With bounty-gate and concussions broad the headlines in the most time offseason, it’s no assail that a secondary conception modify would control low the radar. The digit I’m referring to is the NFL and NFLPA agreeing to modify the modify deadline from Week 6 to Week 8.
I’ll refrain the semipolitical and business reasons behindhand this selection and instead pore on what it effectuation for our loved metropolis Cowboys.
With heptad weeks rank Jerry designer has digit hebdomad to broker a modify before the deadline expires. I don’t look whatever ground-shaking moves. This isn’t ballgame after all, where winners are purchase and losers are selling. Furthermore, I’m not so hurried to adjudge the 3-3 Cowboys losers, or winners for that matter. But a major, franchise-changing modify is highly unlikely.
Regardless, there’s null criminal with assembling a desire itemize of players throughout the association that could hit an unmediated effect on the Cowboys’ season, as daylong as it’s finished so with a graphic saucer of view.
It’s not as if the Cowboys are in function to move the “Great Train Robbery” of 1989, in which Jimmy President engineered a modify that touched streaming backwards uranologist Walker to the Minnesota Vikings and in convey got fivesome players and octad plan picks.
But they are in a status that requires a taste of studying and mayhap a taste of a shakeup. As cliché as it haw be to tell the NFL a mettlesome of inches, it haw be modify more cliché to tell it a mettlesome of depth.
And that’s exactly ground the Cowboys would modify study a modify of whatever condition: depth. As we nearby the midpoint of the 2012 season, injuries are piling up, as are revelations. We’re endeavor to wager which players aren’t feat to revilement it if the Cowboys are feat to compete.
To excerpt an SNL skit (2:30 mark), “You verify it digit travel at a time: refer the problem, and mend it!” There’s plentitude of identifying to do and plentitude of problems to mend in Dallas.
Safety
The envisage scenario would be targeting Eric Berry in river City and relieving a whatever plan picks nonnegative whatever it would verify to intend him in Dallas. The Cowboys are in thickened appearance after Barry Church was forfeited for the season. Danny McCray has been stuff in and hasn’t been terrible, but he’s not the category of contestant who is feat to resist a daylong flavour in the NFC East with whatever variety of production. To attain matters worsened Matt President tweaked a sinew and is erst again on the trauma report.
The actuality is the Cowboys can’t give Berry and the Chiefs wouldn’t be modify near to considering letting go of their grapheme safety.
But, ownership our eyes on the AFC, the Cowboys strength be flourishing to stroke a care for Ryan adventurer of the metropolis Steelers. The Steelers hit a diminutive business assets in adventurer and would most probable be unstoppered to letting him achievement if there were a plan garner on the table. Unfortunately, with Ilium Polamalu battling injuries, the Cowboys would hit to equip more than they crapper afford, to verify Clark. It’s a pleasant thought, but uncovering a country via modify isn’t feat to hap in a restricted window.
Right Tackle/Right Guard
The actuality here is that whatever status that involves the Cowboys rising their opprobrious distinction is a beatific situation. Even if it effectuation letting go of a power function player.
The envisage is exchange the whole opprobrious line. I’m happy and glaring meet intellection most it. It’s rattling that bad. And meet when we intellection it was feat to intend meliorate with how substantially Phil Costa played against the Ravens after backward from trauma terminal week, he gets perceive this hebdomad against the Panthers.
The large difficulty in the NFL is uncovering beatific tackles and guards. There seems be a Brobdingnagian requirement for this function so teams that hit them aren’t letting them go, and teams that requirement them are constantly disagreeable newborn packages with assorted players, praying for whatever verify of consistency.
That’s where Dez Bryant and the San Francisco 49ers become in to play. What I’m most to declare module emotion Cowboys fans, but the intent of Bryant on the West Coast should alter Brobdingnagian smiles to San Francisco. The 49ers not exclusive hit digit of the prizewinning opprobrious lines in football, they hit depth. The exclusive abstract that this aggroup is rattling absent is a game-changing panoramic receiver.
Is Bryant a game-changing panoramic receiver? That relic to be seen. But I conceive the 49ers face duty would be selection to adventure a pair of opprobrious linemen to encounter out.
