CFZ Does the Diggs Injury Necessitate a Big Move?

[gmb1]

Resign Deion? He's the wrong side of 50 with half a foot, but he is still probably better than most of the other guys on the street. I mean Jerry can get him out of whatever contract he has at Colorado, right?

I dunno, he might be a little busy right now. I'm not sure.

Let's see how Bland fares on the outside but if it doesn't work out, they'd be incredibly stupid to let a potential SB season go to waste without trying something. Trading for a quality vet should 100% be considered if it comes to that, it's their job to figure it out.

I don't know who would be available? Not anyone good I think

Losing Diggs is a jaw-rattling blow for the Cowboys, but this version of their defense (including the league's best pass rush, an upgraded run defense and their unit of safeties that will now feature the return of a tone-setter in Donovan Wilson to the mix) are more designed than ever to withstand such a punch. The NFL season is a 17-round fight, and 20-21 rounds if you want to seize everything.

Keep a close eye on how McCarthy and Quinn come out of their … corner … swinging after the loss of Diggs.

Any plan to bring Scott along slowly and deliberately is out the window now, and everything he's learned from guys like Lewis, Bland and others will need to come into play sooner than later. He's got the ability, but he'll need to minimize and/or eliminate any would-be rookie errors, which is not impossible. It's on him to seek the challenge that's in front of him and attack it. Scott finished his career at Southern Miss with 78 tackles, 12 pass breakups, five interceptions and two fumble recoveries in 27 starts over three seasons.

I expect Igbinoghene to ascend to the role of CB4, effective immediately, but as a boundary corner, seeing as that's his specialty and what made the former state track-and-field champion (and son of two former Olympic track athletes) a standout at Auburn. His speed and skill set wouldn't be something I view as ready-made for a backup nickel corner, but instead to rotate with Bland and Gilmore — as needed. From there, the Cowboys will have to look to another rookie late-round pick to step up in short order, not unlike what Bland was subjected to last season before having a breakout season.

Can never have to many corners

 

[VaqueroTD]

My response for this has been the same since all the threads in week one saying we should make a big trade to win it all.

Wait until the deadline and then ‘bombs away’ if any good options are out there.

Wasn’t expecting to have so many big names on it this early but I’m sure we can maybe fix a few problems. Luckily this roster is deep, extremely deep.

 

[big dog cowboy]

can't get brown he's on another team

Actually, he's not but it doesn't matter. Why would the Cowboys want him? He is just a recognicable name and wouldn't help.

 

[GMO415]

Trade for Aaron Donald.

Depends on what is available at the deadline and how the team is performing in the secondary. If the squad is more vulnerable in the secondary and somehow Patrick Surtain becomes available (if Denver is losing most of their games)——then I could see a big move.

Patrick Surtain? That's as idiotic as saying we should call the Jets up and see if Sauce Gardner is available.

This may come as a shock to the narcissistic segment of our fan base....but other teams don't groom ProBowl and AllPro players, like Surtain is just in his 2nd season, just to send them to the Cowboys.

Hey....I heard the Rams are looking for a pass rusher...maybe they should see if Micah Parsons "comes available"

So I’m told the plan in light of the Trevon Diggs injury (season ending ACL tear) is to move DaRon Bland outside, Jourdan Lewis goes inside and you got Noah Igbinoghene for depth per a team source. #cowboys

You give up a good pick at the deadline and make a trade. Best team in a long time you don’t screw around.

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

Can we trade him for a fourth rounder?

 

[mmohican29]

Why do I think we'll be ok?

This hurts but more from a defensive scoring viewpoint- which is huge. Buy I think our guys will continue to dominate.

 

[Kalyan]

Time for scouts to find good rookies that got cut on other teams, let them learn the defence for 6-7 weeks and become useful down the season

 

[rambo2]

Who is the big corner that you can get in a trade? We have Scott, Isreal and Wright along with 5 safeties. All those guys need to step up.

Lewis is the guy that should play slot and Bland goes outside.

No, they have a full roster. Lewis just came back

 

[nate dizzle]

I wonder what Byron Jones is up to.

Retired. Says he can't run or jump anymore due to injuries. I thought the same thing then I Googled him

 

[TwoCentPlain]

I wonder what Byron Jones is up to.

Last I heard he was done with football after what it did to his body. I think he said football wasn’t worth the toll on his body.

Yeah they will get first crack but the other guys need to be ready. It’s still along season.

They were smart to keep Lewis.
