Well, DE everybody agrees
but I'd add a 3 DT
and another FS might be wise
I'd still get a LB'er.

then TE and RT

Hopefully the DE is about to get back on the field to get ready for week 8 with Lawrence. Recovery time was 8 to 12 weeks and we are approaching 12 weeks since the injury took place.

Why are people so obsessed with CB ? Our corners are fine . We just need to build out DL .

Corner #@$@#s.

They've lived through it. They had no impact. Yet they want to keep adding more.

Get down with the sickness.

When the Cowboys make a concerted effort to rebuild the front seven you'll see a vast improvement in the defense. Whether it's 4-3 or 3-4. Rod Marinelli or a mere mortal. They need everything. DEs, DTs, LBs too, considering you can't count on any of the three best players; Lee, Carter or McClain.

While we aren't generating sacks, we are making the QB uncomfortable, which is very important. Brees heard footsteps many times last night, causing some of his passes to be hurried and off target. I am pleased with them through 4 weeks.

1. Powerful 1 tech that can collapse the pocket.
2. Left DE to groom with DLAW and above 1 Tech.
3. Young QB
4. Young stud RT, LEAVE MARTIN NEXT TO FREDBEARD.
5. Move Moore to FS.

I want a corner for depth but don't need a "shutdown" corner or more two picks for one nonsense.

We need edge rushing so bad it is not even funny.

It would seem that what is missing from the grocery list is:

A cornerback
A pass rush

think the question will surface about how they address the positions....will they sign or franchise Dez/Murray and not a go after a big time FA pass rusher like Suh? or will they sign there own players and live and die through the draft..... which is more important Def or Off at this point?

I feel like the defensive line is getting some pressure. They aren't getting sacks, but they're making the opposing QB at least move around a little. Having said that, it's probably our number 1 priority next year as is some secondary help.

I would rather have consistent pressure which we had most of the time. Brees just gets the ball out so fast. But most of his passes were short which means the pressure was there. Just not the sacks.

We still need a lot
Especially on the defensive side of the ball. Church is serviceable but we need a playmaking ball hawk playing next to him.
Anywhere along the front 7 on defense and a stud rt tackle

I would take Suh from Lions now. When is trade deadline?

I'd try to make a baseball-like, pennant-run, trade like acquiring Charles Woodson from the hapless Raiders. His $1.15M base salary is not that bad and he'd help out at Free Safety. His leadership and experience wouldn't hurt either.

DE, RT, S, DT, LB. Getting pretty solid corner play considering the banged up front 7.I'm getting a broner for this Moore kid. He's a smart player. I think he might turn out to be quite the CB.

5. Move Moore to FS.

This is the dumbest thing I've read all year. This isn't video games where you move a guy and he goes from an 84 overall to an 81 overall and can still play. The positions are different. And Wilcox is fine for now. 2nd year player. You guys want to cut everyone (including Scandrick once upon a time) without letting young players develop.

We're doing well, 3-1, improving each week and everyone wants to bail on a kid? Let Jerome Henderson work with him. Jesus.
