True, but I dont say things the are false and my stance is accurate. Heck people were telling me that 2 years ago and now 98% of the fan base and experts agree that Zeke is no longer a top back in the NFL. They also now agree that Pollard should get a larger share of the carries.
It’s not about truth but about the frequency in which it’s a topic. Or derailing of topics that don’t begin with zeke

I’ve watched as you combat those who do it with Dak so what’s the difference when you do it with zeke?

Is that not hypocritical?

and for the record I don’t like zeke I root for him on Sunday’s to do well because he’s a cowboy but I’ll lose 0 sleep when he’s gone

On defense I will go with Parsons and Kearse. Diggs is up there too, but I think Kearse is the guy who if he plays well will make a big difference.

On offense, of course one has to be Dak. The QB is always going to make a big difference in the NFL and if you look at the Eagles you can see why. They have a loaded roster on both sides of the ball, but the one guy who will either hold them back or take them to the playoffs is their QB. The second offensive player for Dallas is going to be Pollard. He is a difference maker. When he gets the football anything can happen, He needs to get the ball more.

That probably holds true for almost every football in the world. You run the ball you win.


This the Chicken and egg convo...when teams are winning what is their general Offensive plane to close out a win? "See when we run the ball we win" well maybe it was "We were running the ball because we were winning".... same as "We lose when our QB throws it 40+ times in a game" or was it "We were losing so our QB had to throw the ball 40+ times trying to comeback"......almost need to write a book about how QB's are from mars and RB's are from venus i guess.

My vote on D: Parsons and Diggs
Offense is harder: Zach Martin and a tie between Dak, Lamb or Pollard.

Other opinions?

Parsons for sure on D......as for O, i believe it is the OL since it is a unit. Who cares if one lineman is All World, he won't be a difference maker if any of the others are bad or mediocre. The OL needs to work in unison with each other, just like a band. If one is out of tune, the whole thing sounds like crap.

Parsons and Diggs on defense.

Martin and Schultz on offense. Losing Cooper is a bigger deal than some people appreciate. Schultz will be key to converting third downs and keeping drives alive with a limited QB.

I like this.

D - I know Parsons will be a beast. To REALLY make a difference Lawrence and LVE need to ball out.

O - It is always the QB so I will say Dak. My second is Kellen Moore. Personally I think Moore is terrible. If he turns it around, works in a running game and CONSISTENTLY gets the ball in the star’s hands this offense can be beastly.

Biggest difference from last season...
Tyler Smith

Free Safety.
I would take a healthy Hooker or Wilson over Kazee.

Micha on defense. Transformed the whole thing.

Dak and Tyron most important IMO. Lose either and the season is over.

If Lamb or Martin got hurt, the O would be greatly impacted. JMO.

Defense:
  • Parsons: 13 sacks and 84 tackles
  • Diggs: 11 interceptions
Any other name on the defensive side of the ball is a little ridiculous but Lawrence and Osa are important.

A little tougher on offense but you've got to go one of Martin/Lamb paired with Dak. If any one of those three is missing this offense is going to look trash IMO but doubly so with Dak missing. Tough one out of Martin/Lamb because I feel like McGovern at RG is better than what would replace Ceedee at WR so the gap might be more there, but I also think Martin is so critical to supporting and keeping Biadasz/Steele afloat that it might all fall apart without him. I'd probably lean Martin for that reason.

On defense which 2nd year DT steps up---Parsons and Diggs will hold their own they need help
On offense C and the Rookie OG-- if they can up thier game the line is plenty good enough to win.
