Top five things that will go according to plan

[Tangle_Foot]

1. Dak moves up six spots from 15th to 9th rated quarterback.
2. Travis Frederick makes the Pro Bowl.
3. Elliott wins his third rushing title.
4. Lawrence and Quinn both register double-digit sacks.
5. Byron Jones and Xavier Woods will have 5 ints a piece.

We are 9 days away from the start of training camp, time to start thinking about what will go right, instead of wrong

How about

Oline back to top 5 unit
Dak and Gallup develop great chemistry.
Defense gets 10 more turnovers than it did last year
Zeke wins rushing title .
Kellen Moore out coaches someone in playoffs and we get to NFC Champ Game

#5 is the biggest stretch IMO.

 

[GenoT]

1) Kellen Moore makes a difference in the game-planning and play-calling, which leads to...
2) Dak improving his game and showing that he deserves the inevitable mega-paycheck
3) Kris Richard finds a way to make our secondary excel
4) The O-line has its best season yet as a unit
5) Witten lights a fire under the butts of Jarwin and Schultz

I agree on the top 4. But #5 there is not a snow balls chance in hell.

LOL as I was absolutely thinking the same thing!

Diddo!

Remember when we actually had INT's? It's been a long time...

Any improvement in #1 will probably make #2 look to be true. If Dak truly improves his game on top of #1, then you've got something.

3 - they were pretty stout last year. another year of development should yield improvement. but need those turnovers.

4 - Again, #1 could go a long way toward not putting so much pressure on the Oline. Could have the same level of play but appear much better.

5 - As long as he lights a fire under them and yields playing time for them to perform, I'm ok with it.

#2 blows. You should never plan towards a pro bowl. Does anyone on the Patriots roster desire to make it to pro bowl games? No, they work towards making it to the other game a week later. Playing in the pro bowl is for losers, and thats how all Cowboys fans should view it.

 

[McKDaddy]

#1 - Dallas becomes a 21st century offense. Capable of consistently picking up big chunks of yardage thru the air while not being predictable.

that happens & ya gotta like our chances.

Do you remember the days when our secondary was called "Thurman's Thieves"? We used to get tons of INT's during the Dennis Thurman and Everson Walls' days!! Unfortunately, I'm old enough to remember!! LOL

Dallas comes to their senses and gives Zeke the contract he’s earned.

Agree, as I always try to look at it this way. But this is the wrong place to ask people to do this.

But great effort, need to try.

1. Best roster in football. This season rests solely on Dak.
2. I just hope he plays at this point, which still isn't a certainty.
3. Of course. He'll get almost 100 more carries than any other back.
4. Sack totals are iffy these days for edge guys with QBs now getting rid of the ball in less than 2-3 seconds.
5. Jones couldn't get 5 if you threw them right to him and told him it was coming. Xavier could.

 

[jazzcat22]

1. The networks will finally respect Dallas...ok, that is a dream..
2. Taco will be 3rd on the team in sacks, unless Gregory returns, then he will be 4th. he will have 7 or 5 depending. Maybe that should be a bold prediction.
3. Garrett finally gets credit from the teams own fans for clapping, because it will be from great plays.
4. Byron Jones will be 3rd in the NFL for INT's
5. We will the SB.

 

[stiletto]

Yeah #5 ain't happenin'...neither of those guys are ball-hawk type players. Jeff Heath has a better chance at 5 picks because that's probably the only decent thing he does is make an interception here and there. Usually with luck and not skill.

If all of this happens, we will be in Miami. Unless Garrett messes it up, which he probably will.

 

[IndianaCowboys1994]

Here is mine
1) Dak Prescott will be a for sure no doubt top 10 QB
2) Zeke wins his third rushing title
3) Randall Cobb will get serious Pro-Bowl consideration.
4) Our best rookies will be Joe and Mike Jackson.
5) Jaylon Smith will be an All-Pro linebacker

 

[nobody]

1) Jerry will make lots of money
2) Jerry will have plenty of alcohol in his box and will never run out
3) No matter what else happens in the league, the Cowboys will be who everyone is talking about
4) Either Garrett gets a scapegoat in a rookie OC, or Moore will be the new genius that Jerry "discovered"
5) No matter what, at least the defense should be fun to watch.
