Gaethers re-signs with the Colts

[links18]

But we still have Gathers right? Please tell me yes!

3 weeks ago looking at the FA S list, I was 100% positive that one of the top 5 on that list would be wearing a Cowboys uniform and here we are 3 weeks later and Jeff Heath is still the starting S for the Cowboys.

Most likely yes.

Down to three. Berry, iloka and Boston

 

[dogberry]

Do business decisions, yelling ole, failures to attempt a tackle also count as a broken tackle?

 

[gimmesix]

Most likely yes.

Down to three. Berry, iloka and Boston

I don't mind IIoka or Boston as competition for the starting spot, but I'm not really sure they are any better than what we've got. Berry would be a shot at actually improving the position; however, I expect him to receive more than we'll be willing to offer.

Hopefully this means we will target Thornhill or a similar player in the draft.

According to Dallas Cowboys "director of media relations", Mickey Spagnola, on the fan this morning. The feeling inside The Star is that the safety position didn't cost us anything last year, especially during the playoffs. No need to spend money at that spot.

My guess, Heath, Woods, and Frazier will be the guys again this year.
Absolutely crazy!!!

Iloka and Boston are both better than Heath.

Probably throw in a 4th round draft pick there too.

The shortsightedness and the overall overvaluing of their roster that they do annually is so frustrating.

How in the world can this franchise sit there and actually argue that Jeff Heath is a quality starting S in this league?

And how can they conclude that the S position didn't hurt us? Heath was a disaster in run support in the Rams game AND he was the one caught flat footed staring at a TE, who was not running a pass pattern, while Goff ran by him for the game deciding 4th down conversion.

All three are huge upgrades over Jeff Heath.

I'll see your "director of media relations", and raise you with this:

Jeff Heath can not tackle. We noted last year in this space that Heath had more missed tackles (11) than defeats (six). The problem got worse in 2018, as Heath's 22 broken tackles were the second-most allowed in the league. Heath just isn't a starting-caliber strong safety; he's a quality special teams player who has been promoted beyond his skill set. Bringing in a new safety -- either strong or free, as Woods would do just fine moving into the strong safety position -- would help a defense that ranked 19th or worse when covering tight ends, running backs, or third wideouts.

He took less to go back to the Colts? Interesting.

Nothing wrong with a little loyalty which is hard to find in today's business world.

 

[texbumthelife]

Not sure but we had the biggest one.

How do you know this?

DT and safety...until they change their mindset on these positions, the defense can't take the next step. we are just spinning our wheels

I'm 100% with you.

Yes, it's truly frustrating to watch this crew act like they "know better" only to see them fail at it year after year after year.

One would think that they'd get tired of being wrong at some point. And yet, here we are...

Here we go with the delusional Cowboys FO...last year they didn't need a WR1 for example.

After the playoff lose these were my Top 2 positions of need. After every year these are the Top 2 positions of need. This team has a fatal flaw of not securing the defense up the middle, and they won't win until they do.

At 58, hopefully a S is the pick, but they don't value that...so DE again probably.

Wait
CZ homers kept telling me we shouldn't sign him because the colts with a lot of cap space were letting him walk

So now what?
