Do you have more confidence or less based on what we have seen?

if you don't see serious improvement , then they have gotten worse. entropy is the nature of things.

Define fast.

This team will take a step back offensively, and it is unlikely to lead the NFL in takeaways again.

Adjust expectations accordingly. The Cowboys will do well to make the playoffs, again, if that.

May not lead the NFL in takeaways, but the defense will be better. It will take the next step. I will go as far as top 5. Bold prediction.

Offense will be fine until Tyron Smith goes down. Then it will be inconsistent. Run game has to be better then it was to end the year.

I have no real expectations. All that matters is winning in December, January and February...and there is no indication to me that this team has the toughness or the mental makeup to win when it matters most...

 

[Proof]

you asked for posters’ confidence in the teams performance, I told you my opinion

the rest us your own garbage

it's just setting the stage to argue belligerently w/ anyone who doesn't share his EXACT opinion. wash, rinse, repeat.

 

[Ranched]

Hard to answer.
Players/rookies confident.
Penalties not confident.

Based on the entire offseason of OTA's, TC and one week of preseason are you more or less confident in the team going into the season then you were prior?

Less. Feel good about defense (somewhat skeptical on Diggs) but WR and OL play is going to be rough. Tough to get Ceedee going when you can easily double/key on him until Gallup gets back.

Hard to double a guy you move around in motion and in the slot. Ceedee will be fine.

Run defense has to be better. Total rush yards allowed last season is somewhat deceiving because the Cowboys played from in front several times, forcing teams to pass.

Yards allowed per rush was more telling, 23rd in the NFL. We saw that play out against the Niners. Seems like we've been talking about rush defense for years.

 

[CouchCoach]

I do not know if confidence is the right word but I do think they are going to have to have an extraordinarily healthy season to compete.

They have little margin for error in the OL and WR and that LT is a questionable waiting to happen.

And that will be better.

Same. Knew offense was sketchy, esp WR and Line after a few key players. Knew defense would be good and shown me nothing to believe otherwise. ST may be only one I’m feeling better about. K insecurity again this year but if Turpin can pull that off in regular season, that’s a special talent we DIDN’T have last year.
