I have a good feeling about our O-line next year

[Irvin88_4life]

No, you're a joke.

You're wrong and you won't admit it.

Seattle was 7th in rushing efficiency and 8th in passing efficiency.

You're wrong.

So deal with it.





YR

Seattle had 2 interception(1 td), safety, 2 fumble recoveries........their offense had 200 yards passing and run game almost 140 yards.

Seattle beat Denver by defense not passing the ball. Denver was the number 1 offense that year breaking records but lost to Seattle on defense and ability to run the ball.

Keep trying though

It's one game. That's not a big sample size.

If the Seahawks don't pass the ball efficiently, they don't even make it to the Super Bowl.

Good grief.

I was talking about superbowl before you wanted to jump in and comment on what you had no idea about. Beat thing to do is learn reading comprehension.

Continue with your rant though dude

Talking about one single game to prove any point is idiotic. End of story.

It wasn't like Seattle's passing offense was poor that year. They ranked 8th in passing efficiency according to Football Outsiders.

But, keep trying though.





YR

They were #1 in rushing.

I think you would be surprised how a truly dynamic back with speed, power and vision would perform behind this line. He would not only make explosive plays but open things up for the passing game.

We have Romo, Dez and Witten. I don't think most of the people you are arguing with would decline to add QB early but a guy like Henry would have a chance to smash the rushing record.

You keep moving the goalposts. You said name one more after the most recent Superbowl. Now when you are given another example, you are saying mentioning one is stupid.

Ideology makes one stupid. REductio ad absurdum.

Haha idiot trying to call someone else an idiot.

I'm talking about winning championships not regular season and not only that Denver winning the superbowl this year was the basis for my comment but you tried to make it about something else. You asked me to name another team that won a championship that way I named Seattle then you tried to make it about regular season, now you talking about one game. ....last I checked that's two games.

Was you born ******** or you just become this way over time.

Keep trying

Collins is going to cement this line into a road grading machine from hell.

We need to get either Henry, Collins or Elliott to run behind this line.

I had a good feeling about our line last year and the year before...

And that comes with Russell Wilson's ability to run the ball which not only counts Wilson's production as a runner, but it helps a RB like Lynch as well. We don't have that with Romo and quite frankly, I think Wilson is going to be a once in a lifetime QB because he can throw the ball effectively, run effectively and doesn't get hurt. Usually we don't see that unless we get a Cam Newton type.

We couldn't win last year in large part because we had no passing attack. A great running game will not open up the passing game like a great passing game will open up the running game.

I think even with Denver this year, they still had Peyton Manning who was good enough to keep defenses off kilter...if by anything on reputation, alone. And as Alexander pointed out...you're not going to sustain great defenses for very long in this league because of the salary cap and players on defense are more than twice than likely to get injured than offensive players.

And believe it or not, I generally tend to believe that the RB position is undervalued in the NFL. I just don't see it being a problem for the Cowboys at this moment and we have much bigger fish to fry.

You don't know what you're talking about. When I talk about getting to the championship...you talk about 1 freaking game. You can't win a Super Bowl if you don't get to it first.

I'm done with you. Your comments have been utter nonsense.

I'm not moving the goal posts. I've been talking about a Super Bowl winning team. Name me others that passed the deficiently throughout the year that won the Super Bowl in the past 15 years.

The case for the Seahawks was made and I thoroughly refuted that nonsensical and non-factual argument.

The Steelers beat the Rams in the Super Bowl despite having a -2 turnover margin. Should we just say that turnover margin doesn't mean anything because the Steelers won the Super Bowl with a -2 turnover margin?

Of course not. It's ridiculous.

[DC Cowboy]

Ramsey in the first.
Henry in the second.
Next 4 rounds - QB/DT/LB/CB in whatever order gets us the most talent.

I would be ok with this IF we could sign Malik Jackson as a FA.

 

[DC Cowboy]

Naw, that's what Tony Romo does...passes. Tunsil would put up an offensive iron curtain when added to the line.

this may be true but what about the Defensive Line and Backfield?

 

[CowboyRoy]

Collins is going to cement this line into a road grading machine from hell.

We need to get either Henry, Collins or Elliott to run behind this line.

Elliot is not top 4 pick material. Elliott will be a bust in this league.

The line has been the best in the league for two years now. Are you really just feeling good about it now?

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Not contenders, not suck enough to get a top qb if Romo is injury free. Why wait until next year? No guarantee we will be in top 10, much less at #4. Our defense isn't anywhere near Carolina's or Seattle's. They have that going for them, we don't. With our secondary, lack of a consistent pass rush and creating turnovers.

Our offense is better than both of theirs though.

 

[Nightman]

Not saying you in particular but in general to those who think that we have to have Elliott and if that means taking him at 4, take him at 4 (which has been said by some here).

I think that EE would be a true difference maker on this team.

Most people think he is worth a top15 pick but not a top4.

Problem is we have #4. I would much rather take him early and get him for the next 5-6 years than miss out over 10 draft spots.

Besides QB, I think the gap from EE to Henry and Collins is much bigger than the gap between other positions that you are allowed to pick at 4.

EE and Nassib >>>> Buckner and Collins
EE and BMiller >>>> Treadwell and Henry
EE and JSmith >>>> MJack and Henry
EE and DThompson >> Ramsey and Collins

 

[DC Cowboy]

I hope the front office does not select Ramsey. That would be a disaster. QB, RT, WR, DE, LB, or DT should be the first pick.

What's wrong with Ramsey in your opinion?

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

One, everything I have seen indicates that next year's quarterback crop looks weaker, not stronger.

And two, do you anticipate going 4-12 again or worse and again be drafting in the top five?



They still stomped a mud hole in this Cowboys team - with Romo and Bryant on the field. They were the measuring stick in the NFC and the Cowboys didn't come close to measuring up.

Yeah but let's be honest they didn't see a healthy Cowboys team. We can pretend like Romo and Dez weren't playing hurt but I don't think we'd be telling the truth to ourselves.

 

[DC Cowboy]

Not once did I ever come away thinking the Cowboys were losing because of the running game. Instead, they lost because they didn't have a QB after Romo got hurt and they are still questionable on defense with a lousy secondary. In fact, I often thought about how productive our running game was despite having no QB, no Dez and going thru 173 #2 tailbacks with no Dunbar until we found the right guy at the 2-spot in Turbin.


My question is did we lose b/c we didn't have a decent backup QB or b/c our coaching staff failed to make the proper adjustments? Just something that I thought on.

It's still reductio ad absurdum. You can insist on your paradigm all you want. I keep saying that the two are interrelated and you just repeat yourself ad nauseum.

You're an ideologue. Youre not going to be convinced but for most people, they can see that without Lynch and the running game that Seattle offense would not pass as efficiently. It all works in tandem. Then of course there is the reality of how Linehan and Garrett run the Cowboys offense.
