We're not where we need to be

[Rockport]

MM was asked about the lack of a running game and the inability to stop the run. ”We’re not where we need to be.” I wish he would’ve said we suck at both and will prioritize fixing that.

My fear is Jerry pours a ton of assets or a high pick into a TB like he did with Elliott, which resulted in not much for this franchise.

Fix the run game by replacing the OL coach, changing up your scheme, maybe look to upgrade center and get a good rotation of backs in here that likely won't cost you much (a good FA back coupled with a mid round pick, Dowdle is fine as a 3rd TB).

Sounds like a coaching issue

 

[Praxit]

....ridding of DQ would be first positive step. We need fresh eyes and mind on defensive side of ball.

I don’t think they’ll go RB in the first round. At least I hope not. They need to fix the OL, DL, LB first. It’s going to be interesting to see how they address the deficiencies.

Does this guy ever have anything positive to say about this team?

He quit 2 months ago

Totally agree. If DQ comes back…….

First, Jerry Jones and Mike McCarthy need to solve the DC problem...



(the rest of talk on site is merely blame it on the Joneses, blame it on the Joneses, make love to a Damsel............and blame it on the Joneses.

I think they have to go RB in FA and then come back with one in the draft in the middle to later rounds. Problem is they don't have a 4th round pick right now and that looks like an interesting round for some TBs.

Getting Henry as a free agent would put some juice back into the conversation.

 

[glimmerman]

At least we know they need to work on it. Draft and FA moves will be O-Line and DT and LB. With a side of RB..

How are yo going to afford Dak, Cee Dee, Micah and Henry with knowing your all pro LG needs a new contract the next year? Decisions have to be made, can't have them all.

Yeah, it’s tough wading through all the negativity. I get it though.

Easy. Some players will leave in free agency, some will get extended and some will be restructured. The Cowboys have the 2nd youngest team in the NFL so a lot of players on their 1st contracts. The salary cap goes up every year as well.

I don't condone flagrant dumb arses...I don't support Uvalde excuses for courage as well.

The title of this thread should be next season's mantra. Put it on a t-shirt.

Honestly nothing about this team is interesting to me If they bring back dak and mm and dq...in fact it's about as boring and uninteresting as I could imagine

What's his cost?

I am not tying up tens of millions and multiple years in a TB. That's dumb.

EDIT: Spotrac likes to project contracts, they have Henry at 2 years, around $8MM total. I think I could live with that.

I'd tweak it to "Never where we need to be"

Cheaply, both Pollard and Henry would fix the running production.
