I don't understand what people thought they were getting picking a DT in the late first round, Russel Maryland? Just watch how he develops over the season.

Our gm has built one of the best rosters in the league. That is why they are a top 3 team in the NFC.
We cannot and have not won anything past the second game in the playoffs in 30 years. Top 3? Omg this is ludicrous.

Mazi looks good in practice. He holds up at point of attack. Clogs the middle. With front line LB's to clean up in the regular season, you will not be able to make such comments. The LB's and DB's last night are not your starters and were overruning the plays and not cleaning up as required.
I'm not buying that, because he's next to hankins who will be DOING HIS JOB, that's going to somehow make him better, or lining up next to OSA who was out there with him will make him better

I’m so glad I don’t have to go anywhere for comedy. I get enough of it right here!! Two preseason games in and we have a Zone expert predicting a bust of epical proportions. At a position where it takes considerable time and growth to even be able to review or examine how well a guy is doing and not doing.

He has one damn job, keep guys off the LBs. How would even the best analyst be able to determine if he’s doing a good job or not if our starting LBs haven’t seen one play during the first two preseason games.

Keep your day job buddy.
Let’s revisit this when Mazi is on the bench for the majority of 2023.

Wanna know what happened to Mazi? It was not having Zack Martin in camp, schooling him and teaching him. Mazi going up against scrubs all training camp did him no favors.

Mazi has in my opinion looked awful in both preseason games. For all the touting his size, strength, and so on just dont see it here. He is pushed around willy nilly on the line and dont believe this is befitting a first round draft pick. I am predicting a bust of Taco proportions here. Just one of the worst pics in Cowboys history. And now with the possibility of Overshown being gone for the season a disastrous 2023 draft. We cannot get to the next level with misses like these and that has been the history in Dallas.
Typical CZ take.

On the bench? Isn't that a little dramatic? Mazi will be a rotational guy while Hankins starts for now. Things will get better. But it will take some time.

The point is regardless, we have nothing for 2023 draft meaning no path to SB.
Schoonmaker looks like he can play, Deuce. Might be the only two guys we get anything out of this past draft. There is still things to be positive about. Tolbert coming on is very good news as well. Maybe Jabril Cox or Isiah Land can backfill the Overshown issue. Land has definitely shown flashes that you want to see from a Rookie.

Yeah that's fine about development, but is it asking him too much to at least make an impression???
That would be nice. But he's not a RB. I remember when we drafted him, saying don't expect much in the first year. We're talking preseason here. The more he sucks in preseason the quicker he'll develop.

I don't have the answers. I don't know why this is with DTs. But they are usually the ones that take the longest to come into their own.

Fanzone supreme disappointment

This forum is filled with experts who really don’t know diddly.

It’s been two preseason games yet if he’s not on track for HOF is a “supreme disappointment”. Even worse, you’re calling it the greatest cowboy bust of all time.

I hate it here sometimes

Thank you for validation what is obvious to most viewers. Sometime fans are impervious to bad news. But just look at him on the line. His strength is touted as legendary and he is pushed around like a rag doll by second teamers.
Look who you’re relying on for validation. Check his history.

You better pinch yourself, this club is in deep trouble because it has no depths at key positions. The top two Michigan picks would be cut on other teams and to top it off our 3 rd pick who looks very promising is staring surgery straight in the eye. Top 3 my ***............LOL!

Mazi's strength and push look fine.. stay with me here and this is the big point... He has to work on his technique.. I know its a shocker that a rookie needs to know more than "See ball get ball" when he comes into the NFL but amazingly enough the diference between NCAA blocking schemes and NFL's is huge. How many NCAA OG/C combo's do you think are around that have the talent to reach block Mazi? Kid's gonna be fine now he is learning how to read the tells of whats comming at him in the NFL.
Thanks for being the voice of sanity !

I know dudes on here like to duck and dodge when confronted with logic. Here's logic. Let's say mazi is serviceable this year (like most first year dts). What is the plan moving forward? Is a team going to trade us a Jeffrey Simmons? Are we going to pay 50 mil to a Dalvin Tomlinson? Are we going to draft ANOTHER rookie dt and do this all over again?

I don't expect anyone to honestly answer because we all know the truth.
