Gosselin: Having waited so long to address pressing needs, are Cowboys any better?

[thisiscowboyscountry]

When McFadden was a rookie he was on the Raiders. How good was their offensive line? Who was their quarterback? Did they have a Dez Bryant as a receiver?

I think Zeke is better then McFadden was coming out anyway.

Elliott is stronger than Mcfadden was, though not as fast. They're similiar talents im terms of size and attributes. With that said Elliott has a stronger base and appears more durable to carry the full workload. All im saying is this will not immediately be workhorse Elliott and will share carries early. As long as Mcfadden and Morris are healthy and on the team they will get significant playing time. See Chester Taylor, in Adrian Peterson's rookie year. Its certainly not out of the realm of possibility that Elliott and Mcfadden each rush for over 1000 yards, and with Morris's contributions the team gets close to 3000 rushing yards in 2016 the most since the 70s. If Elliott is as good as advertised this will be the best rb core in the league behind an excellent line.

The defense has been in the bottom of league for the last 3yrs. Worst at takeways, Cant rush the passer and MAGICALLY is better due to drafting late round players.... WOW.......I see it now....posters chanting this is a Superbowl team

Cowboys have been to the playoffs ONCE in the last 5 years....Jerry has entertained the Fans and the Fans love it. Got some ocean front property in Arizona to sell Cowboys fans

Good points about the defense and pass rush. We need to really fix that side of the ball. I'd like us to assemble a defense like the Broncos/ Seattle/ Carolina

Putting the team into two boxes...Tony on the left and his supporting cast (offense and defense) on the right...I like the box on the right more than I did in 2014. The OL should be stronger just due to players natural progression and the addition of Collins, they've added Jones to the secondary with a year under his belt, and the DL has more depth. The RB's have enough depth that there's really no reason to wear out EE (Randle only had more than 5 carries twice in 2014, and one of them was in garbage time against IND). For me, it really just comes down to Tony and avoiding massive injuries elsewhere.
