    Gregory and Schultz

    I think everybody would agree that these are our top two upcoming FA priorities for extension. Based purely on talent Gallup is up there too but the fact that Wilson looks plenty capable as a WR3 at 1/3rd or 1/4th of the price, combined with how much we already have invested at WR in Cooper and...

    Final 53 Man Projection

    Deadline is tomorrow at 4:30 so let's give it a go. The following players are mortal locks, so aside from these let's just list the additional 13 who we think make it: QB (1): Prescott RB (2): Elliott, Pollard WR (5): Cooper, Lamb, Gallup, Wilson, Brown TE (2): Jarwin, Schultz OL (6): Smith...

    Micah Parsons - Rare Pressure Potential from a LB

    For years now I've seen people conflating "pass rush" from an actual edge rusher who plays 3-4 OLB/4-3 DE like a DeMarcus Ware, Von Miller or Khalil Mack and pressure or blitzing ability from someone like Jaylon Smith. People have long wondered if we could unlock some sort of "pass rush"...

    State of the Defense

    After listening to Quinn's PC, and considering that it's unlikely that we add anybody else of significance, here's how I see the defense going into 2021. First, a few takeaways from Quinn's PC: 1. We'll be in nickel/dime with a 4-man line 60-70% of the time (which is pretty standard, @Iamtdg...

    2021 Draft Weekend Chatter Thread

    Alright boys, it's go time, t-minus ~55 hours. I think it's pretty fair to assume that 4 QB's and Chase will go before we pick, obviously you can likely include guys like Pitts and Sewell but for the purposes of including them in the rankings I'm going to say just exclude 4 QB's (any 4) and...

    Short List at 10

    This is preliminary obviously because I've only gotten to watch so many players, but in no particular order: Micah Parsons Gregory Rousseau Kyle Pitts Rashawn Slater Caleb Farley Zaven Collins Dark horses I need to watch more of: Daviyon Nixon, Jaelan Phillips, Christian Darrisaw, Alim McNeil...

    This Time Last Year

    This time last year, going into week 17, we were 7-8 and in the exact same position as we are today in terms of playoff hopes, albeit with 7 wins instead of 6. Needing to win a game against Division Opponent A while hoping Division Opponent B with nothing to play for can beat Division Opponent C...

    2018 Defense

    We had a top 10 defense in 2018, here were the main contributors to that defense, in sequential order of snaps played (excluding guys who played < 25% snaps): DL: Demarcus Lawrence, Tyrone Crawford, Antwaun Woods, Maliek Collins, Randy Gregory, Taco Charlton, Dorance Armstrong LB: Jaylon Smith...

    OL vs. Defense (Draft)

    I'm curious to know what people think as far as possibly going OL in the 1st over defense. Assuming the defense continues as it has through 5 games I think everybody would agree that defense in general should be the number 1 offseason priority considering we could use an upgrade at just about...

    Cowboys sign Everson Griffen

    Last year's roster was the best we've had since our Super Bowl days. With that said, I think this years is more or less right there with some of the best rosters we've had over the last 20 years, even if it's a notch below last years. The only truly glaring hole on the roster is at DE opposite...

    Jamal Adams Requests Trade

    Formally. Schefter reported he'd welcome a trade to 7 teams; Ravens, Eagles, Seahawks, 49ers, Chiefs, Texans and of course the Cowboys. I don't think it's feasible for the Ravens, Eagles, Chiefs or Texans to give up a 1 and a contract averaging 16+/year. The 49ers could swing it but they have...

    Cowboys Round 2 (51) Selection - Trevon Diggs, CB, Alabama

    If you want to see Diggs' ball skills check this out: At 2:43 he brings in an INT over his shoulder like Willie Mays. At 5:17 he's running 40-50 yards downfield at full speed, lays out at full extension and bats the ball away. At 9:18 he's 40 yards downfield, goes up for an INT on a jump...

    Top 17

    Let's assume the top 15 picks go as such, in no particular order: Burrow, Tua, Herbert, Lamb, Jeudy, Ruggs, Becton, Wills, Thomas, Wirfs, Young, Simmons, Brown, Okudah, Kinlaw, give me how you'd rank your top 17 for the Cowboys pick. I went with 17 because it would theoretically take us through...

    Trading Up for Kinlaw/Brown

    After looking at the majority of the prospects expected to go in the 15-25 range I've come to the conclusion that we should be looking very hard at trading, one way or the other. It seems like we're sitting at a spot where there could be a flattening of the talent, where a guy taken at 17 isn't...

    Jamal Adams

    I don't know how to post tweets on this buggy site but multiple reports are saying we're in discussions for Adams. I doubt it happens since I'm sure the Jets will want a Ramsey-type haul but it's very intriguing nonetheless.

    Danielle Hunter Signs Extension

    5 years, 70 million (14.4 average), 40 guaranteed. Seems like a reasonable barometer for Lawrence's deal, although the franchise tag being 17.1 million throws it off a bit. I'd sign him to something resembling that Hunter deal right now, if he refuses to budge off of the 17 or so million that...

    Draft Profiles

    Since Sturm doesn't seem to be doing profiles this year this guy at BTB is doing them, there are a bunch of GIF's and stats at the link but I left them out so as not to make it a pain in the ass to load the thread...

    2014 Defense vs. Now

    So we went 12-4 and weren't far off from the Super Bowl in 2014 with a defense that was opportunistic but obviously shielded by our ball control offense. It seems most people who were against the Elliott pick, and even some who were for it, are up in arms over an assortment of maladies that...
