I have a lot of doubts about this coming season. Our depth is a big concern. We will need to stay extremely healthy to have a good season.

 

[waving monkey]

I see it like this also

 

[Risen Star]

This is great news. The job's almost done.

 

[Jipper]

I guess all we need is a safety?

 

[3rd_n_inches]

I guess all we need is a safety?

We a pro bowl saftey for sure

 

[cowboy_ron]

So, all that's left to replace is merely a GM, a HC, and 2 coordinators?

 

[The Natural]

So Philly went from the cellar to super bowl champs in one offseason and here we are in year 7 of a rebuild on "the fly" clearly we're doing it wrong.

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

I see that Garrett will take us nowhere ... can't see playoffs.

Drank waaay too much Cool aid before you wrote that. This team is NOT a contender. OL rebuild done? Since when? Did you forget that we just lost our pro bowl center? And Tyron Smith is a year or two away from down hill.

CB done? Based on what? Our third corner is terrible. Jones has proven nothing. Awuzie could be a keeper but by no means is that done. I agree that QB and RB are done, but our depth is horrid. I don't consider Smith a legitimate backup RB. LB is definitely done, but when Lee is gone we shall see. DL done? Irvin and Gregory are one bad day away from being toast. We have NO other DT's that we can say are quality. That is FAAAAAR from done.

Safety is about as bad as it gets in the NFL. And then you forgot probably the most important category:

Coaching: Worst in the NFL

MIght as well throw that analysis in the garbage.

They changed Coaching Staff and got a SB a year later. One wonders.

Until Jerry realizes this and changes, or more like makes a change, it will be another 7 years.

our depth is much better than last year everywhere except s and te.

the thing that is making us uncomfortable is the ol.
martin is back practicing but had knee injury
tfred uncertainty
tsmith knee situation
rookie williams is athletic but needs more strength

but unlike last year, there is quality depth
flemming started many games at both ot spots
looney has to start for now while tfred is out
we have to grin and bare it for the beginning of season
hopefully by game 5, much of the uncertainty is over.

You should emphasize Starters vs overall at a position.

The backup spots are not done at many positions and the starters at some positions have not played a regular season game for the Cowboys yet (LG C-Will, 1tech Woods, etc.).

Personally I am uncomfortable about the OLs, the “passing game”, safeties, and I’m worried about run defense when Lee is hurt ( I’m not sold on Jaylon )

in terms of team building, most of the pieces r in.
yeah, the ol's are dinged and tfred (knock on wood) has the issue.
but those r short term, other than tsmith.

passing game is transitioning to new players.
theoretically route running should be better for dak than dez skills.
the transition in the dbs took most of last season, but that was not the reason we did not get into the playoffs.

safeties have not receive the investment the other positions in, as bjones was moved to his better position.
that will need investment after the season unless the players progress more than their draft status indicate.

u r going to have to continuously turnover at least half of the backups every year.
i think we have the top backups at ol, te, dl, lb, cb for at least a couple years.
rb may be an annual thing, and wr will be more stable after the experiment this year.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

This is great news. The job's almost done.

The process is almost over. lol

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

The backups suck. The defense looks like it's finally coming together. Not sure about the offense. Too many uncertainties.
