Let Jones and the Corners Go

[85Cowboy85]

Part of why Quinn was available is I think he has a long term medical issue. Found this article talking about it:

Byron is a good CB but by no means should we act as if hes irreplaceable. Hes good, not special.

He had a absolutely pathetic play on a run by the QB to the outside for a big gain. He was being blocked by a WR and he just stood there allowing the QB to run to him and never even attempted to disengage his block. It was the epitome of what you should not do in football. If I were a DB coach, I would make everyone watch that play to make sure no one else ever duplicates that play.

I agree, that did look pretty bad. I saw someone post that he was being held, but I didn't see it......and I'm a Jones fan.

Brown, Chido, give Scandi a call back. He was always good at running down the guy that caught the ball. But I do agree with the OP on Bennett and Quinn.

Scandrick couldn’t even stick with the Eagles who have serious CB problems.

 

[cowboyec]

it was chopy in spots but I thought they played well.

The reason we can blitz like we did is because of the cb's. Byron gave up one lucky pass to golden tate. Jesus.

I always thought he was the odd man out in the contract merry go round.

With how we play pass D we probably aren’t getting the most out of him anyway.

Sarcasm. Dude was not good in his prime.

Go watch a few Eagles games and take a look at that **** show

Byron played well, albeit the one ‘one handed’ catch near the goal line which was just a great play. Yes, he dosent get INTs, I get it, but if we did have a ballhawk safety or Cb on the other side of the field.. Byron would be just fine as the #2 CB.

Awuzie unfortunately just isn’t that guy. I had hopes that he could build on his rookie season, but he’s looking more like a ‘meh’ player by the week. But I agree, We definitely need to upgrade the secondary.

I though Lewis played well and still think he would get even better if they’d actually play him more. He just seems to make plays every game he gets extended playing time.

Like many have posted before me.. we need a playmaking Safety.. and I really don’t care how we get em.

Xavier is steady, but not what I call a playmaker..although he was gifted a INT tonight.

I like Heath the man, but he definitely should only be backup and special teams ace. I thought Thompson showed a little something tonight after Heath went down.. maybe he gets more playing time.

pro bowler.

 

[Mr Cowboy]

Who cares. Draft a corner and saftey early. We seem to draft corners better than lineman anyway.

It doesn't matter who plays CB, they won't get interceptions. Been like this for years. There's CBs in the NFL who have twice as many interceptions by themselves than do the Cowboys.

firstly, he wasn't expecting the run. then if he broke off from the wr, his only move would have been to the inside as he and the wr were locked up near the sideline and jones would have then run up the sideline. difficult position to be in, but he helped make the stop.

 

[ultron]

Some of you guys say really really weird things that make no sense. Daniel Jones averaged 3.7 passing yards per play tonight lmao.

I'm willing to bet our DBs have one of the highest 'contested ball' rates in the NFL.

Awuzie started fine with some nice plays but always seems to have 2-3 screw ups.

Now imagine if Dallas would have went after Minkah Fitzpatrick.

The Dline is the most important group. This team seems to have problems drafting lineman high but has no problem finding corners. Id rather sign proven pass rushers to help Dlaw than draft projects that may or maynot workout.

With his speed, I think had he broken off from the receiver sooner, he may have been able to stop him sooner. Or, like you said, it may have given Jones more room up the sideline...hard to say. It did sort of look like he was gauging the angle, and deciding when to go for it, but I obviously don't know what was going on in his head.

The guys you want to get rid of are the corners we drafted lol.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I’d take him over awuzie

Oh you're crazy then. They said during the telecast quarterbacks are throwing at him and having a success rate of 70%. That's insane. No matter how much you dislike Awuzie he's never been that bad.
