Without Zeke, Chris Jones becomes a critical player MERGE

[HungryLion]

How do you explain the eagle's SB? Does that happen without some otherworldly influence??

Valid question.

I’ve been attributing that to Satan though.

Until the return of Zeke, expect to see a LOT of Chris Jones out there.

Since a lot of drives will be three-and-out and similar, and the Cowboys will still have one of the top 3-5 defenses in the NFL, it's imperative that Chris Jones has to have a great season doing his job, at least until/if Zeke comes back.

Agreed?

How can anyone disagree with this? They’ve showed nothing in the preseason to prove otherwise or in seasons past without Zeke. Our OC is an unproven and not that it matters but our QB coach has no track record. Your statement is dead on. Anyone who argues against it is a homer and drinks too much of the Jones koolaid.

Moore is a better OC than Linehan, but none of us lived under a rock in the heart of the 2017 regular season. Three straight games without Zeke, the Cowboys scored in single digits for the whole game. 7, 9, and 6..... total stinkers. Two of those were at home. With the OL starting the season already somewhat banged up, a bottom-15 starting QB in tow, iffiness at TE and albeit a solid (upper half) receiving corps, the offense will struggle to move the ball and score.

I agree with all but Moore is a better OC. I hope he is but we have no way of knowing yet. I still say the offense has been dumbed down for Dak since he’s been here. Teams know his strengths now. He will not adapt. What you see is what you get.

 

[morat1959]

If they lose to the Gnats...eggs on this entire organization and fan base for overblown roster analysis and lack of a real coach.

Business as usual. It’s the Jones way.

Mmm... Jerry himself said he made some deals during the 90's run.
Said he wish he could make them again.


Can't resell your soul apparently.

 

[morat1959]

We don't need Zeke from what I am reading on this board.

Lol

Lol

 

[Corso]

If no Zeke... then deal. And 20 exactly and I stay and you honor me. Anything more and I leave for a month

Leave for 5 years and I'll take that one.
Honoring you would be funny. I've already got my Roast ready.

sounds good

 

[Beaker42]

Stop dude. If there is extra terrestrial life, they would be way way waaaaaaaaaaay smarter than Altestic.

LMAO. Eagles fan are the best. Or worst. I can’t decide.

 

[Beaker42]

Jaylon Vander Esch?

This guy is soooooo entertaining. He’s gotta stay.

Lol! Pollards 4.38 speed, Cooper, Gallup, Cobb, Austin, Smith, Jarwin...all are laughing at you for insulting their impact.

 

[QuincyCarterEra]

In the seven games without Zeke in 2017, and end of 2018 the Cowboys punted:
3 times
5
5
5
4
2
3

For an average of a little less than 4 punts per game. 3.86 ppg to be almost exact

In 2017 Chris Jones averaged 4.125 points per game. So I guess he becomes less of a critical player without Zeke in the lineup.

No troll.

 

[JJHLH1]

And we won the last 4 of those games.

 

[QuincyCarterEra]

Want to include both 2017 and 2018?

Jones has averaged 4.22 punts per game.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Cowboys and Eagles both rock.

Cowboys LBs >>>>>>>> Eagles LBs

But Pederson and Wentz >>>>> Garrett and Prescott. Anything else is laughable.

Wentz DOESN'T do one thing better than Dak. Unless always being injured and choking in 4th quarters is great by your standards.

 

[DandyDon52]

So... should we go with "ewok boy", or "feed me boy"? Or "great one"?
I'd like this consolidated for simplicity's sake.

Well he is referred to under about 10 names!
I think elliott would prefer "great one". I kinda like "feed me boy"

Because Nick Foles wasn't an Eagle long enough to, you know, really become an Eagle.
