Catch the New Doomsday Wave

Yes Big D is back. All these guys will get playing time. This is great. We now have all the tools to have a dominating defense. The size and aggressiveneness of the frotn seven should take pressure off the db,s. We now have the speed off the edge to pressure the quaterback. More pressure more sacks more interceptions more roy williams big hits. We can line up in a 3-4 and move to a 4-3 without changing personnel. Glover and Ellis should be in a state of joy. This is the draft we needed to compete in the nfc. Everybody improved except for GB and Seattle(which is where I live, fire Holmgren!)
I’m so happy I think I may cry.

i like that we can rotate and be the patriots of the NFC

i mean ellis will be so much better along with glover, and i just hope so badly that canty, burnett, ratliff, and ware will be good players.

i would hate to see one or two be a bust, and then anotehr getting hurt, that would leave us in a terrible position again

and i read that justin is actually a FS….so why was everyone saying he was a SS??

and also….

what if all these kids are good, do we cut singleton or something or waht???

and can someone give me positive info on thronton? ive never seen him play and dont hear too much about him but alot of you say he is awesome so can someone help me out here??

Lamonte,the Redskins had the worst draft in the NFC.

Redskin had the worst draft in the NFC, SO what else is new!!!!
I wont lose any sleep over it thats for sure.

oh yeah, And now Denver has washingtons first round pick next year and we know that will be a top ten pick probably, so you think Shanahan will be trading up for leinhart with two picks in the first round to get a QB instead of that bum thay have now,plummer

after reading the article and looking over the depth chart it seems like the only guys who need to worry about making the team are not vets like Singleton, but some of the young guys like Fowler, Shanle and O’Neil.

With the kind of rotation we are building it is going to be a full-court press all the time for the other guys QB and there will not be any rest until fourth down.

there just doesn’t seem to be a salary cap reason to move the veterans until we see how the rookies preform this year. SO that means that the only thing limiting our defense is the 53/48 (total/active) numbers of our roster and that means the young guys mentioned above better show Bill what he wants while in California.

Hey there is one thing we forgot! We actually have a better secondary too.

Rafael, good insight. LaMonte, I concur. The front-seven coffers are indeed filled, let the waves of destruction commence! Would it be uncouth to call it tsunami defense? Whatever the catch-phrase, the improvement in the front seven is also an upgrade of the secondary, halting the bleeding in coverage and in effect, creating residual opportunities for the offense. The defensive backs go from being the prey to the predators. They can now prowl this surf like sharks in the water, lurking on hurried, mistimed passes, delivering devastating hits and feeding on fumbles. This should return Bledsoe to championship form and put Julius on a clock-eating diet.

I’m hoping Terrance Copper and Patrick Crayton can step up this year. Then our offense will be just as versatile as our defense. We could go big with 2-3 TEs or spread teams out with 4-5 wide. Boy I love Bill Parcells!!

I think Crayton is going to be a player.

I thought Copper played pretty well………and Crayton not bad………

we failed to score many points without Julius Jones and Dan Campbell……..if those two are healthy we can score more…..still Key and Terry are older guys we need more than Crayton and Cooper……….

Oh Antonio……..why werent thee a bill parcells player Antonio………you had POTENTIAL!!!!!!

Laroi Glover is a player………period. He starts on any NFL team. Somewhere along the line depending on their talent.

While Ellis looks like a pure 4 lineman DE, he will see time in a 3-4 also. He just could not do it every down. But hey……….we got enough guys to go around now.

im listening to the post draft conference with jj and he said quincy is having a huge off season workout and he expects good things from him this year. i really hope this is the case and it leads to a good season for him, he has the talent and just needs to let it shine. im extremely happy all around with the draft and think we dont want to be the patriots of the nfc but the cowboys of 92-93, i think we were better defensively.

go to www.dallascowboys.com and you can listen to the conference calls with are top 4 picks, very nice

If you want versatility, look back at the Cowboys of ‘93 (I think that was the year) when we played a 2-4-5 in the superbowl against the bills and their no-huddle (pre-payton manning) offense. That was amazing, and I hope we can get back to that level option-wise. Of course, that was because we had great safeties and CB’s, but the idea is still the same. Adaptability is how you win (New England’s almost effective superbowl defense is an example, but the ‘Boys of old dominated with it, the Pats couldn’t shut them down completely). I toast to the draft and free agency as of now. Good job BP for gettin JJ (Jerry) to keep his head attached to his shoulders (like JJ (Jimmy) once did).

