A game changing playmaker safety is one of the big reasons a defense becomes elite ; the Cowboys obviously don't have that , which is why a lot of us haven't put them in that class.............................

To be fair , the Cowboys had Woodson until 2003 and Roy Williams was a pretty good safety for several seasons after Darren left.....................But yes , it's been over a decade..........................

The substance of the discussions is what counts. We'll know more in march.

The Cowboys will always lack a great defense until they get a real difference maker at DT.

Why bother? You can go younger and cheaper at the spot in the draft, just so long as you are willing to draft a fat clogger instead of trying to pick no name guys and turn them into something.

The fact that JJ said, " ...but that's all I'll say." would seem to suggest they plan to make a play for someone. Otherwise, he'd just say, "We're happy with our guys!"

I believe Cowboys and Earl already have a verbal commitment. Which coulexplain the kids being enrolled in Texas schools.

He was spoiled by Darren Woodson. You'd think having a Darren Woodson on your team at one time would show you how important a safety is with making a defense elite.

Never got the credit he deserved. His versatility let us stay in our base while he took up the slack for anything an offense would do against us with formations.

Gerald McCoy on a short termish deal?

Agreed 100%. Hence why I am a proponent of Dallas trading up in the 2nd to make sure they land one.

If they can land Earl Thomas AND draft a difference maker at DT, the defense would take a major leap toward being elite and being dominant.
