Starting DL Without Micah

[Kingofholland]

Yeah the self imposed soap opera is depressing. But if you sift through the fog of the Jones powered smoke machine, the truth is (in my view) we have a mediocre roster.

Hate to say it but if I’m being as completely objective as I can be, this team has major holes in its roster. The DT and RB positions are full of below average players in areas where we knew going into the season were problems.

We are not only not better at those positions, we maybe searching trades and the waiver wire before the opening night in Philly.

I will happily be wrong if this team is more than I see. But I can’t pretend we are something we aren’t.

I think there's more questions right now, than as a fan you like to see and it gives you pause to feel great about how far this team can go. DT 1 tech and RB1 are big question marks as you pointed out. Then you have some health questions at cb, and some young players that need to step up on the oline. Then Dak is coming off a down year, and then there's the Micah soap opera.

However, I also think if healthy this team is talented enough that they can surprise. A lot of that is riding on the oline taking a step forward giving Dak better protection, that should also create more opportunities for the running game. I like the RB room better than going into last year, but someone will have to emerge to balance this offense. If the oline takes a step forward and the RB room collectively is atleast average I think this team will be competitive provided Dak can get back to 23.

f Philly fanatics circling the Boys like a pack of sharks?

They suiting up?

 

[Gameover]

This crazy soap opera is sickening to Cowboy fans, who are hungry for a winning culture and a playoff bound team

You've had that most of the past decade of seasons

 

[Gameover]

Not one could crack the Giants or Eagles rotation.
Pathetic

Didn't the Giants sign one of our spare lineman?

So who will start on the DL come the first game, amidst a frenzy of Philly fanatics circling the Boys like a pack of sharks?

This crazy soap opera is sickening to Cowboy fans, who are hungry for a winning culture and a playoff bound team. I am sure Micah's agent is not an attorney, who has ethical duties to act in good faith with all his work.

Divisiveness in Frisco is detrimental to the team and making Super Bowl goal oriented fans depressed.

So who will start on the DL come the first game, amidst a plethora Cowboys' haters, national media all clamoring to make fun of this storied franchise, and Eagle players intending to deliver a humiliation?

Neeland at LDE, Osa at DT3, Mazi by default at DT1, and D. EZ at RDE or Sam Williams?

EZ will not be starting. He will ease in as a pass rush specialist.

 

[Gameover]

Kneeland sucks.

looney

 

[Chasing6]

Williams - Osa - Mazi - Kneeland

I think Fowler starts over Williams.

 

[Chasing6]

Good question. I think no matter who's there, the run defense will still be bad.

Well the question becomes have we made a change in coaching philosophy and at least to attempt to stomp the run. I believe we have.

We are not going to have a DLine that is playing pass defense on every play. If the front 4 can hold ground and not run up the field taking themselves out of the play, then maybe our LB's will have a chance to make a play.

What does he do good? Let's see who is looney.

I bet you are the looney one. Yes.

You mean Gholston? A borderline pro bowler

 

[EPL0c0]

Kneeland, Osa, Thomas, fowler

Osa & Thomas inside looks right. I do think that Winfrey will see more snaps than Mazi

I think the DEs will rotate a lot so starter doesn't really matter: Kneeland/Williams/Eze and Fowler/Houston/Wheat

 

[Gameover]

A borderline pro bowler

News to me! So Jerry is really good at finding players?

 

[CCBoy]

We are loaded on the edge? With Micah, we have (checks notes), exactly 1 above average Edge rusher. Do you know something I don't about our edge rushers?!

Now isn't that manly...you have some doubts and no explanation beyond just that. Must be 'holy' graile here and a deep set of love for football.

Just can't wait for 4 Sep to see ... huh.

 

[Smith22]

We were 28th in the league last year, having Parsons didn't make a difference, yeah he missed 4 games but he also played in 12..and btw we were 30th against the run.

You see the players we were using at corner last year?

Last year was awful for a million reasons, and Micah isn't one of them.

True but if you're not going to play him a lot man get someone else

 

[Creeper]

Coog that’s just not true

I posted this a couple of times but the Micah haters will just ignore it or deny it.

 

[HungryLion]

Williams - Osa - Mazi - Kneeland

#32 ranked DL in the league

 

[HungryLion]

Where did this crazy myth about Micah being bad against the run come from?

People who don’t actually watch players carefully and/or know what they’re seeing.
