Sharp: Cowboys have the 2nd best secondary in the league

[Nova]

Dan Quinn has just done such a tremendous job. Dude knows how to coach them up. He also is pretty good at scouting secondary players. He has his misses like everyone. But he knows how to find them. For sure.

So true.

Reminds me of how Seattle used to just elevate guys as soon as they were asked to step up

 

[EST_1986]

He getting cooked this year.

You hope for some odd reason

 

[805BoysInBlue]

Kind of does considering their unproven safeties

The corners were kinda exposed towards the back half of the season

 

[John813]

All pro CB Xavier Howard on opposite side ,, but who are the Fin's safeties and 3rd CB slot that can compete and compare to us ?

Holland is an up and coming safety. Brandon Jones is a decent SS

 

[exciter]

Bland is so good. That guy is just scratching the surface. It isn’t just Diggs and Gilmore that makes the secondary good. They have depth and talent in a lot of spots. However, those first 3 corners of Diggs, Gilmore, and Bland are going to be a ***** to throw against. They’re going to give the pass rush time to get home.

Also, with Wilson out until the season starts, I’m looking forward to seeing more of Bell at S. That guy hits like a LB. If he can cover, Dallas has stole one there. We shall see.

Right, after Blane’s performance last season with the expectation that he carries it over, I’m not sure how anyone can expect Lewis to still hold the #3 CB position per the above depth chart!

Eagles seem high

Only team that can lose players and replace them with rookies or second year players and somehow according to the media not be worse but better.

 

[Creeper]

1 or 2, not much difference. The Jets are going to be a good team this year if Rodgers has anything left in the tank. The have the players to be really good.

The Cowboys are a good team two. It should be a good matchup when these two teams meet, but Rodgers seems to have their number.

Let's hope the injuries to our safeties are destined be resolved. Our FO has done a great job of attending to their help. Tip of the hat for that.

 

[805BoysInBlue]

Somehow they're calling Diggs a boom or bust type of corner...I swear these media narratives are hilarious. Just like Hurts having one good season all of a sudden makes him a top 5 qb.

 

[Bullflop]

The talent has surely been augmented with the addition of talent this year. Let's hope our coaching helps them to perform accordingly.

Wow super bowl for sure.

Greatest pass rusher in the history of football, #2 secondary, hall of famers on the offensive line, Top 5 qb Dak Prescott, Jerry and mike mccarthy in charge.....

sounds like a super bowl for sure...I will say Cowboys +10 vs whoever they play in february.

What a roster.

 

[DFWJC]

Rams 32nd
my how the tide turns

 

[DFWJC]

this is probably the best secondary we’ve had , at least on paper, in a quarter century

Yes, since the mid 90s

Good chance to make some coins. +1400 to win SB. +3000 Mazi for DROY, NFC Conference Winner +600, Dak MVP +2500, Micah DPOY +650

 

[shabazz]

Jets' hype is obnoxious even if understandable.

Rodgers giving back 35 million has given them even more enthusiasm. …..if they sign Dalvin Cook they are gonna explode

 

[CowboyFrog]

If Gillmore is anything like last year Cowboys have the best secondary and it may not be close. top 3 Saftey room, top 1 (imo) CB group... again if these players continue like last year i dont think it will be close.

 

[kskboys]

Dolphins seem low unless it’s post Ramsey due to him missing the start of the season

Ramsey is reported as being out til December.

Bland is so good. That guy is just scratching the surface. It isn’t just Diggs and Gilmore that makes the secondary good. They have depth and talent in a lot of spots.

Bell is too tight hipped for coverage. (Not my words, BTW, scouting report). Looks to be strictly a STer.

 

[Captain43Crash]

Agree?

I disagree!

I think are DB’s are the best.

If Sam Williams plays up to his physical potential and our DT’s stuff the run this defense can be the best in the league AND dominant( give up less than 14 points per game ).

I do wish we would have signed Bobby Wagner for 8-10 million though( like Seattle).
