Another Year Of Absolutely No Depth

[Blackspider214]

NFL seasons always have injuries. Having depth is a good idea. But yet again, we have no depth. Our #2 QB is horrendous. OL depth is nonexistent. Which is a huge issue because Collins is getting hurt this offseason. And we all know Tyron will go down and most likely Maetin. And on the defense, the secondary depth is bad. Really no depth on that side of the ball at all. Another year of expecting the starters to stay on the field all year to have any chance to win.

The term "next man up" spells disaster.

But this is no surprising if you follow the drafts year and year. So much wasted junk, especially 2nd round picks.

There is no reason why this team should be afraid to trade any draft pick past round 2 (yes even some round 2 picks) complete waste with no depth as you have said. I hate listening to people who want to stockpile 3rd, 4th and 5th round picks. What superstar player did we lose out on by trading for Cooper?

its very difficult to dis-agree with the points you shared

Pride goes before destruction and until things change at the GM position, which hasn't worked for decades, the damage will continue.

We draft well every year, how can this happen?

 

[cowboyec]

we'll see.

QB...behind Dak is crap.
RB..i like whats behind zeke.
WR...5 deep...maybe 6....like it.
TE...schultz and a healthty mckeon give us good depth there.
OT...i think steele,knight and nsheke give us better depth than some think.
OG...martin williams mcgovern farnoik...i like whats there....the cornhusker has looked good.
C...behind biadasz....makes me nervous.

DE...like it.
DT...like it.
LB....5 or 6 deep...excited about parsons and cox...gifford has managed to stay healthy so far and has played well.
CB...behind diggs...i like what i've seen from wright and canady.
joseph...like the potential.
S...we'll see.

so i dont think its fair to say we have no depth at all.
problem spots to me are..QB2...C2...S.

but you wont get an answer til they are called on.
thats when you'll find out what you have.

When you have a whole bunch of bloated contracts at the top, this is what you get

 

[America's Cowboy]

Any young potential backups need to drop their sack, deepen their voice and start performing like men out there. They are not boys any longer. We can't afford to be signing old veteran players every year.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

We're a middle of the pack team that's one or two injuries away from being a bottom 5 team.

It's the Cowboy way.

No team will pick up any of them bloated contracts in a trade, so what do you do? If we cut them, the team still takes the cap hit. After this season, a few bloated contracts can possibly be cut or traded (Amari Cooper, Jaylon Smith, etc) if need be.

What else is new? This hasn't been a concern of Jerry's since 1994.

It's the Cowboy way.

Sometimes all it takes is 1 injury. Do you remember 2015 when Romo went down? The entire team went to hell after that 1 injury and Garrett could only muster 1 damn win the rest of the season.

I disagree about the secondary. This is the best the safety position has looked in years. And we are five deep at corner before even mentioning Wright who has played better than expected. We saw what Awuzie got paid and people here said he was trash. People said Byron Jones was trash when he was a top 10 corner lol. People act like we need five Ramsay's to have corner depth.

 

[jazzcat22]

Wow another whine thread

No team has depth when you play all your 3rd and 4th team guys. But if you mix a few decent guys at depth in with some starters they seem better.
Did anyone think there was a chance once DNucci was in. Even the starters can’t help him.

 

[FVSTONE]

you....are not wrong

Dam, what games have you been watching????????? There's no depth on this team, none, zero, zip! Every team's seconds, third, fourth and fifth string teams have dominated us! I can hear everyone saying it's just pre-season, but that's where teams come together is in these types of games...........

 

[iRepDatStar]

so theres no depth at RB..WR ..CB.. and LB? Also you guys are awfully worried about QB2.. what did QB2 do for dallas last year? Just like any other team if QB1 goes down for anyone in the league.. its most likely over for them. Dak breaks his leg now everyone is scared, before his leg injury a lot of yall were even calling for the coaches to run him more.

EDIT - I almost forgot 2 pretty decent tight ends

The rookie center looked pretty darn good to me today.

We need a backup QB. I swear every team we played in pre-season I would have taken any of their backup QBs over ours. I would like to get one after week 1 and I mean any QB other than our 3. Next year I want to spend a 3rd rounder on a decent QB prospect.

TE you missed Jarwin.

Good post.

Im starting to worry about CB, particularly early in the year. At some point, we desperately need either Joseph or Wright to step up in a major way.
I do like our options at S. Hooker and Kazee seem to b close to 100% after their injuries last season. I also like Kearse in a limited role.

i didnt mention starters...more focused on 2's and 3's.
i didn't get to see much of the game today...but ive heard good things about our cornhusker rookie.
agree about drafting a QB2 earlier.

Hmmm you clearly didnt read my reply. Maybe you should go back and try again
