Something to be excited about

[chagus]

I'm not as hopeful as Rocky. I don't believe in BS as our HC, and I don't believe in this front office anymore after 2024.

Sorry, bud. You sound miserable.

 

[chagus]

Oh snap... im off this thread. Waaaaay too much drama.

 

[Praxit]

...well, in Shotty we believe.

 

[Rockport]

Yes I know. So your point was that "they" just don't know how to verbalize the adoption of the concept of optimism in a way unique to their region and/or conditioning? lol

You know what you really meant was that "they" don't have the capacity or desire to be optimistic. Here, I'll fix it for you...

How's your basic math? I'm happy to help with that too.

Comprehension is not in your vernacular.

Sorry, bud. You sound miserable.

I'm certainly not enjoying the Cowboys these days.

I’ve been around long enough to know that to reach the upper echelon’s of the NFL playoffs and to compete for a Super Bowl you’ll need to have very good offensive and defensive lines. You HAVE to have a legitimate running game so that late in the games with the lead you can pound away the time on the clock. Likewise you need a defensive line that can eliminate opposing teams running games. So when the new head coach voiced these same feelings I was immediately onboard with the hire.

And then the draft and they picked 3 d-lineman, 2 o-lineman and 2 running backs furthering Scotty’s vision. We all should be excited about this change in philosophy for the Cowboys. They’re trying to become a tough, physical team on both sides of the ball. The season doesn’t start until September so there’s plenty of time to address the hole at WR and maybe a CB. So win or lose, there’s something to be excited about after last year’s mess.

Bwahaha. When's the last time DAL stopped the run? I don't see any improvement in that area this far.

Optimism isn’t in their vernacular. They don’t understand it. They don’t like it. So they attack. It’s just what they do.

Bingo!

Bingo!

Don't you run away now!!

I agree with your thoughts. I posted this on Friday.

A 7-10 offensive line that added a rookie.

Awesome.

Dallas will be building offensive and defensive trenches 2025 and 2026. Drafting a qb in 2027.
They might have a decent team after our elite quarterback moves on.

AC has his BFF in Rockport showing up again. lmao

How embarrassing, two peas in a pod.

2nd half of last year they did a decent job of stopping the run.

 

[thunderpimp91]

2nd half of last year they did a decent job of stopping the run.

They did? Since week 8 they were:

• Washington 18 carries for 113 yards
• Philly 42 for 179 yards
• Tampa 23 for 134
• Carolina 16 for 60
• Cincinnati 19 for 74
• NYG 21 for 116
• Washington 25 for 145
• Houston 25 for 141
• Philly 38 for 187
• Atlanta 30 for 100
• SF 36 for 223

So i guess props to them for having quality showings against 5 win Cincinnati, 5 win Carolina, and 8 win Atlanta. Those other 8 games are pretty ugly though

Which begs the question - what would you have done differently this offseason?

Rocky only watches when Dak plays.

He missed those games.

After watching the draft and FA the Cowboys are moving at a snails pace compared to the rest of the division. The Commanders have just distanced themselves with their addition of Deebo Samuel and adding a 4.3 WR in the draft.
Real weapons to go with McClauren. Daniels is best QB in division. Eagles have just built a 2nd string defense through the draft that would start for most teams. The Giants made leaps on offense and defense. Cowboys are basically treading water. Overlooking the biggest weaknesses on the team at LB, DT ,RB
