Zim is an old school hardass, but once you're one of his guys he will lay his job on the line for you. His players love him and play freaking hard
this certainly is how Woodsen tells it, and Woody's opinions have always seemed solid.
Woody is the man. I think Zim Sat down with Micah and showed him how he will move him around and find the best matchup to whip someone's ass instead of just playing him at the same DE spot down after down and has Micah really excited. Zim is a sharp old bird.
My only glass half empty thought is Micah loved Quinn too. Ever said he'd follow Quinn if he left.
Very fair.
No.
I thought things would get better with this team when Stephen role increased. I was dead wrong.
The trading of the 4th was terrible for the same reasons the Lance trade was terrible. Nothing against Lance or Mingo. The trades were terrible because since Stephen has risen to power, the Cowboys hide behind the cap because Stephen doesn't want to convert cash to signing bonus to work the cap. They could have created $80M in cap space this year, they could actually have over $100M in cap space next year...and that's with Dak and Lamb on the books and Micah extended to $40M per....but they won't. They will pretend everyone is stupid enough to believe they can't create all the space they want and sign literally anyone they want and sign scrap heap FA's again. So if our ONLY source of upgrading talent is draft and develop, you can't trade a 4th for Lance when you always planned to resign Dak and you can't trade a 4th for Mingo when that 4th will be close to a top 100 pick. It's idiotic. They could have had Mingo for a 6th and that's per Carolinas people, not the national guys.
Stephen’s only role seems to be his mishandling of the cap and contract negotiations. I don’t think he ever played a role in player evaluation and never understood why people kept saying he was taking over
Yep. The problem remains to be Jerry. Jerry is going to have another bad night on Monday is my prediction. This is a national broadcast and he not going to be happy. Non Cowboys fans are going to laugh at Jerry.
Cowboys have a great opportunity next year...if they are willing to spend....which I highly doubt. They can easily get to 100M in space including Micah already resigned. They will likely have a last place schedule. They will likely have a top 10, perhaps even top 5 in a draft that has some great players at the top. Its all there for them. But so is another yacht for Stephen
hard to say for me.
