As exciting as it is to watch Christian Parker waltz in and try to duct-tape together a defense, we are still staring at potential black holes at inside linebacker and cornerback depth. We need one big fast injury-free guy who can actually stop the run instead of parting the Red Sea every time a halfback touches the ball, and another who can keep up with a receiver running a deep route without appearing on ESPN highlight videos.
Pittsburgh fans look at Broderick Jones and laugh, because he's essentially our version of Terence Steele and Tyler Guyton on their absolute worst Sundays. And let's be honest with ourselves: we have zero actual proof that either Steele or Guyton figured out how to block a stationary traffic cone over the offseason. Right now, our depth at swing tackle is so terrifyingly thin, Dak should sign a waiver to play.
Milton was never the answer, and Howell sure as hell isn't either. If you want a franchise quarterback, go draft one in the first round like a normal organization, because Jerry has proven time and time again he couldn't find a project quarterback if one bit him on the ***. Romo only survived because Quincy Carter was too busy hot-boxing cars, and Dak—while drafted to eventually sit behind Romo—caught lightning in a bottle so fast nobody saw it coming, least of all the front office.
The Cowboys are so thoroughly lost at building a defense that every single time a new Coach like Bill Parcells, Dan Quinn, or now Christian Parker comes to town with a grocery list, the fan base loses its collective mind. We act like we're building a dynasty when we're really just bailing water out of a sinking ship built by Jerry, a man who still somehow hasn't figured out how to field an offense and a defense at the exact same time in the salary cap era.

Here’s what I actually know:
- We actually have a pretty damn good defensive line for a 3-4.
- We have more depth at safety than we've had in years.
- We have two of the best damn receivers in the entire league.
- We have a dominant interior offensive line.
- We have young coaches who will put in the hundred-hour weeks and actually know how to talk to players without sounding like their accountants.
