This offense should be "unstoppable", barring injury of course. If the Cowboys coaches can't score 35 points a game given this talent and level of investment, I think they need to be seriously questioned. The offense now has a 'steak on every plate'. The team going so far as to not only sign a multi-time 1,000 yard, Pro Bowl running back to add to your 1,100 yard rusher from last season, but they went out and used their best draft resource in over 20 years to add another one!
Take a look at the 11 projected starters, and depending on which formation you choose, I don't think there's a player who either isn't a proven Pro Bowler or at worst a 4th round draft pick (Free). And please don't waste anyone's time mentioning Collins, everybody knows who he is, his talent level, and how he got here. He's another first rounder.
If this offense isn't top 5 minimum, we have to question the coaches involved.
But, given injuries, draft misfires, and suspensions, this defense is looking to be among the least talented in the league. Even the ascending young players have let the team down. About the only young player you can hope for vast improvement from is Byron Jones. Unlike the others, he's shown flashes and isn't set to be suspended.
Hopefully, a rookie like Tapper proves to be more than expected, or Ryan Russell or David Irving continue to develop, but at this point, that's what we have, a lot of hope on that side of the ball.
For this team to win, this offense needs to be dominant, to the tune of 28-35 points per game. If not, this define will struggle to keep them competitive and the offensive staff deservedly needs to be held accountable.
My belief is that the team is planning a throwback style of offense similar to the team's of the '90's, where they simply come out trying to bludgeon their opponents with a virtually unstoppable running game. The investments have certainly been made.
