Cowboys problems, what to fix

[cowboyjoe12]

1st, if we have good coaches, why is eberflus asking mazi smith to play at a lighter weight, when it shows when dan Quinn had mazi play at a lighter weight, didn't work out, mazi is getting manhandled at 300 pounds. You play players to their strengths not their weaknesses. The coaching staff should know this. 2nd when the cowboys had a 3rd and one, even 4th and one,they ran behind t j bass and left offensive tackle, your best players at that time were center beebe and our first round draft pick, the coaching staff should know this, you play using strength of your team, another poor coaching decision. 3rd, were supposed to have excellent coaches, yet even in practice and preseason games joe Milton still has no touch on some of his passes and their sailing on him with his poor footwork. Shottenheimer is supposed to be a excellent QB coach and the QB coach are not doing their job. Another poor coaching is special teams, Tolbert has been on special teams before and every time he messes up. Your taught even in pee wee football when blocking if you can't see a players numbers don't block. I've been hearing that the players haven't been properly tackling in practice, you play as you practice, if you don't practice and hit hard and tackle in practice the players will give the same effort during games. It's time to quit babying these players, demand effort from players and coaches.

The Cowboys first two preseason games and the one scrimmage have shown that the Cowboys have depth issues. The backups have been handled in all three by other team's backups. The starters had better stay healthy.

And the coaches especially the HC have a lot to learn. The team looks like it is being coached by a first year coach without any real prior head coaching experience anywhere. That is concerning to say the least.

They may have ran behind Bass to see what he could do in those situation. As for depth, or where to line him up at. If he needs to play.
In a real game they probably would have ran to the strength.

The goal is to see how players react at times in certain situations.

Parcels said he would call dumb plays that he would never call in real game. To see how the team responded.

The Cowboys' first two preseason games have just what you would expect from a new staff, installing new systems ( both sides of the ball ) vs experienced head coaches only reloading a few pieces. I'm not sure depth has much to do with it........MOST NFL teams are struggling with it. It's part of free agency and skyrocketing salaries.

`Right now the biggest issue the Cowboys have is Joe Milton. He cannot get the offense to move the ball and that takes opportunities to evaluate offensive players before the final cut down.

The WRs are getting screwed because he can't throw catchable footballs. The RBs don't get opportunities because every series is 3 and out.

Milton is not going to be ready to be the backup QB in 2025. He is just so far from being NFL ready it might take 3 more years just to get him to backup level. It's hard to believe the Cowboys gave up a 5th round pick for him.

It's time to end the experiment and get Grier ready to be the backup and they should be looking for another QB just in case.

Yeah, none of this will help. In a nutshell, we lack the talent to be a contender. To really fix this, it's time to trade Micah for two 1sts plus and dump salaries. Paying Micah and Pickens huge money will keep us from success.

Milton will in all likelihood never be ready. To play this badly in his 2nd year bespeaks a non NFL QB.

Pats were smart, dump him after a soso bus driver episode against BUFF's Walmart baggers.

If you don’t fix the real problem, you’ll never really fix this franchise.

 

[cowboyjoe12]

Finally you have to at least play all of the starters for the first Three quarters of the Atlanta game to get the players ready for the start of the season

There is no dumb play to call maybe back then, but I've seen SEVERAL plays called last evening that we'd surely call during the season. The bootleg we do that all the time, you think we're not going to call that. The play design that we use is horrible! Sometimes the qb holds the ball too long and has a guy open. The WR and TE are in the same vicinity of each other, you can't tell who's going to get the ball

Schotty said the 3rd and one was supposed to be a cutback to the right side. In the regular season that’s Tyler Smiths hole cutting back to Beebe and Booker.

Thomas just got destroyed so there wasn’t time to cut back

Ummm that’s not happening in today’s NFL

The system for the offense has NOT changed
as regards the D, seeing players MANHANDLED and the other team doing what they want to speaks about TALENT

no matter what the pumpers want to claim

 

[RS12]

Milton is not the biggest problem they have. Not even close. And I dont think Milton can play at all.

 

[Whyjerry]

Problems 2025 in order:

1. Jerry
1a. Stevie
2. Shottenheimer
3. DL
4. O Tackles
5. Scheme
6. CBs
7. Culture of no accountability and losing
8. LBs
9. Fans that enable this
10. Micah contract distraction

The first “problem” I would fix is learning to use paragraphs

The first

Yeah, I just kinda skimmed it.

 

[Alohawg1]

The biggest problem will have to fix itself. Until then it will be rinse and repeat annually.

 

[kskboys]

Problems that really need fixing:

1. Jerry. Self explanatory.
2. DT. As long as we trot these mutts out there, our D will suck.
3. Salaries. We keep paying average to above average players as if they were great.
4. RB. Need one. Starting quality. Most likely don't have one.
