Bart: Would signing Earl Thomas make the Cowboys SB contenders? -FTF

[Redball Express]

I salivate at the thought.

Especially not giving up a #1 to get him.

If he can still play at a high level then he would help the position but we didn’t have totally horrible safety play anyways. Not sure he would be worth the money he demands when we have others to pay.

No. For the most part our defense is plenty good enough, the offense is what needs to be fixed.

 

[ItzKelz]

No. For the most part our defense is plenty good enough, the offense is what needs to be fixed.

Ironic that we lost in the playoffs because of defense.

 

[Doomsday77]

We should have been contenders this year! Safety is not a concern for me. Coaching is. Thomas doesn't need coaching I suppose but to answer the question...I don't think he would make a significant difference in our chances.

 

[mattjames2010]

Ironic that we lost in the playoffs because of defense.

The offense was far from good in that game.

 

[CF74]

Has he lost a step or two since the break? Can he tackle somebody like Barkley in the open field? Just thoughts...

 

[Nav22]

Bart? Who’d he tell that to, Milhouse?

I’ll show myself out.

 

[Idgit]

You have to consider it if you can swing it. We need impact players. And there aren’t enough impact S to go around.

 

[CATCH17]

Garrett will continue to hold this thing back like he has for a decade.

 

[Runwildboys]

Ironic that we lost in the playoffs because of defense.

Partly. It's not like the offense lit it up and the defense failed to keep up.

 

[Taggy12]

I wouldn’t worry about that, he still can tackle but Barkley need to get by LVE first

 

[TheSport78]

No. For the most part our defense is plenty good enough, the offense is what needs to be fixed.

Our defense is average in turnovers. ET would change that.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Thomas would bring the defense to another level and provide leadership and winning experience.

I'm of the mind that the best way to help Dak is to create a dominant defense, so that he doesn't have to shoulder the load ala what the Ravens did with Joe Flacco.

 

[cowboyec]

gets us a step closer.
a Vince Wilfolk type DT....now THAT would do it.

 

[CF74]

I wouldn’t worry about that, he still can tackle but Barkley need to get by LVE first

We don’t even know if he can play anymore..

 

[ItzKelz]

The offense was far from good in that game.

But they scored 22 points. the defense was historically bad.

 

[mattjames2010]

But they scored 22 points. the defense was historically bad.

They had 13 points until late in the 4th quarter. Again, stating this was all defense is just ridiculous. There is no way around this, the offense was just as much of a problem in that game.

You win by scoring more points and the offense stalled at 13 for most of the game.

 

[Willfreedom909]

The offense was far from good in that game.

22 points against a defense the patriots could only muster 13 against

 

[cowboy_ron]

I think that if he isn't signed here, it will be because he priced himself out.
