[RS12]

Here's a position by position breakdown with the executive's comments.

Quarterback: Tony Romo, Dallas vs. Mark Sanchez, Eagles
"Do you have to ask?'' he said. "That's easy, Romo.''

Running Back: DeMarco Murray, Dallas vs. LeSean McCoy, Eagles
"That's tougher, real tough actually. But I'll still take McCoy.''

Wide Receiver 1:Dez Bryant, Dallas vs. Jeremy Maclin, Eaglres

"Stop it, Dez might be the best in the league.''

Wide Receiver 2: Terrence Williams, Dallas vs. Riley Cooper, Eagles

"Williams. He's not great, but he's good. He's better than Cooper.''

Slot Receiver: Cole Beasley, Dallas vs. Jordan Matthews, Eagles

"Matthews is better. He's better than Cooper, too.''

Tight End: Jason Witten, Dallas vs. Brent Celek, Eagles

"You still have to take Witten.''

Left Tackle: Tyron Smith, Dallas vs. Jason Peters, Eagles

"Both are very good. I'll lean towards Peters, slightly.''

I'm just guessing the executive interviewed does not know much about either team. Because those comments, and some of the picks, are just terrible.

First, Prisco and now they pick us? Don't like it, wish everyone would say we get beat down

"I dont like anyone in their defense" jezz ....

"Their Linebackers are just average" - OOOOOOOOK. I thought the offense was spot on and I guess I could understand why he would think that about our defense.

Pretty interesting read.

The discussion of our D in this article was pretty rough. A lot of "I don't like any of their guys..."

Agreed.

Kelce over Frederick? Executive in charge of what?

I think the executive they interviewed for the defense was Risenstar. The Scandrick pick confounds that, however.

We lack a lot of talent on that side of the ball. A lot of JAGs who won't be around the next time Dallas has a good defense.

Kelce is an outstanding center.

I'd still take Frederick though.

 

[Risen Star]

If we truly had a defense this game today would be a cake walk.

Yeah; I have read (and enjoyed) a number of your posts on this topic. Marinelli deserves credit for getting some reasonable results out of this group but the bottom line is that our D is not too good. The combination of a weak pass rush and bad coverage skills is scary...

I'd give most of the credit to an offense that can control the clock and keep our defense fresh.

I'd sign up tomorrow for a new defense and coordinator.

Darn; you're hard core, man. Ready to jettison Marinelli. I admire your spunk...
