ESPN: Five Moves Cowboys Should Make

[texbumthelife]

Yeah, but it hasn't just been "last year". His production has steadily fallen off a cliff over the past 4 years, in every rushing category. I don't see why anyone would want to waste a dime for that.




So then I have to ask, why bring him in at all?

Because McFadden is still under contract so my guess is they stick with RBBC. I doubt McFadden makes it through another season unscathed and you never know what you're getting with a rookie. Cheap insurance.

Even for veteran minimum, you're overpaying for Morris and that awful production.

 

[jterrell]

Morris is a decent option at the right price and if other plans fall through.

It would be an upgrade over Turbin at least short-term.

You'd still want to re-sign Dunbar for that speed back/slot element

 

[jterrell]

Aldon smith makes zero sense. Guy has more issues and less prodcuction than Greg Hardy.

Rest of article pretty well done IMHO.

3/4 seasons of over 4 ypc. You're right, that's awful.

He'll go somewhere and be a good contributor next season. He's got plenty of run left in his legs.

You know what it is? It's a clear and steady decline in productivity. Somebody getting worse, not better.

He'll go somewhere and be a good contributor next season. He's got plenty of run left in his legs.

As long as it's "somewhere" else.

A sentence I never thought I'd read - A deal for somebody like Tarvaris Jackson would be wise.

You get out and you never come back.I have been adamantly against RGIII, but I would take him before Tavaris "Quincy" Jackson.

 

[Gaede]

Follow those five steps and you guarantee the Cowboys take Ramsey (if available) at #4 or they trade down and take another DB.

One of the reasons I think Ramsey is a given. Makes sense, at least business wise

 

[DeaconMoss]

No to Murray and Morris. Draft a RB. Turbin, DMC are fine, need a rook to go with the pair.

SMH on Jackson and Stanton.

I agree with most of this, but a major problem for this team is push up the middle and specifically from the one-tech. Love Maranelli, but at some point someone has to get it through his skull more and more teams are getting the ball out in the two second range rendering the outside rush almost useless. Wasting a starting spot on a guy who has two career sacks in five years is plain ridiculous.

 

[aikemirv]

No to Alfred Morris.

He's a product to Shannahans scheme and offers nothing in the pass game at all.


Draft a RB.

I think Alfred Morris was a product of RGIII rushing attack at the time. He was only good when teams had to focus on the read option by RGIII

And his stats would support your case.

That won't happen.

He is married to the things he does. He is not at the age where he is just suddenly going to go against beliefs he thinks have made him successful.

The only way it gets through his skull is with a pink slip.

The only 5 moves they need to execute in order to win are: Dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge.

 

[conner01]

The concepts are good but not the players. Add a vet RB could be a good idea, drafting a young RB would be Better option
Signing an edge rusher is a good idea, smith is not
Passing on a trade for Murray is smart, looking at him if he is cut is a whole different thing
I would like to add a vet CB myself so we can then draft a QB at 4 and a stud DT at 34
We need depth at de but we need a real penetrating picket pusher next to Crawford inside to make our edge rushers more effective. A QB can step up into the pocket to avoid a edge rusher, take that option away and you get an effective pass rush

 

[Pabst]

I'd rather Dallas pool money towards paying for Frederick, Martin and Collins. Maybe sign Jason Jones if you can get him at a sweetheart 2 year deal. Bring in Stanton or Matt Moore to back up Romo.

 

[StarBoyz83]

No thanks on morris

 

[Alexander]

No thanks on Morris but I would go after joique bell

Excellent.

Let's get someone slower.

 

[StarBoyz83]

Excellent.

Let's get someone slower.

Didn't realize he was 29 scratch that.

We know dallas won't sign anybody like miller or Martin so draft is the best bet.
