That would be an interesting strategy. It would certainly answer the questions about whether the defense is as good as advertised and whether Rush would get exposed with extended playing time. The defense would certainly have to take it up a notch or two given that the offense has struggled to get past the 20 point mark with Rush starting. It might work but remember when it "worked" in 2022 we had essentially two thousand yard rushers and 4 pro-bowl linemen. Now we're down to possibly zero thousand rushers and MAYBE two pro-bowl linemen. But if they go that route I wouldn't scream any less loud for my team on Sundays! I would just adjust my expectations for scoring and probably wins..
your right Ronnie, and for this year it would not work good unless the jones boys made some last minute acquisitions.
Heck I would trade for Brett Rypien , and pick up Dinucci for peanuts. It would be fun to watch cowboys again with either one of those guys or both.
I saw Brett in the Hof game, and he looked good, and is a rookie I believe, but he wont play in chicago as I think they spent a # 1 on a qb ?
Dinucci, I watched him play in the xfl , and his team had no run game, and weak OL, and he got them to playoffs, and I thought he looked good.
So there are guys out there, and then rush could get a shot too, or keep him as bkup.
The run game this year might suck, as they are rolling with elliot as the main guy, he will start and get most carries lol.
So with a shaky OL, it doesn't bode well.
This is one thing I don't get, the jones boys made the roster worse, then bring elliot back and make him starter lol, and now they say
win or else your gone ! Kinda crazy.
Then on top of that they don't sign dak or lamb lol, which I kind of like, but it isnt conducive to winning this year.
That should be part of a longer-term plan, which doesn't include winning this year.
