.
i'm sure they have.I wonder if the other 31 teams in the NFL have noticed that? He’s held in high regard. He’ll have opportunities.
