With Wilson's effectiveness being less than impressive, the run game figures to be what they'll lean on somewhat generously. (To no avail, I hope.)

Armstrong is underrated.......



He had a good game against one-on-one blocking. He gets discredited for cleaning up the chaos created by others, particularly Parsons, but he was winning matchups last week. Not necessarily the hardest thing to do against the Giants' line, but he still had to do it.

We will get a nice comp pick for him.
You think it’s a comp pick. Or is that all we get cause he is under rookie deal. Never mind I forgot we got him till end of this year on a 2 year 12 million dollar deal. We can trade him now. Lol.

Asim Richards was drafted with the 169th overall pick that Dallas received as a result of Gregory signing with Denver (I believe). If that departure also resulted in Armstrong returning to Dallas, then it's a clear win for the front office. Gregory has played in 7 games with Denver, starting 4. He has 13 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 TFL and 7 QB hits over that time. In comparison, Armstrong has 18 games, 5 starts, 36 tackles, 10.5 sacks, 13 TFL, 18 QB hits, 1 FF and 1 FR. Armstrong had a cap number of about $3.6M and $7.2M ($1.5M in a voided 3rd year in 2024). Gregory had $5.6M, $16.1M cap hits, and will probably be a June 1 release next offseason leaving Denver with $2.1M and $14M dead cap hits for 2024/2025. Assuming Armstrong signs a free agent deal next spring with another team, Dallas will probably end up with a 5th or 4th rounder the following draft.

I think that's a fair guess accounting of the whole situation.

It would be great to see those same numbers when we play the 49'ers.
POST OF YOUR CAREER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We get so happy about sacks against the small fish, but don't get quiet when it's a big game and never mind!!

I would hate to lose Dorance Armstrong, especially since he's finally coming into his own prime year. I would rather give up on other not-so-productive veterans than lose Dorance Armstrong now that he's seriously contributing and playing at his peak.

Great post.

And don't forget he's excellent on special teams, with at least one punt block (Rams) and one FG block (Giants) last year.

Parsons opens up things for everyone. So if Parsons got treated the same as many of the other players imagine how crazy his stats would be. Regardless we should continue to fine tune our DL next year and have the 49ers give us Bosa , kidding kidding, or am I

Enter the Jets offensive line, who are responsible for Rodgers lasting only four plays as a member of the team before leaving with injury.

The Bills defensive line, which isn't nearly as dominant or talented as Dallas, registered three sacks and eight quarterback hits.

Micah Parsons and the rest of the defensive line have to be salivating at the chance to rush Zach Wilson.

The Cowboys will not only match their sack total from Week 1, but they will exceed it by registering 10 sacks on Sunday afternoon.

I suspect the Jets offense will be dissecting every Dallas defensive play against the Giants in hopes of slowing the pass rush.

Knowing this, I expect Quinn to find novel ways to get to Wilson.

The game within the game.

Yes. Armstrong will be a 26 year old FA very likely coming off of 2 consecutive seasons with at least 8 sacks. He‘ll also be pitched as a core ST player wherever he signs. He‘ll receive a nice mid-tier deal in free agency.

Armstrong has become what many thought Sam Williams and Randy Gregory could be next to Parsons. The kid will make some money in the offseason. For some reason the Cowboys insiders wanted to trade him for a backup offensive lineman. :huh: :thumbdown:

I hope we are prepared to stop the run. The best way to neutralize a great passing front it to try and run on them. I believe the Jets are going to try to run the ball as much as possible unless we get up early on them where they have to pass the ball. I bet the Jets gameplan is run, screen and play action.
