AFF Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Just now, warfelg said: FWIW last year they passed 51% and Ran 49% and McCarthy has been talking about running the ball more to rest the defense, and part of the reason they let Moore go was because he didn't take that direction. I’m aware(due to looking into Dallas offense heavily for fantasy football😂)…I just think it’s offseason BSing/coach speak by McCarthy. He’s fighting for his job…he’ll wanna score pts to keep it.

warfelg Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I don’t think this is just talk TBH. The year the Cowboys defense played its best they were a 55/45 run pass team. Just FWIW on the Taylor thing - I don’t think it’s “regrettable” if we don’t do it. I just wouldn’t be against exploring it. I can’t really think of many players who fit the bill next year in trade and extend scenarios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would much rather go for Higgins or Aiyuk if we are going to take a swing like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiyuk would be my 2nd choice behind my man crush JJ if they went and paid $$$ to get another good WR in FA. I think he’s borderline elite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warfelg Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I’d go Higgins over Aiyuk easily. In face at the opportunity cost of JJ I’d go Higgins too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’s borderline elite. If JJ comes available you give up the farm, no doubt. I continue to seriously doubt that will ever happen. But…it would be less crazy than the Chiefs giving up Tyreek in the middle of a dynasty run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warfelg Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Also just doing some research on possible trade candidates before cuts: Budda Baker - I know some like our safety group but I think he just puts it into another level. Grover Stewart - A bit older and a rotational DT, but I think that group could use an experienced guy like him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like our safeties, but not nearly enough for me to be upset if they traded for Baker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty happy with how our ILB room shook out, though. Kwon is a known quantity. Simmons is a guess. Probably a considerably higher ceiling, but also a much lower floor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was interested in Simmons until I watched more of him. Not nearly as good in coverage as you'd expect him to be. Athletic, but doesn't know how to use it. Still has a little upside, but not much. He is the 2nd coming of Taylor Mays. I imagine he would be about what Mark Barron was for us, so yeah...pass.

Also Arizona has done so bad with all these tweener players. Reddick is another one. As is Marcus Golden. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This dude could have been the next Shazier and legit told the coaches he would rather play DB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
