Willie Harvey Jr the UFL alum has added to the LB room in a positive way in Oxnard according to the feedback I’ve heard. Along with Damone Clark plus Overshown from last yrs draft and the Notre Dame 3rd rounder out of this past draft Liufau that’s a decent nucleus to build on .

Parons has dropped in coverage more under Zim and then the vet Kendrick’s who’s battling a back in camp and LB has the potential to be vastly improved over the Marquise Bell experiment out of necessity and last year issues.

Let’s face it if teams can run the ball down your throat the QB is in for a huge afternoon against you . ( Green Bay ) . That has to change.
i am encouraged and optimistic about the revamped corp. super excited to have overshown in the fold, and we actually have serviceable depth this year. good stuff

Yep. I’ve heard some others say he looked good so far. We will be good again. Not sure why so many have given up this year as opposed to all the other years we didn’t win it all.

This D roster is one of the best we’ve had since…it’s been a long time. The D will be very good.

On offense we were one of the best last year and I expect the same.
Without exception, every major form of sports media has opined that the Cowboys have regressed on paper. From losing starters and replacing them with inexperienced players and merely signing 2 free agents that are past their primes in Kendricks and Elliott.

Additionally almost every other team has ADDED experienced FAs still in their prime and we've yet to see the porous defensive line shored up and don't think that Dak, Ceedee and Micahs not having new contracts won't be a distraction.

It's not just the fans saying it......it's the rest of the free world.

You mean the media talking heads. Like they know anything.

My conspiracy theory is that the Joneses are looking at next year. No real FAs. They have no intention of signing Dak. They are looking at Shedeur and Prime to bring the hype back next year
I’ve had a similar thought. That’s why Prime said it would “be like Eli” and he would dictate where the kid would play….in case Dallas isn’t in a position to get him.

This would not surprise me at all, and would be the ultimate grand finale to his circus act.

The good part would be that Prime could actually gain the respect of the locker room despite Jerry’s existence and antics. If the kid can actually play, it could work. Lots of leaves to fall between now and then though.

I said it a couple days ago LB should be a strength this year especially if the DL can keep these guys clean. I also hate Micah as a DE. Absolutely hate it. I wish he would play LB and just hunt and gather. I think he would be awesome as a stand up follow the ball missile.

You are going to love this season. This is an outstanding linebacker group.
I don't crap on these UFL signings. We've struck gold before. I like how we scout these guys. I also think this LB group is going to make a difference. Despite the fact I wanted a RB and DT in free agency I can't grade the off season well, because I think the draft class is gonna be real nice. Having a good draft fixes a lot.

It looks like they are better at linebacker, secondary, receiver, and oline.

There is nothing “good” about it if you’re a Cowboys fan who wants a SB
Coach Prime a Shedeur will suck the next 10 years of my life

Didn’t say the fans said it. Regardless, I think we will be good again. Guess we will see soon enough who’s right, others or me.

And let’s be honest. Dont you always assume we will be bad? Have you ever said we’d be good or even great? It seems so and I apologize if I’m wrong.

I concur.
Just so you understand. Statistical rankings are formed the same for every team. If you show me where we went against far worse d’s than other teams ranked below us I’ll listen.

Otherwise you’re just crying and there’s no validity to your “point”
