Random thoughts after rewatch

[Jipper]

Yes and I was supporting you.

Cool misread my mistake

 

[GORICO]

...Yep, Quinn making the most of Jaylon. Somehow gets him in right spot. Just dont put him to guard against the run. Cant get off his blocks.

praxit---random thoughts after wacthing again on gamepass....we still have issues of runs up the middle that Philly did not capitolize enough...and we have talent that Quinn can put in good position and

teaches a defense that players can react without having to think too much..i.e...Nolan last year....and we have serious issues with badass at center..and that Martin is close if not MVP and glad he is

playing guard....and i was dead wrong about coaches not moving Martin to RT....and #11 is a generational player...looks like he has played DE for years but has not.....love how Quinn moves pieces

around....depending on circumstances.....Dak has improved on mechanics of throwing motion but even more has improved significantly seeing the field and gets ball out much quicker.....and Shutlz

better get signed soon even if we lose #89...dont lose Shutlz......still think McCarthy weak link(coaching ) ..last year he was not allowed to choose OC...and management took choice away this year for DC

so his job is clock managment....so we see why managment handcuffs his coaching choices......dont feel super confident playing panthers on 6 days rest compared to their 10 day rest....that is

obvious error of those who organize who plays who and when....but we are young enough that maybe we get away with it?.....finally media makes so much cheese on cowboys i just hope they

(players and coaches) are not eating it......this next game against Carolina is a huge Test for our team

People thought he would be almost as good as Fredbeard because they went to the same school. He needs size and strength. I would keep looking for O-Line players in the draft.

Freddy was engineer at Wisconsin----smart man----did not take him long to learn technique....he did not test high scouting combine...so slow in 40 and only 21 at bench...shows you technique far better

than physical traits....he was close to if not top center as rookie in 2013...badass looked the part and even awarded college's top center one year before injury....we wish now i bet we took cezar ruiz

 

[GORICO]

This should be the starting 5...

T. Smith
C. McGovern
M. Farniok
Z. Martin
T. Steele

very interesting at center ( Farnick )?....was thinking training Connor Williams center and McGovern LG?...but what do i know....was wrong about Steele...but what happened to Dak twice..once Philly took ball for instant TD and once Dak not good enough camera angle to see him push ball over imaginary plane....but regardless it was the center who was weak link in both

 

[GORICO]

the issue with McGovern at center in TC was he was erratic with shotgun snaps.

yep...but is not working how one hikes ball in shotgun far easier to overcome than badaiz lack of technique and strength?...i wouild think?...but what do i know...was wrong about Steele

Check out rookie Matt Farniok #68 playing at Center all game long during our last Preseason game vs the Jaguars. Remember, the Jaguars started their starters and played them the whole 1st Half and into the 3rd Quarter, so that gives one a decent assessment of how well Farniok performed against another team's starters.

He gets pushed back in passing but is strong at run blocking. That makes me wonder if it’s technique.

 

[Stash]

It was one, which I acknowledged.

I don't like him either, but he isnt the disaster he was last year and I speculate that may be due to coaching.

He didn’t look terrible, save for that one huge run which was ALL HIS FAULT. But it’s also important to consider that neither he nor the Cowboys run defense was tested either. The Eagles running backs got a total of three carries. One of which went for 20+ yards.

Sometimes I try to figure out what he MIGHT have been thinking and cant.

Hiking in practice is one thing, do you want to have flashbacks of Gurode early in his career hiking over Tony's head

 

[kskboys]

Agreed.

But my point to the op was his comment that a 23 year old with 1 full offseason in the NFL has peaked in strength is an innacurate Statment

Of course. However, facing the top DT combo in the NFL is a huge factor.

McGovern doesn’t do well at LG. The coaches and JJ have both mentioned he’s not comfortable there. He’s an RG.

very very interesting...i like it....hope coaches dont get stiff necked about it?

awww interesting....that would be my thought....if it is not that he has his NFL body yet that is causing it....so maybe he can get better in his technique...maybe this week light bulb comes on?

but that is very tough D line with Brown....but cant be worse than Vita Vea

 

[GORICO]

oh man that one time against the rams...and Tony pulls off rabbit out of the hat and scrambled for first down...i mean it went 20 yards over his head

 

[GORICO]

Of course. However, facing the top DT combo in the NFL is a huge factor.

man cant we get an easy game?....i watched all 3 games Carolina played on gamepass condensed version...no one runs against that front and they rush the passer with great vigor and success

i am hoping both our OC and DC put together a scheme like no other....just worried about panthers 10-day rest verses our only 6 days....2 of the teams Carolina faced stayed with them until

like middle of 3rd quarter and were wore out....i just hope i was watching super inferior teams play Carolina ...just dont feel good about this one

So what, they had 4 more days to scout the Cowboys. Our 6 days is plenty of time to prepare for this game. We gain a day of pre-time by hosting the game. And our 12th man will show up again to cheer on our 'Boys.

 

[Verdict]

Getting him as a 4th round comp pick (so basically the 5th round) was great value.
If he was just a life-long backup it would be great value that late.

Few players ever were or ever will be Freddy. He was the ideal center.

I think we traded up to get him, so we gave up two late picks to get him. But yeah, we are getting a decent return on investment.

Short rest is a real thing, no matter what anyone says to the contrary.

I'll leave out most of the obvious and/or things that have been said often. Credit to the many unmentioned players who really showed up to play.

-Biadasz: I'm not ready to give up on him. His run blocking is more than acceptable. We ran all over them all night and he was right in the middle of that many times. He does seem to get pushed backwards in pass protection more than you'd like. He has been around long enough to have maxed out strength wise, so thats a bit of a concern, but I wouldn't go advocating for Farinok just yet, and I doubt the team is considering that at this point.

-Overall depth: The Garrett era felt like we had a top heavy roster. Some stars, names, etc.....but when one starter would go down the drop-off would be quite noticeable, and the opposition seemed to inevitably exploit that and it would cost us. Now when guys like Collins/Wilson/Armstrong go down, we have others to come in and offer up a similar performance.

-Speaking of Steele: He just looks different. Last year he looked like your average fat man....like an extra in a football movie. Now he looks the part of an NFL tackle and is backing it up on the field. If I'm Collins, I'm nervous.

-JSmith: One play aside, he really did play pretty well. The spy role is probably where he is best used at this point, and the coaches are doing an excellent job of putting people in the right places to get the most out of them....something that was missing here for a very long while.

Guys can always get stronger. Not sure what you exactly mean by Biadasz has reached his limit in strength.
