Think about this for a minute:The DL is very overcrowded here in Dallas. Reports out of camp say that Hyder looks great. He did have himself a season a couple years ago in Detroit. One or 2 of the following are not going to be on this team unless the injury bug thins the herd...
Crawford, Woods, Taco, Armstrong, Covington, and Gregory.
I added Gregory because we just don’t know. If the league suspends him for the season and these other guys play well (Taco/Armstrong/Hyder), how can you continue to carry him?
A surprise is lurking here for sure.
What say you?
Limbo
Tyrone Crawford DT/DE (7 starts at DE, 8 starts at DT in 2018): Cost 7M
Existing Players (not the full list)
M.Collins DT (3-tech): Starter if healthy.
A.Wood DT (1-tech): Starter
DLaw LDE: Starter.
Taco DE: Starter
A.Wood DT (1-tech): Starter
DLaw LDE: Starter.
Taco DE: Starter
New Players
Hyder DE/DT: Cost 1M (has ability to play snaps at DT)
Covington DT (1-tech/3-tech): Cost 1.7M
Trysten Hill DT (3-tech): Rookie Contract
Robert Quinn RDE: Signed to be the starter
Covington DT (1-tech/3-tech): Cost 1.7M
Trysten Hill DT (3-tech): Rookie Contract
Robert Quinn RDE: Signed to be the starter
If all DL are healthy:
3-tech: Collins / Hill
1-tech: Woods (backup Covington)
LDE: DLaw
RDE: Quinn / Big DE
Notice:
Hyder is a big DE.
Taco is a big DE.
Crawford is a big DE or 3-tech DT.
Covington ideal as a 4th DT on game day.
Taco is a big DE.
Crawford is a big DE or 3-tech DT.
Covington ideal as a 4th DT on game day.
Can backup both 1-tech and 3-tech.
Crawford's Status
Not projected to start if others are healthy.
Can't backup the 1-tech spot.
Cost is 7M.
Can't backup the 1-tech spot.
Cost is 7M.
That seems untenable if not starting.
Definitely untenable if not the 3rd DE or 3rd DT.
Definitely untenable if not the 3rd DE or 3rd DT.
Crawford is primarily competing with:
Hyder at DE.
An injury to Collins.
Covington as depth at DT.

I know that Marinelli loves Crawford; however...
Stephen Jones loves cap space.
