Despite all the clamoring for a huge payout to an aging safety, wr, or DL, look at where we are.
The offense is now set to be better than what it was going into last season.
- O-Line...Williams stronger and experienced in 2nd year; Fleming in second year in system; Frederick returns, improving center and backup across interior; offseason and full season with the right coach...Columbo.
- WR...Cooper gets a full camp in system and with Dak while coaches plan around him; Austin second year in system; Gallup with a year’s experience and strength; Wilson returns in 2nd year.
- TE...young guys have a year of experience and Schultz has first full offseason of work. Witten is old, but he still knows how to get open, is reliable, cannot be covered by a LB, and will probably lean more to coaching the youngsters than ever before.
- RB...we have the stud and I’ll be shocked if we don’t add one in next wave of free agency, the draft, or a veteran cut after draft
We will still go best player available most of the time, but the emphasis will be on defense in the draft.
- DE...D-Law, Taco, maybe Gregory...Armstrong will be stronger and more confident in second year. Crawford can start or rotate at RDE.
- DT....Woods, Collins, Crawford, Ross.
- LB...Smith continues to improve in every way. LVE will be stronger and better in 2nd year. Lee will be rationed and used in impactful situations...best 3rd guy in years. We know Thomas can play, and Covington/March-Lillard gets chance to earn a spot.
- CB....Jones in second year at position in system...look for more confidence and picks. Awuzie continues to grow and improve. Brown and Lewis both very good in slot.
- S....Heath is Heath...not our best, but he won’t be worse than he was. Woods in second year as a starter and in Richards secondary will be better.
We may still look at free agency, but I think moreso at RB or camp bodies or competition.
Draft will focus on the two deepest positions, safety and DL.
I’m excited about the draft.
Round 2– DT/S
Round 3–S/DT
Round 4–RB/DL
Round 5–WR/DB
Rest—Round out the roster...OL, LB, Special Teams
Jerry loves fans like you lol.
But it is ok to be positive, did you like the rams playoff loss too? What is your spin on the 275 yds rushing the rams put on cowboys?
1.O-Line...Williams
stronger and experienced in 2nd year; your hoping and speculating, I think he was too small to begin with, but maybe
he is better, how much we will find out.
Fleming in second year in system;
Frederick returns, ....speculation again, and after all this time off, do you really think he will be the same ??
improving center and backup across interior; offseason and full season with the right coach...Columbo..........more speculation, was a decent player
but that doesnt make him a good coach, I didnt really see any improvements after he took over, and the problem is blocking schemes, which
he doesnt control.
2.WR AND TE I will go along with those.RB I doubt they draft a RB, and they probably wont pick one up. They will be same as last yr.
3.maybe Gregory?? lol
the rest I go along with, except the draft, they wont draft a DT or RB.
The offense might be better, or maybe not. Dont forget kellen is now the OC and he is new and we dont have any idea what his offense
will be like, could be great or horrible , or a little of both.
as far as experience in the system you mentioned, it will or is supposed to be a NEW OFFENSE ! so it will be new to all on offense.
I think the main hope people should have is that kitna can help dak be better, and that kellen does create his own new offense and playbook.
And that it is a good playbook !
For example, if it is a all out blitz, will dak have someone to throw quick to ?? didnt have that last year.
will it still be deep time consuming routes, even when dak doesnt have time in pocket?
will they use middle of field more or stay with the same ol sideline routes?
glad your excited, but I am not, I just see the same team as last year, and a little hope kellen and kitna do something good.
But I will believe it when I see it.
As for the draft , I want to see a 2nd rd pick that will play this year, maybe the 3rd rd guy too. Doesnt matter what position,
as all our guys are ok right??
Draft will be mildly interesting.
I dont care about TC or preseason, just wanna see the season games, and see if they make playoffs again.
