Sturm talks interior line and draft

[RS12]

This is just not true
Costa, kowalski, Nagy , and Arkin will make a great OL and "just need time to develop"

I heard it right here

Future Pro Bowlers everyone of em I tell ya.

 

[RS12]

the same guys are saying we are ok with WR,lets see how these guys play when Dez gets injured.

Yep, frightening thought. Dont worry, Witten is open on those 3 yard routes all day long.

 

[Risen Star]

Sturm really is a great read.

 

[skinsscalper]

Sturm really is a great read.

Agreed. Always has been.

 

[percyhoward]

Sturm really is a great read.

He's a good reader too.

 

[burmafrd]

Winnie, idgit, fuzzy and of course the immortal theogt (COSTA WILL MAKE THE PRO BOWL) all bleated that we who could see were all blind.

 

[yentl911]

I actually thought Kowalski might have something to him but he couldn't get healthy.

We need to continue to bring in players year after year to not only find starters but hopefully solid back up with a future. Our FO has been deplorable in this area for years.

As I have said several times - your offensive and defensive lines are the foundation for your team. They allow you to impose your will on the other team in the running game, give you a chance in short yardage situations on both sides of the ball and allow your skill players to succeed. This has been a shortcoming for quite some time. We need to turn this around.

If he learned anything from that, why did he fail to address the DL last offseason with even a single addition? Not even our UDFA class contained a defensive lineman.

He didn't learn a thing. Neither did his son.

This team is always reactive in a football philosophy or situation. And that is the biggest undeniable indictment of the Jones Owner/GM clan

- Romo has a good year with an average OL, OL investment must be overrated Then gets killed, OLine is important.
- Determine "covereage" sacks are wht drives a defense - goes all in on CBs and haven't replenished Dline in years. Then injuries and age catch them by surprise and now pressure matters.Yet Safety has been toilet floaters for a decade
- Draft and commit to 2TE sets - run 3WR sets as the best productive formation.

It goes on and on. There hasn't been ANY innovative thoughts (or fundamental thoughts) for a long time.

.........on second thought, paying $50M for 1 CB and a 1st and 2nd for another CB in the same offseason was original

 

[ThreeandOut]

The culprit for the OL collapse in 2011 was poor drafting. If they had hit on just a couple of the high OL picks in earlier years (Rogers, Peterman, Johnson, Marten, and Brewster), then that collapse never happens.

 

[Alexander]

Wow, Sturm is usually a bit more reserved in his criticism. He really blasted the Cowboys front-office and Jerry Jones in this article.

And rightfully so.

Brutal indictment of this front office,now we are putting our hopes on this McKay guy to rebuild the team but the GM and his son refuse to believe we Are in a rebuilding mode.

I think it was two and a half years ago when it was brought up here the offensive line needed the focus. Mac and Livings were cast offs the next off season, and Jerry, like a dog to a bone, snapped them, up as some screamed bloody murder for doing so.

I seem to remember a very heralded poster who was a big wheel here at Ole Rancid U. who went berserk with the notion a few of us were calling for money being spent on the line and not signing crap because it was cheap.

How this episode is married to the defensive line and how the defense plays in general goes back to the philosophy of having the final arbiter on disputes in regard to player acquisition be a man makes the final decisions.

A man who never earned his stripes by working his way up throughout the game in any coaching capacity or apprenticed under someone who could teach him the difference between a race horse and a plow horse.

Proof is evident all around. Not just squads so woeful they set records as the worst ever. But the entire team's record over seventeen years, and how futile it all is when you have a Fantasy Football team playing in the NFL.

That holds true for every team, let their top receiver go down and let's see how they perform. They should look at adding a receiver but i wouldn't spen a high draft pick on one.

What did Levitre cost versus these two?

Just go OL and DL within the top 3 rounds each year and move on. How we got away from the 90's without learning how important a dominant line is still a mystery to me. It's not flashy or exciting but I don't care. What I do care about is winning more games. One thing that hasn't change in the NFL - dominate the line play and you win a lot more games.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

This is what I prefer but the Jones's will ignore it and panic next year.

Our third and fourth WRs are specialists. In particular, Beasley.

Beasley cannot play outside of the slot position. Period. And even then, his route tree is very limited.

Despite Stephen's assertions, I would say WR is a fairly decent need. Not one I would be eager to fill, but I would certainly start looking at it middle to the late portion of the draft.

if this draft is as deep at WR as the pundits have it, we could pick up a good one in the 4th. First three rounds all Line
