Just peel back and go after the QB and hit the hell out of them because no matter what we will score vs. their defense. This defense going into next year looks like a defense that will give up 34 - 38 points a game. I can't see Romo staying healthy playing from behind all season, and I can't see any QB growing in this system in the same scenario.

Or... We can draft all defensive players and keep Moore as our backup and watch this team go 5-12 once Romo gets hurt again. Then once Romo is retired in 2 years we can go back to the Chad Hutchinson and Drew Henson days!!! Can't wait!!

Or, we can make a deal, move back a little for some extra picks, still go out and draft all defense. Sign RGIII. In the end we could 8-)

get 3 first round impact picks, one of which is your QB.

As I said, back to the Drew Henson and Chad Hutchinson days. RGIII sucks. He's a 1 read QB. All his success came on being able to make 1 read, and if his guy wasn't open he'd take off running. Now his knee is completely shot and he's still just a 1 read guy. Shanahan himself has said the guy can't read defenses. He sucks worse than Kellen Moore.

Not so sure about that, now that I have given this some thought. This could be very huge for us if you really think about it.

If you mean huge failure then I agree completely.

What I am going to admit on this day, and that is I must give Steven Jones some love and credit here. I've been incredibly hard on him and especially, crap for brains, Jerry. But somehow he has reigned in Daddy the past 3 years, got us out of salary cap hell and done a pretty damn good job in the draft the past 2 years. He has seen the mistakes of daddy (over spending with reject free agents) and is trying take us down a different path. If we can have another big hit in the draft this year, stay healthy with our 4th place schedule, we could have a fairly easy run for a division title and playoff birth.

bluejerseyjinx wrote:No way. With this crap going on with Gregory now, are we going keep Hardy now? Perhaps McClain. We have only ONE PLAYER ON DEFENSE, AND I MEAN ONLY ONE PLAYER ON DEFENSE NOW. And he can only stay health half a season. This defense is totally doomed unless the whole draft goes to the defense. JMHO, but so far I have been spot on now for 4 years running.

I still feel the same way today especially even more now with Lawrence being suspended. I was kinda hoping to pick up an Rb and maybe another WR, but I personally feel we have no other choice now than to go all out on defense this year. We still may be in huge trouble because it appears to me that the culture at all hasn't changes with Jerry's play toy. Just think, last year Jerry wanted to bring in Manziel. so that means the next junkie or thug is up. Dallas takes Bosa at #4. We could be in very serious trouble this year guys. Don't worry Mr. B., you just may get your wish next year with QB. Because if this all blows up, which I think has a very good chance of doing if we don't draft right, and if Romo goes down again, we will be near the very top drafting your QB next year. Looking at all the holes we have going into this year's draft, now all these suspensions, etc., Romo's health and we haven't even begun to get into injuries. Seems like the injury bug has also played its role over the years making things extremely difficult for us. Like I said, if this all blows up, Romo gets hurt early again like last year, I can see us winning only 3 or 4 games again this year if we have a bad draft.

Now that QB is off the board for the Cowboys I've been going over every scenario and looking at the positives of each scenario.

If Bosa is the guy I really want them to draft heavy on the DL. So Bosa with the 1st pick, and either Bullard, Billings, Ogbah, or Dodd with the 2nd pick. Then in the 4th draft Ronald Blair. That's 3 studs in a rotation with Crawford, Thornton, and David Irving. Also with Lawrence and Gregory when/if they get back.

Ready for another 4-12 season guys? Here it comes. I bet Romo and Witten are so happy we picked up a defensive player that can't play till 2017. Better yet, we can't draft or know how to, so lets go back to signing FA scrubs from other teams with big contract. At least we get some defensive help once in a while. If we don't draft, or know how to, then les go back to salary cap hell with other teams rejects. Its more fun. Think about it, all - stars all over the place on offense, and practice squad players on defense. Why didn't we all think of that? Quite the trend and marketing ploy. I need to go back to college. I had no idea Jerry was this smart. Maybe I can get him as a instructor.

You would think, after almost 30 years of owning this team, that Jerry would have figured out by now that defenses win championships, and not just in football.

Considering his team's offense was so dominant in the 90's it's pretty easy to see why he hasn't figured it out yet.

As long as we stay healthy I like our chances to win the division.

Currently projected to win according to the Vegas odds.
Cowboys +160
Giants +220
Redskins +400
Eagles +500

I actually think the Cowboys will run away with the division. If they can't develop or even manufacture a pass rush though they will be 1 and done in the playoffs.

I think I will stay away from this one as well. Today's Cowboy fans are happy with a division title. The real America's Team Cowboy fan finds it unacceptable that we have fans that feel that way. I have to find another forum, wow.

Have to crawl before you can walk

We've been crawling for 20 years now.

Well - we actually did get up under Parcells but got kicked in the nuts back in 2007.

Friggin' Crayton...

Wasn't all Crayton's fault. Defense let us down just before the half and last drive of the game. Sound familiar?

Otis Driftwood · Post #38 » by **Otis Driftwood** » Fri May 20, 2016 11:27 am

Yep. But - making those two EASY (easy for your average WR) catches completely changes that game. No?

They likely win that game if he makes those catches

Two ways to look at it but not saying you guys are wrong though. Defense can't make a stop or defensive stand on the of each half by the Giants. When it counts, everything on the line, our defense has not come through in years. Its been so long I can't remember when the defense made the difference. If we had a defense, Crayton is not the scapegoat.
