How do we fix the offense?

[Cowboyny]

-Has to start with fixing their run game. Are Steele/Biaz future core starters? Will they start their best five along the OL? Immediate need is a starting Guard, also another one needed to replace Martin down the line. Darnell Wright, Avilia both have the versatility that they covet and protects them for the future at both RT and Center. Also, need a complement back to Pollard. Stephen already stated they prefer to add more of a power back. 3rd-4th rd range, there are a ton that fill that need very well.

-Team has to replace the lost production of Dalton Shultz, who was Dak's go to guy to move the sticks. This could be accomplished by adding another TE or adding a high-end slot receiver. They never have employed a mismatch, modern TE like a Dalton Kincaid. We saw how successful Dak was when he had Cole Beasley. This class has a ton of this type of receivers. Adding either will add a new dimension to our offense. They also could draft a big x receiver and have Lamb play more in the slot. Point is, they need to add 1 more playmaker to their passing game.

The most successful teams are the ones who can beat you in many different ways. Cooks was a good start to add deep speed, now we have to add another underneath weapon and shore up the OL.

 

[Killerinstinct]

I think Turpin could be a weapon. Just need to get him the ball in space instead of trying to use him exclusively on Jet Sweeps.

 

[Smith22]

Priority in my opinion is LG (assuming Tyler is LT), then RB.

We need a starting LG in a bad way and we need someone to split time with TP.

 

[Outlaw Heroes]

Realistically, you need to get yourself a top five pick. Ideally, the #1 overall. Then you need some luck and some patience.

 

[morasp]

Right now, other than a stop gap WR who I think should help in the short term, they are worse than when they only scored 12 against the 49ers. Dak is the QB for now so they need to get better at WR, Better OL, better RB, and another TE would be nice.

Unpopular opinion, but this is the year to punt on an interior OL. From our pick and beyond, I see average starters. Take a traits guy on day 3, and look for interior OL next year

Guys like Addison and Flowers can play both slot and outside. JSN played mostly slot, but I think you could move him around and play him on the boundry of you wanted. Johnson is outside only, Downs is slot only and Mingo is both. Not sure if I am forgetting anyone. Mingo may be there best get, even if they are burning a 2nd (which is where he is starting to be projected at)

I like Schmidt as a guy we coumd target round 1 but I like McClendon Curtis as much as Torrence. Just not in round 1.

I don't see them targeting Smitchz with Biadasz coming off a strong season, and I wouldn't draft him in round 1 to play OG. I know Biadasz is heading into a contract year, but I donr think they are looking to replace him. They have only met with two other OC's during the whole process ( Forsyth and Scruggs) and both are late day 3 guys.

Not saying that you're wrong by any means, but what do the Cowboys do to get him in space? To me a receiver has to prove that he can actually be a receiver before teams respect him as anything other than a gadget player. He had a little over 60 snaps on offense last year which led to 1 completion. That tells me that either he isn't a very good receiver or the Cowboys don't trust that he is a good receiver at this point in his career. If I'm a defense until I get burned I'm going to play Turpin aggressive and make him show that he can beat me. Last thing I would do is let him run free in space, which can make the jet sweep and bubble screen the only easy option, neither of which the Cowboys have had much success with.

The other issue I see with getting Turpin more touches is he mostly lined up in the slot last year. This while a minor issue is still an issue as you have two players in Lamb and Cooks who heavily line up in the slot.

Again, not saying you're wrong, I would love to see Turpin be a factor, but I think the logistics of getting Turpin the ball in space is going to be tougher than we think.

They are looking at both, plus another receiver.

Keep in mind, they have a history of converting Tackles inside, that gives them more options.

Met with Schmitz and Avilia who can play the Center position.

Ya but that is pretty much it. And no one is drafting Avila to play OC. At least not where they would draft him to play OG

Do you remember a bunch of examples of Turpin being thrown the ball but not being able to catch it? You have to design the plays and call them in order for them to happen. I would like to see him in 3 receiver sets lined up next to Cooks with Cooks going deep and Turpin having the ball thrown to hip quickly where he is given the time to beat the one defender covering him with his quickness and speed.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

You can’t without a different QB. They’ve been ranked “ the top offense” several times in the last couple years but when it comes down to clutch situations the QB is the problem. The best bet is that the defense dominates and you draft a 1500 RB.

 

[cnuball21]

Add another body to the TE room, RB room, additional competition at LG and a young WR to compete with Tolbert.

Like you said start the best 5 on OL and I feel like Cooks is going to make a huge difference for us.

Getting rid of zeke was the first step.

Getting a stud guard is #2, getting another talented back in draft is #3

Need another WR(veteran), 1st round OG, 2nd round TE.
