The Dallas Cowboys are Awful

why?

I'll second that question. A few years back (07) Gibbs wanted to win in preseason because the team's previous season was so downhill from preseason to game 16. This team won some tough games last year, the team doesn't need a psychological boost of winning a meaningless game. What the offense needs is time to gel, but I don't think Zorn cares about the final outcome that much if he sees some improvement.

Not many teams get shut out, but I think the Redskins might be just a little underrated. However, I would change QB's fast if we don't generate some kind of offense. Zorn should make sure he gives the team the best chance to win, even in a preseason game. I would rather see Chase starting at QB if we're going to put zeroes up on offense.
No offense, but didn't they try and do that twice this off season already? Tried to get Cutler and Sanchez, right?

I'd say the cowpokes had a great offseason w/one exception; no signficant picks or free agents on the o line. I think the Kitna pickup was smart as was Olshansky. And especially getting TO out will help big time.

You guys all forgot about Keith Brooking.
He's a bit old but should be an upgrade over Z. Thomas. Also, Carpenter is another young OLB that at least provides solid depth. Their draft should bolster some positions & improve special teams.

The g-men & iggles are getting most of the attention, but skins v. boyz might be what decides the div. I wouldn't sleep on either one.

I disagree man. I REALLY don't buy the addition by subtraction argument. You're losing a Hall of Fame WR and couldn't even make a first round draft pick. You can say losing all those guys was a good move, but people who are banking on rookies coming in and performing as well as those vets are going to be extremely disappointed.

I dont understand the couldn't make a first round pick part????

Dallas did not even have a first round pick, it was traded to Detroit.

Right. That's what I was saying.

There was a discussion about the Cowboys today on our local sports talk show. Losing Terrell Owens and replacing him with Roy Williams was probably a boneheaded move by Jerry Jones. Williams may turn out to be a decent receiver, but nowhere near what Owens was able to produce. Then on top of that you give up two 1st round picks for him??? Yikes.

Williams would have to give you a couple of MVP seasons and a bust in Canton for that deal make any sense.

Witten is a great tight end, and you have a nice running game with Marion Barber. But take it from fans who know a thing or two about piss-poor offense: a great tight end and a good running game are not enough to get the job done offensively.

Do teams actually double cover Roy Williams?

I agree that they grossly overpaid for Roy Williams. That said, their running game has a chance to be not good, but great. Barber is a stud, Felix Jones looked amazing last year before getting injured, and Tashard Choice looked more than capable as a #2 when he went down. Now Jones is healthy. Their O-line isn't the caliber of the Giants, but they will have a very potent 3 headed attack out of the backfield.

They still suck.

I agree! The Raiders are sure very talented and they could have been a very strong contender!

If Jones stays healthy he will be an exceptional threat. That said, he had a hurt toe, which for a runner can be difficult. Their O-line is barely the caliber of ours, let alone the Giants. They have an aging false start prone left tackle, the interior is ok, but aging, and their RT is average, with only one decent looking backup in Doug Free. Romo certainly will be more vulnerable. Appears he's learned how to hold on to the ball better though :(.

They still suck.
