I haven’t seen a single person anywhere on the internet vigorously defend Costa. Who are you referring to?
Anyway, we could have had Wisniewski…
oh Costa has supporters
Kegbearer just pulled up DeMarco’s 91 yard TD as a visual reference to how good Costa is and I am only pointing out the bad

I can take the good and bad with some players
but the bad with Costa is just awful
look at how weak he is there, he gets bull rushed right into Romo there

It's certainly an ugly vid.
And his overall PFF grade was poor so I don’t think your taking it to much out of context. However the guy is 24 years old and apparently showed some improvement as the year progressed. By no means do I think he should be handed the starting job for next season but I see no harm at all in letting a young guy continue working in the off-season and seeing where he’s at in camp next year.
Between Nagy, Kowalski and Costa I hope we can find a solid starter and backup. We can’t afford a high pick or expensive FA at every spot.
I just am beginning to wonder if the Cowboys lied to the fans about Costa being so good that Gurode was expendable
or if they really can’t judge talent well

I think they were just really ready to move on from the old, overpaid and under-performing group they had.
But I’ve been very, very critical on their abilities to scout and judge Olinemen for several years now.
With Free and now Tron, I’m hopeful things are improving but far from 100% confident. If Arkin and one of the Nagy, Killer or Costa group comes through for us next year I’d be very impressed and would say that they’ve turned a corner scouting Oline. Until then…
Luke this is off topic but is similar
we agree, their grading on OL has been awful, but it looks like they changed the way they scout and grade OL
lets look at CB’s, I want to change the way we look at CB’s and the way we grade them
our criteria for a CB is always 5’10-5’11 180-195
they need to start looking for some bigger CB’s who can matchup with the bigger WR’s in the league
still look for speed, because the Cowboys love CB’s with speed, but move the criteria to 5’10-6’3

The CB topic you raise is a good one.
I agree that they target the smaller CB’s but the reason is because they are often the quickest and fastest. As we seem to play a lot of man coverages we prioritize CB’s who excel at man coverage and most of those are the smaller types. Until we change defensive philosophy I don’t think we’ll see them change the CB type they draft. *Of course their are rare CB’s who are both good size and good man coverage but their almost always Top 10 picks.
Personally I’m inclined to agree with you though. I’m tired of having CB’s make ‘business decisions’ all over the field. Newman has practised his physical softness for years to the detriment of our D and Jenkins has a few blatant examples himself. When Garrett took over we saw Jenkins, to his credit, physicality improve his play significantly but now he’s always injured because of it. He just can’t take the beating. Scandrick is a great combo of speed and physicality but he can’t play the ball in the air!
I agree I’d like to see some more size and definitely some more toughness out of whatever new CB’s we bring in.
The problem is, who isn’t looking for a 6’3" corner with speed?
Has the whole world gone crazy? Am I the only one around here who gives a s#!t about the rules?!?
they all dont have to be 6'3
my point is we only go for guys who are 5’10 with speed
need to broaden up the scope

maybe there's a conspiracy here.
ask Costa to help “destroy” Romo so they can try get “Luck” LOL
but seriously, they should get as much help as possible to protect Romo,
don’t worry too much about the defense. If they can :
1. protect Romo
2. score more TDs than the opponents
3. go to SB

And it's guaranteed pressure if you run a stunt at him.

An nonathletic, weak center who is confused by the most basic defensive rushing technique. Ugh.

I am not content with a combo of Costa Kowalski(who I like) and Nagy

Demarcus Ware- making Sheli Manning piss his pants since 2005
yeah its one in a million

I wasn’t referring to the game ball series. You wrote a fanpost saying Sensabaugh was the lone playmaker in our secondary.
(I’m not trying to attack or anything. I respect all the work you put into this blog. However, with a higher profile comes a higher standard and sometimes I think you overstate your feelings toward a few players.)

he was the LONE playmaker early in the season
dudes playmaking dropped off big time
that is what is so sad, Sensabaugh is our biggest playmaker back there and he had what 2 INT’s?
Newman had 4 and he was real good early on in the year because he had fresh legs
as soon as he got winded he got abused

