This may seem like a poster just ranting and raving, but this team needs to shake up the roster in the worse kind of way. Here is what should happen but won't. I think you can pretty much count the New England game as a loss so I would use it to implement changes and see how the take hold.
The safeties have been absolutely horrendous lately. I think we have seen enough from both Wilcox and Church to realize that we need to get a real free safety. I think you have to bench JJ Wilcox and put Byron Jones at FS full time. He has played well when he is in the game. I do think he will make some mistakes, but this coaching staff will just have to live with him. Wilcox and Church are not going to get better. Byron Jones will. I would then have Wilcox and Church play only as a SS in the box type role and try not to let them cover too much in space.
Tyler Clutts offers absolutely nothing. He should be cut and the cowboys should bring in Henry Hynoski. The guy is healthy and he does not play special teams, but at least he blocks his man. Clutts only plays a handful of plays, bring in a real FB to try and open up the running game.
Put Devin Street on IR if able and if not cut him and Lucky Whitehead. Neither one of them is helping out at WR. Street is hurt but he was not offering much when healthy. I would either go out and sign two receivers from someone else's practice squad or elevate the two receivers from the Cowboys practice squad. I don't think you can justify playing Street anymore.
Bench Doug Free. Its obvious that his foot is really bothering him. He was never a strong physical blocker and was always more of a positional blocker. Without his mobility he is not able to get in position consistently. I think he is definitely the weak link on the O line. I would start La'el Collins and not look back. He will make some mistakes but he will get better. Ronald Leary is better than Doug Free. The coaching staff needs to do something rather than watch Free continue to flounder like a beached whale.
Lastly bench Joseph Randle and give the bulk of the carries to Christine Michael. We need to dump the RBC approach, it isn't working. We need to allow the running back to try and get into a rhythm. I wouldn't cut Randle, but I wouldn't give him significant playing time either. McFadden will have to be the new 3rd down running back and try and do some of the things that Dunbar was doing. The only reason I would not cut Randle I because I don't think Montee Ball or Trent Richardson are as good as he is. If they were they would already be on a team. I do think Michael needs to be ridden in the Patriots came to see if he can be a bell cow or not.
