When it comes to your back....what can you do?

Just a guess, but you can do whatever DeMarcus Lawrence did this past offseason. He went from a guy posters here wanted to cut to being in the Pro Bowl.

Well in his defense...I never heard about the team being worried about his back. But then again, may be that's why they franchised him and didn't give him a long term deal.

I meant from the previous year. In 2016 he only played 9 games and had a lot of back problems but zero problems in 2017.

I heard that Tyron Smith was going with yoga this off-season in an attempt to settle his back issues.

I haven't heard anything, either.

The team seems to want DeMarcus Lawrence on a long term deal and the tag is being used to buy time while they attempt to work something out.

It could definitely help. It would also be pretty funny to see Tyron get a taunting penalty for pancaking a DE and then standing over him saying "Namaste, Mother------"

Yeah he had them but we never heard how severe it was.

I don't understand what they are waiting for. Waiting only helps Lawrence. His value isn't getting any lower from here. If he's as good as he was last season.

scary

I have no idea if the team is focusing on getting DeMarcus Lawrence's (2nd highest cap number right now) deal done first or if they want to handle Zack Martin (6th highest cap number) beforehand.

Both need to be done.

I agree with most of the tweets.

I worry about Smith's back.

I also like our DBs just as much as most of the FAs.

We need to sign OL and DL.

And draft DT/s this year.

He also went from sloppy fat to jacked as all get up In the contract year

Exactly! To mention, we basically have no depth,

Get me Rashaan Evans with 1 of our top 2 picks and Josey Jewell with our 3rd and we're set at Lb.

This of course if we can get someone like Tre Boston at FS

Do we like roquan smith? To me he has that kuekhly can’t miss no Brainer whoever takes him won’t regret it vibe

what are they doing in the offseason to address this back issue? are they going to just worry all offseason?

This reminds me of the Sean Lee situation. We all knew that Sean Lee is "scheduled" to have an injury annually. Tyron has had injuries of some type for the past 3 years. When he is injured he is less effective and tends to have more "mental" mistakes. We will probably get caught with our drawers down during the thick of the season during the playoff hunt. In trots Chaz Green. Daks gets creamed on one of those "Dak friendly" RPO's and suffers his first injury. In trots our UDFA back up qb that has played very little PERIOD. End of another promising season with Cowboy fans waiting "PAITIENCLY" for Gregory to return from another suspension. We will also be focusing on the combine and who we might draft in 2019 and hoping to get good free agents that actually want to play for us despite our "stingy" inept front office. (rinse repeat). I certainly hope that I am wrong next season but our FO just doesn't seem to use foresight.

Jimmy Smith.

If he's Jimmy Smith sprint to the podium with his name on a card.

He is very small for a full time MLB behind our smallish DL.

If we can land Flemmings, and Martin they compete for starting spots would alleviate the need to draft a O-line in the first the 3 rounds a bit I think the Cowboys will look to trade up in the first to get their guy.
Derwin James S FSU
Roquan Smith LB Georgia
Tremaine Edwards LB Virgina Tech

Filling needs in FA albeit not top tier upside players allows you freedom to make moves to get your guy and with 10 picks we have the luxury of moving around.

Everything I have seen says that Edwards is long gone by pick #19.

6-1, 235

It's not ideal but he could move to WLB when Lee inevitably misses games and then replace Lee in 2019.
