Last year was an outlier. Here is the reality that is clear. This was an 8-8, 9-7 best team if healthy
Coaching is terrible. No way they should have lost 7 in a row. Garrett on notice in 2016
Romo is old and brittle. He should have stayed out the year
Losing Murray, Callahan and relying on Randle is costing them and not drafting a RB.
Pass rush is still missing. Hardy was a bad signing and I look forward to him being off the team
Dez is overrated - sorry, but true
The defense was a league leader in takeaways last year and you can't expect that to continue
The offensive line is overrated
Finally - what has been proven in the past, is proven again - If the Cowboys have any success, they falter the following year
For the rest of year, play the youngest players, give Kellen Moore a couple of starts and prepare for the draft. Hopefully some of the denial homer still finally see the reality of this year.
At this point, get a top 5 pick.
What really irritates me is that I can't revel as much in the Eagles dismal season, because we are worse!!!
Dez is overrated - sorry, but true....... yes and trying to franchise him was big mistake.
it affected him mentally, and he got out of shape, and missed camps, then hurt hamstring, so missed more, then
showed up not ready to play game 1 and hurt foot.
Dez is the type guy, that thinks he is so good all he has to do is show up and play. He doesnt have a good work ethic.
His main talent has been going up for balls , making circus catches.
And to add to that coaches dont get innovative with him, and he just lines up wide and runs the same simple routes.
He also seems to not know his hot reads, as in the miami game.
He got his money so now we are seeing the real dez.
On the int today he chose to stop and chat with defender, rather than chase down the guy running it back for a td ! lol
That says a lot right there.
has he been worth 13 mil this year??....... no and he may never be
I would rather have had murray and the 5 mil left over than dez this year.
The offensive line is overrated......... yeah I said this before season and took flac for it lol, they are good , but not great.
And some teams seem to just dominate them. Could be the no callahan effect. or lack of size.
Losing Murray, Callahan.......
this changed everything and started the whole domino effect leading to where we are now.
Cowboys had a good thing going, it worked, they had chemistry and team unity, and the jones boys decided to fix it, and'
they fixed it good !!
The defense was a league leader in takeaways last year..... someone else pointed out that 17 or 1/2 of last years takeaways
were by players jones boys let go ! They fixed the defense too !
Pass rush is still missing.........I dont know that hardy was a bad signing, but lawrence and gregory have not shown up much.
hardy cant do it all and then he has taken a beating from media.
I know at times he is doubled, so without help from other DL only so much he can do.
Scandrick........ losing this guy all year hurt in many ways.
Coaching is terrible......... yes and not just JG, I will say that JG wanted to keep murray, and keep same style offense but
jones boys felt they knew best.
ST coach needs to go, qb coach ,O line coach, rb coach, HC , really we need a whole new staff.
People say no romo needs JG, but it is JG that keeps things as they are, same offense other defenses know how to stop
or exploit .
like today, those ints were too easy for the defense, and they were not bad passes. The defenders just read it and made plays on
the ball.
On defense, in some ways marinelli is good, but I think he is stuck in the past, and we need a better dc.
I liked what Carolina is doing on defense.
The team is a reflection of the HC, and right now that reflection isnt too good.
I saw lack of hustle today from star players, and I think these guys are ok with losing and watch the tape and get better.
Last week TW caught a td pass, and went nuts ! acted like he just scored in a SB game lol that says a lot about
what is wrong too. The team is 2-7 and he is celebrating how great he is after just one td ! and Dez was right there helping him.
Bottom line is they had a good team and formula last year, but the jones boys let the wrong players go, and now
we are seeing the results of that.
plus the other issue of having weeden as bkup qb.
