How Many Cowboys Would Start on the Eagles?

[Einstein]

Offense - Ceedee, Smith, and in a 2 TE set Fergy
Defense - Micah, DMo (prior to the injury), Lewis (in the slot), Bland, and possibly Kendricks with Osa getting in on the DT rotation.
ST - 17, 5, and 9, LS is a wash

@Scottishcowboy asks a question on another thread....how many Cowboys would start on the Eagles? Take out special teams and I would say two, Micah and Ceedee. Doesnt that show how far away we are from competing with the Eagles? How many do you say?

You're trying to tell me that you don't think Prescott could run that offense with that run game and that offensive line I don't know what you're smoking or what you're implying but stop giving the eagles flowers first of all I don't wanna hear about the eagles I'm tired of hearing about the eagles I hope the chiefs curb stop them and send them with their tail between their legs just like I'm happy that Washington got embarrassed that is what you do with rivals but Prescott can throw 155 yards a game just like everyone over rates Troy Aikman and yes Roger Staubach because a look at the roster they played with when your GM gives you an all in roster they all work together as a team it's a team game trying to figure out which one of our teams wouldn't start over there I'm telling you Prescott to me I still say he's better than jalen hurts but if you just wanna take a step down from being a Homer and say they're equal let's just say they're equal but Prescott would be having the same success with that run game and that offensive line I guarantee it got better receivers like as far as depth a better tight end I mean you're telling me that Prescott wouldn't be a substitute for jalen hurts i don't know what you're smoking.

Have you looked at jalen hurts numbers when they're winning these games he's at 155 yards passing I know he has a little bit better legs but Prescott would make that up in passing with that type of supporting cast you better believe it you better believe you put Prescott on some of these other teams that have been all in that have all this talent he's gonna start as well he's as good as most of these players you just don't see it and that's just blind of you to be supporting the eagles which leads me to the next step which is I don't have to read your stuff anymore...

Short answer:
Not many.

 

[blueblood70]

Bell,, Turpin, Aubrey, Parsons. CeeDee Lamb . Bland

I know you guys don't see it but I think it's pretty sad that you don't look at what their offense looks like with one of the best run games in the league the best offensive lines in the league depth at targets for passing and you don't think Prescott could be as good as jalen hurts or better on that team that's what you need to be looking at so yes I think Prescott needs to be added to that list and I also thank you for getting Tyler Smith you don't think that he belongs on that list?

I mean I'm betting if you looked closely he could replace one of those lineman at any position I'm betting now if you look there would be a place for Tyler Smith on that team but Prescott would definitely be successful with that kind of lineup jalen hurts is only half the pass for 155 yards a game best offensive lines in the game and he's half the time not on the same page with his receivers and tight ends people are overrating jalen hurts and underrating Prescott because of the teams they're on..

Huff hasn't really sniffed the field since the 1st half of the season from what I have seen. Nolan Smith and Sweat have taken the majority of the DE snaps. Really Huff is the one bad signing Howie had in FA. Interesting to see if they keep Huff this off-season.

Hurts’ ability to run has to be accounted for by opposing defenses. It is an advantage to the Eagles’ offense they would not have with Prescott at quarterback.

You expect others to read your excessive responses and have the nerve to suggest you “don’t have to read” another poster’s “stuff anymore…”. You’ve got some nerve. Wish you had some punctuation.

Overshown doesnt even have a functional leg right now, you cant take him as a starter over anyone with that serious of an injury where he might not even play in 2025. Huff also isnt a starter nor does he play the same position as Overshown...throughout this years playoffs he has 13 total snaps. There is zero chance anyone would take Liufau over either of Phillys LBs. Even if you count out Dean due to injury Oren Burks has played very well filling in. Diggs? No chance after his down year. Bland you could make an argument for, but I'm guessing you dont watch many Eagles games because they have maybe the best trio at the position in the league.

Just because you have no idea what you're talking about doesn't make everyone else an Eagles fan.

He played in 12 games he got paid $17 million and only had 2 1/2 sex even in acks.. So yes, he was a big time free agent edition that failed so far it happens the guy had only 7 sacks for the prior three years total and had 10 sacks in his career contract year that's what you have to try to avoid and free agency is paying $17 million for a player that wasn't worth 4..

No two years prior Howie Roseman had a problem getting defensive backs linebackers he overpaid for guys he made bad trades like yes he's better than Jerry but he is not mistake free and right now from the looks of it I told you kendricks and bond are about a Wash... The big free agent move that put the eagles over the top quite obvious was one saquon Barkley the rest of those moves were not stuffed Jerry doesn't do there were one year contracts for a lot of those defensive backs they drafted a good defensive back that stuff Jerry does do but yes there is no argument Howie Roseman is better but I'm just saying buyer beware there's a lot of these Bryce huff type players that are getting paid in free agency in week 1 and they are not living up to expectations

Some really odd comments in this thread:

Obviously AJ Brown is our #1 receiver

Everyone plays 11 personnel, why are we even arguing about CD? Lamb is the most prolific slot receiver in the NFL; All 3 receivers would start

Eagles have 2 really good safeties, they’re a major reason we’re the #1 defense. Jayden shredded us in the second Washington game in large part because CJGJ got thrown out early. He and Blankenship are ~75 PFF grade. Marquese Bell is a 50

Of course Tyler Smith would start for the Eagles, but he’d be the RG

Jalen vs Dak will be a never ending convo as Romo vs Mcnabb was. Jalen does what we like and Dak does what you like. But our offense is built around Jalen’s skillset and is a large reason Saquon reached 2k. Those giant holes are affected by spies, jokers, continuous edge blitzes to contain Jalen. If you feel Jalen is a substandard passer, all the more reason the defense needs to sell out on preventing him from scrambling for easy first downs.

