I've been critical of the front office over the last few seasons about the lack of direction, or or identity. We've been loaded with weapons on offense for years now, but there's been no real attempt to seriously address the weaknesses on defense or the oline. Newman had been poor for years, James, while serviceable, could have and should have been a part time player as early as 2010. Same with the offensive line. The year the new stadium was hosting the SB, all you heard was how it was possible Dallas could be in that game. Anyone with half a brain new that wasnt happening. The offensive line was terrible. Instead of replacing the stiffs, Jerry rolled the dice with garbage and sold it to anyone that was willing to buy his used car salesman act.
A move like this would make me feel like the organization understands the time is now. Desperation is what the organization has been lacking. The sense of urgency.
Its nice to see, if this rumor is true, that the team is going to do whatever possible to at least try and put the team in position to win now. Would I like to see that urgency in other areas of the roster? Sure, but I'll take this as a good sign going forward.
