Change is in the air

[DuncanIso]

There seems to be change in the air at the Star these days. I don’t remember, in recent history anyway, they’ve been this active in attempting to fill holes. Don’t be quick to poo poo the free agents as they signed some quality depth there. Not top tier talent but better players than in the past. As everyone should know, you must have quality depth to compete for a Super Bowl because they will be put to the test at some point during the season. As an example of the changes just look at the 2024 RB depth chart compared to 2025:

2024 RB room

* Rico Dowdle
* Ezekiel Elliott
* Dalvin Cook
* Hunter Luepke
* Duece Vaughn

2025 RB room as of May 7th

* Jayden Blue
* Javonte Williams
* Miles Sanders
* Phil Mafah
* Hunder Luepke or Duece

That’s a solid upgrade to the running backs room. Bruisers as well as quickness. Exciting.

The Pickens trade has really got me excited not only becuase he’s one of the best WR’s in the NFL but it signals that theres a change underway in the philosophy of how Jerry and Stephen run the show.

Resigning Osa, Turpin and Hoffman show they got ahead of those contracts which is something they’ve had difficulty doing. Parsons is unsigned but so is Purdy, Trey Hendrickson and TJ Watt.

Trades:

• Acquired QB Joe Milton III and a 2025 seventh-round pick from the New England Patriots: in exchange for a 2025 fifth-round draft pick.
  
  
• Acquired WR Kaiir Elam from the Buffalo Bills: in exchange for a 2025 sixth-round pick.
  
  
• Acquired LB Kenneth Murray from the Tennessee Titans: in exchange for a 2025 seventh-round pick.
• Acquired WR George Pickens and a 2027 fifth round pick from the Pittsburgh Steelers: in exchange for a 2026 3rd round pick and 2027 fifth round pick

It’s starting to look like the Cowboys may have a playoff team this year that could go far with some luck with injuries which every team needs.

Enjoy the season!

Check out the QBs.

Oh you’re back.

Don’t disappear again if Daks stinks it up.

You have the best Houdini act

Study voo doo, we already have a new Pope.

Nothing wrong with Rockport. You disappear much more and expect more of a standing than a rook. No, you learn nothing translatable in sport.

To your responsible actions...exactly how many games should these present Cowboys win this season, Mr. 'enlightened.'

That still leaves YOU no time in grade.

YOU started out with nothing more than directed insult.

You are right, your stinch is now in the air. Now what have you learned and posted as a thread on site? NOTHING.

Now study the arrangement of the stones for your own worship stuff...insult.

 

[rambo2]

We really need a talent infusion on the D-line, even with the acquisitions. That being said, things are looking up.

They drafted the best pass rusher in the draft and signed Fowler.

 

[rambo2]

NOT A THREAD TO VENT ABOUT DAK.

The best qb that Pickens and Mingo have ever played with.

 

[nobody]

They drafted the best pass rusher in the draft and signed Fowler.

One guy in the draft and one older vet who's likely on the downswing. Wow, that's SB quality there. It will take more than that given how abysmal our defense plays against good teams.

 

[JW82]

Forgot the LB from da bears.
The have enough talent right now to make the playoffs. Like to see them hunting another run stuffer, nickel corner, and swing tackle when teams start cutting down. I think they'll be ok at rb but if that group isn't getting it done in camp go get another one.

 

[CCBoy]

Then you're just not looking.

Each and every RB brought in this offseason is a clear upgrade over the old, fat and washed Zeke.

This room if running back have a ton of potential. This is discussion...not personalized insults.

Ever play and if you did, at what level?

Billie the Kid knew another Garrett than who you associate with

Actually it is SB quality. Their edge players are excellent. They are loaded at edge. They need a good 1tech.

 

[Frozen700]

This proves that even insult and football discussion can both exist at the same time.

You are asinine but show full of pride...missing both ethics and morales. I am able to continue demeaning you for your insulting just by stating how a variety of reasons being the cores.

I assure you that you are no Billie the Kid with your approach. There is nothing wrong with Rockpot, who served, or being a Cowboy. You say a lot that people do know. Not by what you say, but what is always left out.

Oh, you aren't a Cowboy, not even a ranch hand..

Hey, how has your day been?

 

[CCBoy]

Hey, how has your day been?

A new Pope from Chicago and tomorrow is Mother's Day. Good to see insult taken out of your conversation direction. Just on football these Cowboys are on good footing and following three consecutive 12 seasons are back progressing following losing their starting quarterback and quite a few starters.

Let's watch and show some patience to at least watch. Go Cowboys!

 

[CCBoy]

My dear man, re the RB "room" I struggle to see an upgrade.

You struggle on anything that pin a gold jewelry on your chest. Invest in the current Dictator or attend Columbia.

In Texas, try Rice University for reference, they have high academic standards.

I think this is a very talented group at running back, also with NFL proven experiences. A strongly developing group that also has top of NFL speed at the line of scrimmage.

 

[CCBoy]

I have ZERO desire to converse with you. You've already shown you're more interested in spinning your insane ramblings that for some reason you think make you sound worldly and intelligent. But which clearly show the rest of us you're barely clinging to a few dimly firing synapses.

Go bother somebody that is interested in your world salad. I am not.

Don't respond, nooooo, and with no football you are a cheap excuse for insult. Sweetie pie.

So then you didn't play or know leadership in the sport. Cheap thrills...but don't bring it off.

I played with five players that were eventually Pro Bowl in their careers.

You don't respond to real success because you don't respect that for it's own value level. Now run along and lie one's way out, but your motives are already shown. Cry baby...no where near a bad arse.

Blue is a good pick. Now disprove.

Angus...bet there is no bale stacks in that! What Texas ranch and women saved the longhorn breed and had to get a wooden nose for being attacked by Indians? Sonnie!

 

[gtb1943]

Intelligence? Three years National Honor Society in High School, to include All District in football here in Corpus Christi. Ask for phone number and address if you associate as a gang member.

I then won a Congressional Appointment to the United States Air Foce Academy during Viet Nam.

See a recruiter, brain stein.

I don't use stereotyped insults as are your habots. YOU started with insult and I also talk football first, until a cry baby interrupts with biased insult.

Faith is something you take out of one's own head and play with it.

You offered no football nor up to here. I played football at both the high school and college levels. I played directly with a lot of future Pro Bowlers and on two Bowl Game teams.

I offer wisdoms long respected. You brag about just insulting. Carry on, Sonnie..

you sound like a real REMF

Enjoy the season!

When Mike McCarthy became head coach in 2020, we signed 10 free agents: DT Gerald McCoy, DT Dontari Poe, CB Maurice Canady, CB Saivion Smith, CB Darryl Worley, S Ha-Ha Clinton Dix, TE Blake Bell, K Greg Zuerlein, DE Aldon Smith and QB Andy Dalton.

Fans felt pretty good about that, but most of these guys were cheap and didn't work out for one reason or another.

We have to hope for different results, but what the front office did is not all that different than what it has done before.

Hey bro we are all fans end of the day.

I don’t think Dak is that great, but with this WR group, and more attention to the O Line, I think we will see a different offense.

I pray at least

Yes he disappears after every win.
