Dallas refused to address LB in the draft or the offseason

[Cowboys93]

Well you reap what you sow. Not sure how anyone in the FO or coaching staff watched last year and thought it was a good idea to not treat it as a top priority, especially for a position that relatively is inexpensive to invest resources in

You must have missed the trade for Winters and the draft pick of Barham. There were those 2 additions and Overshown returning from IR make 3 new additions from the end of last year.

Respectfully those are two depth pieces and an often injured and undersized LB playing out of position

Yeah that savior Barham is here remember

They will be the starters very soon. And good ones.

I appreciate your optimism but this team has lost that privilege from me

He's not out of position he's just not that good.

He also played until week 16 last year so it's not like he's some new addition

LB problems-it doesn't help when you give quality draft picks away to easily. The price for Q.Williams was too much.

I’ve never been a fan of the 3-4 defense because it uses your LBs like DEs. There isn’t that MLB presence and it showed last night. Nobody like Fred Warner to protect the middle just behind the D line. Nobody to fill the gaps on running plays.

About 2/3 of the league are now running it, so they can't all be bad. The OLB's are more like DE's than off the ball ILB'S

Honestly I don’t mind it too much because they did get a really good player but you’re also not wrong at all here.

NY gets our better 1st round pick of two teams starting 0-1 this season. The end result of the Q trade could actually be worth more than what we received for Parsons.

At the time as pleased as I was to get Williams I did not like the 3rd round pick element nor them getting the higher of the first rounders. Jets got great compensation.

I think the Cowboys defense looked lost last night. It was not a matter of effort.

Barham is a rookie and he will get better. Overshown has always be a hit or miss guy. Malachi Lawrence is also a rookie so I will give him a pass even though he looked overmatched. Very few rookies are going to make a difference .

I thought the Cowboys outside players we just awful especially on the right side of the defense. The Giants sealed them off all night. But again, they looked lost.

Houston is a one trick pony. He can rush the passer but he is a liability against the run. The two guys who played the best in the pre-season were Land and Wheat.

Love all the strident proclamations after one week.

Football is back!

And none of those guys seem to be able to stop the run. Didn't rush the passer either.

If you use PFF to make your points, you shouldn't create threads.

Anyone expecting a new one has unreasonable expectations.

Anyone expecting a new one has unreasonable expectations.

That’s not the point.

This team will forever go through this situation under Jerry until this changes.

Rinse and repeat since Jimmy’s departure.

I guess you are okay with the team being mediocre.

I think the Overshown/Winters type of coverage LB's are what CP wants. It appears Parkers' D is based on massive D-Line with a Hybrid Box behind that can provide disguised schemes.
Most of us would prefer a Bobby Wagner run stuffing MLB....but I guess Parker wants flexibility.