I agree Chia
That video is really bad. We need a new Center ASAP. Either that or Costa needs to improve ALOT. I think an interesting stat would be how many sacks he gave up during the year.
Sad that they didn't need to be
There’s 3-5 more “highlights” right there
"No one ever accomplishes anything alone in football. We all like to think that we can, but that's just not true. It's always been a team game, always will be." - Tom Dempsey
"Leadership is getting someone to do what they don’t want to do, to achieve what they want to achieve." - Tom Landry
you know I watched that two or three times Chia
and While I am no scout, and have never claimed to be, I fail to see why every one hates on him…yes he got over powered at the line of Scrimmage alot…name one Lineman that hasn’t had a few bad plays.
IT seems like Everyone was expecting Costa to come in and be an all pro….and then when he wasn’t, OMG! HE SUCKS!!! CUT HIM NOW!!! etc etc….
I have pointed this out before, and I know that PFF grades aren’t the end all but…..
the average per game grade for a Center, over the past 3 years (from here) is a whopping 0.17, and that is including Alex Mack’s phenomenal Rookie campaign.
Costa Graded out as slightly below average @ -0.61. If We discount Alex Macks Performance(which I don’t like to do but with as small of a sample size as this is, it greatly affects the final result, and is likely not ordinary) the Average 1st/2nd round rookie grades out at -0.73 on a per game basis( or a cumulative grade of -11.68.
and Truthfully Costa worst game was the Patriots Game if I am not mistaken @ -6.8. Other than that Costa was better overall than most 1 st and second round rookies. which for a 2nd year UDFA with all of one full Offseason, is pretty danged good IMO…
What I saw was a young player that needs another year to Polish his technique, and possibly move to the Guard position(which would help to negate his shorter arms, as he could use his explosiveness to better effect not having to snap the ball) and another year in the weight room, to help with his anchor strength….
Here’s a theoretical play from 2010: Snap. Tony takes 7 step drop. Tony looks left at Miles, who is doubled, and looks right to where Roy Williams should be…but instead sees Colombo on his back and a Defensive End foaming at the mouth jumping over Marc’s carcass. Tony proceeds to run like hell and look for Witten

I think the switch to G is a real possibility. I hold more hope for Kowalski to develop under the outline you gave above

IMO you are 100% correct Ironman.
No one is saying buy Costa’s jersey, that he is a HOF’er, etc.
We are simply saying look a little deeper, scratch the surface. You have a young guy who was thrown to the wolves at the start of his 2nd year. He started awful but improved to average the last 1/2 of the season. He fights, never gives up and has a attitude we like on the OL. His teammates even call him “Bulldog” for his fighting, never stay down attitude. Give him this off season with his new coach that stresses technique and see how he does in camp. Give him competition, don’t hand him the starting job. But see if he continues to improve as he has been.
Chia, you defend Dez to your dying breath and say wait for the 3rd year, that is when it comes together. Why do you want to deny Costa the same chance? After all, Dez was a 1st round draft pick, Costa was a UDFA.
I know you have a prejudice against UDFA’s, but still, this post is over the top.
And btw Iron, I may steal your links next time someone starts in on how Arkin must suck because he wasn’t even active for games. I argued he was a 3rd rounder from a small school and OL don’t do well the first 1-3 years on average and was laughed at.
lets compare Dez to Costa, that is so awesome
jesus I have seen it all now
one scores TD’s and has been said to have a superstar skill set
the other is a bad player, so bad he was ranked 30th out of 32 on PFF
Dez has well actually done something, I say wait for his 3rd year because you will see what people are expecting from him, superstar

Yeah, you do. You have made negative statements several times about UDFA's or low picks.
Saying things like, they almost never work out, forget them, 1 in a million, cut them, etc. I have talked with you about that subject before when you were very dismissive of a PS player. You don’t do it a lot, but I have seen it a few times. Perhaps you don’t realize you do it occasionally.
And I didn’t compare Dez and Costa directly. Just that 1 is a 1st round draft pick who has his critics and you defend him to the end saying wait till his 3rd year and he will be better. The other is a UDFA 2nd year guy and you want to throw him under the bus, screw waiting to the 3rd year.
It is about consistency.
I can not once ever remember having something against UDFA's
I have something against Costa, I cant remember another UDFA I have bashed recently, so maybe you can enlighten me on my bias?

yes, they almost never work out, which is true, look at the success rate, its a long shot
every now and then you stumble across a Romo or Austin, but those players show promise, they show glimpses of what can be
I have not seen that from Phil Costa, not once have I seen a play where I was like WOW now we got something there
a guy like McCray or Church, you see them flash glimpses of what can be and you hold onto them and work with them

