TRADED Cowboys trading for Titans LB Kenneth Murray Jr.

[AKATheRake]

Hey. I think Ryan leaf and jamarcus Russell are still out there. Might as well see if they want to make a come back also since we want to sign never was first rounders

You're telling me if Andrew Luck wanted to come back for 1 more pow wow you wouldn't wonder?

With Matt Eberflus known for playing a lot of nickel defense, a fourth LB is going to have a hard time finding much playing time. That’s especially true for Clark given that he’s not a run-stopper, which would limit him in more base 4-3 and short-yardage looks.

He’s been in the league 5 years.

Name the last former 1st rounder this team has brought in that has done anything.

It was Amari cooper. They have brought in many since. Nothing.

Well the linebacker we brought in was pretty dominant for a while.

Noone has more first round talent than us

That's their plan... pick up everyone's 1st round busts and make a team out of them. They should give Taco Charlton a call.

When Eberflus' defenses have been at their best in the past, they specialize in being able to stop the run and take the ball away. Turnovers have been a staple of the Cowboys defense in recent years, but they've struggled to stop the run, finishing 29th in the league last season and have not finished top 10 in the league since 2018 in the run defense category. Sanborn thinks all that will change soon.

"Being aggressive, one of the big things is he wants to stop the run," Sanborn said. "I think being aggressive, being physical, flying around to the football, tackling well, and we've got to get the football taken away from opposing offenses and that's what he harps on and is something he wants to get accomplished."

In order to accomplish that goal, Murray believes that the Cowboys focus should be centered more around the mentality of what they want to be on defense, and that will be what leads to success in the scheme.

So this year is just loading up on reclamation projects and seeing what sticks???

Feels like a tank of a season ***

Beats eleven going out and two coming in — or whatever last offseasons tallies were.

Eberflus' defense is considered simple to learn. That may help Murray and if pass defense is his issue he will probably be asked to just drop into the deep middle rather than cover in man.

So we were high on him coming out of college.........

Kendricks may not return to the Cowboys in 2025, but the Cowboys will have Murray Jr., DeMarvion Overshown, Marist Liufau and new free agent Jack Sanborn amongst others in the fold. The common denominator amongst them all is wanting to get to the football and help win games.

With 2 FA's added to the LB mix I wonder if that pushes the need to draft another down the priority list. The Cowboys can't count on Overshown but could try to sign Kendricks to another 1 year deal. I would.

Not surprised. Instead of looking at what guys did in the NFL e go back to their College tape. It’s why we constantly pick up these 1st and 2nd rounders that for whatever reason didn’t work out elsewhere

A lot of flexibility as well as projection now on type of defense. The team is at least game competitive right now and direction needs progress. But there are resources for further progress right now.

By the way. Great story. Still makes way too much for his talent level but I’m rooting for him. Seems like a great guy from a great family
