NT Position need

[BAT]

Cowboys should invest in this kid.

Great bloodlines - dad was 10 year NFL vet 2x pro bowler, All American, WAC DPOY Luther Ellis.

Noah Ellis has FREAKISH traits for +360 pounder.

May need to sign and stash on IR first.

Man, the NT simply has a monstrous effect on any D. Did any of you guys happen to watch the game last night? SEA absolutely does not win w/o big old Al Woods clogging up the middle, collapsing the pocket, and even making plays. He took away a huge dimension from the DEN O. Exactly how is this not simply blatantly obvious to everyone?

Until we get a quality NT, nothing we do on D will matter. Stop throwing late round picks at this unglorious by ultra important position and make it a priority.

Broncos averaged 5 yards per carry. If I remember correctly the middle run D was pretty good. It was the runs to the offensive left that were the big killer.

And need more than just Micah at LB. LVE and Barr do not show up enough vs either run or pass. They play really high and their hand work to disengage is subpar.

Need a big thumper in the middle that can also fly sideline to sideline.

Should have drafted this kid instead of Tolbert.

Maybe Damone Clark is that dude. And I actually thought LVE played well. I’ve never thought that since he was a rookie.

It was week 1 lol. Yall just want to cry. We gonna hate on Turpin next? Lol

I really hope so.

But not putting all my eggs into Damone Clark's basket. He could be Jaylon Smith Part Deux for all we know.

Cowboys gave up 130 yards on the ground. If that's LVE playing well then we are really in trouble when he plays bad.

Fowler? Don't remember him even playing. Thanks for the Tank update. I guess our players go against pretty good players too and a bad day at the office is bound to happen.

It took me a 2nd of eyebrow squiching to figure out who 56 was. Honestly I thought they overdid the rotation thing… ends can’t get into any type of rhythm. Brady just gets the ball out too fast to put any type of hit numbers or sacks. He probably wouldn’t be playing a 45 otherwise!

 

[exciter]

Micah got one of his sacks on Whirf

1st one was against Donavan Smith… 2nd vs Josh Wells after Smith left with the arm injury!

Not sure what game y'all were watching, but the BULK of Tampa's yardage came from running OUTSIDE - NBC even showed the stat SPECIFICALLY about Fournette's yardage:

• 15 carries for 110 off-tackle/outside to the left
• 6 carries for 17 yards up the gut

That is NOT on the NT. That is SPECIFICALLY on the Edge/LB NOT containing the edge.

I was hoping Ridgeway could be the guy.

I'll believe the Bohanna hype when I see it. He looked as ordinary this game as he did last year.

Ridgeway is all talk.

The worst kind of talk, Jerry Jones talk.

Lol one posted on here said he didnt see much difference between Ridgeway and Jordan Davis lol. Ridgeway couldn't even on active on gameday

Even if Damone Clark pans out will still need another LB next to him (maybe that's Kearse and move Mukuamu to SS).

Because the Cowboys only have 1 legit threat at pass rusher.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Where was Tank all night long with his new contract and security blanket?

The goat still has it and that fast release and quick decision making makes it tough on defenses. It's a wonder Micah got 2 sacks. It was only game one and really sucked that so many from coaches to players had a bad day all on the same day but things can only go up from here.

See that’s the problem. No one can rush besides him, and no one can play LB like him either. That’s why Fournette was gashing us

It felt like they wanted to see if the corners, Diggs specifically was willing to tackle. I didn't see them run at ABs side too much. Could also be cause DLaw was on that side as well.

Setting the edge and stopping the run as usual.

 

[Captain-Crash]

Yep one NT and that should get us in the super bowl.

We don't do nose tackles or safeties here.
Late round picks or UDFA and you will like it!

That was Tank’s one great play. $20 million? We let Amari Cooper walk and kept the “run stopping” DE.
