Defense is the issue and always has been. You cannot be the best player in the league if you are a minus defender. Jokic figured it out. Luka needs to.

The craft beer rotation is legitimately good now. They had a Community Brewing Mosaic IPA last game that was excellent. Still $15 but at least it is quality.

The elote in a cup is a sleeper pick. $8 for something that actually tastes like real Mexican street corn and not stadium garbage. Highly recommend.

The Cowboys should be thinking about quantity over quality in this draft. They have stars. They need depth. More picks means more chances to find $2M contributors.

The math supports trading back in most scenarios. Two shots at quality starters is better than one shot at a slightly better starter. The Cowboys need roster depth, not one more star.

Always get authentication. My uncle bought a "signed" Emmitt Smith helmet at a flea market for $100. Took it to Beckett and it was fake. $100 lesson.

Two wins lost to missed field goals is absolutely a fireable offense for a kicker. In a 17-game season, every game matters and you cannot leave points on the field from inside 45 yards.

Cowboys at two feels right but it also feels like every year we say "if the young players develop" and they never quite do. At some point the ceiling has to become reality.

This is a coaching problem as much as a roster problem. If your scheme is literally causing injuries at certain positions, the scheme needs to adapt.

The parking cost is criminal. $75 to park on asphalt in Arlington. Meanwhile Mavs games you can find free street parking in Victory Park after 6 PM.

The 72-hour board lock is interesting. Means the Cowboys are not swayed by last-minute rumors or media narratives. The board is the board.

10-7 feels right. Not good enough to be a real contender but good enough to make the playoffs and lose in the wild card round. The Cowboys special.

Weeks 4 through 7 is a gauntlet. Eagles, 49ers, Bills, Ravens. If we come out of that 2-2 I will be thrilled. 1-3 is more realistic.

25 points

The safety pick in round 2 is going to help the corners more than people realize. Having a reliable safety over the top changes how aggressively you can play at the line of scrimmage.

Bill Parcells saved this franchise from irrelevance. People forget how bad the Dave Campo years were. Parcells deserves credit for building the core that carried Dallas for a decade.

The Star practices in Frisco are solid if you cannot fly to California. Not the same atmosphere but you still get to see the team up close and it is free.

14 points

The pay situation is genuinely problematic. A global brand generating millions and the performers make $15-20 an hour. That needs to change.

23 points

Splitting with Philly is fine but the Week 6 red zone interception still haunts me. You have CeeDee one-on-one and you throw into double coverage. Decision-making under pressure is still a question mark for Dak.

Restructuring is not free money. Every time you convert salary to bonus, you are borrowing from the future. The bill always comes due.

Super Bowl XXVII is the gold standard. 52-17 with 9 turnovers forced. That roster was maybe the greatest team ever assembled.

28 points

Jackie Smith dropping that TD in the Super Bowl is the most painful play in franchise history. A catch and the Cowboys win their third straight Super Bowl. Instead we lost to Pittsburgh.

16 points

Parsons 58.4 run defense grade is alarming but also expected. You do not pay a guy $28M to set the edge. You pay him to get sacks. The roster around him needs to handle the run.

27 points

The Star in Frisco is incredible for families. Free parking, free entry, kids can run around on the turf after the game. Jerry actually did something right with that facility.

14 points

The sack rate under blitz is the one number that concerns me. In the playoffs, teams blitz more because the stakes are higher. That is where his weakness gets exposed.

3 points

People compare him to Mahomes because of the contract. If Dak was making $30M nobody would complain. The issue is value relative to cap hit.

10 points

The safety pick in round 2 is my favorite selection. That 4.42 speed with the coverage instincts is exactly what this defense has been missing since the Darren Woodson era.
