My thoughts

[LatinMind]

Dallas will be drafting 4th unless they win. I dont see either of the top 3 teams winning their last game.

Tonight was frustrating to watch another loss in the final quarter, i like what i saw out of guys who this team can depend on in 2016.

Starting with Demarcus Lawrence, IDK what got into him the last 7 weeks but the guy just cant be blocked anymore. Atleast not one on one. if he can add another 5-7lbs this offseason he will be a beast next yr.

Brice Butler, if this kid gets early work with Romo in the offseason and can develop some chemistry with him, if they can get Romo to dedicate some offseason to training instead of golf and pickup backetball they could have something real nice opposite Dez. Butler does something that Williams cant and thats create seperation off the snap. Think McClay found another sleeper here.

Terrance MItchell, the guy again played a solid game in the slot.Think this is the #3 guy at CB in 2016. And Olayote plays a very nice man cover game. He needs to work on his zone and off man as he allowed catches in this area. But these two seem like they might have filled some depth for the Boys. But i still think Dallas needs a starter at CB opposite Scandrick in 2016.

Casey Walker is a big man in the middle. He played real nice holding up. Even had two tackles and forced Taylor out of the pocket a couple times. We all know Dallas isnt going to spend or draft high at the 1 tech so i think Walker might end up being a replacement for Hayden if he's not back. Still Dallas does need more at DT.

Kellen Moore, will not be back next yr. The guy will probably make a nice QB coach in 4-5 yrs for a college team and make his way back into the NFL. He's really smart and it shows, but the guy just doesnt have the arm. That ugly release along with his noodle arm make him a scrub.

I like what Dallas has in McFadden and Turbin, but i dont think both will be back. Since mcFadden already has a deal for 2016 he will be back and Turbin wont. I see Dallas taking a RB high. Im hoping either a trade back for Elliot, or Paul Perkins in Rd2.

Dallas has 3 FAs who wont be going anywhere: Ron Leary, Jeff Heath(RFA) Casey Walker (ERFA)
But if a team were to offer a trade as in a pick for Leary snatch that up. Or give him that RD2 tender and see if a team bites. But most likely he is in Dallas in 2016.

Dallas has 14 UFAs and i can only see 2 that have a high chance of being back if that. Hardy and McClain. And i wouldnt be mad if neither is back. Hardy should but i wouldnt want this team spending what its going to take to bring him back and stop the development of Gregory. Because if Hardy is back, Gregory will never get a big number of snaps. McClain i just dont think he's worth the trouble of waiting for half a season for this lazy guy to get in football shape. The rest i can see gone.

Doug Free had a real nice game today. This is what you will get from him going forward. Some bad games then sneaks in a very good game like tonight.

Still cant express this enough on how much i think Dooley and Henderson need to be far away from this team.

What about his cap, can he wear it backwards?

Romo hasn't played much golf or basketball on a few years. Your thoughts are stale and need an upgrade

I suggest you go over to dc.com because in the offseason they had alot of articles of what he was doing in the offseason. Its the offseason but he looks sloppy and has for a few yrs now. Im sure some of that has to do with the state of his body. But if he cant put in the time to keep a healthy body and keep his body from being so frail then he needs to hang up them cleats.

Dooley and Henderson...byee

Many good points and pretty spot on. I think RoMac needs to stay though. Maybe a 3 year deal gets him in the right mind set to be in shape with the right incentives.
I think Hanna is another FA that they may target to stay with the injury to Escobar.

Well, to be fair, his back has made most of those things a little dangerous.

What? Plenty of articles? I'm not buying that unless you can prove it. I heard Jordan Speith say he missed playing with him because he's cut back so much. Even if he's playing some pick up basketball so what, it's more for cardio than anything else.

As far as being in the weight room he's put under the same standards as everybody else in the offseason program. His will obviously be different because of his back but Staubacher is right - that was really stale and cliched.

 

[waving monkey]

As always LM I like your observations and appreciate the effort. Im not through wanting to see
More of Moore.

Ive given you the source. you can choose to go look it up for yourself or not. Its up to you. BUt its all there.

Dont be suprised to see Dallas go after a blocking TE. BUt i can see Hanna back for the vet min. All he's in there for is to block anyways.

you'll get to see more floating ducks next week lol. Maybe thats why floaty likes him so much, his passes must remind him of his forum name

Thats two of us...Think Frank Pollack will be given the AX as well.....the OL has been a mess since he took over.

I'm over there everyday too (is on my rotation) and honestly I've never "plenty" of articles on Romo's off season sports activities since the back issue. I think you used that as a throwaway line and it came back to bite you.

No worries though - it was a good post.

LMs thoughts are dead on
Romo had never really been on great shape coming into the season but gas been able to overcome it
Now with back injuries he cannot afford that
If he really wants to play 2-3 more years he will need to dedicate himself to football/working out in the off season as well

My thoughts:

* Didn't watch the game. Spent the time taking care of my father-in-law who is battling metastatic melanoma. Gives one perspective.

* We need a very good-to-great QB to make this offense work. We have one, but he's getting old and banged up. We need someone young to groom to replace him that is good enough to play backup when called upon until he's named the starter.

* We need an influx of talent at WR position. Cut off the head, which is Dez when injured or mentally out of a game, and the rest fold under their own weight. Butler looks like potential, but Williams and Street are not difference makers.

* Need a solid RB to compete with Mac. Dunbar skilled, but fragile so far. Not sure where Turbin fits, if at all.

* Think we all forgot how losing OScan early didn't help our secondary. Believe he was like the QB of our secondary and it shows.

* TE is probably something to address in FA rather than the draft unless a blue chipper falls to us after Round 3. Need a pass catching TE who can split a D.

* Coaches aren't going anywhere most likely, so we will have to rely on the FO office to find additional talent through the draft and FA. God help us!
