Official 2013 Dallas Cowboys Offseason Thread - Page 19

Please get pressure on RG3 when he drops back. the time Brees got was embarrassing.

In there!

Last time around the Cowboys were missing Demarco, Tyron Smith, Livings, Cook, Miles Austin and Olgetree. Dockery was playing center, and Parnell was LT. Felix was playing injured and only had 6 carries. Romo had to throw the ball 62 times. Won't have to do that this Sunday.

Already getting super hyped. Bout to convery everyone in Brazil to Cowboy-ism

Yikes.

Time to pull the plug on Romo.

But Jerry won't..


QB, OLine, DLine, A third corner

I was actually at that Smackdown... I was a young lad then

Bye Romo.

Don't blame Romo. According to the numbers he's better than Eli and Big Ben.

8-8 once again. 4-4 at home, 4-4 on the road, 3-3 in the division. Doesn't get more mediocre than that but then again, that's pretty much been the theme for the last 16 years

oline top priority. Looking forward to lee and carter tandem next year. They'll be great.

Alright I'll go with this as the Offseason Thread.

Here's what I posted in the faux one.

Bright Spots:
RB - Murray is legit. He played very well, and probably will do better if we had good line in front of him. I think Tanner and Dunbar are ok, and I can see them back. Depending on if Felix comes cheap is if I want him back.
WR - Dez was the primary reason we were in it in Week 16. Miles is solid (just needs to stay healthy, but as a #2 is very good). Ogletree needs to work on his route running but will be fine if he can develop consistency, he showed flashes of being good. Dewayne Harris is a monster at return, and is a solid #3 or 4. Beasley is alright, I think he has the ability to be a nice slot guy a la a replica of a replica of Wes Welker.
TE- Witten is a rock, dude will always be consistent. I think Hanna replaced Philips as the #2 TE, and Philips will be gone.
LB- Sucks that injuries took this apart. We need to give Spencer what he wants to keep him. Spencer - Lee - Carter - Ware. And at least 2 of Butler, Sims, Albright as backups, possibly all 3.
CB - Carr and Clairborne were not great, but they were much better than our Secondary has been in years. I expect both of them to pick it up and be better next year. Especially Clairborne
K- Bailey is my guy.

I won't talk about Romo. It's a broken record. But we can only replace this **** record with an even more **** record

Safeties - I don't care about any of them. But I don't have a problem giving them another chance
.
Changes that need to be made:
O-Line: With the exception of Tyron, they all need to go. But I understand that is unrealistic. Tyron, ???, Cook, ??? , Free/Parnell. Look for 2 Guards. Cook is good enough. I think Guards will open up our run game. I think we have to look for a Guard 1st Round. The line was too much of a mess to go anywhere else (With the exception of a huge drop on Draft Day like Dez a couple years back) Maybe Chance Warmack who some have going as high as 7th, some as low as mid-20s.

D-Line: Ratliff is old, but when healthy he is a nice piece to have. Although a healthy Ratliff is rare. We need to put a pass rusher next to Ratliff. Or like someone suggested in the season thread move Ratliff to End and go after a NT.

CB: We need a Ball Hawk 3rd DB. Jenkins is garbage, and I may punt a dog if we bring him back. Scandrick isn't good enough for #3, but #4 may be ok.




Summation of what needs to be done:
LG
RG
RE
LE
NT depending on what we do with Ratliff.
CB (a #3)

Resident Redskin fan reporting in.

 

 

I've been saying it for years but I must say it again; we are going nowhere with Tony Romo and Jason Garrett. That was an absolute affirmation that the end should be near for this regime.

Tough loss... We got ourselves back in the game with some good plays & stops down the stretch & had a good amount of time for that last drive, but that INT

What else can you say, just a tough way to end the season.

that hurt

give him bens or elis defense and the redskins score around 14 points, not 28...lol...  but u got it...

 

 

 

 

 

 

toine/essential , i saw a few bright spots this season...

 

 

-dez bryants emergence of course...

 

-dwayne harris made a name for himself as a returner, then a reciever...bye bye ogletree...

 

-bruce carter and barry church were both pleasant surprises...if they can stay healthy, should be two solid pieces for the future...

 

-ANTHONY SPENCER IS THIS SEASONS MVP IMO...always hated dude...he put that D on his back amongst all those injuries...

 

 

 

 

of course alot of stuff needs changing..i like what rob ryan did...im too hot and cold with jason garrett, i dont think i can give a non biased assessment of him right now...so i wont even try,,,

 

but obviously something needs to change offensively...the in game adjustments arent there...to let the skins blitz crazy and have no counter isnt acceptable...

 

 

 

ehh...long season..bright spots along the way....alot needs to change of course...mediocre team tho.....but the east just got tougher and this same squad aint gone cut it honestly...

 

 

au revoir to another season...modern day cowboys = cant get right....

 

 

'im the pappy of that there baby boss'

if there every was a time to fire jason and get another HC its now. way to many names out there that would help us

 

we need to fix both the OL and DL.

 

smith is fine at LT, i can live with cook at C. they need to fix the guards and RT spot. maybe move free inside and go draft a tackle. Andre smith is a FA also with cincy.

 

the DL needs to be worked on Also, get a real NT that can hold up for a full season and move jay to DE. he cant hold up playing NT for a full season in a 3-4 defense. hatcher is fine. i dont think i hear sprears named called once for a impact play. he doesnt make plays or plug holes.

 

 

i would like another pass rusher also to keep dware fresh, he is out there sucking air at times and then goes MIA.

 

u see the defense got worse when we lost all the players up the middle like lee,carter and jay.

Cowboys won't fire Garrett. Instead they are looking for an OC to help with play calling.


Maybe we go back to the early 90s and suggest Norv Turner.. Norv is a terrible HC. But a great OC.

THIS Im hot and cold on Garrett as well but being both HC and OC/playcaller is probably why we have seen some of those questionable time/situation management issues over the past 2 seasons.

DL and OL are the biggest issues moving forward. Free probably wont be around and we will need some gaurds that can get a push. I have to say that the last 3 to 4 games they did much better as far as pass blocking and lack of penalties. Spears and Ratliff probably wont be back either. Some definite holes to fill on that DL. Still on the look out for that soda machine to not be moved around at NT.

Lee and Carter are the future but we need more depth there. Dan Connor doesnt look like a ball player for us. Alex Albright is very flexible at all LB positions, so he looks promising. Spencer might get franchized again.

I like what I saw out of church before the injury so id like him to be back. Sterling Moore looks good enough to bring back to camp next year. Flexible at S, CB, and is good on special teams. Another camp should do Mo some good as well.

The bomb for me this offseason is to release Miles Austin. Injury prone or lack of effort/will to play pushes me to want to go another direction and find another receiver especially if you can find some cheaper talent.

I thought Garrett said he wanted to keep things the same and not bring in an OC. I hope we bring in somebody honestly.

Garrett isn't doing it. Management supposedly is.

Ack it isn't the time to get rid of Miles.. Not this year. He still pulled in great numbers for a #2 WR.


This is what I see in depth so far

Offense Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

Defense Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
Draft:
1st : Guard
2nd: DE
3rd: Guard
4th: DT
5th: DE
6th: QB/WR/CB (QB trying to strike gold)
7th: Diamond in the Rough pick

But I'd trade the 3rd and 4th for another 2nd and pick another guard. DE & Guard are deep this draft so you want to get as many picks as you can in early rounds.
