Yes. You are right. FA never helps a team close to contending fill a key hole. Like how adding Ware didn't help Denver.

But I get it. You are in full blown excuse mode now.

And no, I don't think the D has the pieces. They have no real safeties and are counting on Wood to eventually seize a spot. They might have a MLB issue if Smith can't improve. They lack a dominant 1 tech. And even with Lawrence they aren't a consistent pass rushing threat. Their best defender is over 30 in Lee and probably won't be as good 3 years from now when the D finally might be competed.

Oh and they have an average DC.

But other than that, the D is awesome.

I'm in excuse mode but you're using the excuse of them not spending money on free agents is why they suck lol........but i'm making excuses?

Well it’s a combination. We’re at the point where a huge FA signing or 2 could catapult us near the top. It needs to be defensively.

I'm not against bringing in a big time free agent......but who are these guys you want? You guys are playing armchair GM and talking about what we should get but aren't bringing up any solutions......

LAwrence has been injured and suspended here as well. Don't get me wrong........i'd take him on my team but i'd be more interested in finding a linebacker or a situational pass rusher. Not sure if spending max money on Ansah is the smart way to invest in this defense.
What else are you going to spend 35 million on? I’m sick of dumpster diving. Martin isn’t even a FA yet so I don’t buy the zach Martin crap. Bottom line is if we’re serious about winning now we aren’t waiting anymore. I’ve waited 20+ years I’m tired of this crap.

I don't know what they are going to spend the money on but they have a few guys who will be needing contracts soon.

Dez 13 targets, 5 receptions, accounted for half the incompetions Dak threw. At what point do they stop forcing the ball to him?
At least 2 drops were in his hands.

They should give up quit throwing him the ball. Then if defenses quit using their top CB on him maybe go back to him on occasion.

The offensive flow was maybe the best last season in the games he missed.

You tried to showcase your football knowledge by bringing up you know what this team was in 2007 but you couldn't even get one of the coaches name right. And it was only 10 years ago......not really sure what your point was?

The point was you need to work on your reading comprehension skills. I clearly stated on my first post that JG's offense was in full effect after Sparano left in 2008 yet you point out how great 2007 was for Romo. Clearly you didn't even read my post. And you want to talk about spelling typos? You should work on your reading comprehension skills before pointing out other's typos.

LOL.

When you typed this, did you do it with a straight face?

I said Ezekiel Ansah and I’d go after Morgan Burnett at SS. 2 sure starters that know GB’s scheme whom by the way have knocked us out of divisional round twice in 3 years :mad: you do that and draft :
1.WR
2.LB
3.OL

And it’s gravy

What does reading comprehension have to do with spelling typos lol? Yikes..........

Are you sure its my reading comprehension or your lack of a point? Go back and read how all this started then get back to me about reading comprehension.......

It was a combined poor execution. I'd prefer JJ brought in Jeff Fisher to turn this around.

That's for next year...you guys were saying we don't do well in free agency but personally I don't recall too many guys being out there this offseason.....especially a pass rusher.

What does spelling typo of a not so common name have to do with football? I guess you have to resort to pointing out the typos since you can't talk about football.

We didn’t have money this year. I don’t blame them with the exception of church. I think he got a reasonable deal we could’ve matched. We took his run support and discipline in assignments for granted. I think the jags gave him 4 years 24 million... I think I would’ve matched that. I mean we gave Heath 4 years 14 million I think church is double if not triple the player Heath is.

I wasn't pointing out typos....you attempted to discredit me by assuming I wasn't following this team in 2007...but by doing so I pointed out you spelled Sparano's name wrong....why are you in your feelings about that? It's not that serious goodness....

So you don't think they suck because of their lack of free agent signings?

They stink on D for a variety of reasons. The fact you choose to ignore what I said is on you.

Not using FA wisely to fill a key hole is just one problem the defense has.

Once again...what free agents would've improved this defense this offseason?
