No Gallup, no replacement, no Problem!

[shabazz]

So YOU must know him or what's in his heart.

Please share. Although since you're such a Lamb fan you will more than likely just DROP it.

Tell me, are those on the highlight film you're asking me to watch?

I've seen plenty of complacency in Dallas in my day, and I said that I "fear" he was headed there as well. I doubt I'm alone.

Talk about exaggerating a point....that entire response is an overreaction. And uh....Lamb is NOT "by far" better than Amari Cooper.

And if "fans like me" are the ones that give Dallas fans "a bad name," I'll call it even with Jerry since I'm embarrassed to admit I'm a fan of anything led by that loser buffoon. I always feel the need to follow up with a Coach Landry story to justify it. Humiliating actually.

……I think you just addressed one of Coe Dees family members or homeboys. I could just sense the passion and hurt from them

 

[atlantacowboy]

People still think Cooper is gonna go, huh? I must be one of the few who thinks he'll stay, and should stay.

Some of this is on Cooper. He can refuse to restructure and put Dallas in the position having to pay him 27M in 2022 or waive him.

He might want a change of scenery and go to a team less dysfunctional.

He might want to go to a team with a better QB.

 

[NotForLong]

It goes down to 11 after june 1st (if they do something with him). There are already Rumors comming out of the star the will cut him.

Edit: RUMORS not close to anything official

But will Dak allow Jerry to cut his BFF. . . and I am serious as a heart attack. . . Dak will pout

 

[NotForLong]

Renegotiate? No way. Would you?
Restructure? Yes….Cooper complained the last half of the year about not being the focus of the pass offense on 3rd down and in the Redzone. Moore used him more as a decoy and tried to be smarter than everyone else. A guy who feel his low productivity is the fault of too few targets isn’t going to renegotiate. He would take his guaranteed money and plop another contract on top of it. Even at his current price, I guarantee some other team like the Commanders, who offered more, would sign him on a heartbeat.

Gallup is not even in the tier below Cooper,in my opinion. I think Copper is in the top tier; Ceedee in the second tier at this time; and Gallup is just a guy.

Is this how you took it . . .

At the end of the season Cooper did not complain . . . he simply pointed out that he was in fact doing his job and the lack of targets was a direct result of the QB's decision making.

You interjected the story of Moore using him as a decoy and you interjected the belief that Cooper was complaining . . . Cooper quietly and directly defended himself and put the blame where it belongs . . . on Dak

Cooper and Lamb and Gallup are a waste here because none of them can help Dak because Dak sucks.

We have one if the great young talents at WR and there are posters tearing into him because he is unfortunate enough to play with Dak . . . because Dak can do no wrong and everyone else is fair game to throw under the bus

Next year the Cowboys should employ 6 O linemen 1 TE and 3 RB. . . because after the Denver game all Dak can utilize is the dump off

 

[NotForLong]

CD needs to catch the d*** ball. That what he needs to do. Too many drops. Way too many.

How many Cowboy WRs have been accused of this over the past 6 seasons . . . its amazing that the blind cannot see

 

[NotForLong]

People still think Cooper is gonna go, huh? I must be one of the few who thinks he'll stay, and should stay.

I don't believe Cooper wants to be here any longer . . . He got a lot of shade thrown his way

 

[Mannix]

1. Lamb
2. Wilson
3. Fehoko
4. Turner
5. Draft pick

Not great on paper but oh well. It looked great last year and it didn't much matter if you cant pass block or run the ball.

There's a ton of dead money or high cap figures for underperforming contracts.

There's a price to be paid for those mistakes and here we are.

Fehoko…what has he done??? We are in trouble

 

[DeaconMoss]

It is definitely more difficult to catch a ball behind you and over your head but Lamb drops balls that are not always on Dak. You would think that he knows Dak's pass will likely be off target and would make him focus more.

He might want to go to a team that lets him take off an extra game every season…say 6 games instead of just 5.

 

[blueblood70]

Fehoko…what has he done??? We are in trouble

its called developing young talent you think they all just come in from the draft pro ready what if they don't blow up on the scene yr one you give up throw them away LMAO..right some spoiled self-entitled impatient fan base here..

most of the draft is about finding talent that can be developed, called upside. Maybe hes one of them maybe not but it can take a few seasons to actually develop a player. i mean what are the coaches for just coaching 22 pro bowlers that it not actually tutoring young players and developing players? Steele a good example hes better from year 1 to 2, some called him jag and bust wanted him cut and maybe will be even better yr 3..i guess we should have cut him and even Schultz etc etc if they arent rookie pro bowlers?

 

[NotForLong]

Agreed. You gave a #1 pick to get him. He put up huge numbers, turned a season around, and earned a big contract. Then you drafted CeeDee Lamb, and Moore falls in love with his play calling, thinking 3 WRs are interchangeable. He’s still the best WR in the building. Restructure if that helps, but make him the focus of the passing game and let the man earn his money.