I like Kevin Kowalski
I would prefer him over Phil Costa
I like his scouting report better, Kowalski is described as a smart player and doesn’t have snap issues
Costa has had snap issues dating back to Maryland and that is why he was moved to guard there
Costa at guard may be a better fit for him but I still dont think he is NFL caliber starter
Kowalski has a much better reputation and scouting report
I could at least get behind Kowalski, I have seen enough from Costa
personally I am not a fan of smaller centers like Costa, its one or the other
either you are real smart and have great technique or you have size and are a good athlete
if you are neither, you won’t be a very good football player
what the Cowboys do this offseason at C will show their stance on Costa, I would be shocked to see them just let Costa and Kowalski go into the summer as the only Cs in a position battle
I would be shocked

You and me agree on Killer K….
and Costa set Weight lifting Records at Maryland(though Maryland isn’t exactly a Top Tier School) so I am sure for his size Costa is pretty strong….
and for the most part, Pad level and snap issues are correctable….
And As far as Costa and KK being the only two C’s that go into TC? Well I am sure that Dallas will bring in somebody, unless they draft a player I would bet the main Battle will be Between them and possibly Nagy, who was the starting C for Wisconsin before his accident.

I respect your opinion, Ironman, but...
“What I saw was a young player that needs another year to Polish his technique,”
Costa may have more years but our dear Romo might not, couple more bad ribs and lungs and whatever, he could be “done”, what we are horrified might not be how good/bad Costa played in 2011 but how Romo had been terrified, scared, hurt, on the ground, etc etc because of Costa, come on man, Costa is the centre, do u know what is “right in your face” mean?
poor Romo!
May The Force Be With the 'Boys! Amen!
here is the thing sbnles
First off thank you for the props, don’t get that often..haha
However everyone is saying that we need a first round guard…Now the Combine hasn’t happened yet, so I will abstain on making any judgements, but there is a huge risk in taking a guard that high….if you click on the link I provided, (here it is again) the average first round eractually performs worse than Costa did this past year.
Rarely does any Rookie come in and Be great, and in fact on a per game basis Costa Graded out as just as good as many 1st or second round Rookies…..so there is talent there, it just needs to be Polished up a little

if that player is significantly higher in rank than a player of need?
yes of Course… but if it is Close?… you take the the position that is your weakest…
take last year.. in the Smith vs Watt Debate.. Columbo was horrible…and while our DE’s weren’t anything to write home about, they weren’t nearly as bad as Columbo….
and Since Smith and Watt were ranked fairly close….Dallas took Smith…..
Same issue here. Newman was Horrible, so if say Kirkpatrick and Decastro are ther at #14(unlikely, but it could happen) Unless Dallas can upgrade Newman’s spot in FA, then you take Kirkpatrick, over Decastro, because even though he may not be the "pure BPA at that point, the Difference doesn’t outweigh the Return(upgrading a young “average” player vs a Older bad player)
Wow ok didn’t mean to go off on that Tangent like that…did I make any sense?

Then the comparison would be a lot less close. Its really depressing to think how we’ll pretty much never have the opportunity to get the top CB in a draft. No Peterson, No Claiborne. Just some guys who might be close to how good they are. Thank god we didn’t take Prince.
I failed in getting this 'most' important point across...
we fans have been debating whether to get good help for defense or offense but we should all remember this:
if a cornerback fails w his assignment, the opponent might get a touchdown but
if a centre/offensive lineman fails w his assignment, we may lose our quarterback for the game, season or forever
That is why it is such a horrible experience watching the video and Chia it is not a ‘laughing’ matter!
May The Force Be With the 'Boys! Amen!
That was my point last year
In the OL vs DL debate – relative impacts of each position.
DAL is going to need 5-6 new Starters, 2-3 new Contributors who get substantial PT. That is a very tall order. Prioritizing needs is going to play a major part in talent acquisition. Bad news is sins of the past Drafts(09, FA and bad contracts/underwhelming performance still haunt us. The good news is last season seemed to be a windfall of talent acquisition – primarily through smart, steady drafting and diamond-in-the-rough UDFA’s. We can’t get too clever, but at the same time, can’t pick scared, either.
