News: Spagnola: Inability To Close This Cowboys Defense’s Worst Nightmare

[Mr Cowboy]

I still have a vivid recollection of last season, and defense was not the primary reason for a 4-12 record.

 

[CCBoy]

Yes, and ignore the 800-pound gorilla: no credible backup QB or a QB for the future.

First off, who said one couldn't be signed in free agency prior to the draft?

 

[Mr Cowboy]

First off, who said one couldn't be signed in free agency prior to the draft?

which one?

 

[CCBoy]

which one?

We have already been through that exercise...and free agency starts now in under two weeks. I think that RGIII still would be my favorite...for fun, Colt McCoy. I still like him.

 

[NEODOG]

While I see all the needs on defense I suspect in a couple years when romo is gone those opposed to taking a QB and grooming him for the future will be singing a different tune
The way I see it Bosa, Ramsey or name the guy at 4 is gonna make this defense better but not a SB caliber defense while having a franchise QB ready in a couple years can mean a decade of not having to watch the Chad Hutchins or Quincy Carters coming thru
If I thought one defensive player would make this a good defense I might think differently and what we do in FA could change things but I don't see a defensive player at the top of this draft who is gonna make this a good defense by himself but a QB in a couple years could make the offense much better than what we will have after Tony if we don't start looking down the road at some point

A QB to make this offense better? Oh my....its taken Romo years to get to this point. So a new QB, will come in & taken our O to new levels? Didn't you witness life without Romo running this offense?
Thats asking a lot of a new QB

 

[CCBoy]

So, two free agents and three or four draft picks for the defensive line. Does that sound like a plan?

[GimmeTheBall!]

That 800lb gorilla has a 6% chance of winning a SB in last 20yrs top 5 pick draft.... EXACTLY 2 top 5 picks QB have won.... Both have Manning as a last name.

6%

So, bloke, in your world the QB has fallen from key position to a complement to the defense. Interesting.
Heh.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

FA implies, old fellow, and I infer that such a player would be older rather than young. And possibly/probably more expensive. Of course, a high QB draft pick might cost a pretty pfennig, cut I guess that is the cost of doing business.

 

[Zimmy Lives]

No No NO
We need a back up QB with that 4th pick. You know, so he can watch, learn & sit the bench.. Then when Romo is hurt, he can come in & be the savior.
All the while, our same D can't stop Scooby Doo & Shaggy, from running up and down the field.

Solid thinking I tell ya

Scooby-Doobie DOOOOOO

More like Scrappy-Doo thinking.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Skipped the 6th grade mentally huh?

Now, now. Can't we get alone here without the petty insults?

Let us be more gracious without the "blah-blah-blahs" and the "skipped the 6th grade" inferences.

I propose a day -- today -- without invective. Reality would be proud of us. OK, who's with me!!!!!

Heh.

Many of duck QB's have won SB with TALENTED STRONG defense

How many SB victories do you remember:
QB performance or
STRONG D performance?

With the Cowboys, the D stands out at Super Bowels
With other Super Bowls, somehow the QBs stand out.
It's subjective, yes, old fellow?

Look, Bud...I'm not a five year old subject to your own whims and use of information ignored...carry on, pal.

Get into the conversation prior to flying off on a tangent...

Also, try keeping up with a group of postings provided on subject...to wit, a 'younger' free agent is needed right now, as a pass rusher and a defensive tackle. (coughing) That would happen prior to the draft and point out to any fans wondering team directions.

I prefer drafting FOUR, defensive linemen during this draft...but that would project into rotation and a stronger showing NEXT season.

Don't think a QB you draft will have any impact for a couple years which is just about the time tony will be gone
I don't think anyone wanting a QB expects any impact this year
It's more about thinking past this year

How does Marinelli keep his job?

My! Someone got up on the wrong side of the barracks!
Tea with a blueberry scone, I say, dear fellow. It might not improve your disposition but might pacify your tummy. Won't you try to be civil?
For one day?
C'mon bloke, give us a smile. Give us that ol' "Get happy!" song and dance you learned at summer camp in the Ozarks!
Everybody, let us wish CCboy the best day ever!

There is a lot in what you say!!!!!
Heh.

Explain why he shouldn't...

You two need to stop before you both get a vacation.
