Andy Reid will be the next Cowboys coach.

All those coaches have a very big thing in common(excluding Fewell because he was an interim coach): they were/are all bottom-five in the NFL in SALARY. This organization, Ralph Wilson in particular, has never placed a premium on coaching or management. Only one time has Wilson gone out and got a top-notch coach in Chuck Knox in 1978, who promptly turned around a terrible Bills team and took them to the playoffs in '80 and '81, only to get into a contract squabble with Ralph Wilson (can anybody sense a theme here!!!) and leave for the Seahawks, promptly turning around that team. He got lucky hiring Bill Polian, who was a nobody at the time. He got lucky with Marv Levy, who was every bit a re-tread when he was hired, and one can certainly argue that a coaching change was warranted after the Redskins Super Bowl loss or the first Dallas loss.The problem here is that in 80's and 90's, you could win some games and have good seasons with having a very talented roster because teams that were less talented than you were took much longer to turn around into winners. That is not the case today. The NFL is ALL about coaching. And if it's not all about coaching it is certainly 80-20 coaching to talent. Yes, QBs are very important, but you don't win Super Bowls with bottom of the barrel coaching hires.

On the fitz int: Its the NFL, you hit an 8 yard pass and ice the game. Can't fault the pass call, but I can definitely fault the throw. Both the decision and the execution. As far as the timeouts are concerned, gailey has some serious time management deficiencies.

I think he might get activated before that if the season starts to get away from them record-wise. If we lose the next two games, we may see him get in there. The "he's not ready" talk is just to keep him in-active and not seem like we are blatantly keeping him in-active for the draft pick.

Nix has done a decent job adding talent to the team. We are in year 3 of a massive rebuild. When he took over, this roster resembled an expansion team. I'll give him more time.

he also says that the constantly bring in outside players, which is wrong. Guys on the team are getting paid. Kelsay, Jackson, Johnson, Fitz, Kyle Williams. All got paid before we started bringing in outside FAs.

Nix traded for him. Not Gailey. It would seem they are not exactly seeing eye to eye on the roster.

Why trot Fitzpatrick back out there? Get Jackson some reps!

BINGO!!! Anyone still like George Wilson at SS?

If he has schobel's sack numbers and is stout against the run, i'd be happy. Schobel always got blown up in the run game.

No intensity on D. The game is over unless we turn the ball over. No one going for strips. Nothing.

Terrible onside kick.

If more teams had allowed 2nd string QBs to play all 16 games, I doubt those guys would be leading the league in Ints. There is a big difference between those guys and fitz. Fitz - 7th round talent, weak arm. All those other guys are top 10 draft picks or a hall of fame qb.

Maybe we are confusing a pass rush with an entire defensive scheme. We have no connection to the Giants defense.

Everyone was passing on randle because because they thought he had poor work ethic. After teams passed him over for some other receivers in the late first, I think he or his agent called around to see what was going on and some teams told him they were concerned with his work ethic. Saw it on twitter about the start of day two. Maybe this factored into our decision.

Didnt the QB who the Packers drafted in the 7th round go to tenn-Chattanooga where Nix once coached back in the 90s? Pretty sure I remember him talking about still having some good contacts there? Maybe he was the guy. I don't think Nix is the type to take a mid-round QB like Cousins. He seems like a go with a big time prospect kind of guy with regards to the QB.

True to an extent. Some of the better LBs in the game still play at around 6'0 230 lbs. Lawrence Timmons, Jon Beason. Keith Bullock was in the 230's but he was taller. Derrick Brooks, the best 43 OLB of recent memory was 6'0 225. It just depends what you are asking them to do. I think you would prefer size at the position but not at the expense of speed and athleticism. If they can play, they can play.

David fits the defense just fine. Joe B just is saying that because he is on the smaller side for SLB, but when the Cowboys won the second Super Bowl with this style of defense they had Dixon Edwards and Darrin Smith as the OLBs, both were 6' 230ish. Size is secondary to Speed and Athleticism.

Both positions of need. Whoever grades higher.

How about Janoris Jenkins? Would really solidify the secondary.

1. Gilmore - Worried 2. Barron - Very Happy 3. Kuechly - Pleased 4. Floyd - Worried 5. Other LT - Pissed 6. Kalil - Happy 7. Tannenhill - Cautious Optimism If we pass on Barron or Kuechly to take Floyd or Gilmore or a LT or Tannenhill, I will not be happy.

Barron is the best player of those 3.

Using the Madden ratings would be a more reputable grading of players. Bleacher Report is garbage Internet content.

Willis ran a 4.37 at his Pro Day, FWIW.

I'm sorry, what? Top 2 or 3 safety in the league? Really? He played well, but the defense still gave up tons of plays up the middle of the field. He is a good player, but he will not be factor in whether or not we draft a safety at #10. Despite the fact that I like Mark Barron and like the idea of taking him at 10, I do like your trade down scenario but don't think the Cowboys are going to give up a 2nd rounder to move up 4 spots. If that offer was on the table though, I think the Bills take it.
