Numbers Don't Lie: Dallas Cowboys offense poised to explode in 2025

I was expecting a fun filled mathematical treatise, full of exciting algorithms and oozing with complicated equations.

I didn't get it.

Sad now.
George Pickens’ arrival has given Prescott his strongest WR2 in years, and he’s paired with a top-three wide receiver in the league.

Not to mention, Jake Ferguson still has Pro Bowl potential.

Prescott at 4800 yards and 28 TD's. Rushing at 4.1 yards per carry average.
 
I wish more people would understand this.
But they don't understand. Look at the source of the story - is that an internal media site pushing out rainbows and sunshine in yet another attempt by Jerry and his lemmings to sell, sell, sell the hype and hopium? No one has a clue what this offense is going to look like until Sept 4.

Excluding his injury-ridden seasons, Prescott has four years with double-digit interceptions, and three under that mark. In the lower seasons, Dallas’ winning percentage is 69%; in the higher years, that drops down to 62%.

Jerry...for sure, YOU defined camp. Heroes, are defined by getting what is needed done. Not choosing one's own nuggets of gold... :popcorn:

Camp in your descriptive terms could be defined as such, as well:



Now go directly to your role reversal. :starspin:

I got my blood stripes in Korea, you? Explain what those are!:flagwave:

Yet Pickens isn't even a top 25 receiver. What makes him so special?
No, you explain and use real stats. He fits very nicely and no one would question that fact.

He and Lamb combined will be well over 2,000 yards of production combined.

Not baby crib stuff there.

The negative boils down to this:

In short, there is a clear connection between Dak’s turnover-heavy seasons and losing.
 
Stats similar to Dalton Shultz the year before.

Schultz and Fergeson. 2 tightends that make it obvious to ANYONE, errrrr, not obvious but mathematically a scientific fact that the offense is going to EXPLODE 2 years after their "all pro level play" that allowed them to juuuussstttt sneak into being the 9th or 10th best tight end in the league.

Nothing screams impending offensive explosion like having the 9th or 10th best tight end in the league TWO YEARS AGO.
The ninth- or 10th-best tight end is not bad, but obviously he's just one piece to the puzzle. If the ninth- or 10th-best TE is your second-best weapon, then you are probably in trouble. The player can be part of an offensive explosion, but our ability to explode on offense is going to depend on a bunch more than that.
 
I feel that there are plenty of reasons for optimism.

I’m optimistic about the new coaching staff.

I’m optimistic about the improvement of young offensive linemen.

I’m optimistic about the receiving corps. They added another #1 in Pickens and they have several ascending receivers behind he and Lamb. Tolbert and Turpin and potentially Mingo as well.

I’m optimistic about a pass rushers group that looks 4-deep.
 
Williams suffered the injury on July 28, 2024, and his recovery has been incredible. Williams shared a photo from the team's mandatory minicamp with top speeds from various positions, and he clocked the second-highest max speed on the team (21.4 mph) behind only CeeDee Lamb (21.9 mph).

Seeing these numbers come from Williams less than one year from tearing his ACL is incredible, and it shows the dedication he had to his recovery process.

If Williams can return to top form and contribute to the pass rushing rotation that also includes Micah Parsons, Dante Fowler, Donovan Ezeiruaku, and Marshawn Kneeland, opposing quarterbacks better be on notice.

This is where the potential push at tight end is being dug out ...

Now, it appears he's getting ready to be the third tight end in the rotation, despite entering the pivotal third year. Accelerated growth from second-year UDFA Brevyn Spann-Ford could see him usurp Schoonmaker as TE2 behind Jake Ferguson. Spann-Ford already proved to be a better blocker, and if he confirms rumors of improved pass-catching prowess when training camp begins, it might be time to offload the former Michigan Wolverine.

For teams, summer is a time to shake off the rust and build momentum; for fans, it’s all about the hype. That’s been true for the Dallas Cowboys offense, but in this case, the numbers back up the excitement.

