LBs were going to ball..........JSmith and LVE are monsters...SLee is Jedi Master

CBs were strong and Safeties were weak...... ET drama prevented us from upgrade at FS..... the BJones hate was uncalled for

Dez would be missed....... Hurns is no clone and TWill is a mental midget..... Gallup can play......SWatkins was a great miss

Rico needs to play more...... RGregory was worth the wait, nice Sack...... DIrving is worth this year's troubles but not in the future

Dak needs to run more ...... Read Option, Bootlegs, Scrambles and Draws are his game....he is not pocket passer ......don't force it

Zeke is a beast...... Feed the Man

Should have got DLaw signed but it takes two to Tango

JG is Coach for JJones' life..... til death do they part

i ll join in.

I didnt think the LBs would be as strong, I liked teh LVE pick because it was solid and he would be learning from Lee. I also didnt think Bloom the coach was all that good. I wanted James when he dropped and thought that would solve a big problem, even moreso than having ET. I am not completely wrong, but this isnt a bad road either.

Cbs would be strong and Jeff Heath is better as a part time player.

I actaually didnt think Dez would be missed because it seems Dak can get the ball around. If Garrett and Linehan would have perfected teh offense from the get go it would have been a better year. Props to Looney for stepping in fro Fredbeard.

Rico needs more, but i would be ok either way. I am glad Swaim is showing all the resident coaches here they were wrong.

Dak is Dak, not Romo, took the coaches a while to realize that.

THey did the right thing with Dlaw, he has to show it he can do it. Hes doing it but we need someone else to really step up. Taco is doing a good job. Im also ready for this to be Richards D. THank you Marinelli, but your time is over, you saw that and you have been a class act.
 
Two things, Til death do us part, well death it is........lol

And if Dak actually starts moving the ball again by doing all that I'm going to be pissed that we waited so long when it was blatantly obvious all offseason.

Sean Lee is the Jedi Master? The boy can play, but when your draft strategy (drafting LVE) is because you know your LB will miss games because of injuries, that is a real problem. Time to move on from Lee in my humble opinion.

1. I couldn't agree more.

2. Fans overreact on the S position. Not near as bad as most make it out to be.

3. Dez is not missed. This team was 27th in passing last year with Dez.

4. Rico is a legend in some fans minds but I wouldn't be against more playing time. Gregory hasn't shown enough to say he was worth the wait but he hasn't shown anything that says he wasn't. Agree on Irving.

5. Couldn't agree more.

6. Couldn't agree more .

7. Not with inconsistent play and back issues. He'll be signed now.

8. Couldn't agree more,unfortunately.

SLee is the perfect teammate for JSmith and LVE..... his knowledge and approach are priceless for young LBs

Heath is not a FS..... put him in the box in Nickel... hopefully Thompson can play....Go Boise D

Dez drew attention at the least..... no one does right now

We have RGregory for3 cheap seasons.... he is like a delayed 1st rounder like JSmith

I knew the defense was legit.... so much so I drafted them in fantasy....lol. Actually, they are not a great fantasy Ddue to lack of turnovers, but this d line is big time. This is the dline we all have been harping for, for years. We are young, have depth, and can finally get after the qb.

D Irving IS worth the "Trouble." Weve seen what the RKOG gets us..... nothing. And we dont know if he is any "Trouble." Most teams have some guys that have had issues. The great Belichek bringing in Gordon tells you teams are willing to take a shot on talent, and Irvings talent is undeniable.

Twill is not a mental midget. Guy got drunk during the summer, like many of us have and made a mistake. He might not be a difference maker on the field, but he has been class and stable his entire career up until his incident this past summer.

A WR needs to be drafted next year in RD 1 or 2...Id go 2, because Id draft a qb in rd 1. Dez is missed for sure, but his absence is diminished by not having a qb that could take advantage of his skills.

Can we give the coaches a little credit for taking a shot on Rico? There is not much doubt in my mind that Rico could take over next year as THE TE on this team. I definitely want to see him used much more, and when we get down inside the 20, I dont ever want to see him on the sidelines.

The Dak we saw this weekend, MUST be the Dak we see in every game. He was very effective..... but I am not going to give all of this credit to scheme or him running. He seems to have had a different mind set. He was aggressive, he was looking downfield, and he was going to run if nothing was there. He did not pass for many yards, but when you add in 80plus yards rushing to his passing yards, those are numbers we can live with. He can not sustain those rushing numbers though. I do believe he needs 40-50 yards every game for us to win consistently.

JG is a solid coach.... EVERYTHING is magnified in Dallas. Games in the NFL are ridiculously close from week to week, and last weeks genius coach is this weekends jack arse.

Is it not clear to everyone that last weeks game is the recipe to success for us? So if Dak reverts back to the guy that feels heat , throws like crap, doesnt look downfield, and will not run, we will go back to absolutely stinking. So lets see if we can do it 2 weeks in a row.
 
This defense might get better as the season wears on. It has happened on many occasions in the past, I'm hoping it happens with this D.
 
What trouble is Irving really causing? Upsetting some fans? What are the tangible affects of him having issues? Roster spot? He’s hard to replace.

Misses some games. Plays in others. A sack a game player is worth a lot.
Yes, I strongly disagreed with the O.P.'s stance on #95

Sammy Watkins was a great miss?? That contract is horrific, why on earth would you want the Cowboys to have him? We dodged a major bullet on Watkins.

You can bet Lee has been a large part of both Smith's & LVE's development. He has value beyond the field.

he knows watkins contract is wasted... he is saying that NOT getting watkins was a GREAT THING.
 
I'm going to say what I got wrong:

Dak is not an average starting QB he's lower than that unfortunately.
Thought that the Flemming signing was an awesome one, but his play in the preseason was very subpar.
Thought Hurns would pace the WRs in targets, yards, and catches. WAY WRONG

Didn't think LVE would acclimate to the NFL this fast. Had low expectations his first two years.
Thought safety play would kill us, and with the exception of one game it really hasnt.

Not bad but a couple of things:

-Dez is 100% not missed. 100% no chance of that.
-I would agree that Dak is not a pocket passer per say, but if he has a clean pocket he can pass just fine
-Gregory looked good last game but has been a disappointment this year

No the safety position is absolutely horrid. You just don't always see how bad because the defense as a whole and the players around them are playing so well.

Quite frankly I think they will next year. But this year he will play and until then he's in the players ears just like Romo to Dak. He would be a good addition to the staff once cut or retires. He's proven that he studies like no other, always prepared. Can't wait for coach Lee.

how do you know he studies like no other? how do you know that Jaylon doesnt study as much? How do you know many other linebackers in the league dont study as much?

None of us are in their homes or in the film room to know exactly what any of them are or are not doing.
