Yin and yang of the Cowboys

[GimmeTheBall!]

Dear mens and womans I come to address the yin and yang of the Cowboys, our heroes, who are on a team with a GREAT (Tony the Tiger echo chamber effect) OFFENSE and a defense that is best described asa group of journeymens, never-weres and potential stars who half never showed their greatness.

before any one of you college educated peoples say "But gimme, big-brained dweller of the Farmers Branch llano and occasional fire-breather and a damned good cook, yin and yang is opposite but complimentary!"
I say unto ewe that is where the yin and yang of this team do not meet.
As you know we half two units that are light yarns away from being the same in talent.

do any of you peoples recall when the Cowboys or any other team half had this much disparity between the units? And half succeeded? I recall some teams with great offenses but lousy defense but that might half been the Canadian Football Leak or the old AFL-CIA.

I do not recall such disparity.

and let me tell ewe, boy howdy, i half sleepness nights at the shelter thinking of how far the 'Boys could go if we half a descent defense. Such a waste i know you will concur.
Holla!

Let me try...Our offense is a huge strength and our defense a huge weakness. Do teams with such disparity between the two units ever achieve real success? The difference between what I wrote and what he wrote is that I'm not nearly as eloquent a writer and not nearly as well-versed in prose and poetry as my friend, Gimme.

I suspect Gimme is a Highland Park resident whose therapist makes him do this to relate better to the rest of us.

Like your post, in short Offense so much better than Defense that Cowboys have to improve defense to win Super Bowl. That's it in nut shell eh ?

Nein! I am a workaday lout like the rest of you. I half worked in cubacles, meat markets in the time of meat supply, and once carried lamb carcasses from the warehouse to the cold-storage truck. man it was cold except when it wasn't. Once I went to Highland Park but the "average man" alarm sounded and they chased me back southward.

Sort of unrelated but I don't feel like starting another thread...

We're in an interesting position because 1) we've done so well in the draft lately that we're in a position to build a young team for the future, and 2) we have an elite QB in the final years of his career so we know we need to make an attempt to win now.

Pending what they do at the RB position, the offense is set for the remainder of Romo's career and many years after that. The O-line's future is extremely bright, we have a slew of talented young WRs, we have other talented skill position players. Sure, Witten's candle will burn out soon (probably before Romo's) but we'll find a place for him and we'll likely start to see Escobar take over the majority of snaps. And, as I said, RB is still a question mark. With the O-line though, I'm not too concerned about the position.

That brings us to the defense. I think the Sean Lee situation is extremely interesting. Here's a guy who was possibly the best player on the defense even when he was playing alongside a future HOFer Demarcus Ware in his prime. That's how good Sean Lee was/is. Unfortunately, as soon as he hit his prime about 3 years ago, he's been constantly sidelined by injuries. In the past 48 games (not including playoffs), he's played in 16. That's 1 of the past 3 seasons combined. In the past 32 games, he's played in 6. Now, there are a lot of IFs surrounding Lee. But let's say all the IFs work out in our favor: 1) IF Sean Lee ever plays again, 2) IF he goes back to playing like he was before all the injuries, 3) and IF he never has another injury again... Even if all those things happen, he's almost 30. By what age do superstar defensive players start to lose their edge and get replaced by young players? 32-33? That means even if all those things happen, we'll still be looking to get rid of him in about 3 years. Fortunately, that's about the same time we'll be looking to replace Romo.

The rest of the defense is a matter of talent and not age. The defense is extremely young. Even if we bring back McClain and Carter at LB, they'll be good players for longer than Romo will be in the league. The issue is finding talent though. We have a lot of young question marks: Crawford, Lawrence, Hitchens. But we really need bonafide star players. Will we find immediate contributors in the draft? Will we have to look toward free agency? I think these questions are tough to answer since we're in an interesting position. If we look toward the draft, those players might not reach their prime until Romo is done, and then our Super Bowl chances might be done too. But if we go heavy in free agency, we might have a dark future for a long time in a few short years after Romo is done.
