The cowboys stated several times they wanted to make a move, but didn’t find a trading partner, and they didn’t think any of WR’s available via the draft were better then the guys on the roster.

I am confident one of the young guys will be able to step in and contribute!!

WOW, it that how you manage your team. It was stated time and time again by the team that Glenn needed Micro-fracture surgery last year. The guy had his Cartilage removed from his knee, meaning bone on bone contact. How the hell was that going to get better with two surgeries last year without micro-fracture sugery, thats what I call wishful thinking and poor management by the GM. For three years now Dallas has neglected finding another speed and lead receiver for this club to groom knowing the age of their lead receivers and to take over the spots of Glenn and T.O.

What were the first three issues for this team heading into the free agency and the draft, running back, cover corner and receiver. Two were adressed, one was not, AGAIN!!! It takes atleast two years to groom a young receiver, the position had to be addressed over the last three years, it has not. You cant continue to sign free agents and tie up all that big money through free agency or resign thirty plus year old players.

Crayton is a good third receiver, but not a number two, he’s a seventh round pick lacking speed. Hurd is another third type possession receiver, an undrafted receiver. Austin is a straight line speed receiver with stone hands and is nothing more than a bubble player at best, another undrafted receiver, reminds me of Randell Williams, if he doesn’t show major improvement in training camp, he’ll be cut. Stanback is a project with some upside, at this point, nothing more than that, a project!! I’ve never seen people have so much faith in undrafted players, if they were so good with so much upside, why were they undrafted. Although I would never draft a first round receiver unless that player is a Calvin Johnson type receiver, there are always receivers available in the middle rounds where there is value and upside to develop for a receiver. Glenn is done, if this club loses T.O or Witten for any time due to injury, this offense will struggle badly. Jerry was smart not to throw ridiculous money at some of these free agents, like Berrian and Walker this offseason, but he had chances of getting some upside receivers over the last three years, but didn’t address the receiver position. Takng another Tightend in the second round was a head scracther to me, with Curtis already on the roster and Hannah with so much upside, taking Bennett instead of moving down picking up picks and still drafting a receiver should of been the thinking

The best offensive move this club made this offseason was rehiring Hudson Houck, this offensive line struggled at times on first and second down running the ball early in games leaving third and long too many times. This offensive line will be much improved this year, you’ll see the difference early.. The best hiring on defense was Dave Campo and Todd Grantham. This team will have a better pass rush with Grantham coaching the linemen and Campo will clearly help our secondary, but there is only so much you can do with Roy Williams back there, you cant hide him. My preference at safety would be Hamlin at strong safety and Henry at free safety. Dave Campo is a very good secondary coach.

From the last offseason and training camp, I been saying it for three years, Roy Williams is nothing more than an average safety, Reeves is nothing more than a fourth corner at best, Nate Jones is a spare, Akiin Ayodele is solid but not a play maker, nothing special. Three out of the four are gone, Williams is running out of time with is one tirck pony act. I dont agree with resigning or bringing in more aging 30+ players, Zach Thomas is an upgrade over Akin but is one hit away from being lost for the year, he has concussion issues, Signing an older Thomas stunts the growth of Carpenter and Burnett, Carpenter never gets time on the field other than special teams, the only position where he actually spent time at for more than one year. Burnett, who I thought was a great second round pick, he's a play maker, but cant stay healthy and will surely will be lost via free agency, I dont see him resigning here unless he gets to start.. dallas draft picks rarley see the field, instead are kept on the bench for years where teams like the Giants get their rookies in actual games to get them game reps, which clearly helped them in their playoff run.

Overall, this defense has improved greatly by the offseason moves and coach hirings, but there are still a couple of positions that need upgrading, Williams, Spears and James. James is a team leader, but he doesn’t make alot of plays behind the line of scrimmage and is more of a two down player. I dont care what the name is on the back of the Jersey, its about the position and the team overall to me. and what positions need upgrading that will cost the team a chance to win the division and a superbowl. If you think thats negative and rather talk about complete fictional, never going to happen daily trades, or who Romo is dating, welcome to it, I fiind that a waste of time.

The first three areas that needed to be addressed was receiver, running back, and cover corner. Running back(s) addressed, Cover corner, addressed, receiver, ignored again for the third straight year.

While everyone likes to throw out that team record for our receiveing core last year, try to remember, alot of those yards came against alot of depleted defenses we played last year with third and fourth string corners playing and depleted defensive lines. We got alot of breaks with the schedule playing teams that ended up with alot of injuries on their defenses.

We have it now, especially our 1st time OC.
