Dallas Cowboys fans biggest fear confirmed by top NFL Analyst!

I hate to say it, but he right. [Music] What’s good people? It’s your boy Mr. Rome Cowboys fan talk right back like I never left. What’s going on with y’all man? Happy Monday. I come to y’all today with a excellent article, an excellent um analysis by a gentleman named Bill Barnwwell. And Bill Barnwwell is one of the rare people in the I can’t call him content creator reporter space, analyst space. Um he’s one of ESPN’s high tiered NFL analysts that is nonbias. He reminds me of like Mina Kimes. He doesn’t release stories with an angle to try to get clicks. He’s not a like a TV personality. He is just someone that numbers and analysis. nothing like with a u underlying agenda or narrative he’s trying to push. So when I read read his articles, I I take them seriously. I don’t take them as like, “Oh, he’s just a Cowboys hater,” which is a lot of people. A lot of people. Um no, Bill, when I was reading this article, the thing that stood out to me is that, you know, I agree with a lot of it. I did. And this one I agree with, too. um the thing that he highlighted the most. I’ll read some of it and shout out to Cowboys Wire. Um they went and posted it. Unless you want to buy that ESPN membership, you ain’t getting this. So, shout out to Cowboys Wire. I appreciate them. Um the article reads, um, and who else who posted this from Cowboys Wire? Um Angel Torres. Shout out to Angel Torres. So, I can just give people their credit where it’s due cuz this isn’t this isn’t from Rome. I don’t mind giving out the credit. um he he he writes in an article basically the additions of George Pick and certainly helped the offense that had been held together by CD Lamb. So basically in 2023 when we had um Tony Pard and and stuff like that our offense and and before this is two three year two years ago um Brandon Cooks. So he had a little bit more cash in the league. He was literally more of a legitimized wide receiver too at the time. He was he was getting a little older. I think Cooks was at the time was like 29. So it was like, okay, in the back half, but um he might still have some juice cuz still run. He can still run. But um his biggest problem was his stature. He’s a little bit shorter and that’s maybe why he’s been traded around the league so much. But we was ranked seventh in weapons, offensive weapons in the league. Um, according to Bill Barwell, not PFF or whatever. Everybody got their own rankings. And I can respect that, you know. Um, that year, no one showed up in the playoffs before someone jumps in here like, “Yo, so what happened that we just did not show up?” Y’all saw what happened in the Packers game. We was balling out throughout the regular season. We had our moments of bad fortune, but in the playoffs, no one showed up. Not just Dak. Dak didn’t show up. CD didn’t show up. You know what I’m saying? A lot of people didn’t show up in that game, especially, but the defense, too. Coaching, it was just bad all around. So, this isn’t about pointing the finger in that game. Um, it’s just about acknowledging that although we did have the legitimate weapons, it was a complete failure. No excuses. No excuses. Um, then in 2024, we dropped down to 18th because we really we went with like Rico D at running back. Um, Cooks was a year older, but you know, the room wasn’t fleshed out. We was running like Jaylen Brooks out there and Jaylen Tobert out there and it just wasn’t it wasn’t what we wanted it to be. That’s the best way to put it. You know what I’m saying? Offensive skills really got exposed. U Ferguson regressed. It was a bad year. Um, so this year, let’s get to this year. Let’s talk about this year and why this stood out to me. Um he said last season was a step backwards for CD Lamb. But it seems reasonable to chalk up um some of this decline at Dak Prescott’s injuries even in the felt even though it felt like a down year before a shoulder injury led the Cowboys to wave the white flag. He ranked 17th among wide receivers in yards per route. Working so soft or so often out of the slot he benefits from having a quarterback with elite accuracy Prescott and willingness to put the ball into tight spaces like Prescott. He might be a little more susceptible to a change under center than Jefferson or Jard Chase would, which represents a high a very tiny gap at the top of the wide receiver food chain. Right? He talking about CD Lamb. Um, and basically just saying that CD Lamb, although he’s the best weapon, he needed some help. He needed some