Amari Cooper?

        When will this rollercoaster ride end Cowboy Nation? Just when it “appeared” as if the Dallas Cowboys could turn the corner on their season. They go to Landover MD and lay an egg!
         I'm not talking about their usual bad performances. When the offense looks terrible for 3 quarters only to try and save the day in the 4th quarter. I'm talking about playing for first place in the division, and having 7 points through 3 quarters terrible.
         Fans can't seem to crack the enigma that is the Dallas Cowboys offense. I have news for you neither can the Cowboys front office. In an attempt to “try” and save the season, the Cowboys acquire Amari Cooper…………. That loud crashing sound was me falling out the chair laughing at this. You're team is falling apart at the seams and the only thing you can think of is grabbing headlines, Jerry. Really? That had to be the only reason they made this trade.
          What is Amari Cooper going to do that these other bum receivers can't do? Does Jerry Jones think that he's DeAndre Hopkins? More importantly if you can't figure out creative ways to get Zeke the ball, and he is usually 5-7 yards away from itl. How in the hell are you gonna scheme to get Amari Cooper the ball way out on the boundaries?
          Amari Cooper was never the answer to the Cowboys offensive issues. Firing Scott Linehan is! This offense lacks creativity. They also can't seem to consistently do what worked the previous week. There weren't any zone reads or design QB runs. I haven't seen a screen pass in about 3 weeks. Deonte Thompson is still running deep comeback routes. Geoff Swaim and Rico Gathers continue to be under utilized. Even though these WRs are completely ineffective. My biggest issue is they fail to make in game offensive adjustments. Did anyone else see that Double move work with Michael Gallup? Only to have them never run it again! Jerry, guess what would have grab more headlines, FIRING SCOTT LINEHAN!!!!
            The concept of Amari Cooper is a good one. Find a young WR that has talent to see if it's possible to strike the iron while it's hot. The problem is it cost you a 1st round pick. I still think they could have went and got Kevin White from the Bears or Devontae Parker from the Dolphins for a lot less. The rest of this year will be spent getting Dak ready for next season. Get comfortable with Dak Cowboy nation. This latest move all but stamped that he will be the QB for the foreseeable future.

Cowboys lost to Rams.... Defense!!!

       If you're reading this expecting me to bash the Cowboys defense stop reading now! The Cowboys have a struggling defense but that shouldn't be a surprise to anybody. The only way to build a championship team in today's NFL is to hit on some draft picks.  The Cowboys have invested a ton of money on the offensive side of the ball. They still have to pay Zach Martin this season. Also consider that they will have to pay Zeke and Dak at some point very soon. The only way to improve this defensive unit is via the draft. Look on the bright side, the Cowboys could be paying $200 million to defensive players and be sitting at 0-4 like the Giants.         Staying with the money aspect for just a second. Demarcus Lawrence (DLaw) and David Irving are up for contracts after this season. Lawrence was leading the league in sacks coming into week 4. Chances are they will only keep one of them. Byron Jones, a...

How to make a Return Sean Lee?

   I was born in the 80s. That means that I lived through the greatest era of wrestling, the 90s-2000s. We don't have enough time in one blog to go over all the things that era of wrestling got right. One thing they did exceptionally well was wrestler returns. The Cowboys could steal a page out the WWF (now WWE) playbook as it pertains to Sean Lee's return. Daily build up, pyrotechnics, and a heel! Every great return needs a heel. Stings heel was Hollywood Hogan for goodness sake!         Who better a Heel than the Philadelphia Eagles? The defending super bowl champions (🤮🤮🤮). The team whose fans cheered when Michael Irvin laid motionless on his back (something I will never forget). They got the title but it feels like they cheated, like they got outside interference. It just feels like we need a good guy in this situation. Somebody to come from the back and give the fans hope that all good will prevail. The someone is Sean ...

A More Aggressive Approach to Defense

                       With all the rule changes made in favor of the offenses in the NFL it is extremely hard to play defense. Defensive backs aren’t allowed to make any contact past five yards although most of the contact is initiated by the offensive player. Emphasis have been placed on getting to the quarterback because it’s hard to put together a good secondary to shut down passing attacks.  The basic defensive philosophies are to stop the run, prevent deep passes, and keep touchdowns off the board. With the emphasis on getting to the quarterback, coordinators have to be more creative in generating pressure.             Every team would love to have two bookend pass rushers like Von Miller and Demarcus Ware, but it doesn’t work that way. Pass rushers are at a premium and the chances of having two good ones is rare. Most teams have one good pass rusher and...
