I would like to start with some good news. It appears Guyton has looked very good at LT so it looks like our good evaluations on the OL continue.
That's true, it will be different... this team won't hit 12 wins again...
I kid, I kid, but seriously, we're a season away from possibly some MAJOR overhauling of this team, so, surprise us already would ya Dallas?

Other young guys that are having a good camp
D Overshown
Marist Liufau
Beebe has been good but may not start
Tolbert seems to be having a really good camp
Dowdle has been good
Schoonmaker is battling nagging injuries. Is there a possiblity he doesn't make the team? Dallas has several really interesting young TEs (Stephens, Hendershot, Ferg, Fant, and remember the name Brevyn Spann-Ford.

Thanks Mac... the rest of us were cowards beaten into submission, unworthy of starting this years thread!!!!
But I will say this..... the camp hype is real once again this year and I'm starting to slowly come around on the 2024 version of the Cowboys:

The Bad:

But I will say this..... the camp hype is real once again this year and I'm starting to slowly come around on the 2024 version of the Cowboys:
The Good:
- Zimmer's defense has the potential to be very good at CB, LB, DE. The main ingredients for a killer D.
- Dak & the WR (which includes Fergy) look sharp. Should be more than fine IF we can get CD happy and back on the field.
- O-line looks like it could be OK or possibly even an improvement with a couple new faces in the mix.
- Rookies look good. Guyton may be ready to be our starting LT... Kneeland looks the part at DE (more D-Law type guy than a pure pass rusher)... and Liufau is already plugged into the starting LB mix.
The Bad:
- DT still sucks. 6+ years now and counting... it once again might not matter how good the rest of our defense is if our interior can't hold the line.
- Sam Williams injury really hurts. You can never have enough guys who can rush the passer.
The Ugly:
- Green Bay & SF are still our daddy's until proven otherwise and other teams like the Lions are on the rise. It's going to be a fight just to make the playoffs.
Good point on Kneeland. Looks like a great find.
Yeah, DT is still a problem. I've seen some reports that Mazi is better and making progress but still not where they need him to be.
I guess we just have to trust that Zim can work some magic there.

From what little I've listened to, it sounds like they are forcing Mazi into the starting role. They are regularly on his ass at camp but they are also constantly coaching the kid.
You still hear the same things... the guy is as strong and physical as they come, there is no reason why he can't get the job done. Here's hoping the coaches can flip the switch in this guys brain!

Agree. It's really strange. Dude is a physical freak, but for what ever reason, it hasn't clicked.
I wonder if McCarthy will fully utilize Turpin this year? He definitely got more use last year, but still feels like he can do things nobody else on the team can and we need to find a way to make it happen.
I'm wondering if it's just taking time for the guy to figure out how to really play WR in the NFL, he certainly wouldn't be the first to struggle with it.

As a Cowboys fan, I hope we lose Lamb. We don't deserve the guy.

Yeah, he also took off "America's Team" from his bio

Why can't Jerry just pay his guys? This is something I will never understand. CeeDee will be getting $35m + per season from someone - might as well be the team that bestowed upon him the "88" honor...
Also, pleasant surprised by the reports of Liufau being great in camp. We will need to see him in action in the preseason, but so far it seems like that "head scratcher" pick might be a decent one.
Here's the thing. Jerry just loves to talk and say ***** There's no meaning behind any of it.
He will pay CD and this will all get done.
BTW, CDs agent has been at the Olympics all week so not sure how much could have been done this week anyway.

You guys obviously didn't hear everything Jerry said. This quote was taken out of context. Jerry was referring to CeeDee being ready for the season with little camp and preseason action.
Good sign for Mazi.
You know, it's possible that Mazi has made more progress than we think but going against two all pro guys like Martin and Smith at G, hasn't quite shown his progress. Let's hope….

Beebe looking good, too
Beebe’s power is real man.

So, at practice right now No Jerry, No McCarthy, No Stephen, No Will McClay and No Dak. Interesting.

Interesting CB swap. Booth has some pedigree but hasn't lived up to it in the NFL yet.

Gonna get to see our first Trey Lance action tomorrow. But if camp reports are any indication, he hasn't looked good.

Stand down, everyone. No Jerry Jones & no Dak Prescott at practice doesn’t mean a deal is close.
— David Moore (@DavidMooreDMN) August 9, 2024
Prescott has some ankle soreness & is being held out as a precaution. This was already scheduled as a veteran rest day for him.
You may now go about your day.
Welp…
Dak = Reason #1 Dallas won't win a SB
Any indication to when he retires?

Such a casual take. This organization hasn't won a SB in close to 30 years, Dak has been QB for 8 of those. Were the other 20+ years his fault too?

Don't take the bait.
Jerry knows 90,000 gonna show up at home games….. all the Cowboys have to do is be a little better than .500.
Cowboys will never do it, but 1 draft they should just focus onBassCowboy33 said:

1) DT until you find a good one or 2
2) ball hawk safety
3) backup qb
4) good field goal kicker
Seems like the above 4 areas of the team have always been terrible in both the Garrett / McCarthy eras.

It's a borderline unwatchable product tho

Cooper Rush has been exactly what Dallas needs out of a backup QB. He's gonna run the offense, throw for 200yds, 1-2 TDs, manage the game, and minimize turnovers. Basically, he's not going to sink your team's season if he has to play 3-4 games. I've never understood why Dallas seemed so eager to replace him.

1. Definitely hasn't been for a lack of not drafting. They've just been bad at evaluating and developing that position for whatever reason.
2. Not a highly regarded position in today's salary capped nfl. Cowboys safety situation is just fine.
3. Cooper Rush has been perfectly fine as a back up. I mean he's 5-1 as a starter. Way better than expected from a backup.
4. An all pro kicker isn't good enough?

No, they weren't. It was Romo's fault then, he was also pretty bad and couldn't win big games.
All signs have pointed to Jerry.
