Cowboy Tweets 10/27

Football Outsiders has us ranked 30th vs RB and 31st vs TE.

The filters at SharpStats reveal that Washington's passer rating on targets to RB and TE leads the NFL.

The strengths of the Skins' pass offense are our pass D's weaknesses.

Hope our offense stays on a roll. This has the look of a 34-31 type game.

That tip must be great!!!

I imagine if you work that table that night, you make more that night than you do all week in tips.

2005 cut off huh?

That's what they've been doing all year already. I think it will continue this weekend. This is why I think we should have Jaylon or someone else blitz often.

Blitzing will force Thomson to stay in and block. Even if we don't get to the QB, keeping Thomson in to block would be a win for this defense.

Watch out for the screen though

If we dont get pressure on Cousins like Philly it is indeed going to be a shootout.

What would be an acceptable time frame for you? 15 years? 20 years? Whatever number of years adds more players to the list that can make things look better?

Twelve years is practically a generation and a half in terms of NFL player careers.

Going back 20 years would have much less relevance as the game and rules change.

That list of players with similar starts to their careers is a sad one. Perhaps two or three could even be considered decent NFL players.

That is where Charlton is at right now, on a similar path if trends hold.

Correct. Thompson kills it on the screens. He is probably their most explosive player right now. When he comes in the game, they better pay attention.

It says a lot to me that he even had to include 3-4 ends like Tyson Jackson and interior defensive tackles like Poe and Bunkley to get even that many names. Truly reaching to find them. Even with a 12-year sampling of ineptitude, he had to look outside the 4-3 defensive end position to find more names.

Part of me is trying to stay positive, hoping for a turnaround, and the other part of me has a sick "Shante Carver" feeling all over again.

Going back to those post-Haley years when the Cowboys struggled for years to find 4-3 pass rushers and we had the Carver, Pittman, and Ekuban drafts. And desperate for answers, made the switch to the 3-4 and had the Ware era.

It was the worry I had when they decided to switch back, and seeing this doesn't make it any better. I'm just thankful Lawrence is lighting it up, but now they have to pay him to keep him. Big time!

I would have at least one guy dedicated to staying with him all game.

Instead we will probably load up for Fat Rob Kelley.

Vernon Davis seems like he always hurts us

 

[MSCowboyFan]

Left to right: Tyron Smith, Chaz Green, Maliek Collins, Travis Frederick, La'el Collins, Zack Martin, Jonathan Cooper, Joe, Looney, Byron Bell, Kadeem Edwards, Jarron Jones

I love this picture. Not ONE drop left in any of the glasses. Plates are gone, but you KNOW there wasn't ONE morsel of food left on any of them. That's what big guys DO...take care of bidness. Just take an Uber if you have more than 2 glasses of anything guys. Too much at stake.

That's just Stephen Jones speak for being a friggin tightwad. No meaningful trades either because he's hoarding all his daddy's money and has no sense of killer instinct. Could be why he loves Garrett and his conservative nature so much.

Not a winning bone in his body. Sense of urgency is nil.

I don’t know, and that’s my point.it was a stupid stat
