More on ML... Obvious small Siberian salt mine with what they say, but last week he got one of the worst grades.



Top 5 Preliminary PFF grades for the Cowboys 37-20 win in week 2 (I take these with heaviest grain of salt):
Offense:
1. Ceedee Lamb 92.4
2. Dak Prescott 90.8
3. Jake Ferguson 80.9
4. Javonte Williams 78.9
5. Tyler Booker 76.7
HM: Tyler Guyton 76.3

Defense (min 10 snaps)
1. Jaishawn Barham 94.5
2. Shemar James 74.8
3. Malachi Lawrence 71.3
4. Jonathan Bullard 70.5
5. Von Miller 68.3

I'm not sure what they're looking at but Javonte looks like a shell of himself compared to last year at this time. I find it hard to believe he was our fourth best offensive player.

Thoughts on ML? I thought he did look better this game. I guess the rush where he dives at Daniels' feet is the one I remember where instead of juking, he just charged at the LT's outside shoulder and got around the corner fast. Now I see that even then he had a little hesitation first.

They really need to figure out the three, maybe four at most, moves that he does best and learn to use just those depending on what he sees or anticipates out of the OT.

I thought both him and EZ did some good things yesterday.

They both brought pressure multiple times in that game.

They just gotta learn how to finish.

I think they will eventually. And in all fairness the Redskins have two very mobile QBs. Daniels is one of the best running QBs short of only Lamar Jackson. So obviously we may be waiting another week for these guys to start closing out those sacks.

Someone said yesterday that it might have been Dak's best pass ever. I think I agree.

Yeah, they ran cover two about perfect. Guy over top and guy underneath with an extremely small throwing window. And Dak nailed it. Some passes are just unstoppable. That in my opinion was one of them.

I'm pretty close to doom and gloom.

I don't think this was much better than week 1, we were just a little luckier this week and the redskins offense is a bit worse than the Giants.

I think worst of all, I'm not convinced it's a personnel issue. Don't get me wrong, I don't think the players are amazing or anything but I don't think they're particularly well coached. And to me that's the worst news of all unless the coaching staff gets better with experience. But I kind of doubt it.

If Daniels hadn't been injured, the game would have been a lot closer, IMO. He could take off whenever he wanted and get 12-15 yards. The spread for the Baltimore game is -3, which seems ridiculously low. I think Henry will run for 150 easily considering we can't tackle worth a fucking shit and our line was getting pushed back by a below average O line.

I think the biggest thing we need on defense is more talent, which again is where I don't like our draft picks next year. We need more and higher ones. But Jerry will never current trade players for picks because he's always hoping this will be our year.

That's my biggest complaint. Our linebackers and secondary are warmed over shit. And unless they start understanding the scheme better, we're likely to have almost the same group next year. Oh, I'm sure they'll add some bargain bin type FA signings but nothing that is going to put us over the top. That's why I would move Pickens at the trade deadline-for the right price. Let a few of the contenders get in a bidding war for him. We need those assets because these hillbillies won't sign any major impact FAs.
