The upside is perhaps a draft class of Jeanty and hit on a good DT might put us back in playoffs.

Yeah I mean the young Oline should keep getting better. I could see that unit making a leap with a new Oline coach. You put a legit RB behind it and we may be able to return to sort of early Dak career offense.

The defense still has a lot of pieces. But the depth needs to continue to be replenished. And DT is going to be paper thin if Osa walks.

They can't really let Osa walk under any circumstances, he's having a bit of a breakout year at our biggest position of need. This is a guy we drafted, developed and is now entering his prime, figure it the fuck out dumbasses.

Lookit, there are only so many scholarships to go around with Parsons coming up.

That's the problem. Some guys actually take a few years to really reach their potential. And our current setup basically means if you're not elite by year 3 you walk. And all that work developing a guy and making him into a good starter is wasted. I hope they figure something out with Osa. I think he is a necessity. Guys like Martin, Cooks, Elliott and all the others you an let walk. But a guy like Osa just has to be kept around or you're doomed for another disaster year at DT.

We're going to be shedding a lot of big salaries very soon in terms of Martin, Lawrence, Steele and potentially even Diggs in 2ish years, not to mention a few mid-tier salaries like Wilson and Hooker either this offseason or next, plus of course the fact that we let Pollard, Armstrong and Tyron walk last year, all of whom had medium to large salaries.

Even if Lawrence or Martin return it'll be 1-2 year deals that are 25% of what they're being paid now.

They can easily afford to pay guys like Osa, Bland and Golston, even on top of Parsons and Tyler in a few years. They might have to let someone like Ferguson walk but he's not a huge priority, much like Schultz he isn't an elite TE who you want to build an offense around and unless he's willing to take a reasonable deal he can go.
 
We all know our offense can match score for score with Cincy… but if the the defense can get pressure on Burrow and force a turnover or 2 we might have a shot at covering the spread :lol

Spread sounds like it's begging for Cowboys money which makes me leary. It's down to 5.5. Hopefully, it gets down to 4

Why are we hearing about Lawrence’s chances to play from the team’s fricking EVP?

That is a HC question… give him a chance to inform, prevaricate, or call his player the wrong pronoun.

I agree but I also just don't care much if he plays or not. Much respect for Lawrence and his play here but I'm still of the mind set that we should keep rolling with younger guys.

Plus Jerry said on his show that Lawrence probably would be back this week. :doh

Where you been? In a cave? That's how they run their press conferences. Jerry and Stephen talk to the media first and then Mike.
 
My fearless prediction: He will NOT play.
