CFZ Training Camp Predictions

[xwalker]

I’m not a big fan of TC only because the hype far exceeds reality. But it’s football and I’m glad to see that oblong pigskin return for a hopefully great 2023 Cowboys season. For those of you who do enjoy training camp and pre-season games, more power to you. I just don’t get too excited until the real games begin. But I respect those who do enjoy.

Here are my predictions for 2023 Cowboys TC, some tongue-in-cheek of course, some serious.

• Jerry will get choked up tomorrow at some point along with setting a new world record for number of “uhs” spoken during his annual “State of the Cowboys” presser (time waste). And Stephen will giggle a lot.
• Several guys who will probably never play a meaningful down of NFL football will be raved about as “having a great camp” by beat writers, Jerry and a few coaches and players. Then get cut in early Sept.
• Deuce Vaughn will impress at TC, make some big plays in pre-season games, and become an actual legit offensive weapon during the regular season.
• Jalen Tolbert will look better than last year, make the team but remain buried in the depth chart.
• Mazi Smith will start slow. But by mid-season he will be playing 80% of the defensive snaps.
• The offense will look sluggish at first. Fans will overreact. Patience required.
• The Cowboys will lose the first PS game. It has become an annual event. Doesn’t matter anyway. We haven’t won a pre-season game opener since 2017, lol. And it means nothing anyway!
• Fans will waaaaaaaay overreact to what they see in PS games. (PS games rarely indicate much of anything regarding how the team will perform when it matters)
• This is a guarantee: We will see very plain vanilla offense and defense during ps games. Because teams don’t game plan and want to hide what they really want to do when it matters.

If you enjoy TC and pre-season games, I respect that. I hope you can equally understand why I care so little. Other than learning what some of our rookies and backups can do, most of what this team will be will remain hidden until the live bullets begin flying on Sun night, Sept. 10th in New York. For that, I will be genuinely excited.

Prediction: It will finally be revealed that Rowdy and Bobhaze are the same person.

And this is why they have been what they have been.
They always spew about improving the roster….except at QB … no I am not knocking Dak…..

The roster is very good at qb. Nothing wrong with Rush and Grier.

So, if there are many fans that say they do not like PS games and can care less about TC.
Why are they here posting about it, just to tell us they don't like it?

Why waste your time and ours telling us you don't like it?

Jazzcat: It's the same with the Senior Bowl, the Combine, late-round draft picks + UDFAs, OTAs, comparisons of past seasons' teams and players' accompishments, and current team/player rankings by sports media.
Many members just cannot resist delving into the Cowboys Zone on a regular basis to post their 2 cents on every topic they CLAIM not to care about.
Other than the free agency period and the draft, these fans could just refrain from logging in on a daily-weekly-monthly basis until the actual regular season starts...like probably 2/3rds to 70% of Cowboys Fans around the world do every year.
Exceptions:
1) Blockbuster trades;
2) When a notable former player or coach for the Cowboys, or in the NFL, passes away.

Did not say it wasn’t, but still need more competition. What makes them get better if no one is pushing them.
Well I did say something about Grier but only to imply that he needed competition.

Don’t be naive to the fact just because they say these are the 3 that means they could not try to improve.
And no, I am not being naive by thinking they aren’t the best options.

I think it’s more because we we’re at a dead part of the season, but about to start into training camp so it’s a good topic to talk about

For 3rd string QB. Come on, you know that.
I am not being negative about it all, just want some competition in there.

Have to agree with jazz. They need another quarterback in there.
