The time to throw correlation with offensive line injuries is something I have never considered before. It makes perfect sense though. Every extra tenth of a second is more stress on those joints.

Sunday Ticket at $349 is actually a decent deal when you break it down per game. That is about $20 per game for every NFL game. I spend more than that on a single beer at AT&T Stadium.

Will McClay does not get enough credit nationally. His hit rate on first and second round picks is among the best in the league. The Parsons pick in particular was a masterclass — everyone knew Parsons was great but McClay pushed for him over a quarterback.

One-score game regression is the key insight here. 3-5 in close games is unlucky by any statistical model. If the turnover luck normalizes, this team wins 10 games.

The slot corner signing was underrated. 74.2 PFF grade for $5M per year is excellent value. Smart, steady, and frees the young outside guys to take chances.

Year 3 breakout is a real trend at cornerback. The position has the steepest learning curve in the NFL. I am cautiously optimistic about our young guys.

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.

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

Eagles fan living in Dallas here. That rivalry is real in this city. I wore my Eagles jersey to work after Week 6 and three different people refused to talk to me. I love it.

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

The Leon Lett Thanksgiving play is hilarious in hindsight but I remember my dad throwing the remote at the TV. Different energy in the moment.

The Dez catch still makes my blood boil. I was at that game. The stadium went from the loudest I have ever heard it to complete silence in about 3 seconds.

The hybrid scheme was the issue all year. You could see the defensive tackles hesitating on snap because they were not sure which gap to fill. That half-second of hesitation is an extra 2 yards for the running back.

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.

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.

Day 2 is where this draft class will be won or lost. The round 3 nose tackle is boring but we gave up 5.1 yards per carry last year. Something had to change.

Build it in Fair Park. Revitalize that entire area. The DART access is already there. It would transform South Dallas.

The 37.2% pressure rate is insane. Dak could be Patrick Mahomes and still struggle behind that line. You cannot evaluate a quarterback when he is running for his life every other snap.

You cannot pay a QB $55M and a WR $34M and expect to have a complete roster. That is $89M on two players. The math does not work under the salary cap.

Bring a canopy. I cannot stress this enough. I got sunburned so badly at the Week 1 tailgate last year that I could not sleep that night. September in Arlington is no joke.

Parsons needs a ring to be in the conversation for number one. Ware never got one in Dallas either but at least he carried those mid-2000s teams to the playoffs.

Parsons is the most talented defender the Cowboys have ever had. I watched every game of DeMarcus Ware and Parsons is a different animal in terms of pure athleticism.

Parsons had 13.5 sacks and it still was not enough to carry this defense. That tells you how bad the secondary was. PFF had two of our starting corners below 55 grade.

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.
