Official Dallas Cowboys thread: Home of the Mazi and Blue

All I know is, the o line sucked last year the first half of the season. They fired Paul Alexander and decided to let Marc Columbo run the show. Columbo was all about an "attacking" offensive line. Once they made that change, Collins was lights out. Word is Columbo loves him and he really wanted him back. He said he has the most attitude out of all the starters and fills the "enforcer" role.

 

I’m fine with the Collins deal.

I’m also ready to kick the shit out of the giants on Sunday, let’s go boys

 

So hyped. Our first 3 games are incredibly winnable. I know that division games tend to be a crap shoot but I really hope we just maul all 3 teams

 

Excited? to see what style of offense Kellen Moore is going to run

 

That’s a good way of putting it

 

When I went out to training camp I liked a lot of what I saw. Lots of motion pre snap. Lots of interesting formations and a lot of using slot guys/running backs to mismatch against LBs etc. Obviously until the real thing we have no idea how effective itll be but it looked more interesting that Linehans shit lol

 

My one month old son could call more interesting plays than what Linehan came up with

 

You don’t like to see four guys run iso routes out of 11 personnel on every passing down

 

Goff extension nets him $32M a year. That’s good for the cowboys front office

 

Still hanging onto my dream of the cowboys telling Zeke to kick rocks

 

...that guarantee isn't. Lol

 

I wouldn’t call it a win for the cowboys, bob

 

8 years 103 mil total averages out to under 13 mil per year. That and the fact that its 50 mil guaranteed means that we could conceivably let him go 4 years in if necessary. Obviously its a ton of money but I am not too upset by it. The window is open right now. All in now is the way to go IMO

 

Do people really want Dallas to not pay Zeke? Do they honestly think Dak will be successful without Zeke or an elite run game?

 

Yes. It does seem a year early to ask for a new deal, but you'd rather him walk? I'm just not sold on Dak as being the focal point of an offense.

 

This is true but I think something needs to be done with rookie deals. If he was playing on his second deal I'd agree with you but how much negotiating power do rookies have with their deals, almost none right? They're pretty much set with the pick spot. I feel like most of the people making this point would be totally fine running Zeke to death for 3 years and dumping him because for some reason the majority of fans still side with owners.

 

when you have the highest paid OL in the league, the thought is that the drop off from Zeke to a league average RB isn't worth more than about 75 cents. On top of the fact that Zeke will get suspended by Goodell sooner than later, you get an educated portion of the fanbase that doesn't want a Zeke extension

 

Didn't Dak's numbers fall off a decent bit when Zeke was out?

 

Yeah but that also coincided with Chaz Green taking a lot of reps at LT if I remember correctly

 

I think my most burning question of this season is if Kellen Moore will finally take advantage of Tavon Austin in his intended role of web back and also what the fuck is a web back

 

Every time I hear Tavon Austin’s name I laugh remembering Stephen Jones saying he would get 15-20 touches per game

 

I don’t think it matters. Dak is good enough they aren’t going to ever cut him. He wins games, and QBs can have flaws but if they are winning and the team is successful they aren’t getting cut. Just not the way the league works.

 

When you’ve got the pieces in place, might as well go for it - hopefully they’ve got something in there about huge fines or something when/if he gets suspended again for being a dumbass, but I doubt it

 

If he is suspended or gets in legal trouble, most of his guaranteed money is reportedly voided

 

I figured there’d be something like that in there

 

So you don't pay the guy, Dallas goes 7-9 or 8-8 and misses the playoffs. Pay the guy try to make a run at the Super Bowl and run zeke into the groud and cut him when your done with him.

 

There are so many other possible outcomes not covered by this hypothetical

 

Team captains have been elected: Tank, Jaylon (), Dak, Zack Martin, Heath (goat), and Chris Jones

 

lol heath

 

Yes

 

This team needs a lot of leadership

 

This is the best roster we’ve had in 20+ years. If we can’t make a deep run than Garrett needs to go

 

Julio's deal is going to push Cooper's value....

 

LVE sucked that drive

 

Hello where do I sign up to suck Kellen Moore’s dick

 

Moore creativity in 1 game than all of last year

 

Unless I’m mistaken both non-scoring drives were killed by drops from Cooper on slant routes

 

That was a lot of fun boys

 

I for one have always thought promoting Kellen to OC was a great idea

 

So everyone’s 100% sure that Kellen was calling plays?
