I don't get it. Jerry didn't do squat in the offseason to improve this team so why would he do anything to improve it now?
We knew the Cowboys were going to have depth issues at OT. So they drafted Tyler Smith, but then sat on Ball and drafted Waletzko instead of signing a vet as they had done in previous years. Not until Tyron got hurt did they sign Jason Peters. And that was apparently just in case.
The Cowboys knew they would have depth issues at WR after losing Cooper and Ced Wilson. Again, they went with Washington at league minimum and some young guys with no experience behind CeeDee who appears to be a slot receiver.
They lost Gregory somehow and signed Fowler to replace him. Did Fowler play last might? I think he did. I saw a number 56 in there late in the game. But he had 0 tackles and 0 assists.
La'el Collins beat out Steele for the RT spot last season. But Jerry decided Collins was expendable so he just cut him and chose to go with Steele and two players with 0 experience to back him up. Steele had 4 penalties last night, 3 false starts and 1 holding. That was 1 less than the entire Bucs team had. Does anyone have any doubts what Jimmy Johnson would have done today had Steele committed those penalties while he was coaching?
Jerry had a reason for not investing a lot of money in the Cowboys roster this year, after signing Dak to a $40 million contract he did not deserve, based on his play last night. I have no idea what his reasoning was but it seems to me
he probably still feels the same way.
