Truly pathetic by the front office

[zrinkill]

I do not have a problem with them not doing anything ........ I do have a problem with them talking about doing something big and then offering a 2nd round pick for a 18 million dollar 30 year old WR.

Thank God it did not go thru.

How many of those yards were to the outside? oh and that's Damone's specialty, or should we just have given up on him as well and signed Roquin Smith for a 2nd, 5th ++ all for a couple of months.

Disagree with you here. If a long term deal could have been worked out with Smith a 2nd and a 5th for him would have been a good deal. Team him up with Clark next season as the 2 ILBS

Yep, and the biggest outcry is from the element of the fanbase that thinks football starts with the QB and DE and doesnt appreciate what and how the influence of the trenches.

great point. Every year, what do we see? The teams that go far are the teams that have a good line and dline, without fail. They impose their will in the trenches. Football has always been that way...PHYSICALITY up front. Can't win without it. Thats why we did the Hankins deal. He gives us that element and helps the youngsters like big Bo and OSA,Neville. That 1 move helped the entire front 7. Free's them u and allows the linebackers to better fill.My hunch is he can teach the guys how to be better as well. Gives us another vet presence Lastly, look at the famed legion of boom in Seattle in the day. They get the hoopla, but really what heled them was the dline. They were big nasty, physical with Michael Bennett, Red Bryant etc. Then San Fran last year.We are trying to do the same here with DQ.It was a smart trade. Much needed.

Every single team who is contention, and some not, made moves. But the cowboys and all its infinite wisdom, stayed pat.

Awful

You want them to overpay for a #2 receiver who is making 18 million a season in 2023?

On Sunday Dak went back to what he's comfortable doing, using his whole receiving corp, especially TE's. I always feel he's more comfortable having the dial out play to a receiver he trusts (as opposed to the play designed receiver).

With Dak (IMHO) I think an out and out no.1 WR (or costly receiver) is a waste.

I agree, but my comment is about Smith

...yep so many fans that see LVE (or other LB'S) blocked by some 310 O-linesman who's getting into the 2nd level ....and claim the issue is at LB.

As you say everything's facilitated by the 2 lines, if they succeed everyone else can do their jobs.

Oh yea, soz, ....problem with Smith is that we've got Micah, Damone, possibly Cox and we like our hybrid SS packages. Moving forward that's a lot of capital spent on the LB corp.

A lot of our LB problem is the fact that LVE and Barr are getting manhandled by O-line. Hence Hankins. there to stop that and allow the vets to play.

For a team with plenty of CAP and an overriding need at LB then Smith is a great get.....just not us.

You're right, we just couldn't afford him

 

[EST_1986]

Well it hasn't improved yet.

The defense did give up 240 rushing yards against the Bears.

Dude was in the building for like 74 hours, let the man acclimated to the team and scheme first

 

[big dog cowboy]

Do your homework.

 

[rambo2]

Don't play dumb guy. Chase Claypool, Rowan Smith were there to be traded for, but we weren't interested. Either would have helped the team. So there you go.

The Cowboys would have had to give up their 1st round pick to beat what the Bears gave up for Claypool. Are you out of your mind? Why would the Cowboys trade draft capital for Smith when they just added Clark at linebacker and still have Barr. Smith will be a free agent.

Whatever. If it's an overpay, so be it. You have a potential legendary defense, but you are also in a very tight division. If I had to send. 2nd and another pick for Claypool, fine. Of it's a 2nd a 5th and a player for Smith, I don't look back. Jerry said he is a gambler. Maybe Stephen not so much?[/QUOTE]
I really don't see Claypool making a big difference...at least not worth that price. Besides, we're just now seeing the offense with Dak under center and Moore seemingly more willing to call running plays, so we aren't even sure we need to bolster the WR position. If we do, maybe they'll go get ODB...I mean OBJ.

Plus they already have Washington being available and can add OBJ if they want to do so and keep all of their draft capital. They are already at the top of the NFC and can even be better next year.

They did nothing to help this club.......................NOTHING! The only way they can help this club is sign someone who is sitting at home....................
