We're stacked at DE but razor thin at DT.

I can't bring myself to watch 9 and a 1/2 minutes of Fisher without being medicated.

Who's Mike Fisher?

My theory is that Mike Fisher wants to be the next Mickey Spagnola, lol.

Wouldn’t surprise me if Taco gets some 3 tech reps.

 

[SoupcanSam]

Well he did mention some interesting stuff about the cowboys and earl Thomas around the 7:00 mark

Dline is NOT paper thin. At DT, the Cowboys have a late 1st round pick (Jones), mid-2nd round pick (Ward) and early 3rd round pick (Collins), plus standout Irving. They also have a few of contributors from last year backing those 4 guys up (Ash, Price, Neal, Ross). They are 4 deep at each position, and even with Collins our through mid-August, and Irving suspended the first 4 games, they have sufficient talent to man the inside. This also doesn't include Taco Charlton and Tyrone Crawford, who can both move inside on passing downs.

The real issue for many fans and pundits is that the Cowboys are not addressing the DT position they way others want them to address it. They prefer pressure players, and many want big fat run stuffers. But Collins is over 300 lbs. as are Ash, Price and Ross. Contrary to the opinions of some, it's not necessary to have a 340 lb. monster in the middle. Collins is near 310. Price, Ash, and rookie Woods are all in the 320 range. Even the "small" DT's are 290 or more. Maliek Collins is 1 lb. heavier than Ndamukong Suh. Collins is plenty big enough to play the 1-tech position. And he'll be back before the season starts.

Paper thin? Not even.

The lengths some people will go to defend anything and everything.

LDE - DLaw Taco Crawford Ealy Jones
RDE - Gregory Armstrong Tapper
1T - Price Ash
3T - Collins Irving Ward

And the DE and DT subpositions are interchangeable. We are 2 deep at every position.

Not nearly the lengths that people will go to to criticize and complain.

Are you saying you feel good about the Cowboys defensive tackle situation?

If so, I'd be happy to debate that with you.

Retched at the tackle position, for sure, imo, Stash. But we are deep at edge. I do think saying we are "paper thin" at DL is a stretch, despite our inadequacy at the tackle position.

Also, LOL Mike Fisher. What a hack

 

[Tangle_Foot]

Haven't given up on Malik Collins, he like Terrance Williams hasn't missed a game yet. Like them or not they both play hurt and there's something to be said for that. I really hope Malik can put those foot problems behind him, I think he has a high ceiling and I'd love to see him playing at that level.

I'm really hoping for a healthy camp and viewing the finished product forged by competition rather than misfortune.

Isn’t that true of everything in life?

I keep forgetting about Antwaun Woods. He had a pretty good preseason last year.

I haven't either, Tangle. So long as he is moved back to the 3T permanently.

We're loaded with defensive end options, no doubt. Some might even say overstocked.

But the excuses for what we don't have at defensive tackle? Yeah, those are lame. We're not "good" there at all.

I love his response to the "No. 1 receiver" question beginning at 7:25.

Definitely agree there, my brother.
