What Bold Move Should Jerry Jones And The Cowboys Make?

Very pleased with the Linehan and Pope additions. I think it is very noticeable how well the TEs not named Escobar are doing very well blocking. Witten is more aggressive than I have ever seen him and Hanna looks like a different player. Linehan has done a good job of tweaking things here and there, plus adjusting to what is happening in the game rather than panicking to the pass if things are not exactly going well.

FWIW Broaddus had a tweet about a week ago on John Garrett being the one who ran off Marty B. Not that he was ever going to amount to anything here. I think it was more about the upgrade in the TE coach position. Broaddus has never been a big Garrett proponent to start with.

John Garrett was a nepotistic hire. Very happy he is no longer around. That robotic high and tight Martellus coupled with heavy breathing was hard to watch. No wonder Bennett never responded. Meanwhile, Pope had the same player producing.

The boldest move that Jerry can do right now is NO moves.

This is the process and should be continued as such. Any move right now would probably be a distraction.

And why again are we listening to Faulk?

Isnt he the same guy that said we would not score a single TD against the Saints?


Yea, lets listen to his expert analysis......................LOL

The only thing I'm concerned with is resigning Dez and DeMarco. They MUST resign those guys this offseason.

Dez and McClain to resign. DeMarco only if reasonable. Keep rebuilding the trenches and keep running the ball.

Didn't Bennett want to leave in order to get more touches, rather that get run off? Either way, if John Garrett ran him off, that's fine with me. It took me all of one Hard Knocks episode to come to the conclusion that that was a guy who'd look better in another color uniform. Bennett's one of the few Cowboys in the Garrett era that we've brought on board that I just didn't like at all.

4 games? Murray was among the best backs in the league last year with 1100 yards rushing and over 50 receptions. That was on a team that clearly did not commit enough to the run. He's established himself as one of the best and most complete backs in the game

I was talking about Jason Garrett.

Callahan and Marinelli's contract end this year... I'm just saying... Without them, what is Garrett going to do? Linehan also walked into a great OL building routine...

He came as a TE coach and was given the passing-game coordinator duties his last year. And you wonder why our WRs were never getting open...

He came in as TE coach in 2007 and became the passing game coordinator in 2011. Do you not think coaches can learn a thing or two over 5 years?

And we sucked with our third and long, no play-action, WR can't get open, always looking for excuses by adding a new WR offense...

And he got released the next year and ended up as the WR coach at Tampa Bay. And Ogletree was his pet project and this offense was trying to feed him the ball.

So yeah, he could have but he clearly didn't.
