Reason for Optimism: Xavier Rhodes

[Typhus]

Championship??

Always a possibility when in the playoffs, but at least Xavier provides some stability hopefully off the street at this point.
Off the street at this point in the season is desperation, so let's all realize that at this point, we grabbed the best we could..
X will not be thrown into full time role, there will be a rotation, we will find out just how much tomorrow night.

Another issue RT . I assume 77 will start . To me 73 is out of position at G . Play him at LT and work around these other issues , not sure I want Peters protecting Daks blind side to start this game .

Biasdasz is playing. That means from left to right:
Tyler
McGovern
Biadasz
Martin
Tyron

I assume the line will go back to normal.

Tyler Smith - McGovern - Tyler B - Martin - Smith

Rhodes played well in 2020
I suspect for a short time he can be a very solid player
He’s 32 so a 17 game season might be an issue but for what we need he could be a great fit

All Rhodes lead to Rome.

In my best Mickey Spagnola voice, "if he is so good, why hasn't any other team snagged him?"

Why didn’t anyone snag Joseph or Suh? Philly did and it has helped their run D.

What do you want Dallas to do? Sit on their hands and do nothing? Settle for below average with Joseph, etc. X factor is worth a shot!

hoping TB can make it through a half let alone a game without reinjuring it, against that DL, Vita will test that leg early for sure. when they say he can play, that doesn't mean hes 100%..

Tyron did not look very good in the last game.

Tyron did not look very good in the last game.

I just reviewed all of Tyron's snap in the Commodes game. We only had 2 bad plays...

It's odd, I keep seeing posts about Tyron having issues a RT but I'm only seeing 1 or 2 bad snaps per game.

On the flip side, he was beyond terrible (due to a bad ankle) in the playoff game vs the 49ers but nobody at CZ seemed to notice.

X will show to be a quality pickup just like hilton. Wish they added them sooner.

 

[3rdEyewarrior]

He's a savvy vet...we need our CBs to jam the wrs and disrupt routes.....if Brady takes more than 2.5 seconds to get the ball out then we have a good shot to get to him

He’s also one of the biggest corners in the league. That’ll help if we play Debo.

I agree with the poster who said "we just need him to be good for 4 games". We also need the offensive line to hold up because when any QB is pressured, strange things happen to most QBs. So we need the offensive line to hold up for 4 games also. We also need, and this is a must, to stop the run, and the #1 things we NEED TO PREVENT, are an onslaught of penalties, turnovers, and slow starts.

I'm optimistic about Rhodes too.

I still want to see Parsons at LB as much as DE.

50/50/split.

The run blocking has quietly been average to bad for 3 years.

I haven't seen any news of the Cowboys moving up practice squad players to the 53. So he may not even play tomorrow.

Also coming back from Covid, but no excuses, he was real bad that day

I’m thinking Smith will play at Tackle since our center is back. McGovern is likely LG again. Hopefully, this leads to Dak being comfortable and playing lights out.

Hopefully they get the running game going which will help Dak be comfortable and be able to play lights out.

McGovern isn’t shy better than Conner Williams was.