Corners are tougher, all 4 guys are really good when fully healthy. But you’d really rather have Jourdan Lewis over Cooper Dejean? Cooper was the 4th highest graded corner in the NFL last year

Turpin is obvious, Micah is obvious, Aubrey used to not be obvious but after this year he unfortunately is. I’ll take Nolan Smith and Josh Sweat over Overshown though. But maybe in time that will change

Osa? He’s a good player, but c’mon.

 

[Swagger]

Prescott still better than Jalen

Do the Cowboys get the Eagles coaching them?

Agree with all this except...Hurts makes a far bigger difference at the quarterback position to an offense than Dak Prescott. Hurts poses a threat with his wheels which helps the running game and will open up the passing game as defenses can't cover him, Barkley and the receivers on every single play. Dak tore his hamstring running for a couple of yards and he is not a pure pocket passer. His body is broken by this point in his career to compound matters. It's a no contest.

I'm not a team wins guy to reflect the ability of a quarterback stat but for those who are Hurts will have played in 2 Superbowls whilst Dak has not even been able to reach the NFC Championship game with loaded rosters in 2022 and 2023 and a team capable of doing so in 2016 but for terrible quarterback play in the first quarter and a half against one of the worst pass defenses in playoff history in the NFL.

Playoff comparison

Prescott
win/loss: 2-5
Total TDs: 18
Interceptions: 7
Rating: 91.8

Hurts
win/loss: 5-3
Total TDs: 17
Interceptions: 2
Rating: 93.1

Dak also got to massage his stats against a truly horrific Tampa Bay team and stayed in the game against the Packers to pad his stats after the game was well and truly over having thrown awful interceptions whilst Hurts played lights out in his first Superbowl appearance but the team came up short. Will he get it done with a better defense next week...

Better team top to bottom IMO, with the exception of maybe OC. I’m biased, I acknowledge, but I think this is the best team KC has seen in a SB. Doesn’t mean we’ll win, but we have the ability to do things to KC that they haven’t seen done to them in awhile

 

[TwentyOne]

Yeah, that’s why he would thought opposite him. And you’re doubtless opinion is based on what

opposite of whom?

Why arent you answering my questions?

Why are you typing stuff i have to ask what you meant?
Cant you take 5 minutes to write understandable and clear words? Arent other DC fans worth that for you?


I think Lamb wouldnt start for him because he wouldnt fit there. Their #1 WR is better than Lamb and whats more important he is way faster.
That coupled with AJ Brown is a great combination. I dont see where Lamb can fit in there. Lamb is not very strong nor is he very fast. AJ Brown is the better possession WR and DeVonta is way better deep threat.

So where do you want to put Lamb? #3 WR? For Dotson? OK.
But i dont think the eagles bust their 3 WR set (best of the NFL) up just because Lamb is better than their #3. Lamb is more of a posession WR. he would challenge AJ which again in my opinion he wouldnt be able to.

Lamb is not a good fit there.

 

[dstew60105]

Bell,, Turpin, Aubrey, Parsons. CeeDee Lamb . Bland

Tyler Smith

 

[dstew60105]

I doubt CD would start

You're high. CeeDee would be the best receiver on their team.

 

[TwentyOne]

You're high. CeeDee would be the best receiver on their team.

Thanks for the personal offense.
Always the best way if you want to be seen as a serious person who has something meaningful to say when you start a conversation that way.

But anyways back to your more or less precious comment: I doubt that. Just because he got a big contract from our two dumbos that doesnt mean he is a great WR.

But thats not the only reason. I doubt the Eagles would break their leagues best WR tandem for Lamb. Why should they risk that?

 

[SuperBowlz]

This thread just shows how short sighted so many fans are.
The same eagles defense that was near the bottom of the league a season ago when they all crapped the bed and went through 2 def cord mid season is now so amazing the only guy who could start is Micah... Isn't it crazy what coaching and scheme can do for a team?

Let's take our players right after coming off a god awful season and compare those to the eagles players heading into the SB.
Let's ignore the entire body of work of both teams and players over the last few years.

Oh well. Typical Cowboys fan behavior.

I see your point but the Eagles D is completely different then last year
1. Jalen Carter made the jump to the best DT in the league
2. Quinyon Mitchell is new and elite
3. Cooper DeJean is also an elite excellent draft pick
4. CJ Gardner made a terrible secondary into an elite one with the addition of the two other DB rookies
5. Zack Baun made 1st team all pro
6. Nakobe Dean came back from injury this year and was very good.

That's 6 new starters added to a Defense that was bad.

 

[SuperBowlz]

You're high. CeeDee would be the best receiver on their team.

Cee Dee would be tremendous on Philly and as good as Devonta Smith is as a 2 he isn't close to as good as Cee Dee.
