While it's fun to think about. The Cowboys can't afford to pay Adams' contract, nor Tyreek Hill's.

As far as additions with the defense goes, I just don't see many options. Reddick? Sure you could do that but you'd have to sign in to a long term deal in order to get him.

One of the great things about the Giants game was Mazi and Overshown were great. If, and it's a big if, they can continue that kind of play the homegrown talent we'll fix itself.

This team's identity has and will always be its passing game. We need to bolster that. Amari Cooper is the obvious choice imo.

I just don't know who's out there and available that's really going to help us. What we need on defense are some of the most valuable positions in football that teams more or less hold onto.

Exactly, so if we can't trade for or sign someone on D that can immediately help, we will need to outscore teams.
No matter what!

Cooks now out with an infection in his knee.

The time to make a move is now Jerry or this season is toast.

This team ain't tanking with Dak, Ceedee and McCarthy on his last leg. May as well go "all-in"

So far their version of all in is tanking.

2-2 is tanking? If so they're terrible at it.

Maybe Jerry meant all in FOR THE DRAFT?

You know what I mean. Glaring holes on the roster and standing pat in FA. Now with key injuries to guys on defense it will get rougher. McCarthy is dead man walking now.

I'm actually interested to see how this defense plays without Parsons and DLaw. Probably going to be ugly, but we'll see. A future without both may not be too far away

I've been of the mindset this was the plan all off season. But then he signed Dak.

Interesting new stat that PFF is tracking. 47.78% of drop backs so far this year without motion, play action, quick passing options, RPOs, or screens. Last year it was 28.17% which would certainly explain why the play calling this year has been so frustrating compared to previous years

I don't think all hope is lost just yet. Yeah, they went into the season really banking on a bunch of young guys. And on defense it's also a different system to learn for everyone.

I thought I saw a defense playing MUCH harder last week. That could just be guys finally understanding what to do. Mazi played well. Overshown looks like a difference maker. I thought Kneeland looked really stout at DE. We will see how this goes. It's a long season.

That's a function of a **** running game and playing from so far behind in 2 games. Play action is useless. Many times motion is used to set up run blocking or some eye candy to help the run. When you are way behind, neither matters + why waste time on useless motion.

Makes too much sense. Hard pass [/JJ]

Eerily similar stats to Mike Evans. Same age. Same years in the league. Similar TD and yards. Evans higher YPC, more consistent yardage.
94chem,
That, sir, was the greatest post in the history of TexAgs. I salute you. -- Dough

It's absolutely about the money. This graphic is nice and all but it fails to point out his $44.1M cap hit in '25 and '26.

Because motion can help the QB figure out if it's man/zone pre-snap.

Adams is 31. Just how long do you want to sign him for? If you were all in for this year, it's a great investment, but it's obvious Jerry is definitely not, all in.

And he's a cry baby. He and Lamb together?

Remember when the Cowboys ran a very similar play to what Kirk Cousins just did, and the refs just screwed us.

Early draft projection:

14. Dallas Cowboys Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

That's right, nerds. Running backs are back. Embrace it. The Cowboys take another trip to the first-round RB well and come away with the nation's most productive back through the first portion of the season. Jeanty has 180 more yards than the second-place rusher in the country and is currently averaging 10.3 yards per carry and that includes a 192-yard, three-touchdown performance against Oregon.

I know there's a lot of debate about using a 1st on a RB but if he's elite like a Biljan or Zeke he could make a huge impact right away. Ride him 4-5 years on a rookie deal while Dak and CeeDee are on their big deals and see what happens.

He did put up 192 yards against Oregon so I am down with this pick if no generational talent at DT isn't available

We also should be set on the o-line for the foreseeable future, so there's no reason for us to use a picks on that position. I would focus on getting offensive weapons and literally anyone in the defensive front 7.

Here's the thing though, not all first round picks are created equal.

Also, Bijan has not been elite.


If the Cowboys have a decent year and are picking in the late teens or 20s, absolutely you grab the top RB in the draft if he's there.

Drafting a RB top 5 is still ill-advised, IMO. Unless he is a surefire Adrian Peterson type, go for it. But Bijan, as a good example, is not giving value for his draft spot.
