This whole situation which I said from july was a season just being done to keep continuity of the league afloat, has actually positioned Dallas well with the Eagles win tonight. They’d currently have the No. 9 pick
If you’re not a true contender and right now Dallas is not, the best is to get the best draft pick possible and let McCarthy actually have an offseason to assess this team.
Aside from Diggs, there’s no sure answer of who will still be on the team in 2 years on defense. He may be the only member of the secondary here even next year. The DL is all a mismatch of past their prime vets and underachieving draft picks and the LBs have all had injuries rob them of their potential.
Dak is playing great but with LC out for the season, this team is not getting in a shootout with KC or Seattle and winning.
The worst thing that could happen is go 8-8 and win the East. Better to miss the playoffs and have a real offseason to assess the damage. I have confidence McCarthy can get it done. Most DCs should beg to come here. This offense can take 95% of teams deep into the playoffs.
I can’t totally blame Nolan because going from the most basic scheme in the last 25 years to one of the most exotic was always going to be a disaster without practice. But now they’re stuck in between. They don’t blitz but they don’t play soft to keep everything in front either.
I’m at least encouraged they’re trying a new scheme/personnel every week hoping something sticks and not just saying this is what we are.
Most likely just the 1st and 2nd round picks will be the ones to make a difference next year. So given that my top two wishes are a CB opposite Diggs and a LB that can tackle and stay healthy.
