Aggression

[Bleu Star]

McFadden doesn’t cost much, and it’s a shame he’s not used. But seriously are you still ruing the Darius Jackson thing? Dude is on IR not helping his team. He is a 6th rd pick. There is absolutely zero proof that he would provide anything ever.

You obviously don't know me very well.

I'm still ruing the way we treated TO when get was a Cowboy.

I'm also still ruing the fact that ppl thought Mike Jenkins was better than my boy OScan.

Just call me RueStar.

So let's talk about aggression. It is beyond time for our front office to begin applying some aggression in everything they do.

Many of us have complained about Garrett, his staff, and Jerry in creating what we have going on 23 years... That's understood. There's nothing we can do about it. So let's move beyond that and talk about reality.

The reality of it all is that we are in the best situation we've been in from a salary cap perspective in years. We have so much capability to utilize aggression in the offseason. It's well chronicled that we have improved significantly in how we draft over the last several years thanks, in part, to the elevation of Willie McClay. Drafting is good... Let's leave that alone.

HOWEVER, we have been trolling the bottom of the barrel looking for free agent "diamonds in the rough" for the last several years. We got a little aggressive with Greg Hardy and perhaps the results of that foray left us snake bitten.

It is now time for us to utilize that cap space and go for the free agent gusto to compliment the draft. So many other teams have seen success in being aggressive in free agency. It is now time for us to step up our free agent acquisition game. Depth is a major concern and it is rearing its ugly head this year. There's absolutely no reason to have such a beautiful salary cap situation if you don't use it to your advantage!!!

We need to pull both draft and free agent strings this off season to utilize a two pronged aggressive approach to loading this team up. An abundance of talent can hide coaching deficiencies (case in point.. Zeke)....

I would have gotten rid of McFadden and kept that RB we drafted... Darius something or another. Depth depth depth.

Dez is no longer Dez... Get some additional WR talent in here through FA. Someone that can stretch the field and catch reliably...

Why do we rely solely on Sean Lee to be the difference maker? Why do we look so different without him in there on defense? I think we've done a great job infusing talent into the secondary but it wouldn't hurt to have a quality FA or two back there as well to show the way.

I've carried on long enough.... We need more aggression in the FA market. Period!!! There's no excuse now. GitRDone.........

Three Guinness! Light weight!! Lol

just because he is on IR in Cleveland does not mean the same thing would have happened here.

Murphy's made a nice Dark Stout also. Caffery's brew a fine Irish Ale too. Beer rules.

Martin top dollar,Lawrence franchise is top dollar,Irving if you dont pay him another team will.

Byron Bell, RT
Bene Benwikere, CB
Brice Butler, WR
Jonathan Cooper, G
Justin Durant, OLB
Rico Gathers, TE (ERFA)
Anthony Hitchens, ILB
David Irving, DT (RFA)
L.P. Ladouceur, LS
DeMarcus Lawrence, DE
Joe Looney, G
Darren McFadden, RB
Kellen Moore, QB
Alfred Morris, RB
Stephen Paea, DT
Brian Price, DT (ERFA)

David Irving, DT (RFA) - maybe
L.P. Ladouceur, LS
DeMarcus Lawrence, DE - maybe

We really need to concentrate on getting more talented coaches.

Amen and dump some overpaid underachieving veterans.

Reading comprehension is clearly not your strong suit. DJ could be better than what we have now with Zeke suspended. That is all anyone is saying contrary to your blathering.

Like just for intro sentence...

 

[CF74]

Ok one move would have been let Either vet RB go and get a Poe, Hankins, or dare I say Darius. That one move makes our LB core better...

 

[Bleu Star]

Some of you guys act like this guy is the next great. lol don’t they have a support group for you guys? Geez

Some of you guys act like He's has zero potential whatsoever. Typical....

Thank goodness we discovered the Smith brother because he fills that backup void at RB left by Darius.

Thank you. Well stated...

Stephen Jones says that "talent acquisition is a 365 days a year job", yet the Front Office takes an unofficial company retreat when unrestricted free agency begins. Free agent visits do not count against the cap. The Cowboys have amazing facilities, a great tradition, and there is no state income tax in Texas, so the Cowboys need to bring free agents for visits and then offer competitive salaries. Stop overpaying your own players because you think it makes you look smarter for drafting those players in the first place. Stop anointing guys without real competition. Go out and acquire actual talent. If you think the cap is difficult to manage now, wait until 2020 when Dak's salary goes from $700k to $25M.

They have to be aggressive these next two off-seasons and they must improve this defense.

 

[Parcells4Life]

We may need a QB in the next 2 offseasons. No matter how good the other players are you can’t win with the play being shown at QB. Dak is terrible right now
