Sucks. Loved him as a player and on my fantasy defense. He is a big risk taker so you got the bad with the good. Gave up big plays if he jumped a route and missed. But loved the picks. Lord please put a bubble around Micah Parsons
 
The Cowboys have an embarrassment of riches on D, especially in the secondary (thanks to the best personnel department in the league). They also have the best DC in the biz.

You have to expect injuries, which is why depth is the elephant in the room in today’s NFL. Losing Diggs won’t be anywhere close to the deciding factor in how far we go.

What the hell? How come no word about this until late in the week?
Sucks for Diggs and sucks for the Cowboys.

Nm.... happened in practice. RATFARTS
 
My guess is they go with DaRon Bland. He’s athletic & has a nose for the ball like Diggs (led the Cowboys in picks last season as a part-timer).

I can see him playing very well. Bland was highway robbery as a 5th-rounder.

Me: True on all points. I agree.

5 year old me: kicking and screaming on the floor 'NOOOOOOOOOOO"!
 
National media celebrating a season ending injury. Stay classy Bart Scott.

Glad to see 11 call you out as the true clown you are.

Honest question - have you seen any other media member doing this for any injury? I didn’t see this for Chubb.

I wouldn't call it celebrating. He said: "This is a major, major blow for the Cowboys and as Stephen A. always says, Just wait, something bad always happens."

What would you call it?

If Stephen A of all people thinks you crossed the line…there’s a pretty good chance you crossed the line

I'd call it a comment made in poor taste, not celebrating.
 
Very, very ugly. Same story, couldn't stop the run and couldn't finish drives. And the broken coverage was huge. Dak INT, another ugly moment.

Is Michael Gallup going to ever be good in fantasy again? If not, will he ever be good as a solid/NFL type WR again? Seems a lot of Cowboys players sign the big contract then kinda disappear into the bushes like Homer Simpson after that one good/contract year. All the Cowboys fans I know IRL convinced me the reason Amari Cooper was traded was b/c "he wasn't earning his salary"
Click to expand...
I don't know that Gallup was really all that good to begin with... I expected more when he was drafted in 2018. I thought he looked really athletic in college, but hindsight - that 2018 draft was a disaster for Dallas. We pretty much whiffed on most of our picks. The real tough thing is - Dallas could have had Mark Andrews with that Gallup pick. I think he was taken a few picks afterward and I'm pretty sure that was the year we drafted Dalton Schultz.

Dallas went pretty heavy on defense in this year's draft... I am hopeful in 2024 Dallas will address WR/RB via the draft. It does look like McCarthy wants us to be a ball control offense with strong defense. The 2024 WR group looks to be a lot bigger than the 2024 crew.
Click to expand...
Gotcha. I mean every team can look at a draft and pick a bad pick and say "But we could have had that guy instead"

Dallas for the most part are pretty good at drafting, especially in the 1st round. LVE was the 1st round pick this year and really looked studly those first couple years.

Picked up Gallup on waivers in a few leagues was kinda believing his hype. Will hold a few more weeks to see how it goes, but yeah considering the RB usage and the way they drafted, I'm with you, it seems ball control is what MM wants. Can't argue with the early results either.
Click to expand...
I don't think Gallup is worth a hold unless you are in a very deep league. He's never hauled in more than 66 catches and he is the 3rd receiver sharing duties with Tolbert some...

I'm not knocking our drafting - most of our players are all in-house guys (Micah, our O-Line, Pollard, Lamb, Diggs) - and I never go back and think, we could have drafted X player but it is worth mention that 2018 is probably our poorest draft in the decade (2018 overall wasn't a great class) but it is worth mentioning that we took Dalton Schultz and Mark Andrews was available in the 3rd. Same position as a guy we drafted... was a definite missed opportunity.

Hey! Gallup had 92 receiving yards on Sunday! His highest total since 2021.
 
I was surprised at the lack of urgency on the last drive. Great that they were having success running the ball, but also used a ton of time and when you're down two scores, time is kind of important. Dak made it irrelevant with the pick, but even if they score, there were only 3 minutes left. Just seemed off.

They were running the ball because McCarthy has no confidence in Dak Prescott throwing.

And must have a ton of confidence in his special teams ability to recover an onside kick.

Based on that game, I would suggest people pick up Rico Dowdle if he is out there, especially in larger leagues. Looked good and might get a bigger role moving forward if McCarthy truly has lost confidence in Dak. Plus as the handcuff to Pollard of course.

I did chuckle at Micah's tweet about a man trying to feed his family. Didn't Trevon sign a 5/97 deal recently? How big is his family?

Let Trey Lance take over in the Red Zone. He cannot be any worse than Dak. At least teams will have to respect the run element the QB brings.

He's slow and not elusive at all. That's one of the things the 49ers found out pretty quick. He seems like he would be a dual threat QB but he really isnt.

Have you SEEN Dak try to run? Shades of Bernie Kosar here. Lance has to be better than that.
 
Got at least another year with Dak on the team, either playing or dead money. I'm close to just wanting to see what Lance has to offer in the offense, losing faith Dak can ever get back to the form he had pre leg injury.

I think Dak will be fine. But you gotta accept he is pretty much a finished product at this point for what he is. Reminds me a ton of Donovan McNabb TBH, after Donovan decided he didn't want to run the ball anymore. A very good QB, won't be great. Will throw picks in the biggest moments when normally/career wise, you wouldn't think this to be the case when you look at his INT %.

Pulling the plug right now and inserting Lance who basically got in Dallas as late as Josh Dobbs got in AZ would not be the move. It would be throwing the towel in on the season, and not to mention the locker room ramifications if that were to happen. This team *loves* Dak. And still you guys have a really really good team in a really really bad conference. Even with Diggs out, that defense is something else. Gotta work on that run D though or its over but I believe Dan Quinn is smart enough to know what he needs to do to adjust moving forward.

yes, they seem to have very good depth.
however, this week the issue was the timing of the injury. Diggs Replacement really didnt get a lot of time to practice with the first team, so I figured there may be some issues this week.... That said I had hoped for better as I have the Boy's defense on my fantasy team.

Lance likely has just got to a point where he knows most of the playbook. That said.... knowing the playbook and understanding the nuances of the playbook and how all the reads go is another matter.

he wont be a legit threat to Daks job until (at the very earliest) next year..... and only if he can play well within the system.

I agree with most except for the whole Dak is a finished product part. I know what you mean to a point- but these guys get better every year. Usually by the time they figure out NFL defenses their bodies give out on them.

What messed up the whole Dak thing was setting him and the offense up to throw for 5k yards and painting themselves into a corner so they had to pay him.

I’m fine with Dak at QB - but at the right salary.

Exactly. Week to week league, again with the hyperbole. Last week we’re the best team in the NFL - this week The Cowboys Have Major Problems!!!!!

Wake me up week 16 and we’ll see how they’re playing then.

well, it looks like hes got a reasonable schedule in terms of strength of opponent. he could have a nice year.
his stats are down because the New York game was such a blowout early but in terms of wins, hes where you want him to be.
defense wont be as overpowering going forward so he will actually need to play. thats usually good for fantasy production.