Yes, it’s a unit filled with big names and new toys, but the potential of the offense is very real. They are poised for a legitimate explosion this season.

How can I be so confident? It’s simple: the numbers do not lie.

Dallas’s front office, for all its flaws, has created an offensive depth chart that is filled with proven production and potential for more. If healthy, the statistics show a group that will far outpace their 2024 numbers. There is no doubt about it.

There are a few key examples of this, so let’s talk about them and what the numbers suggest about the Cowboys offense in 2025.

I will remain cautious but with optimism.
In the meantime I will ask Mickey for his level of confidence.

I agree, a 9th or 10th best TE is "not bad".

But is "not bad" mean ALL PRO level?

And not 9th or 10th best TE NOW, but 2 years ago.

That's what this "author" said.

All Pro level. Glad you agree that that's homer hogwash.
 
With the top 3 WR being able to stand with any team on the field. Then add in Blue and Turpin to keep linebackers honest. Really think that a very solid and contributing tight end group even needs discussion on a pass or fail basis for adding to this very receiving group to produce strongly?

I gave up a 30 year calendar long ago to consider change as a fan.

To your question, this group can weather injuries and produce at tight end. Every position has to contribute, and that is all any team can afford.

You looking for a Whitten level retirement player? No...
I'm not looking for anything

The "author" of that article stated Fergeson played at an "All Pro" level.

I'm glad you agree that that's complete nonsense. He was "solid" as you stated...nothing more.

All Pro level. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!

Maybe he just misspelled Alpo.
 
There should be no expectations this year,

that should be the fun part of sports why don't we just watch the games before we make positive or negative expectations, just game by game, comment on what we observe?

I mean we're looking a little too far ahead actually if this team can win nine games and not have a losing season that would be a huge jump, given all the players we lost, new players, giving we just rebooted the entire coaching staff etc..

I mean Just looking at the schedule just observing things,

I think that should be the expectations, we should hope level one is to not have a losing season. we need to see steps, signs of life and good things to come that might take time to gel and get going.

I would be completely satisfied if this team somehow was fighting for one of the wild card spots that would be like the highest of expectations they literally are in phase one with the coaching staff I get it the window is probably two to three years with some of the core players so it needs to get jumped quick but I don't think this offense is poised to explode and I said that already but I also don't think it's going to be as bad as people think but I prefer to watch the games and comment because right now nobody knows what's coming you can't use last year or years past to think you know what's coming..​

. Seems like the Internet social media breeds one side or the other there's no gray area there's no middle ground everybody here is either expecting greatness or expecting a total drop off a cliff it's just insane nobody can just be a fan now you have to pick a side..

That's why sometimes these places are just sad I feel like way back in the day when it used to be cool to go down to Dallas on Texas- OU you weekend and we would line in the streets without much hassle from the police..

people be carrying open containers and drinking and having fun but you know what all the Texas fans were on one side all the OU fans were on the other side and we'd just be yelling and being fans and you knew where the line was ,we were bitter rivals,

but this place is supposed to be all Cowboys fans, and I feel like we're bitter rivals there is the pro and the con side of the street...

come together. WE need our own DC protest, rally fans together. Hate the real enemy!! eagles, giants, Washington, GB, SF, and Pittsburgh!!!!

Not until #4 is gone. The way Jerry Handled him and the way his fans have treated Cowboy fans has tainted this team until he is gone
 

The top knock against Prescott across his career has been turnovers. Whether that’s fair or not doesn’t matter much to Dallas this season; what matters is limiting interceptions to keep the offense flowing.


In 2023, Dak Prescott threw nine interceptions in 590 pass attempts. Last year, he threw eight in 286.

Top knock against Dak is his inability to read a defense presnap and after the snap. Which causes him to zero in on 1st read. Also he is unable to hit a WR in stride so requires comeback routes
