Signed by Cowboys Cowboys Sign DT Brian Price

[kiheikiwi]

The reality is that if the purpose of this signing is to provide depth at DT, it’s not a bad deal or move at all.

The problem is recent past FA periods would indicate to us that these are the “best” moves this team will likely make.

And that’s the problem. If this franchise thinks they are set at the 1 Tech with Collins and Price, it calls into question how seriously this franchise took a long hard look at themselves and what they need to do differently to improve.

There is a good chance these next 4-5 days will be utterly depressing. I hope I am wrong.

I dont want this getting lost - its a great point. If, big if. We do end up grabing a 1-tech. In say, the first 3 rounds, this point we can point to and say " Hey, maybe they are learning".
If they dont, then what the hell did the big song and dance about self scouting themselves, and looking hard at our own team even mean.
Great point Sydla !

You're probably not alone in feeling that way.

It's interesting that asking 'what's downright embarrassing' passes for an endorsement in the echo chamber these days.

for a franchise with such a illustrious history I have higher standards for embarrassment then you do

From where I sit, you just pride yourself on complaining more.

It was a simple question. What's so embarrassing about the way the team goes about its business these days? They're conservative, they draft and develop well, and they have been putting together good, not great teams. What rational person would find that embarrassing?

If he'd said it was 'not good enough,' I wouldn't have asked him why, because I'd understand where he was coming from.

 

[Carson]

This is it folks. Our big signing. Locking up Brian Price!!!

Ok ok, in reality it’s a good signing. He was solid when healthy. One less need during the draft.

 

[glimmerman]

Boom.. SB!!

 

[Rayman70]

Somehow some of you zoners just don't understand how Stephen and McClay do business these days. The team has made it's splash
play when they tagged Lawrence for 17mil. Now they want to lock up Martin which will create a bit of cap space for paying the draft and UDFA guys.
There is no way Dallas is going to use a 1st round pick on a DT. That position is just like Sam LB not a money 5 position and not dynamic enough
for big money. With Malik Collins and now Price, they have their DT's for next year. Look for the Cowboys to try and snag a WR in the 1st round.

Makes no sense. Your right,thats how they been doing their business alright..but its a mistake.

 

[Rayman70]

At this pace we make the Patriots look like big spenders.

 

[Rayman70]

Ignoring the 1 tech and the quality you must have at that position to compete for championships down the stretch is beyond astonishing! The Pats always had Vince Wilfork..the Eagles had Cox amongst a host of others that were studs along that front..Seattle had Red Bryant and Michael Bennett during those SB runs. See the theme? What part of this does JJ not get?

 

[Proximo]

Clearly we do not value defense

LOL


Obviously they value defense as they've invested plenty of resources in improving it over the last few years...they just haven't made particularly good decisions.

There's a difference between not valuing something, and just not being good at it.

We've spent legit draft picks on guys like Jaylon and Randy, plus the high draft picks from last year. Acquired FA's like Carr and Hardy. And that's all just off the top of my head. The FO has tried. They've just has too many "misses".

 

[cwbyfn88]

If I remember correctly he was really good until he got hurt. We missed his presence in the rotation. If he can stay healthy he is good for depth. I'd still like a bigger bruiser. Didn't the Pats recently trade for wilfork 2.0? What will it take for us to sign a guy like that?

 

[CF74]

Are you on record as flat out refusing to provide legitimate support for your claims?

Am I supposed to have copies of NFL films? lol

It’s not that complicated. There were several games where teams were ahead late in the game and they ran the ball more, we couldn’t get them off the field.

Numbers only tell part of the story...

 

[Nightman]

Am I missing something? They had 30 carries for 76 yards in that game.

You are........ first PHI game.... we lost 37-6

215 yards and 2 TDs

That was not the game that was mentioned. The Seattle game was. Poor example to make a point.
The Eagles game would've made more sense. Don't move the goalposts on me, brother... lol

 

[Terrancemcclain]

Mediocre does not equal terrible as the initial post I responded to characterized it. And frankly, if you've got an offense that controls the game, those rankings can still spell success. Would it be nice if we are stronger up the middle? Sure. But this isn't a team that can't stop the run. A better claim is that Sean Lee's absence weakens the D more than it should.

YPC is a funny stat. The 31st team overall played in the Superbowl.

How convenient that you didn' mention the Philadelphia eagles, who had this years number one rushing defense. I believe the eagles also lost their middle linebacker for the season before but the playoffs. I also believe three out of four of the teams in this year's NFC and AFC championship games had defenses that ranked in the top ten.the patriots had the NFL's number one scoring defense last season when they won the Superbowl. The cowboys offense put up
Thirty points against the rams and packe s only to have the defense give up 35 and 34 points which contributed to the cowboys losses

Prove you narrative.

Otherwise you are just another loud mouth at the sports bar.

 

[cowboyec]

That's what I thought. What really struck me was that we seemed a lot better with a big body 1 tech, even tho he isn't a starter.

Didn't we get him off of Green Bay's practice squad? Dang & he gets 7 pages. Slow times I guess or just an easy vehicle for venting.

yes,he was a packer.
Im glad they re-signed him...lets see more.

Makes an even better point. The best and almost worst run Ds were in the Superbowl.

The Eagles' D gave up over 600 yards and didn't force a single punt. 5.1 YPA rushing given up to NE.

Yeah. Smash mouth D. That's what we need.

If anything this is an argument to spend our top picks on offense

The fact you just said they put together good but not great teams and then asked what rational person would that embarrassing is hilarious.

You quoted me chachi.......I was talking about the PHI game

Irving didn't even play in the SEA game

Not at all. How convenient that you ignore all of the other points I made in my posts. Especially the point I made about the eagles losing their middle linebacker early in the season and three out of the four teams in the NFC and AFC championship having a top ten defense .the eagles defense was highly rated all season and through the playoffs. the cowboys have had a top ten offense almost consistently for the past decade . how many playoff games have they won? Their defense has bern constantely mediocre. Here is another question.name a team in the last five years that won a super bowl that didn' have a top ten defense.I'm sure you'll find a way to avoid answering these question since you clearly aren' interested in having a honest discussion.
