White looked good enough against 3rd stringers with no game plan thrown at him. I think if you had to put White in a regular season game against an actual first team defense it wouldn't turn out so well. IMO he has a long way to go before I can see him out there directing traffic and reading defenses on the fly when it really matters. White's got a nice arm, for sure. Just not ready for consumption yet - "it's not ripe".

Cooper Rush has a terrible arm, I honestly think it looks worse than last year. That said, he knows what he is doing at the line of scrimmage and can direct traffic out there. Rush knows where to go with the ball, he just has a hard time getting it there. He looked much better in preseason last year, IMO throwing with a lot more touch than he has shown this preseason.
I think that noodle arm would lead to Rush throwing four picks in a half like that kid in Buffalo. White would struggle mightily, but you can't teach that arm. I'd put a clipboard on him for a couple of years and maybe get a surprise. Meantime, I'd see if the Jets would take a midround pick for Bridgewater..

Bridgewater is solid and does not make big mistakes. He would be a good backup.

Best way to go if we contend. Rush and White could not pull us out if Dak goes down. A shame to lose a title because we did not have a reliable back up. imo

Jets should save Bridgewater until a starter gets hurt somewhere in the league.

may have to rely on the defense for the first 3 or 4 games...:eek:

side bar:
1. I'll say it again....Dallas needs in a huge way Earl Thomas and IMO, will look stupid as shit should another team like the raiders take him for a 2nd. A radio talking head today said Dallas has made what they think is a fair offer. We'll see...

2. this defense has a chance to be pretty darn special and somewhat legendary by past Dallas defense standards.

IF....Jaylon Smith looks to be what he may be...HOLY SHIT!
IF....DLAW is close to what he was last season
IF.... #94 is playing 16 games
IF...Taco is this preseason and not last season
IF....#24 appears is becoming a league top corner
IF...Sean Lee has some good luck all year

DEFENSE!
strange but true....and Earl would fill the largest eye sore of all.

I starting to get on board with the ET idea, as the defense looks like it could be very very good.

Best defense since the 90s

If this D had Earl Thomas, it would be top 5 in the League
It sure would. Love his intensity added to this defense. Come on Jerry. I don't have a problem with a defense carrying the team for once in 20 years.

I'm so torn on this. Not because of the idea of adding ET, but the idea of giving up a 2nd round pick to do it and then giving out a huge contract and also because I am high on Woods. The one thing that maybe pushed me over the edge to say "do it" was what I bolded above in your quote. There is no guarantee he signs here next year if he is a FA. The thought of another team closing the deal on him for a 2nd would definitely piss me off and make me wish we had done it. I think it's time to just make the move. If it takes a 2nd rounder, then so be it. i'm officially in. Do it.

This defense looks pretty good right now. They could get by without Earl, but with him they can be a lot better. This Offense is about field position. We aren't at our best when pinned deep. Adding a big piece to the defense that helps get us off the field on 3rd down would be pretty big for us. One of my concerns was road-blocking Woods since the team seems set on Heath starting and playing FT. Hopefully if they bring in ET they will play Woods next to him in the nickel.

Lots of ifs like Pday said, but I haven’t seen our team have this kind of possible Pass Rush since the 90s. Of course I’m thinking about it with Irvin included. I know Taco and Gregory are very green to the NFL. Im not necessarily talking about sacks. Pressure and off scheduled throws by the QB is what I want to see. The LBs- I can’t remember having 2 really good LBs at the same time. Sure Jaylon has some learning to do but he looks great so far. The DBs - Kris Ricard - has been huge. More growth needed out of this group but definitely a lot of potential. Definitely going to be fun.

I also think they need to trade for Earl. The offense is not good enough to carry the team. Earl would be a difference maker. I also like Woods. Now if the injuries continue I am not against moving Lewis to safety in an emergency. As much as I want Earl I just doubt the trade happens.

So true. The pass rush will be among the best...

Jaylon needs to be sent on blitzes much more this season. Jaylon lookING like a beast so far. There is nothing finesse about Jaylon and he is very good in the trenches. The availability of Irving and Gregory could make or break the pass rush.

Add David Irving after four games and Earl Thomas from jump...I know a 2nd is valuable, but I would give next years second and the following years 3rd. Earl Thomas makes this D Super Bowl caliber. Throw in 30 carries a game from Zeke and his backup, that's a tough combination

We are going to need Gregory and right now I'm not sure we will have him.

Two 3rd, OK. but not a second and a 3rd for me