help, y’all. That’s it. That’s the thing that stands out. Um, but give me give me give me a second. Um, I wanted to focus on give me one second. I’m looking through the article. I wanted to focus on the fact that Barnwwell points out that although the Cowboys have loaded back up with with with George Pickins and it’s got us to 11th and he said it’s mainly because it’s mainly because of the wide receiver group. Yes, our wide receiver room one move made it a strong group. CD Lamb, George Pickkins, now you have Jonathan Mingo at three, you have Tolbert at three, you can have Tan Holden. like we we have a a a a log jam of receivers that can get in there, but he highlights running back. And this is where it gets not fun to talk about. We would probably be in the top five if we took running back seriously. Top five, literally. Cuz the teams that they’re mentioning in the top five, that’s the difference. They had the running back groups like the Ravens and the Eagles, you know what I’m saying? the 49ers because Christian McCaffrey Christian McCaffrey is healthy. They’re push propelled forward by the running back. Some teams have both. If we just had a running back because right now we’re running out there with unknowns. Unknowns. They were known years past but unknowns now. Javvante Williams is the injury has it taken his career? That’s the question, right? And then you have Miles Sanders. Was he really just not utilized in Carolina or is he washed up? I have to not even I only know I want to cuz I do want to. I want him to be good because we need him to be good. But me wanting and needing something doesn’t mean it’s going to happen. I can want Miles Sanders to be good all we want. He really might be washed and then we’re we’re we’re we’re asked out because Jaydon Blue, that’s not fair. That’s not fair. Third round rookie be a all world allp pro. That’s not fair. So right now, seriously, what we need is we need someone from that group to step up cuz that is the line of demarcation. He even includes Jake Ferguson as a positive. He’s Jake Ferguson had a concussion and a knee injury last year um to sideline him a little bit. He’s assuming that he’s going to come back good. So that means we got a solid tight end, top 15 tight end, right? We have a top tier receiving core in my eyes. You can say um they’re not good. They’re at least top 10. It’s hard to argue outside of that. So you got that, you got top 10 receiver, you got a top 15 tight end, but the running back group is literally like bottom of the NFL because you just don’t know if somebody ascends from that group, then we will be top 10 in in in in weapons. But right now, you got to put us at he put us at 11th. I understand this might want to put us towards the middle, and it’s literally because the running back room is swinging the pendulum so far away. It’s it’s messed up. is really messed up. He highlights he’s just saying like he doesn’t understand why um he doesn’t understand why we don’t take like fun flyers on running backs like a Nick Chub, you know what I’m saying? Or something like that. Like trying to go like, you know what I’m saying? I was like, go get Damen Pierce. Go get you somebody else to make this room like all right, no matter what they going to be okay. I don’t know if we’re waiting, but this isn’t the time to wait. We should have been out there and went and got someone. So, it puts us in a weird predicament, but I I do want to know what y’all think in the comments, man. The Cowboys is 11th because of Pickkins and CD Lamb. And this this this just to let y’all know, this um actual ranking takes quarterbacks out. Quarterbacks are out. So, every team has the same level quarterback. It’s chess receivers, tight ends, running backs, etc. Chester weapons as 11th. Yeah. So even like Pat Mahomes and stuff like that, that’s why they cuz they the Chiefs would be the number one probably because the quarterback would swing the pendulum so far. This is just the fact that is is the weapons good enough and we just I feel like we need another running back. We should have traded for one, a lower tier trade or we should have went ahead and drafted one higher. And Jaydon Blue is I’m praying he going to turn into like Baby Alvin Kamar. But we got to see it. We got to see it. This is not an assumption. I can’t tell y’all definitively anything. But look, it’s your boy Mr. Rome, man. I just wanted to talk about that. Um, also tap in later. Might might hit y’all with a cover three. So, turn your notifications on. I appreciate y’all. I love y’all. Aalo.
