    Give Credit where Credit is due

    I'll readily admit 12-4 far exceeded my expectations. I'll admit the season surprised me, but I'm going to give credit where credit is due. Jerry Jones - I'll readily admit, I am anti Jerry as GM. I still don't think he is qualified and I think he only spends a small part of his time playing...

    Sunday Ticket Question

    I've had DirecTV (and Sunday Ticket) since about 2001. I generally hate DirecTV, their billing and their customer service. The last couple of years I've been suspending service in the summer and starting it up again during football season to get the Ticket. However, I've been trying to cut the...

    Offseason Plan

    Let's assume some worst case scenarios: 1. Garrett returns 2. Jerry gives the team a pass due to injury and brings back this same basic core 3. Kiffin gets a pass 4. Callahan is this year's fall guy (not necessarily a bad thing, but someone has to be the sacrificial lamb) The team will be...

    Moving Ware?

    Would you trade him after the season? What would it take and what do you think you could legitimately get for him? I think something will have to be done with his contract to get cap compliant next year. Do you restructure and kick money into future years again? Cutting or trading would save...

    Rat released

    I think that answers your question about prorating cap hit across two years. I don't think they could have done it if it wasn't treated that way

    Optimism/Pessimism Thread

    List the things you are optimistic about and the things you are pessimistic about. Optimistic: Dez - He's going to go off this year Sean Lee/Bruce Carter - I think this scheme will be a huge benefit to both Callahan calling plays - I'm tired of middle of the pack offenses. Garrett is better as...

    Cowboys Scouting Staff

    Does anyone have a recent media guide? I have a theory that I wanted to investigate about the Cowboys scouting staff and I couldn't find a lot about them. Have you noticed that the team likes to pick a lot of the same positions over and over again? Plus those same positions tend to be rated...

    Post Draft Thoughts

    I always like to go back and think about the draft a few weeks after it happens. Gives you a chance to think about all the picks without the emotion of the actual event involved. 1. Frederick - I like Frederick. He's a smart guy from a big program. I'm not sure I agree with the draft...

    JJT - No discernible strategy for Cowboys

    Once upon a time, the Dallas Cowboys had a football identity. They played a 4-3 defense composed of small, fast players who terrorized offenses with their speed. On offense, they used a timing-based passing attack with a power running game and an offensive line that mauled defenses. There was...

    The Defense

    With all the concern about the offensive line, we really haven't talked defense much this offseason. As far as I can tell, the plan is to expect improvement due to health and a switch to the 4-3. From what I can tell, Jerry apparently thinks this is some sort of magical scheme that better...

    What have we learned?

    Personally, I don't think Jerry is much for smoke screens. He's usually fairly transparent in what he is thinking. I'm not sure Stephen is either. Garrett is a little better at being diplomatic, but I do think we learned a few interesting things in the last couple of days. This was a...

    Realistic (?) Offseason Approach

    Obviously, I don't think the team can realistically fill all of the holes on the roster in one offseason. It is a deep draft for OL and DL although I think we may be surprised at how little the OL is changed. RG might be the only position they seriously attempt to upgrade. A starting OL of...

    Driving Across Water?

    Watching Julio Jones light up SF this afternoon reminded me of comments Jerry made after the season. I believe this was after the Redskins loss. He made some similar comments prior to the game. The trade up for Jones seems to be a win for Atlanta after it was widely panned. The Skins move up...

    The Devil and Mr. Jones

    From Texas Monthly, October 2001 http://www.texasmonthly.com/2001-10-01/feature2.php The Devil and Mr. Jones When Jerry Jones fired Jimmy Johnson, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys sold his soul to prove that he's in charge. Now his ego has made America's Team an NFL laughingstock, but it's...

    Worst Case Scenario Offseason

    Apparently, I'm pretty negative about things these days. What do you see happening over the rest of the year/the offseason that you consider the worst case scenario? 1. The team stumbles to an 8-8 finish pushing them into the 15-20 draft range. 2. The team keeps Garrett 3. They makes no...

    2011 NFL Draft Tidbit

    So I'm reading War Room by Michael Holley. In it, he talks about the draft room of the Chiefs in 2011. He indicated that KC held pick 135 (which they eventually used to pick Ricky Stanzi). Dallas wanted to move up to that spot and offered 143 (Josh Thomas) and 176 (Dwayne Harris). Anyone...
