Im going to start with the elephant in the room. Ezekiel Elliot getting black balled or not, put alot of attention on himself for being young and foolish. Knowing the NFL was investigating him he stayed in the story lines for a yr. Right or wrong he would've been smart to lay low. And while the outcome sucks, the judge that ruled was 100% correct. While this case is obviously unjust the NFL has followed its guidelines by the letter of the CBA. The players union agreed to this and with that the NFL can do what it feels is best for the league. And by the letter of the CBA its 100% legal. As fans we see it as normal people and say he wasnt charged so why is he being suspended. Because the NFL is not going to tolerate anything involved with DV because society we live in will crucify the league. Right or wrong this is the world we live in.
I cant see how McFadden would start because for one he has been inactive all yr, if he was the better back i think he would be active or even active over Smith. second, McFadden cant or wont pass block. Ask Romo's back if you need references. I think this Elliot situation is the only reason McFadden is still on the team.
This situation will open up the run game some, because teams are going to play the pass first now until Dallas can prove they can run without Elliot. Alfred and Smith have a combined 23 carried for 174 yrds for a 7.56 yrds per carry avg. Take away 115 yrds on 2 carries which are their combined longest runs, you have 21 carries for 59 yrds. And i think thats more in line what we are looking at. So Dak and his WRs need to get on the grind and get in tune.
Dez needs to step up and just shut up and play. Seems like every week he's on the sidelines complaining about something. Yes he's missed on some plays where he's open. But the plays he cant get open are way more in numbers. Play and keep focused and i think he'd be a focal point that could help carry the team.
Tyron really needs to get his focus in order. He is literally one of the most penalized players in the league. We dismiss it because he a superstar for this OL. But he has killed alot of drives this yr with his penalties. Nobody is above critique and he really needs to get it together.
Joe Baker IMO needs to be fearing for his job. Dallas is 5th in the NFL in sacks, so all this theres no pressure should be a non issue. Dallas is getting alot of pressure. Its just seems like Baker has the team playing too soft.
Anthony Brown has to be the worst CB in the league. When teams need a 3rd down or a TD they go right at Brown and the chains are moved. And there doesnt seem to be any adjustment. How he was getting beat week 1 he's still getting beat the same way in week 8.
Why Dallas hasnt gone out and picked up a CB i have no idea. Awuzie hasnt been able to get over a hammy, Lewis seems to be playing thru one but seems limited. As does Scandrick. Brown is the only healthy guy and he's bad.
The DL which so many thought was a weak link is coming along very well. Lawrence and Irving are dominating anybody they go up against. Collins Has basically been pushed aside by Irving. and rightfully so. Too Bad this team had questions on the DL and suspensions that they were forced to draft Charlton.
The Lber core is settling down some but still needs a little work. The biggest problem they have really isnt their fault as the MIKE is getting swallowed up by the interior OL because they dont have a true 1tech. Ash had a nice play but he's a scrub. Dallas needs a legit 1tech.
La'el Collins is struggling some but he's winning alot more than he's losing. He will be fine
Jonathon Cooper is settling in damn good, and i think Dallas found a starter for the next 5-6 yrs. He seems to be getting chemistry with Tyron and Frederick. That and he seems to be moving alot better than he was even this yr. When a player actually gets healthy and has confidence he has come back from his injury its a beautiful thing. He took that opening Green gave him with a injury and took the job.
Right now Dallas is in a state of confusion with the Elliot situation and as much as the team tries to say they are moving forward its a huge distraction. This could define Dak's career if he can pull the team together and put them on his back and lead the ship. Its gonna be interesting hopefully come week 15 Dallas is still in the hunt.
