Some quick thoughts

[Booger]

Just don’t want him too scared to make a mistake

Agreed. I do think MM will have Daks ear. Confidence.....will go a long way.

Gifford is ahead if Jabril Cox on the depth chart.

I expect Hilton to play a much higher percentage of snaps in the playoffs than in the regular season.

That's a shame. I thought Cox would be the man.

-Defense is struggling, but not in creating turnovers, lead the league again. This is without Diggs getting much, sooner or later he will get his.

-I would start Alexander in the slot and Bland on the outside, Wright is more of a zone corner who struggles in man.

-Would like to see Cox playing in the nickel. Saw him take a few snaps last week, rather seeing him in coverage then a Barr, let’s hope Lve returns as well.

-Hilton needs to start and Gallup become the third receiver. Hilton gets great separation.

-Dak has to clean up all of these turnovers, but he is playing at such a high level, where the offense is putting up 30 points almost every game, even with these turnovers.

-SFO scares me the most, even over the Eagles who are very talented.

- McClay has managed to supply Quinn with ballhawks and playmakers - even from those that were so less heralded ala Kearse, Wilson and now Bland.
but give credit to those like Parsons, Fowler and Dlaw upfront, ..fumble recoveries too. to which Cowboy lead the NFL in recovering fumbles i believe.

- Is this gonna be like that Packers (or was it Saints ?) team that not made to Super bowl, ..but won it despite a yards yielding defense, but still
was tops in entire NFL in creating turnovers ... ?

- The defense plays off the success of what the offense can give it. We still have issues vs run, and we've had backup QBs doing well against our starters.
- That's not gonna fly in the playoffs against the Brady and Rodgers or Hurts we could likely face.

- Joseph's knuckkehead penalites aside, it seems like we've lowered the amount of penalties in the last few past games.
- i thought surely by now, that pro bowl invitee Turpin would have broke one big for a TD run back. but i love his decision making and ball security.

- Hilton has only arrived but he's already display playmaking ability. Have to careful with his reps and snaps.
At his age and past durability issues, we have to be careful to spot his play and packages.

Where's that LVE Hater ?

CalPoly?

It’s looking more like that Saints formula creating defensive turnovers than making stops. However, our defensive stars need to start playing up to their elite levels: Parsons, Diggs and DLaw

Naw Not Cal. I forget his screenname but I mean he was over the top with his hate towards LVE.

every time cox name is mentioned you are quick to shave the same response. he kick your dog LOL

 

[xwalker]

Maybe next year.

The 3 Safety sets result in a Safety in the role Jabr

every time cox name is mentioned you are quick to shave the same response. he kick your dog LOL

Just laughing at people that love Cox and hate Jalen Tolbert...

 

[chagus]

Hankins/Lve returning should help, teams are taking away the run, they are daring Dak to beat them which he has

Yup. The defense has suffered since Hankins went put.

to which that's a bad telling testiment to have to rely on one lone aging, serviceable big man.

We have to spend the resources at the DT position, we already cut Hill, Gallimore is probably next.

They cut Hill in mid season because they could not stand him in the locker room.
They tried to trade him to get something from him via late round picks but no takers. but they were not gonna keep with having him around.

i doubt Gallimore will be cut now,.. but unless there are interior conflict betwtixt player vs coaches, he won't be cut until
we immediately upgrade and gain additional more DTs they like and believe, Gallimore will likley just play his rookie contract out and move on.

at draft time, i was excited about him with his great athletic pre-draft workouts and Senior Bowl practices ... but he has never developed to his potential.
He plays too tall and high, and he still has issues getting off blocks. just like many of of our DTs, he'll flash on rare occasions but those are far too apart
and too rare.

Spend ?..... Stephen ?

Stephen will only do that for a core player he is interesting in re-signing.
That's a Diggs .. Micah .. for sure.

- If Dlaw did not break in, .. i believe we would have been moving away from him.
Despite the ACL injury i believe Stephen will be resigning Steele long term.

- We just don't have regards for the 1 tech,
i dunno how that came to be, cuz " quick twitch" Marinelli is no longer here.
So any idea, established 1 tech in vet FA is gonna command big dollar$ and Stephen will never do that for that role.

- So we have no choice but to put it in McClay's hand to come up with diamond in rough player whether late rd, undrafted
or bargain based vet player - just as we seemed to do that with safety role.
It's always be a Money Ball approach.

- That last time i ever heard that we were seriously seeking to highly invest in a safety was Jamal Adams trade reports (which i was never in favor for)
as well as the reported trade attempt for Earl Thomas.

Maybe not in fa, but could use a 1st rd pick at the position.

Maybe not cut, but won’t see an extension. Cannot keep missing at the position. We need both a 1 and a 3. OSA has been ok, but not an impact performer

 

[quickccc]

Even i myself would not use a first round pick on a 1 tech guy.

- They are not that difference making impact to use a 1st rd that high on.
The last time i had heard of a reported consideration for a 1 tech in 1st rd was Vea Vita
and that was supposedly because Cowboys (Marinelli ? of all people?) thought he had 3 tech traits

- but i'd make 2nd to 3rd area a consideration for a highly regarded 1 tech.

- theorically i agree with the Cowboys philiosophy on not drafting safeties in 1st round.
Reportedly i had heard they would only draft a safety if they thought he was a true blue chipper.

I am staying we need both, would like an impact 3T in rd 1 and a 1T on day 2. I would of drafted Travis Jones over Sam Williams last yr and tried to trade up for the latter.

 

[Motorola]

Where's that LVE Hater ? Seriously , What was that boys Name?. Oh well you know who you are.

Kobe! how my d@#% taste ????? Shaq

Hater!!! How my D@#% taste ???? LVE

CalPoly?

Naw Not Cal. I forget his screenname but I mean he was over the top with his hate towards LVE.

There were a least a half-dozen CZers that railed on LVE since training through midseason.
No negative comments lately...nor any mea culpas from rheim either.

DTs is a position that is very hard to nab an impact player. They just don't fall off trees.
Look at the number of past DTs that were drafted as high as first round but we still don't hear much from them

- Bills Ed Oliver who the Cowboys reportedly coveted very much ....
- Niners Jevon Kinlaw another coveted draftee , has been more of a serviceable piece than the next DeForrest Buckner
- We await to see how Jordan Davis pans out

- at the time, i thought of packaging 3rd rd picks (ala Wright, Golston) to move up to draft Christian Barmore who went to NE Pats instead.
but it now seems we go for quantity over quality. We don't do the key trade ups anymore in the NFL draft.

i feel really good about Sam Williams pick .
i'm not fretting that at all.

But it's these Nashon Wright picks who most felt was a major reach in the 3rd rd. and all the more looking like it that i'd like
this team to avoid that's killing us in the long run.
