@ the op, the cowboys rarely do what they should do.
Jerry wanted Mingo to play so he will, other than that lol there is no telling who plays or how much.

They now have will grier, so I am wondering if they will play him now over the other 2 ??

Deuce has been given opportunities and hasn’t done anything with them. He’s not big enough to play RB in the NFL and he can’t black. His size is a detriment which is why they don’t play him. At least Zeke can block. They’re keeping him around for insurance in case of injuries.

I believe he's done that successfully :laugh:

Mike and company are trying to win games. I don’t expect to see any of the youth starting any time soon.

After the Eagles game, I'm convinced Mike and Co. don't want to win games. And they are too stubborn and stupid to evaluate.

That's what we are going to do now? We are going to "watch" players?

Watch them do what?

Don't bother rooting for your team, the Dallas Cowboys.

However, there is the consolation of watching a handful of players make "business decisions" by not tackling, avoiding contact, and staying away from piles created by potential turnovers.

Enjoy.

Lance should be given every snap to see if he can develop.

I believe he will be used eventually, but who knows when?! It might easily be Monday night, at some point, if Rush falters. If Lance doesn't show signs of development in the games ahead, Will Grier might be the best choice to be our backup QB in 2025.

Trey Lance should be on this list.

  • WR Jonathan Mingo: For no other reason than the draft capital Dallas gave up to acquire him, all eyes will be on Mingo the rest the year. He looks the part of a capable starting WR in the league due to his intriguing size/speed combo, but as of yet remains unproven.
  • WR Ryan Flournoy: The Mingo trade really hurts Flournoy's chances of getting on the field, but the Cowboys should try to get him involved as much as possible anyways. His size, speed, and talent make him an intriguing developmental project worth keeping an eye on.
  • RB Deuce Vaughn: Is the second-year running back just a fun draft story or can he be a significant contributor for the Cowboys? It's time to find out what Vaughn is capable of, probably at the expense of Ezekiel Elliott. After all, he is the only RB under contract heading into next year.
  • iOL T.J. Bass: Zack Martin's replacement? The Cowboys need to find out exactly what they have in T.J. Bass. They could have a hole to fill at RG next season if Martin retires or leaves via free agency and need to determine whether or not Bass is capable of stepping in.
  • OT Asim Richards: With Tyler Guyton inactive last week, Richards got his first start at LT for Dallas. While he was in no way perfect, he did show enough to warrant further evaluation. With Terence Steele as a potential salary-cap casualty, he could be his replacement.
  • DE Marshawn Kneeland: Kneeland looks to be DeMarcus Lawrence's heir apparent starting as soon as 2025. If/when he returns from Injured Reserve he needs as much playing time as possible to prove he's capable of handling an increased role as a starter for next year.
  • LB Marist Liufau: DeMarvion Overshown has been a standout LB for the Cowboys this year, but it's Liufau who we should keep an eye on. Right now he could be in line to take over for Eric Kendricks next year, but that all depends on how well he plays the rest the year.
  • CB Caelon Carson: With Jourdan Lewis potentially leaving via free agency after the season, Carson could be in line to step up and play a starting role either opposite Trevon Diggs or in the slot next year. How he finishes out the 2024 season could confirm that or not.
  • S Juanyeh Thomas: When given the opportunity Thomas has looked the part of a starting caliber safety for the Cowboys. Dallas should use the rest the season to find out if that's true or not with both Malik Hooker and Donovan Wilson as potential salary-cap casualties.
  • S Markquese Bell: Bell helped the team in 2023 playing LB, but as of yet hasn't been given much of a chance to start at his natural safety position. With the Hooker/Wilson as potential salary-cap casualties, it's time to get a better look at him for the future.

Lance and Hoffman Id like to see Hoff take martins spot at least the last 3 games..its a youth movement..need to see different lineups

the problem is you probably haven't had more of a general understanding of Mike McCarthy or maybe you're forgetting he will try to win every game and he's going to absolutely waste the opportunity to use this as a long interview process because he's not gonna be here next year but this should be like preseason starting I don't know two games from now we should be messing with all kinds of lineups and getting all kinds of snaps to these young players but it won't happen I don't think Jerry will allow a full flip like that until it's really over like maybe two games left for him but I don't think Mike cares either I think he's gonna try to win as many games as possible and not lose his roster but I agree the last four games should be all youth movements we should be pulling lamb Martin we should not risk guys some of the starters like Tyler Smith hell even BB I would like to to see Hoffman at center at some point we need to start getting our starters not injured to where they have to rehab into the season next year so there's a point in time where a lot of these guys need to be pulled to keep them from being injured screw their stats in this year's records and stat lines and all that but I don't think our GM or our head coach is thinking like that... They should but they probably won't..
