Outside of RB, What Is The Weakest Position Group?

I’m partly asking this because I think the Cowboys have done a pretty decent job this offseason, in the draft and (I can’t believe this is coming out of my mouth) surprisingly in FA so far.

We all know the RB room is duct tape and string, but outside of that it’s hard to pin down a weak spot.

I guess mine is IDL, and that’s lazy bc I view 3T and 1T averaging the same but for different reasons. 1T has multiple OK guys, but there’s only 1 true 3T on this team in OSA and it terrifies me to consider him going down with an injury, so IDL it is.

What say you?

Can we call Punt Coverage a single position?

They were bad in preseason and bad Week 1.


RBs are a big ? but it's not for lack of push by the OLine thus far.

Why ask a loaded question? Dak is the weakest link in the chain. If he breaks a link, the team loses.

He is now paid to be the Captain of the team.

I'm terrified of the WR depth. After Lamb, no one is great. We know Cooks is fast but is he a #1 ? No way. Tolbert ? Brooks ? Turpin ? There's not a lot of quality depth there. We gotta pray CeeDee stays healthy. It could unravel quickly.
That’s pretty much everyone in the league though. Even with teams like Philly and Bengals who have two number ones…Bengals looked bad without Tee Higgins and they still had Chase out there. Take AJ Brown off Eagles and they would hurt.

You can’t have two Cee Dee Lambs.

Stuoid - to say something about a QB that angers his fans.

example in a sentence
"Saying Troy Aikman was overrated is totally stuoid.
Try spelling it backwards! You stuoid thing. I bet his lover can't spell Dak backwards.

The school system they flunked in. lol

Naw stuoid is when you say Dak is the weakest link but then say how he plays determines if we win or loss. Just pure stuoidity.

I believe just the opposite. Lamb is arguably the best WR in the league and Cooks isn’t a #1 because he doesn’t have to be a #1. He’s an outstanding 2nd receiver. Then you have Brooks, Tolbert and Turpin. You think they’re no good because they have no stats. How naive is that?

WR group is definitely top half of the league since we have a top 5 WR. It’s silly to think otherwise.

RB is the worse position group by a mile - probably in bottom 5 in NFL. TE is probably bottom half but not below that.

Agree with OP on IDL. Probably bottom 1/3.

Roster isn’t an issue IMO except for talent at RB and the QB stepping up in playoffs.

We made the decision at QB. Personally think it’s a huge miss we didn’t get a top 15 RB.

No. I think they're INCREDIBLE because they have no stats.
What I'm saying is I hope and pray that CeeDee stays healthy because without him we have a very weak and untested WR room.
