Outside of RB, What Is The Weakest Position Group?

[csirl]

QB is lacking in strength and depth.

Mediocre starter. 2 x backups are a 3rd string level QB and a development project gone wrong.

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?

I would agree. Until we consistently shut down the opposing teams running attack; it will be the DL.

You answered your own question. I don't know what else you expect people to say. You'll always find complainers with this group but you already pointed out the two biggest weaknesses.

 

[Typhus]

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.

Yes I thought it was very clear in the OPT about "positional strength".

Definition

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

example in a sentence
"Saying Troy Aikman was overrated is totally stuoid."

 

[StarOfGlory]

I suppose it depends on how you equate positional strength with positional depth. QB across the league is thin. Hell, there aren't 32 QB's worthy of being called a starter as it is. Seeing as how we have a top-10 QB, I call QB a position of strength.

Same with WR. I predict Cee Dee will be the #1 WR at the end of the season. Cooks is a fine #2. I call that a position of strength.

I consider our interior defense a weakness. I'm curious to see how our DT's handle top end O-lines with top RB's (Philly, Detroit, Indy). It might not be pretty.

Dak goes down we're screwed

Zeke isn’t weak.

I hope this is the year they do some splash move at the trade deadline, we could use some help at skill and DL, there will be players out there but will the FO finally pull the trigger?

 

[JD_KaPow]

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.

The entire skill position group--RB, WR, TE--is really weak once you get past Lamb. You can't have two Lambs, but you can have a top RB or a top TE or a Devonta Smith or a Chris Godwin or a Tee Higgins or a Jaylon Waddle to go along with your one Lamb. I don't think Cooks or Ferguson cuts it as that second weapon. And when you get beyond that, Dowdle/Zeke? Tolbert? Really?

 

[VaqueroTD]

RB and DT. Pretty telling by how many older bargain veterans they tried to sign last second.

 

[Sydla]

DT.

 

[reddyuta]

there is no way Jalen Tolbert is the no 3 WR in the NFL,dude doesnt get open in actual games.

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

Well, it depends on whether you mean weakest link to win a bunch of reg season games, or weakest link to do anything in January when it actually means something.

I'm assuming you mean in the regular season, as we all know the answer regarding the 60 mil/year weak link in the playoffs LOL (sigh).

But for the pointless fluff that is the regular season, which is all we''ve all had to live on for the past 3 decades, I think people got REAL comfortable with our OLine after a single game....against a garbage poorly run and coached Browns team. Rookies don't usually take a very suspect line and turn it into a good one overnight, and that's what everyone in here is banking on with our line. Rookie oLinemen, even Top10 top prospects, USUALLY need a year or 2 to develop...especially a super raw one like Guyton.

Let's see what happens when we face a legit team or 2, and see if they can open up running lanes then.

I don’t agree with the roster construction of those teams honestly. Eagles are paying Devonta a lot to be a number 2. And because of it they struggle in other areas especially on defense.

I agree we could certainly do better but I think it will have to come as a draft pick.

This is also why you pay your qb 60 million. If Lamb misses a game or two what they have should be enough to stay afloat.

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?

"How naive is that?"?
Why not use your usual conversation ending remark such as "do you know anything about football?" or "have you ever watched football?"?
But it's good to see you expanding your vernacular.

obviously DT position. the middle is weak.....then depth at WR and then Saftey

Lol, I encourage you to watch other teams in the league like Miami and Green Bay.

Lamb is arguably second best. There isn’t a single GM who wouldn’t take Jefferson as the top WR, though some might think about Hill. I would say Cooks is an okay 2 but probably 10 teams have a better WR2 and then after him the cracks how quickly.

It is concerning when listing the weakest positions in the team, basically the list is the skill position made on offense.
