Arlington. Two kids. Coaches little league.
The elote in a cup is a sleeper pick. $8 for something that actually tastes like real Mexican street corn and not stadium garbage. Highly recommend.
Easy to say trade back until you are sitting there at 14 and the best edge rusher in the class is staring you in the face. Best player available should always win.
Always get authentication. My uncle bought a "signed" Emmitt Smith helmet at a flea market for $100. Took it to Beckett and it was fake. $100 lesson.
Three special teams coordinators in four years explains everything. How can a unit develop chemistry and discipline when the scheme changes every year?
Two wins lost to missed field goals is absolutely a fireable offense for a kicker. In a 17-game season, every game matters and you cannot leave points on the field from inside 45 yards.
Washington is the team I am most worried about long-term. Their young core is developing fast and they have cap space to add pieces. In 2-3 years they could be the division favorite.
This is a coaching problem as much as a roster problem. If your scheme is literally causing injuries at certain positions, the scheme needs to adapt.
The parking cost is criminal. $75 to park on asphalt in Arlington. Meanwhile Mavs games you can find free street parking in Victory Park after 6 PM.
Jerry gets too much blame and too much credit for draft picks. The reality is somewhere in the middle. He has a good scouting staff and mostly lets them do their job.
Weeks 4 through 7 is a gauntlet. Eagles, 49ers, Bills, Ravens. If we come out of that 2-2 I will be thrilled. 1-3 is more realistic.
Year 3 breakout is a real trend at cornerback. The position has the steepest learning curve in the NFL. I am cautiously optimistic about our young guys.
Wade Phillips is the most underrated of the bunch. That 2009 team was talented and he was a better game-day coach than people remember. The 2010 collapse was more about injuries than coaching.
Garrett at C-plus is generous. Nine and a half years and one playoff win. The clapping memes exist for a reason. Source: my wasted Sundays from 2011 to 2019.
Oxnard is beautiful. We turned the training camp trip into a family vacation. Camp in the morning, beach in the afternoon, dinner in Ventura. Highly recommend.
Making the Team has been my guilty pleasure show for years. The fact that it has run for 16 seasons tells you everything about the brand power.
Splitting with Philly is fine but the Week 6 red zone interception still haunts me. You have CeeDee one-on-one and you throw into double coverage. Decision-making under pressure is still a question mark for Dak.
Trading CeeDee would be franchise malpractice. He is 27 and in his prime. You do not trade a top-5 receiver to save cap space.
Super Bowl XXVII is the gold standard. 52-17 with 9 turnovers forced. That roster was maybe the greatest team ever assembled.
Jackie Smith dropping that TD in the Super Bowl is the most painful play in franchise history. A catch and the Cowboys win their third straight Super Bowl. Instead we lost to Pittsburgh.
Parsons 58.4 run defense grade is alarming but also expected. You do not pay a guy $28M to set the edge. You pay him to get sacks. The roster around him needs to handle the run.
The Star in Frisco is incredible for families. Free parking, free entry, kids can run around on the turf after the game. Jerry actually did something right with that facility.
Top 10 is fair. He is better than Cousins, better than Goff, probably better than Hurts. But he is not Mahomes, Allen, or Lamar. That tier is locked.
The EPA data supports this but the eye test does not always. There are moments where Dak looks lost in the pocket and no stat captures that feeling.
The safety pick in round 2 is my favorite selection. That 4.42 speed with the coverage instincts is exactly what this defense has been missing since the Darren Woodson era.
Build it in Fair Park. Revitalize that entire area. The DART access is already there. It would transform South Dallas.
The 37.2% pressure rate is insane. Dak could be Patrick Mahomes and still struggle behind that line. You cannot evaluate a quarterback when he is running for his life every other snap.
