]]> Comment on So many questions and concerns when it comes to the Cowboys offensive line by Tom http://lonestarstruck.com/2012/05/so-many-questions-and-concerns-when-it-comes-to-the-cowboys-offensive-line.html/comment-page-1#comment-42893 Tom Tue, 22 May 2012 12:43:39 +0000 http://lonestarstruck.com/?p=15028#comment-42893 I'm pretty concerned with the Guards and especially the Center. We made a lot of nice moves, but it remains to be seen if they can push to pass block and pull to open running lanes. But overall, it's Costa that's the biggest question mark. He simply was getting spooked by the opposing D linemen and made Romo look like a goalie back there. That''s supposed to be your line captain. The guy calling the schemes. If he can't do that, I want a serious look at Kowalski who played much better in limited duty. I’m pretty concerned with the Guards and especially the Center.

D-Ware has one job and one job only get the QB. Sean Lee is the heart and soul of the Defense he is the number one defender for Dallas. Then D-Ware number 2 and the Ratt number three with the option of moving up to number two if they would move him to Defense end. They do not have a number four and five they will and have changed weekly. This year Carr and Claiborne will have to be number 5 and 6 with Scandrick and Jenkins being number 4. For this years defense to work Scandrick and Jenkins will have to standup big time. Carr and Claiborne will have to be good but the other two will have to be great. R U A IDIOT or what.

Jenkins had one bad year out of 3, the money spent on newman was down right baffling and how did scandrick and sensabaugh reeive contract extensions again? why hasnt jerry drafted anyone from the University of Miami since Jimmy left, and i am the one that is beserkerer, not quite I disagree my friend, Jerry Jones, Bradie james, Spencer, Sensabaugh, scandrick, newman and spears sums up everything thatas wrong with the defense.

Sun, 20 May 2012 14:31:35 +0000 http://lonestarstruck.com/?p=14994#comment-42840 Nice post and solid points, but I hope to God Orlando Scandrick is an ex-Cowboy before the season starts. My one concern that we are stuck with him because of that longterm deal you mentioned. I hated that deal and posted about it at the time. So we now have to assume that not only he stays but that they probably wont reduce his role. As for our friend Mike Jenkins, I'm SHOCKED he's still here. He seems like a spare part now to me unless you play him at the slot, but will Garrett do that?

They are liabilities on this defense. They should've been replaced on this offseason. whoever is responsible for them being onthis list should be fired!!!! Jenkins shouyld be in the top 5 and either Carr or Claiborne should make it this list Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see.

Apparently, its something he likes to do. Now replace that poor production from those two hacks with Mike Jenkins and I like this defense a WHOLE lot more. Looking forward to a solid secondary in 2012. Besides the slot battle with Scandrick, remember how often we saw Walker and Ball being rotated in and out of the game with RR’s new defense.

However I will pick at Chance's assessment above: 1. Costa is a liability right now. He's getting spooked by more experienced linemen. He's talented, but very raw. You're right that he drastically needs to improve, but Kowalski is actually a little more seasoned and handled his business better. 2. Romo might not be able to do any better. Maybe more yards, but 31/9 was pretty darn good while hurt and no offensive weapons catching the ball other than Robinson and Witten. 3. This is the make or break year for Dez. He doesn't need to reach 1300 yards, but he needs to be a more reliable threat to catch and run. When he uses his body, he's almost uncoverable. We need at least 1000 and 10 TDs out of him to be a bonafide beast and he simply needs to be smarter when the O-line breaks down to come back and give Romo a target to get rid of the ball. 4. Murray doesn't need to get to 1200 yards, but when you're ripping off 5-8 yards a carry, that will keep the opposing D honest and hang back and wait for him or allow Romo to pick them apart waiting for him to get the ball. 5. I agree here. Smith needs to do everything he can to develop a nasty streak and keep Romo on his feet and help open running lanes on the left side. A special mention of Miles. The fact he said he wasn't ready to play last year was disturbing. He better come ready to play because when you only have one downfield threat will allow a D more chances to take you out of a play without much effort and allow more of a pass rush. Don't be a bust after getting your contract. I really don’t have a problem with this list. However I will pick at Chance’s assessment above:
