Cowboys 2008 picture

[charlesrixey]

while this game has certainly left a bad taste in everyone's mouth, the bottom line is the Cowboys have the pieces in place (a good offense and defense) to win 10-12 games for the next couple of years. while that may or may not lead to a Super Bowl, it is better than the 6-10 hell we have endured for ten years

sure up the secondary(get rid of toast and draft a top S/CB).
Draft a complentary RB to Barber(get rid of Jones).
can always add depth on the oline or front 7 on D.

just by your response, it's easy to see the cowboys aren't hurting too much overall

when one of your three biggest concerns is depth on the OL, then you are already two steps ahead as a team

i like your second comment, too

in the Steve Slaton thread i mentioned he would be a great compliment to Barber if Jones left

if it's a choice between the two, Felix Jones is the obvious choice (charles shouldn't have come out yet)

the only problem is Jones will be gone long before Charles, so the cowboys will have to make RB their first or second priority to get him

In order of need IMO
1. Secondary help...People can jump on the Hate Roy Williams bandwagon, but IMO he is just not a good fit for the 3-4 defense..His problems IMO began when the D was changed. In the 4-3, the OLB is asked to help cover the TE more, in the 3-4 it all depends on if the OLB is rushing the QB and this forces Roy out of his game by making him a coverage SS instead of one playing in the box and running downhill. Find a more athletic coverage SS...Think about a young CB that could allow Henry to possible be a 3rd CB

2. Depth at WR..Glenn IMO is gone and TO is older. Need youth at WR

3. Depth at OL..Dont know if Flozell will be resigned, and we dont know how good Martsen and Freed are at Tackle.

4. Second RB...As great as Barber is, Dallas needs speed at the RB position, a young 3rd down back who can be a legit homerun threat

I think you mean Marten and Free at OT.

I'm not positive, but I think Free started at least one game this season, and he looked pretty impressive. I think Dallas is going to stick with him at LT for the future.

i think they should move williams to linebacker, since i doesn't look like they are going to change the defense

not that he would make a great linebacker, but they certainly aren't playing to his strengths as a player

IMO that is not a wise..He does not have the type of body that can add the weight needed to be a LB AND retain any speed

I thought you were saying Williams current build was too small
to play LB. They said the same thing about Dat Nguyen.

Dat played in the NFL in a 4-3..allowed the DL to sheild him from the OL..If he would have been a ILB in the 3-4 he would have been beaten to a pulp..NOW as an OLB he might have been a solid one especially in pass coverage and such


BUT Dat was also 10 pounds heavier than Roy is..IMO Roy cannot be a LB in the 3-4 at 229 pounds..he would need to gain at least 10 pounds

I agree, but Williams is locked up in a hefty contract. That's the problem.