Actually—I think we played more 2-3-6 than we did 2-4-5, my bad

this is from cbssportsline

 Dallas Cowboys

Best pick: Second-round pick Kevin Burnett has first-round ability. The linebacker will be an immediate starter.

Questionable move: Hard to find any. We really like this draft. But sixth-round pick Rob Petitti has some weight issues.

Steal: Fourth-round pick Chris Canty was considered a potential first-round pick entering 2004, but a knee injury dropped him down. Getting him here, adding more depth to the front, is a great pick.

Overall grade: A. They loaded up on defensive linemen, which was the plan. They had a heck of a draft.

since we all hate the deadskins heres there review

 Best pick: There was some pressure on the Redskins to take a receiver with their first-round pick, but they did the right thing and took corner Carlos Rogers.

Questionable move: They better hope Jason Campbell is the next Donovan McNabb for what they traded away to get him. The only thing is it will take time for him to develop, and that won’t be something this coaching regime will benefit from.

Steal: Fifth-round pick Robert McCune could be an impact linebacker in a year or two. He’s a tough, hard-nosed player.

Overall grade: C. Getting Rogers was a good pick, but I don’t like the trade to get Campbell. And that’s how this draft will be judged.

Now maybe we have a D-line to pressure McNabb so he can’t stand back there and move around for 30 seconds and hit TO on a long pass ala MNF.

very true i hope to god we can put some good pressure on the qb it will make are secondary look amazing if the qb knows he has 2-3 seconds or else hes gonna get hit, dont care how good of secondary you have if the qb has 5-8 seconds hell burn you everytime…

I read somewhere that it was the loss at corner more than FS that hurt Roy Williamsâ€â"¢game last year. With the addition of Henry, Ferguson and what we got in the draft I canâ€â"¢t wait to see Roy this season. If the secondary will become sharks, Roy is going to be a great white!

Has anyone heard how Drew Henson is coming along? I heard prior to last year how all teams were salivating over getting him, but he was not impressive last year in his limited duties. I know it takes time ( I used to cuss Aikman in 89) and just wondering about the future

Didn’t we lose a DT already. I thought somebody blew out a knee. If we have enough tackles then whichever end shows the least ability to play 3-4 olb gets traded. I can see Beriault being a servicable FS. He needs to work on his man coverage skills but seems suited to play zone. Good coaching can do wonders for a player and proper training can increase his foot speed and flexibility.

Sammy,

Word out of Dallas is Henson is working his but off in Dallas learning the offense. Training Hard. Working with some recievers. Impressing Jerry and Bill. Henson has size and strength and all the intangibles. But hey they guy didn’t even play sandlot football, he was shagging flies for Steinbrenner. As a Freshman he had Tom Brady the Senior riding the PINE……..Henson can make the plays. Consider him our Farm Prospect he cost us little other than a 3rd round pick.

The fact that Bill did not sent him to NFLE is a good sign. For both Romo and Henson. That is the kiss of death just ask Chad. Unless you light it up which he did not.

Dallas will probably pick up one of these FAs to bring to Camp, but unless one of really impresses doubt they add another QB to the roster. I think Bill must like Romo too, remember him promoting Romo to 2nd twice last year.

Lamonte,
Blade a DT that gained weight injured his achilles i think in NFLE…….he had one good year but was a project. Looks like a LB will be cut. But Bill likes a lot of LBs……so not sure……….I guess James, Nguyen, Singleton or Shanle and Burnett to be starters…….mabye Thornton in there if he improved…….but Ware is probably the OLB in a 3-4 and a rotating DE in 4-3……..so he is kind of our tweener……..part DE part OLB………I read a few drafts that had Burnett better than Johnson, and said you never draft a pure LB in high upper first round…….too much to pay……..Ware has size to be a DE……..DJ does not…..he is a pure LB……so if Burnett lives up to his hype……..we got ourselves Defense…….I think Ware and Spears are starters……….regardless of the scheme…….

they are saying hes thrown more then 4500 passes this off season, maybe thatll mean 2006 henson??

I don’t think Ware will be a starter. I see as the main formation: Spears, Glover, Ferguson and Ellis in the front line, and Singleton, Nguyen and Burnett as the LB corps, with pass rush makeovers and several 3-4’s through games, just to keep the offences honest. Although, I bet Parcells is going to play Ware from 20-30 plays a game, after all, he’s a first rounder, maybe getting in the place of Singleton in passing situations in a 4-3, Singleton is more of a run stopper, after all.
