Honestly, I take no pleasure in the threads I've made this week. I really don't like feeling angry about this team. So, I'm going to try to make a positive thread here, like I would MUCH prefer doing. Here's what I'm hoping happens in the offseason:
All in all, as frustrating as this season has been, I'm hopeful that it can lead to a brighter future. I'm hopeful that maybe, just maybe, it can create a more physical team in the future. In so doing, perhaps the Cowboys can become contenders. It would be amazing if this season leads to a much more fun future for the team. A horse can dream, right?
- We hire someone like Flores, Ben Johnson, Aaron Glenn, or Mike Vrabel. I think these would be coaches (especially on the defencive-minded side) who can really be better about reinforcing physicality on the team. With them, maybe we can really focus on stopping the run.
- If we go defence at HC, then I want an OC who can focus on the trenches and running the ball. I'd love for us to get someone who can work with Dak in that way. They focus on the run, and, when we are going to throw, that's more for Dak to check to or call. In other words, maybe have it as more of a partnership, but skews more to the rushing attack. Kinda like what we did a decade ago when we were a Murray fumble away from the NFCC. It was so much fun watching us gash teams for massive yards, and then Romo turning around and tearing defences apart. I want to see that again.
- I want Jeanty. A large part of my frustration stems from not getting Henry. I wanted Henry, Zeke, Dowdle, and Luepke. I think, if Jeanty is on the board when we are drafting that we need to take him. He looks like a combo of AP and Derrick Henry. How fun would it be to see him just gash defences? He seems like an old school lead back that can be really exciting to watch run. Him, Dowdle, and Luepke and a quick back for outside runs would be amazing!!
- Run stopping NTs and LBers. I want to see us learn how to be more physical on defence. I want us to be able to stop the run and force takeaways. I think a HC from the defence side and/or a really good DC can do wonders with the defence.
