Too early to focus on the NY Giants game thread

[AsthmaField]

They replaced all those starters with other starters and with a better DC

You still saying “they”? Man, everybody knows you’re an Eagles fan.

It is plain for all to see.

And Carter is replacing Hargrave? Did Hargrave play 3T for y’all?

 

[Kumbaya]

The Eagles lost a lot of starters, OC and DC. Yet they are improved from last year.

One main reason- their GM is brilliant.

Did you see all those Georgia Bulldogs he drafted too? There is a reason why Georgia won the college tournament.

Of course they say that after they were puffing their chest before the playoffs game with philly. I bet if they never matched up with Philly and got destroyed they'd claim to be favorites. They got humbled. Meanwhile we barely beat them so of course they're confident regarding us. But ibdont see how we don't stomp them. 2 rookie cbs? Dak better torch those scrubs

Based on recent history, it makes sense to put your money on a Cowboys victory. But as many witnessed, GM Schoen and HC Daboll have lifted NY up to being very respectable and competitive….except against Philly.

I’m surprised to see our 6th round draft pick play so well in camp (Hawkins) so I’m sure Dallas will test him even more than Banks, our 1st round pick. I think this means CeeDee will be covered by Adoree Jackson, our best. That should be interesting to follow. I also hope Cole Beasley is activated….I would think he would want the ball. Agree?

I've read here for months that Daniel Jones sucks, The giants offensive line is terrible and their defense is average and only has one good player.

So from what I read here all offseason you should be comfortable knowing Dallas will win by 17 or more. It will be so easy Trey Lance will probably get a few snaps in the fourth quarter.

It's funny, people act like they didn't make it just as far as we did in the playoffs last year.

The NYG will come out swinging. Will MM and Dak avoid the slow, sloppy starts that became a regular occurrence under KM?

If we start slow and let the Giants hang around, the crowd becomes a huge factor and the doubts and frustration start mounting for Dak and the offense.

Early in the season, most offenses are a bit sluggish and play favors the defense. If the Dallas D is as good as advertised, they have more than enough firepower to hold DJ and the Giants offense in check.

Great division rival game to start the season with (if a bit redundant since this always seems to be our week one opponent). I see a scrappy, hard-hitting dog fight, but the Dallas D is good. Really good.

So with the rosters almost set now.
Time to focus on the opening game.

Title says too early, but is it really. 8 days we will have the opening TNF game.

I have not paid too much attention to what the Giants have done this off season. And have seen a little of their PS games, which means nothing.

Anyone keep up on their off season moves, draft, injured players?
Focus has been if Dallas closed the gap with Philly and SF. Though I say the gap was not all that great anyway. I believe we did.

Has the NYG closed the gap on us, or did we widen it?

According to the majority of posts I have read, fans on the Giants BBI boards believe they have mostly closed the gap with us and believe that a split with us is likely. The few reasonable fans there acknowledge that a talent gap still exists between them and the Cowboys and Eagles. Many there also believe they have a top-five coaching staff, and that has the ability to make up for some talent deficiency. They fear the Eagles more than us. Many posters there are delusional.

This will be the typical Cowboys/Giants opening night nail biter. The Cowboys OL better be stout this year. It will be the unit that makes or breaks the season. The Giants have improved their defense and will be tough to move the ball against. The addition of Waller to their offense is a big boost. This one can go either way.

Micah is going to eat this first game. He's been waiting...

 

[CowboyMort]

Why are you making up posts about me? You put me in a quote that I never said.

I noticed that too. When I read his response, I looked back at the previous posts in this thread and didn't see it. Saw it yesterday with someone else as well.

[Pass2Run]

I go to the NY boards to see what they think of Dallas for a different perspective.

Their fanbase is really energized this year. The majority believe that NY has caught Dallas and a few believe they have surpassed Dallas. Only Philadelphia is ahead of them.

They believe Daboll and Schoen are the difference makers. Schoen rebuilding the roster in two years time and Daboll is seen as a top 5 coach in the NFL. The OC/DC are also considered top shelf.

The fanbase believes this is a 2nd place team 10 to 11 win team while Dallas will 3rd place between 8 and 9 wins.

This is rich.

 

[Pass2Run]

They have Jalen Carter. Teams will have to game plan for him..

Media needs to do their damn jobs on his incident.. I can't believe it. People said Joseph got off light because he was in the car. But he was just there. Carter was behind the wheel and involved in this whole thing. Yet, he got 12 months probation and a $1,000 fine.

Something is really wrong there.

Mike McCarthy provides status update on safety Donovan Wilson​

Originally posted on Pro Talk | By Nikki Chavanelle | Last updated 8/31/23


The Dallas Cowboys have less than two weeks until the start of the regular season and the status of starting safety Donovan Wilson is still up in the air. Head coach Mike McCarthy provided a brief update on Wilson during his press conference on Thursday morning, but said the team would “have more” on the subject on Monday.

Suffering a calf strain on Day 1 of training camp this offseason, Wilson’s timeline to return, roughly four-to-six weeks, puts him at risk of missing the first game of the season.

Wilson signed a three-year deal worth up to $24 million before he was due to hit the free agent market this offseason.

Drafted in the sixth round in 2019 out of Texas A&M, Wilson was previously playing on a four-year, $2.65 million rookie deal.

He led the team in tackles in 2022 with 101, a career-high for the Cowboys safety. He also had five sacks, two forced fumbles, a recovery and one interception. During Dallas’s postseason run, Wilson had an additional 20 tackles, including a tackle for loss.

I'm more worried about "opening day Dak 2022" showing up again.

..oh crap!! We have thurs day game?..lol... Didnt even know. Thought we played Sun night.

People are overrating them a bit IMO.

NYG won three of their last ten games.

I liked their draft and taking fliers on Basham and Simmons are good value plays. Coaching is great on both sides similar to Dallas structure.

Specials are terrible and along with OL doesn’t seem to be improved. Roster wise they are pretty far behind Dallas.

QB, OL, WR, DE, LB, DB Dallas is substantially better. They have elite guys at OT and DT. Depth doesn’t factor in as much week one but they have basically none anywhere.
