This is not a Dak must go post, he is under contract and he is remain the starting QB for at least 2 seasons.

How do you fix this offense from personnel and scheme?

-Offense truly lacks any legitimate skilled positional players, outside of Lamb. They basically are playing bottom of the roster types at both WR and RB. Clearly, they need another alpha type receiver who will allow Lamb to see less attention and a legitimate explosive back.

-OL is in flux. Steele is a legitimate cut candidate after this season, he just hasn't returned to his pre-injury form. He is a major liability in pass protection. Guyton is a green rookie that seems to struggle with inside moves, he just needs more reps/experience as he possesses all the natural tools. Richards has always looked good in camp, the team needs to give him more of an opportunity. Zach Martin isn't an elite player anymore, is Beebe a better Guard then a Center? Solari has been a downgrade as the new OL Coach. They must replace Solari with more of a modern coach who is adverse with today's rushing schemes.

-MM scheme is totally outdated and easy to defend. There is no pre snap motion, rarely do we see a basic screen, receivers are always covered and he never stays with the run game, even when it's working. When you watch other offenses, you see receivers wide open, but never within this offense. Offenses today model the Shannahan/McVay, ton of pre-snap motion, mis-direction and easy reads for the QB. Problem here is they have pretty much the old air coryell type of personnel, which demands that the OL hold up in pass pro.

Like I used with the defense, the Lions are a good comparison to how you build a elite offense:

Goff-is real good when his run game gets going and doesn't move off his spot.
Montgomery/Gibbs-power/speed combo
St. Brown (their Lamb), excels in the slot, Williams the true speedy deep threat
LaPorta-an excellent all-around TE.
Their OL has 2 stars, with the rest working well as a unit-Sewell, Ragnow

You just look at their personnel and scheme, the Cowboys are no where near that type of unit. Sure, they have some parts, but need to start adding other pieces.

Year 1-should be landing that #2 receiver and addressing the RB position.

It’s really bad. I’m curious what the new staff will look like?

The Jones are strange in the way they will interview the Rooney rule coach and then pounce on one guy instead of doing an extensive search like most teams.

Im a proponent of a Tyler&Tyler OT.

I think Bebee will be a better OC than he is an OG. I think right now he is fat. He allegedly came into the NFL with 30% body fan (according to McGinns anon scout). I think it shows with him not being a very good 2nd level blocker right now. It will get better once he gets leaner. Right now, he is good at styming interior pressure

Tolbert has been decent, but he is probably more of a 2012 Laurant Robinson type, than a real #2

New offensive staff. Fire everyone.

LT - Smith
LG
C - Beebe
RG
LT - Guyton

Steele becomes ST.

Draft a best player available RB and Guard in the first 2 rounds. Resign Rico.

Have to address a legit DT in FA we have no idea on how to draft one. Can also add one later in the draft.

Do not extend Martin, if he wants to keep playing trade him whatever we can get.

Coaching changes won’t matter in the end, they will still be dealing with position inadequacies. Jerry and son don’t know how to address the real problems that start with fortifying both lines.

There is no way that a young, innovative HC can overcome the Joneses and the culture. Heck, Jerry probably hires his new coordinators for him.

I don’t know the answer but I suspect more groundhog seasons.

The culture of this team is broken and only a strong experienced head coach with some serious skin on the walls can change that. I agree 100% we need more quality players at key positions but there is no leadership. Even if they get a few players and start winning, I wouldn't trust them coz there are no leaders to keep them grounded. In other words, until Jerry hires a coach who's willing to make winning a Super Bowl a top priority HIS WAY and has authority over all football personnel, it will be the same history repeating itself.

We need BB whether we like it or not. He will bring discipline, reduce penalties and hold everyone accountable. That would at least be a start in the right direction.

Too early to tell. Let's finish at 8 and 9 and make it happen.

Being honest I would hate 8-9, this team needs top talent. I think the rams got Aaron Donald like 2 picks before us because we finished 500 and picking something like 18th and the rams nabbed him a couple of picks before us. As we can see the last couple of drafts picking in the 20’s have not been kind to this team. At least picking in the top 8 may help them.

I don't see it getting that bad without some more injuries.

In other words water is wet.

:clap: :clap: :clap: You can add all the talent in the world to this team and it won't mean a lot unless there is leadership to their feet to the ground. Otherwise, the built-in Dallas Cowboys stardom rush to their after each win.

I liked two things Dallas did yesterday . Threw to the Tight ends in the end zone .

Schoonmacher was mugged in the end zone drew pass interference putting the ball at the one and Spann Ford should have caught the back of the end zone pass , Dak put it in his hands .

I’m searching for offensive hope .
