Be ready for: * no pre-snap motion - what you see is what you get * 2 TE, 1 FB, 2 WR sets * full time FB, see above * good-bye to 5 wide sets * running 85% of the time on 1st down - as predictable as the sun rising in the East * no underneath crossing routes * 3 yard passing plays on 3rd and 8 Red's stuck in the 90's, think he still has the Triplets - and Eric Williams and Tuinei anchoring the line. This stuff worked back then, not any more. The offensive game has passed him by and he refuses to adapt. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardcore troubadour 12,813 Posted January 31, 2020 Sounds like Dak is pissed about his contract. Maybe the Cowboys take a run at Brady? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustinCharge 2,397 Posted February 21, 2020 The more I think about it, the more convinced I am that the Cowboys will move on from Dak Prescott. Jerry is old and desperate as hell. He just CAN'T ink Dak to a long term deal when he KNOWS the guy isn't a franchise QB. Besides, McCarthy prefers the dropback passer and Dak excels at play action instead. It doesn't make sense to hire McCarthy and keep Dak. Jerry's not an idiot. But Tom Brady, Derek Carr and Phillip Rivers and even (Case Keenum who grew up in Texas a Cowboys fan) are dropback passers. I suppose McCarthy could reinvent himself and fall in love with play action but that seems unlikely. Maybe Jerry is waiting to see what the Raiders do at QB first before deciding. Maybe they want Carr. But there's no rumors of the Cowboys wanting Carr. There are rumors of the Cowboys doing something big in the draft. Maybe they are trading their 1st for a QB. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rivers and Keenum are trash - no thanks...... Carr is interesting, I'd consider it. Jerry is famous for saying, "Deadlines make deals".....Dak will be a Cowboy - one way or the other, he will be. If for no other reason, Jerry has no other options - Dak controls all the cards...... Slotted at #17, Jerry's too far back to land one in the draft. Even if he ponders moving up, there are at least 6 teams needing QBs too - and no way he gives up multiple #1s to move into the top 3. I think both sides settle on back loaded deal, with most of the money up front - at an avg. of $38m a year.... If Dak balks, Jerry will Tag him.. and if he does, say goodbye to Amari.

Hardcore troubadour 12,813 Posted February 21, 2020 Jerry’s too old to start over. He needs a ring without Jimmy Johnson being the reason. That team JJ built was so good Switzer won one with them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Observer 641 Posted February 21, 2020 7 minutes ago, riversco said: I wonder if Jerry is using Emmitt to negotiate thru the media. Either sign for a large discount or bye Dak. Who's paying Dak 40 million per year? We talk about Dallas being foolish if they do, but where would he sign if Dallas lets him walk? No one's paying a guy 40 million who couldn't get it done with the best line in football and top 3 running back behind him. Is Dak simply doing a money grab because this is likely his only big contract, or do you think he thinks he's a top QB in the league? He should sign for around 30 million, which is still probably more than he's worth, and free up the extra 10 mill to sign Cooper. It really puts Dallas in a bad spot. They don't want to lose a top 12-15 QB who has a repoire with the teammates, but they don't want to willingly sign a horrible contract just to keep an above average quarterback.

And he’s kind of a dik as well. Ditto - I don't know where you're getting your info from either. * 2019: Snacks accounted for 50 tackles - that ranked him about 11th among DTs.... he was also good for 2 sacks, 3 tackles for loss. * 2019: DET lead the league in Defensive snaps - meaning his ass was on the field a lot - that (and playing for a turd) wears on you. * 2019: Snacks played and started in 15 games. If we get more than 10 starts from a DT around here, it's an act of Gawd - I'll take 15 from a big man. Now if you want to argue Harrison isn't worth $XYZ amount of dollars for what he brings - fair enuff, that's another discussion. Last year he pulled $9.2 from DET, but the year before he only got $3.4m from the Giants.. If we could get him for something like $4/5m - I'd be all over it........ Like I said, I don't need him to be all world - don't need him to put up stats... I just need him to be solid, take up space, eat up blockers and clog the middle.
