We as fans have to come to grips that this season is over. And it ended in week 2. I dont think people really understood just how important Romo was to this team. Especially one with expectations they had. I really believe if Romo and Dez wouldnt have gotten hurt this team would be 10-1 right now. That lone loss being Carolina. they just dismantled this team. Yes, i think they wouldve beaten NE early in the season.
Nevertheless it's time to continue to root for this team, but most likely we see 4 losses and 5 losses is not out of the question. So expect a top 5 pick is what im saying in the 2016 draft. But dont get caught up in YOUR wants for this team, and just listen to what they tell you. That will save you alot of headaches when they go the opposite direction come FA and the draft. This team is really honest with the public on what they plan on doing and not doing. They've already let out 2 directions that they will pursue.
The first being looking at the possibility of bringing back Hardy. I dont think the level of interest has changed from this team. The Jones like him, Garrett probably wouldnt mind seeing him gone. But the Jones seem to want him in that locker room. Now i dont think they are going to offer him an obscene amount of money in a new deal. BUt they wont low-ball him either. Now if another team offers him more he probably walks. But i think this team will try to bring him back. I wouldnt hate either outcome. He helps this team with his play, and him not being here lets Gregory develop more. Because he gets more playing time. Im good with either.
The second one being Romo is going to be the QB for a few more years. I say atleast 3 more yrs. Again i have no problems with that whatsoever. Bring back Cassell or insert Moore into the mix in the next 5 games and see if he can handle the job and let him be the backup going into 2016 if he's good enough. But whats imperative is this team needs to draft a QB. Noway would i spend a top 5 pick on Goff. And i dont think they'll sniff a chance at Lynch. IN this draft the value at QB is in the middle rounds. I can see a RD3 QB like Wentz this yr. Or even a 4th round on a player like Hogan or Kessler. But if Dallas seriously believes in Romo having that many years listen to what they say, and what they are basically telling you is dont expect a top QB this yr. Again i have no problems with that.
Dallas really needs to do something about Dez. They guy is a problem. No matter how much you think he's talented and his mouthing off should be considered passion. Bull, the guy is a selfish player who half###es it when the ball isnt going to him. Josh Norman embarrassed him during the game and murdered him after in his comments. And all of it was true. But truth be told Dez is who is and thats never going to change. He's going to be a very talented WR who will take plays off(R Moss) when the balls not going to him. You/We can only hope that his play overshadows his selfishness.
TE posistion, is a slippery slope to talk about. You have a HOF TE and one of the best ever coming into the end of his career. And you have a young TE who only makes plays when he;s in. Which sadly isnt much. What do you do? Of course you cant trade one of the best Cowboys on and off the field, but at the same time you are wasting developmental time in your young TE. This is one of the worst coaching management areas this team has had. Escobar is a nightmare for teams to cover but its a sad thing we never get to see it. When he's in there all he does is move the chains. This team needs to find out ways to get him on the field, Somehow...Someway.
OL, is pretty intact but Free seems to have declined, not much but he has his bad days. Dallas has options here at RT tho. they can continue to go with the Vet, or give Chaz Green a shot which they probably will in the final 5 games at some point. If he doesnt fit the bill there is always Collins. But i dont think this teams sees him as anything as their stud LG. Where does that leave Leary? It sucks but he will probably be a backup in Dallas in 2016. Unless they trade him. He will be a RFA so his options are limited. But if a teams wants to offer him more than Dallas ill be happy to take that draft pick. If i was Dallas i would slap that RD2 tender on him with probably will be around 2.5 mil. Which IDK if anybody tries to pry him out of Dallas. Maybe a team with a late RD2 pick.
WR posistion needs work. Dallas can keep Dez, TW and Beasley and the rest can go away. Because theyre all worthless. Dallas needs a payer who can stir it up against opposing teams. No secret my guy in this draft is Braxton Miller. He could come in and do alot for this team in the passing game and in the return game. He can spread you thin in the middle and take you deep. He is what this team wants Lucky to be but isnt talented enough to do it. Think Dallas needs 2 WRs from this draft. One atleast that will start.
RB IDK where this team stand right now. Since McFadden has been inserted he has been OK. Nothing special but nothing that i would care if they replaced. I would much rather see Turbin in Dallas instead of McFadden. But i think both will be in Dallas. Think the one who gets replaced is Dunbar. He showed some nice things but again not enough that i could say he cant be replaced by a rookie. But then after Elliot and Henry the RBs down in talent and not by a little. I see people talking bout Booker but the guy is too think for the way Dallas runs the ball. Unless they pick up somebody in FA McFadden and Turbin are probably the primary ball carriers in 2016.
The defensive line has its questions. What to make of Demarcus Lawrence is the biggest one. I just dont think he's very good. I wouldnt mind seeing a player like Carl Nassib drafted to play the strong side. If Hardy is brought back i would love to see him on the strong side and let Gregory play the weakside. Either way i think this team needs to bring in another DE wether that be to start on the strong side or for depth. Mincey i dont think will be back.
Leads up to DT where i think Dallas needs alot of work. First i would have Crawford gain some weight and move him over to the 1tech. He's shown he is strong enough to handle that spot. He constantly takes on double teams. Thats part of the reason why he hasnt put up the numbers because teams are doubling him instead of Hayden. Thats the reason why Hayden has gotten a fairly good amount of tackles in the backfield. Hayden leads the DL in tackles once again this yr. He's not beating double teams to get thos tackles. So Dallas needs another DT to come in and play with Crawford. I like Irvin but i wouldnt want him starting. Dallas i would hope would spend a pick in the first 3 rounds on a DT.
LBer is a mess after this yr. IDK if McClain is back, wouldnt care if he isnt. He shows flashes on great play but its not enough. MLB should be the leader of that defense. But he's a spectator. Hitchens i would like to see him back at MLB to be honest. He doesnt seem to be comfortable playing the sam. I have two LBers i love to be in Dallas with the draft. No secret who they are. I would love for both. Jack and Matakevich. Both beasts at the posistion.
CB is a spot where theres options. Scandrick will be back and he will be a starter. after that theres Patmon and Jones if they keep him at CB. If they can get Claiborne back at a decent price i think Jones moves to FS and they go to the draft for more CBs. Carr is gone.
Safety is again i think all in limbo until the claiborne situation is figured out. If he goes or stays. I dont think we will see both Church and Wilcox on the team next yr. I think one of the two is gone. and i think its church. Dallas saves 2.75 mil in cutting Church. Heath is going to play a role next yr thats for certain. He's improved his coverage and he's always been a solid tackle. He's basically a cheaper version of Church now. I can see a rookie come in and start. I like Jeremy Cash and Jones starting for the Cowboys.
If theres a coach i can see getting fired this yr i can see a few:
Derek Dooley WR coach
Jerome Henderson DBs coach
Joe Baker S coach
