Few takeaways after 5th game

[Smith22]

1) Hats off to the defense. Down 2 corners and numerous defensive lineman, they showed some serious fight.

2) Give me more Turpin and Tolbert, less Cooks. Defenses have to honor Turpin's explosiveness and Tolbert seems to be growing into a solid WR.

3) Penalties need to stop but this seems to be a Cowboys trend across various head coaches now. Players just need to be more accountable.

4) Steele is a major issue. I can understand that Guyton was drafted knowing he was a player that would need time to grow into his position with how raw he was.

Steele was an issue last year and now this year. The sooner we replace him the better.

5) Dowdle is the clear RB1 and I think D. Cook takes Zeke's role sometime this week or next week.

6) Love the passion that D Mo plays with. Hopefully he keeps learning and improving.

7) I would like to see some rotation at safety. Not thrilled with either of our starters in that group.

1. Steele isn’t getting replaced
He is a very good run blocker

2. Turpin took deuce’s snaps

Pretty sure our linebackers played special teams (making deuce inactive) so our decimated dline didn't need to.

I have been saying this about Steele ever since last year. he is not the same player. he has very limited lateral mobility specially to his right, where its critical for a RT....he just can't get to that side and every DE with slightest quickness just jumps to his right and gets by him easily.....I thought maybe last year he was coming back from injury, now he is almost two years removed and still the same. Steele is cooked. move guyton to the RT spot, move smith out left and move bass to guard. that would be a better OL.

Dowdle is RB1 on this team. he is probably bottom 10th of the league.
