Walker: Cowboys' Mike McCarthy has intriguing plan for defense going into 2020 season

[Genghis Khan]

When did they all re-sign with the team?

You are willfully missing the point.

 

[p1_]

I don't agree with that. I think Antuan Woods, Kerry Hyder and Maliek Collins are all better than those previous lines mentioned.

I don't think that highly of these guys either. They might be better, but not alot.

But they are better and that was the point.

Actually, you are.

 

[Stasheroo]

But they are better and that was the point.

And not under contract.

And not under contract.

I think this is a good thing; we need upgrades. I would try to re-sign Quinn, but Collins, Covington and Woods dont do much for me.

 

[bbgun]

This is the off-season we finally put Crawford on an ice floe like the Eskimos, right?

Collins has actually been pretty productive. He's not setting the league on fire, but he's definitely not a weakness.
In 2018 Woods looked like a stud. Not near as impressive in 19'.

 

[Couchcoach]

The interior DL absolutely has to be upgraded. It gets really old seeing bargain basement guys being brought in trying to cover up weaknesses. Whether it be the draft or FA, or both, something significant has to be done. As far as Hill's future goes, I wouldn't rely on him for a second. Bring in two quality DT's, and if Hill progresses, that's gravy.

Dude. Collins is a run of the mill lineman.

Dude. Collins is a run of the mill lineman.

All three of the ones mentioned are. DT and even DE need to be addressed.

You're talking to the President of the 'Cut Crawford Fan Club'!

Not enough to 'pay him free agent money'. Collins will get one of the Anthony Hitchens offers that will make our heads spin in disbelief.

That's what I was saying. The cupboard is bare.

Good. He is overrated by this fanbase just like Hitchens was.

Dallas just needs to stay cool.

 

[boozeman]

As for the Crawford thing, if he takes a paycut and plays inside, I have no issues. Especially if we go more of a blended scheme with the DL.

But the paycut thing is huge.

 

[Stasheroo]

"A key piece" of shit is what he is. How this fucking false myth continues to be perpetrated in and around the Dallas Cowboys baffles me. The defensive line and specifically the pass rush got far better after Crawford was gone.

He's in the last year of his deal. Could be easily cut. Not sure anyone out there would pay him more than $3-4. So yeah.
