Is Irving going to play? Can he really contribute?

As with RG, you can't take time off and be your old self.

It's all about being in shape. History is littered with players that took weeks or more off and came back as if they didn't miss a beat and even full or most of seasons if injury struck. If Irving is in shape he should be good. Gregory too. No excuse for being out. At 25 Gregory should be able to execute a speed rush in his sleep if he is in shape. There was no issue in the preseason and it's not like he has never been with the team in the past.

I feel like this is a turning point game for this season, one way or another. The Cowboys have lost a couple of games they could have won and there is a huge difference between 3-3 and 2-4.

On a side, I think it's an even bigger game for JG and Dak. For Garrett, this team is built to play close games, and his game management does not match up with the talent on hand. JG and Linehan both want to throw the football, and this team has no passing game. If Bill Parcells had this same squad, would the team be winning or losing these close games? And to Dak... 7 OFFENSIVE TD's in 5 games, 31st in the NFL. Many teams have scored 5 in a game. Our WR's are terrible, but our OL, RB's and Defense are not. You can't get a bump to $20 million per if you can't produce more than about a TD a game...

hope you are right, but I have a hard time seeing how RG could provide much this season especially in the roll he is currently in. I was right so far and i don't see it happeing until closer to end of seasson
As for Irving, I think he is going to need at least a few games.

Gregory had a good game last week supposedly. He played 40 snaps. Some of that was due to Taco being banged up. He had a couple of Qb hits and quite a few pressures.

well folks in a edge of the seat, fingernail biting, twisting and turning, breath holding slugfest the Jags win 6-3 in a game about a exciting a watching wind blow across a Kansas wheat field in May.

Can you feel the excitement in my post ?

hope Im wrong

JMHO

To be clear, I'm not saying that I think Irving is actually in football shape. I don't know if he is and suspect he may not be. My point was that it is more being in shape that matters than getting weeks of practice reps in. Irving has an excuse if he isn't ready because of this. Gregory does not. There should have been no reason to expect him to need half a season after being in camp and playing in preseason games. He should have been ready week 1 to play just as he was in the preseason. It's not like he is being asked to play every down.

Off topic/ didn’t want to start a thread on them. Anyone watching the Skins. I’m sure the Panthers have something to do with it, but Smith looks real erratic.

I see him playing tons of of plays. He should be only playing on passing downs but he is not.

BTW, what site would show how many D snaps someone took?

 

[DT LUNA]

Gallup!! Is he in?

 

[UK Cowboy]

Fantastic start for the Cowboys, best Dak has played. Gathers needs more PT!

 

[DT LUNA]

Dak needs to quit running the ball so much before he gets hurt.

 

[ArlingtonCowboys100]

I think Rico needs more snaps

 

[ArlingtonCowboys100]

Crazy block by zeke

 

[ArlingtonCowboys100]

Fuck yeah

 

[Schmoopy1000]

Dak looks like he has some confidence today. maybe he felt challenged by the Jax Defense.

We just need someone to challenge every week & he will play good LOL

 

[ArlingtonCowboys100]

Idk, I think the offense is better when dak runs and this jaxonville defense is so aggressive that dak can do this the entire game.

 

[Godstree]

woo hoo


Dallas D is taking it to them and Our O is taking advantage of their time on field.

I don't mind Dak running but not so many designed for him to run

Not with a 24 pt lead. Only takes one run to ruin our season.

 

[Manster7588]

Full disclosure, I did not like our chances today. Not our offense vs. Jacksonvilles D.

 

[Manster7588]

CBS Called it a win, now Garrett has too.
