How would everyone feel about this REALISTIC starting lineup for next season????
QB - Romo
RB - Jones/Barber
FB - Hoyte
WR - Owens
WR - Glenn/Crayton
TE - Witten
LT - Adams
LG - Kosier
C - Gurode
RG - Stienbach - FA aquisition from the Bengals***
RT - Columbo
DE - Spears/Hatcher
NT - Ferguson
DE - Canty/Ratliff
OLB - Ware
MLB - Donnie Edwards - I believe he's either a FA or is going to be released because of cap reseasons.***
MLB - Ayodelle
OLB - Ellis/Carpetner
SS - Williams
FS - Reggie Nelson - 1st round draft pick***
CB - Terrance Newman
CB - Anthony Henry
That's 3 new starters that Dallas could realistically get and afford. I think these 3 additions would be enough to put Dallas into contention. Also both Steinbach and Edwards I feel are can't miss FA aquisitions that will produce immediate results!
WR - Crayton shouldnt even be in the same breath as Glenn.. But then again I wonder if Crayton would have fumbled on the Goaline Screen
LB- So you pay Bradie James serious coin in 2006 and in 2007 he heads to kickoff team? The Bradie James situation is simple. It seems like nobody here gives him enough credit on running plays. Why he was in the Nickel defense still baffles me today. HE CAN PLAY THE RUN and is probably our best ILB playing the run. If Donnie Edwards wants to sign as a nickel LB ( highly doubtful as the PATS could use him as an ILB and keep Vrabel on the outiside with Colvin) with Burnett then great!! Sign him today...
What Wade should do if he realizes what speed he has, is have this defense in the Nickel (if they dont run a 4-3 Nickel front)
WOLB - Ware
WILB - Burnett
SILB - Bobby
SOLB - Ellis
You still have your pass rush and still have speed to cover flats and TE down the field with your ILB. Not sure why they dont.
FS - Reggie Nelson
I really like this guy for his speed and instincts. He is an unpolished Ed Reed in my humble opinion. I am not sure if he will there as Donter Whitner
I think went 8 or 9 last year which really surprised me. I think Watkins will be okay either way. But if a Landry , Nelson, Hall, or that burner from Fresno State ( if he runs good) is there at 22. You should take the best available DB. If its a S then so be it.
If Landry and Nelson is gone, then move Henry back to FS and start that rook. Watkins can still contribute in certain packages such as Dime or hopefully nickel (if Roy is back in coverage on 3rd and long , I'll shart myself).
