This article shows why teams are still obsessed with Cowboys Envy.
Correct me if I am wrong.
But we had a lot of mediots out there, and our own share in the DFW area. But I don't recall very many, if any at all that write articles geared to downplay other teams. That purposely are against our rivals or any team. But yet all across America, writers from other cites are always writing stupid article putting down the Cowboys.

And I don't mean articles that have some truth to it, like...the Dallas pass rush needs help...but I do meant articles being way off based most of the time. Like the Romo choke articles type stuff, or have the worse returning lineup...pretty lame....

Don't go to sleep on this Jenkins ---I think he can rush the passer from the DE or the 3 tech !!!! :oldcouple:

No offense, but this stuff cracks me up.

The guy we just signed off the street is going to be the elixir to the pass rush woes?

I am hoping he just can be a competent backup.

I plan on focusing on the DEs tonight, I am interested in seeing what pressure and how close they are to a sack.

Do we have an idea of what DEs and DTs will play tonight?

Tapper is out. But is every other DE going to play?

I'm pretty sure Irving is going to be out as well. I don't know if they plan on playing Lawrence or not, but everyone else should play.

Hey how many other people out played him last week ? Let's just wait and see what he does tonight !!

He was playing against backups and some guys who won't even make the Rams.

In reality, there's a decent chance he might not even make the 53 man roster here.

Forgot about his groin. Mayowa is the guy I want to see. People around here think he's some stud in waiting so it might be nice to see some flashes tonight.

At this point I don't plan on seeing Irving, Tapper, and Mayowa. Just based on not practicing this week and Mayowa just being activated. I'd like to see Mayowa but it may have to wait a week.

Doesn't matter who outplayed him or who he outplayed.

He's a real risk to not even make the 53 man roster.

They will be low in numbers on the DE and in the backfield.
Only Morris and Jackson will be at RB. Rod Smith is out with an infection, so Keith Smith the only FB.
Mayowa though practiced, limited, so have not heard if he will play for sure. Nor anything on Tapper. So if they don't surprise us and play, and with Irving out. DLwa may get in there more some snaps. I would think a series or two.

How is being "it wont completely suck" going to surprise anyone?
The impression I am getting from some of the media and members in here are that the Cowboys will only get 7 or 8 sacks this year. All I was saying is that is won't suck like that at all and actually might surprise those with such low expectations.

Well it does matter, and if he is the best DL tonight that will matter too !!

It actually doesn't. You can convince yourself, for some reason, that Jenkins has a really good shot to make the 53 but unless he's just that unbelievable or we have a rash of injuries, you should prepare yourself for not seeing much of Jenkins come this season. I think he was brought in simply as roster fodder as the team dealt with some injuries.

ah................no, it cant possibly be that bad. Another poster and I have a bet on the number of sacks. I think it is something close to 30 on the over/under.

To even be league average in sacks in 2015, which was around 38 sacks for the season, the Cowboys need to pick up 7 sacks somewhere from last year's number.

The year before, league average in sacks was around 39-40.

Once again, another article written by a not-so confident hater. It was cute that he gave himself so many "outs" for when he is proven wrong. BUT he just HAAAADDD to put Dallas in the bottom 5 for click bait.
Philly was the correct answer, but this dufus couldn't even spell "integrity" even if you spotted him the consonants.

Hold on.

In fairness, they used data from PFF to reach these rankings. So it's not like he just randomly picked the rosters as he saw fit.