So you are claiming Cooper didn't put up numbers because of Lamb and Moore (at least you didn't mention pass blocking & penalties, I give you credit for that)

The reason Cooper didn't put up numbers . . . wait for it . . . . Dak sucks . . . he is horrible . . .

Cooper needs to move on . . . maybe to the Rams . . . that would be sick . . . I would be happy for him after all the hard work he put in for the Cowboys

 

[NotForLong]

He might want to go to a team that lets him take off an extra game every season…say 6 games instead of just 5.

I take it that you don't like Cooper or appreciate Him . . .

 

[fivetwos]

Fehoko…what has he done??? We are in trouble

Nothing.

That's the point.

A team that uses basically draft only to improve or to find starters has to eventually play its draft picks.

They pride themselves on how many starts they get out of late round picks, even though they usually play to their draft status.

 

[NotForLong]

It is definitely more difficult to catch a ball behind you and over your head but Lamb drops balls that are not always on Dak. You would think that he knows Dak's pass will likely be off target and would make him focus more.

I understand that . . . but there just seems to be something off with Dak's passes that are on target . . . there is something to be said for putting "touch" on the Ball.

It's an art and some QB's have it and some don't . . . just scientifically speaking Dak is the one constant that causes us as fans to criticize so many Wrs that have come through the last 6 years

We all grew up playing this game weather pickup game or organized . . .

I remember one kid in particular . . . had a strong arm but he always threw the ball on a line drive and as if he was trying to throw the ball through a brick wall . . . never lobed it floated it or put some touch on it and dropped it in to the wr in stride. . . No always with full force at their head

And that dumb SOB never ever adjusted

I know the 90’s SB teams were yesteryear, but a good FB picks up the unblocked LB shooting gaps and gives the RB a chance to get started and find daylight. He also lead blocks on the off tackle plays, kicking out so guards can cut off LBers at the second level or even stay home against quicker DTs. They also set up counter plays as defenders key the FB instead of the RB when there is one.

it sounds good on paper, but FBs like Johnston aren't around any more. and given the emphasis on passing game and 3 WR sets, having a FB, takes a player out of the passing game, and kind of tips off your plays to the defense. the FB is no threat to run the ball (if they were any good they would be RBs), nor ones that go into a route (else they might be TEs). so its easy to see if its a running play and also you can bring an extra defender to the box since you are not worried about FB going out for a pass. that's why teams are going to 2 TE sets (bilicheck started it years ago). that's why blocking/pass catching TEs are now at a premium. some teams emply h-Backs as a means to provide some lead blocking from the back field. TEs are harder to deal with defensively than FBs, specially those that can block and catch. having 2 good TEs that can block and be a threat in passing game are even harder to deal with.

with that said, they are helpful as an extra blocker in passing game and that's what makes Zeke valuable since he is a good pass blocker and helps give another protection to the QB and threat to run and catch (although we didn't quite use him the right way). That's why perhaps Pollard wasn't used as much, since he doesn't offer much in terms of pass blocking

……I think you just addressed one of Coe Dees family members or homeboys. I could just sense the passion and hurt from them

Im not a friend, or family member of Ceedee Lamb. Just a Cowboys fan.

My point is, this organization has had talented teams that could have won. This is a talented team who looked like the best team in the NFL for a good part of the 2021 season. They made it to the playoffs and laid a egg. I get it, but gutting the team isn't the answer. Ceedee Lamb isn't a #1 WR, he needs to have a true #1 on the field with him to give him 1on1 opportunities and he'll flourish.

Alvin Harper was very good, but without Michael Irvin he wouldn't have had as many opportunities to use his skill set and do what he did best. It's about getting guys to compliment the guys we have...not cutting dynamic players.

Zeke Elliott did not run the football well this year, Oline played shabby in the run game and the pass game verses teams with good rushers and defenders. Its football. We have to be better at getting match ups that favor our guys and putting them in positions to be successful consistently.

Also, I do think Zeke may need to go with Cooper. He lacks speed, quickness, and explosion. He doesnt make defenders miss, or make big plays in the running game. He still runs with power and attitude, but he gets tired quickly too often and he doesn't have the homerun ability to scare defenses. He looks like a backup role would be perfect for him but his salary makes that a hard sell.

I'm with you guys who say Ceedee needs to have less drops. I also think Dak Prescott has to be more accurate. But its tough to think the answer is getting rid of them. I think we can win a super bowl with those two players complimenting a few key additions we need to work in at TE, RB, OL, and WR. We can do that in one draft. That's possible.

We need interior pass rush, a young homerun hitter at RB, more speed at WR, and some help on the OL. If we add that...we can play with anybody and win.

Unfortunately we're going to have to get younger to do that...and that means some Vets have to go. Cooper, Gallup, Ceedee, Zeke, D-Law, Martin, Tyron...we have to take a hard look at these guys and make some tough decisions.

If CeeDee is not a #1wr its a bad pick...you spent a mid 1st round on him...he has to be a #1 for that to justify.
