I sure hope you're right about this...
Me too to be honest..
What gives me hope:
The FO didn’t over spend in FA, yet still landed Veteran presence at a previously ignored position at DT(I.e.- McCoy, Poe)
They were patient in their approach when paying Cooper and tagging Dak. Also signing underrated players like Brown and Jarwin. In the past, Jerry just threw money at players.
The FO stood pat at
#17 during the draft.. in the past, we could bet the FO throws draft picks away to move up and “get their guy”.
McCarthy has already stated to Will McClay.. “just give me good football players”.. he intends to fit the scheme around the player, not force a player to the scheme.
McCarthy or the FO..could have pressed to resign this years top Cb, Byron Jones, but he switched gears and trusted the scouts.. of course they drafted players that could play this year
McCarthy fired almost all the coaches from the previous regime, albeit Jerry stating he wanted to keep some coaches like Marc Columbo...yeah, he’s gone and McCarthy’s guys moved in
And it shouldn’t be a surprise to see Dallas actually draft players with value throughout the draft without coaches like, Marenilli, breathing down McClays neck and swaying Jerry to pick “Their guy”. Side note: I can’t get the image out of my head of Marenilli elated when we drafted Tristian Hill..sigh
So far.. McCarthy has his fingerprints all over this team and all these moves are on him. Not the FO. Time will tell if this means anything.. but one thing is for sure..
For those that always blame Jerry for anything and everything.. simply bc it’s an easy scapegoat and quite honestly,
simpleminded criticism. They should finally be happy we have a proven HC, that has some pull, trusts his scouts, has his own coaching tree to implement a different attitude, scheme, and bravado to the Cowboys.
I’m stoked and personally all in. This is a new era of Cowboys football!
