Rookie Defensive Players

[jujoboys]

Last 2 games our rookies have combined for 25 tackles and 4 sacks along with 8 QB hits.

We needed an influx of talent on that side of the ball. The Cowboys FO got it done in the draft. I am very picky about the draft, but this appears to be a very good one. It also helps last years DC is gone and we have Dan Q

This may end up being the greatest draft class in franchise history.

Greater than the 1964 draft that gave us 3 HOFers.

Greater than the 1975 "Dirty Dozen" draft.

Greater than the Parcells 2005 "3-4" draft.

Easy big fella.

While the early returns are promising, there are many, many years to go before that all plays out.

(And don't overlook the '89 Draft)

 

[Chocolate Lab]

I liked Golston all along but I can't believe he's playing this well with zero training camp or preseason snaps, and only a couple of padded practices and one game.

And Osa is a big hit already. Huge to find what looks like a quality 3 tech in the 3rd round.

And many many other rookies from that class that hasn't even begun to play.

Surely you know these days you’re only supposed to consider recent years when determining “best ever”

Really, when you look back at the last four drafts, McClay has been golden.

We've torn up these last couple drafts and are reaping the rewards on game day.

 

[JJHLH1]

The rookies are a big reason we are 3-1.

I didn’t say we haven’t had good drafts, but better than the ones you mentioned?

I thought Golston was a bad pick. So far, he's playing really well--and with such little practice time. Looking very good so far.

gholston, Osa, parsons. great start

 

[charron]

If Joseph or nashon can develop it would be a huge boost to this defense.

 

[Mr_437]

I like Osa just as much as Parsons.
If Golston, Bohanna and Cox can turn into legit rotational players this season excellent because that's a 3rd, 6th n 4th contributing.

At CB, you have Wright n Joseph...now if one of the guys can make a push to challenge opposite Diggs around Nov/Dec my goodness.

Osa, Micah, Bo n Golston are in the lineup to stay from the look of things, and I feel Jabril Cox is the next one to pop if he can get some snaps.

The Dirty Dozen? Really? Much too soon for talk like that.

 

[plasticman]

Well, we don't know until it's over, i will concede that.

Let me rephrase.

This draft , I believe, has impacted the following season more than any other. That is to say, rookie contributions may exceed those of any previous season.

Can anyone recall a year when the rookies contributed more for their teams?

The season isn't even one fourth completed and we have almost an entire defensive line of rookies with sacks. This is just teh beginning, Our rookie CB's have yet to contribute.

In one offseason, it seems, the Cowboys have successfully fixed the two most glaring weaknesses in their defense. That is and turnovers

The Dirty Dozen? Really? Much too soon for talk like that.

Of the Dirty Dozen, six had sustained careers of six years or more. There were two offensive linemen, three LB's and one DT. Two rookies started 3 or more games

Taking another look at the 2005 draft, six had sustained careers of six years or more. there were three defensive linemen, two linebackers and a RB. Three of those rookies started 3 or more games.

Looking at this current rookie crop, two rookies have started 3 or more games a quarter of the way through the season. I project at least one more starter from this years draft. So, it may be early but all indications are, it's a relevant conversation.

I certainly can't remember a year when a rookie class dominated a squad in the way this year's defensive line is being manned.

 

[BoysfanfromCanada]

Bohanna is doing his job of taking up room much better than the FA 1Ts we signed last year. Really effective group, can't wait till Bossman Fat starts playing.

people really was hating on the glolston + osa pick too i remember that!!!!!
