Ok, this is what I think, remember that Parcells said, we have a lot of young guys that dont get it yet, to be up for a game like Washington week before carolina, guys like Demarcus Ware, Marcus Spears, David Burnett, Marion Barber-I think he gets it) Rob Petti-remmember he says that coaches tell him what to do, and he does something else and gets into trouble, Julious Jones, Jacob Rogers-for sure didnt get it, Reeves, Jason Witten-i think he is just right at door of getting it by that I mean his blocking is still terrible, Al Johnson and Tucker.
Remember that Bradie James was with the team for 4 years till he got it. Now he is showing stuff coaches thought he was worth to become a good player,
Then, you add in we lost players like Dat that hurt us on defense, especially pass defense, Singleton-OLB, and Flozell Adams. We lost some leadership there, so young guys are not pumping them up.
So, I think someone like Terrell Owens that is used to winning, playing with an attitude like Deion Sanders (I didnt say that I liked or approved of T.O. ) but he can bring a nasty attitude that we have lost on offense especially at WR ever since Michael Irwin got hurt and retired. That is what I think, he can bring that gun ho attitude maybe just for a year, till players get that attitude, then either let him go the next year, or trade him, maybe just sign him 2 years, and then u can trade him. That with T.O at one # 1 WR slot and Keyshawn Johnson at other # 1 WR, with Terry Glenn in slot, and Patrick Crayton coming in to spell the Wr's, no one could cover us even when we go into a 3 WR set, you could keep one TE to help at OT next year now and then, or let Jason Witten come underneath the 2 WR's and tear up teams. That in turn will help the running game, you will have to keep at least 2 defensive backs on T.O, one on Keyshawn, when u go to 3 WR's sets, 2 would have to cover T.O. and 2 Glenn, with Keyshawn beating coverage. Then opposing defenses have to keep that many defensive backs in coverage, just 7 in box, and our running game will be awesome.
For the draft, guys think, we have a 33 year old Larry Allen, a 33 year old Riveria, a 31 year old next year Flozell Adams, we need a young offensive lineman, next year the draft is loaded at OT, and offensive guards, you should be able to get a good one in 2nd round at least. I still have hopes for Stephen Peterman, who was all guard at LSU national championship.
Also with draft, you could draft a young WR in 3rd to 5th round. It can be done, if you really look. I think Parcells is going to draft a ILB like Ahmad Brooks if he comes out this year, remember he told the scouts he wanted all the tape he could get on Brooks, who went to same college that played the 3-4 defense that Chris Canty played at.
To this end, I think Parcells is going to try to trade either Glover or Ellis to move up in the draft to take Brooks if he comes out. I dont agree with that, but I think something like that is going to happen. All Parcells needs now on defense is a good free safety, and a good backup nose guard, or another defensive lineman if he trades Glover or Ellis. Possibly fill those spots with Abraham, or maybe Darrin Howard whom I heard is on his way out of New Orleans, remember it was reported a trade for him, but it fell apart. And Darrin Howard is a young version of Glover.
Also, I think Parcells will take a young if not Brooks a young linebacker in 2nd or 3rd round. That will fill his defense. I do think that Beriout, free safety, whom really is a strong safety will be backup and good next year to Roy Williams.
Another key area that I think Parcells will fill in offseason is at kicker if Sheausbaum, however u spell his name doesnt work out. Parcells did like him..
Finally key area to fill in is at a kickoff specialist, or pure punt returner, I think Parcells will draft one of those at 5-7th round. I do think if Parcells doesnt trade up to get a player, he will trade down to pick up an additional 3rd rounder or 2nd rounder, trade then one of those picks, down again, to get an additional 4th rounder since we traded that for canty to eagles last year. I think, Glover or Ellis can bring a 2nd rounder or move up in draft to get a specific player. So, I say, look out 2006, remember that Parcells said about 3 weeks ago, that the Dallas Cowboys are one good offseason away from the SuperBowl. That means, a few more good free agents in 2006, 3-4 good ones, like this year with Henry, Fergueson, Glenn-Aaron, Riveria, and a another good draft in 2006. Just my thoughts, we need a killer instinct, and I think T.O can bring that to the team, just for one year though.