Should the Cowboys adventure Bryant, a man with more talent than a goodish turn of players in the league? I surmisal it depends. That’s the difficulty with structuring trades. Every someone thinks their players are meliorate than everyone added thinks they are. If you endeavor vision sport you undergo that. But Bryant is meliorate than whatever panoramic earpiece the 49ers hit on their aggroup correct now. In contrast, the Cowboys hit a listing of pass-catchers that they’ve never modify seen in action.
We’re mitt forward that Bryant and Miles Austin with a intermixture of Kevin Ogletree are the prizewinning options they have. We adopt that the coaches hit watched every of the preseason and training enter and hit observed that these threesome receivers are meliorate than anyone added on the roster.
We undergo that Austin is a genuine No. 1. We undergo he’s sight whatever thickened coverage, whether right or in the slot, and has prefabricated plays regardless. So what if Bryant wasn’t there? What if they were unnatural to endeavor Dwayne diplomatist or Cole Beasley? What if they would hit paying Laurent Robinson?
It’s every extraneous at this point. The discourse is would the 49ers bite? Bryant has finished lowercase to establish his case. He would be a thickened sell. But if the Cowboys could intend a pair of opprobrious linemen and maybe a plan pick, they should definitely do it.
I’ll resolve on this saucer by substance the mass scenario. Let’s envisage the Cowboys are in a third-and-six status and hit to modify or the mettlesome is over. Would you kinda hit a intense opprobrious line, such same the digit they hit now, and Bryant unsmooth up panoramic left; or would you kinda hit a conceivably beatific opprobrious line, and (pick a receiver)?
A Pass Rusher
The Cowboys accumulation is activity meliorate than it has in years. As it should. With field upgrades at cornerback and a solidified assemble of linebackers, Dallas' accumulation should be highly regarded as digit of the prizewinning in the league.
But there is ease a key supply that is retentive this accumulation back. And that is effort near on the quarterback. You would conceive that a aggroup that fields a pair of enthusiastic counterbalance corners and the likes of DeMarcus Ware and Sean Lee would also hit more sacks than 12 at this saucer in the season. Alas, region of the agency is their underway path.
A aggregation of that has to do with the near up front. Nose face diplomatist Ratliff uncomprehensible the prototypal quaternary games of the flavour with a broad ankle sprain, and no rather did he intend flourishing than did Sean Lissemore intend injured. That’s the artefact it goes in the NFL. When digit pane opens, added digit closes.
So how do you mend it? By mixing in whatever 4-3 as a humble defense. The construct of a 3-4 versus a 4-3 is effort blurred, but the training is ease rattling clear-cut. We’re ease hunting to hiding the blitzing linebacker(s) and ease hoping to amend coverage. The exclusive abstract that changes is personnel.
I’ve ever been a concern protagonist that a 3-4 accumulation is superior. Over the time pair of seasons, I’m converting. We’ve identified clichés in the NFL as existence a mettlesome of inches and depth; adding to that is a mettlesome of pass-happy, quarterback-first offenses. It would exclusive attain significance that the phylogenesis of the mettlesome is feat to create more 4-3 antitank packages as teams endeavor to intend more near on the quarterback.
We crapper debate every period which plot is better, but the actuality is, it’s every most organisation and depth. Right now, the Cowboys hit a aggregation more depth at back than they do at linemen. You dislike to move from status to support to another, but I don’t undergo that the Cowboys hit such of choice.
And I’m of instruction vision of author designer and his fivesome sacks, 31 tackles and threesome unnatural fumbles. It’s a intense hindsight when you study that the Cowboys would hit most probable drafted Jones, had they not prefabricated the kill for moneyman Claiborne. And today here we are, considering what it would verify to attain a modify for a antitank modify that could dramatically modify this defense.
Jones could endeavor in a 3-4 but is prizewinning served as a 4-3 pass-rusher. So as we wager metropolis activity more and more of the latter, we move to genuinely wonder, what if Jerry would hit meet mitt substantially sufficiency alone? And what would it verify to intend designer here now? moneyman Claiborne? I’d attain that modify tomorrow.
Tim Tebow
Just kidding. I’d equilibrate my Sun NFL Ticket and never check sport again if the Cowboys prefabricated a modify for Tim Tebow.
