Defense did more than enough even with young player mistakes to win the week two match up. Growing pains aren't going to go away overnight. I wouldn't say slow is the problem more than people staying on their man and not biting on double moves so often that leads to big plays. I still like the talent we have in the secondary and think they are going to grow into one hell of a unit. Too early in the season for me to give up hope in that. As stated previously we gave up 17 points on the road to a division foe. That isn't on the defense in my book for the loss and not the biggest of my concerns going forward at the moment.

Randall looked like he was expecting help in the middle and up top. He purposely moved into a trailing position.

Why am I focusing on the defense? Because if you have a great defense you can have Trevor Simian at QB and win, or you can win a SB with Trent Dilfer as your QB.

Randall turned his ankle in the first half. We've got guys who can't run due to injury and guys who are undrafted rookies out there. What do you THINK is gonna happen?

Let's do what we can to burn some clock and keep them off the field as much as possible.

Anyway, when we're giving up 205 to an extremely average WR like Marvin Jones, the week after we gave up a career high 180 to Diggs and nearly 300 to Bradford who'd been there for a week or two and all that coming the week after we gave up 320 to Blake Bortles... This is the right time to be concerned.

Our pass defense has been absolutely atrocious. I know the numbers don't tell the whole story, but so far it hasn't looked pretty, either. Our run defense is getting us a lot of longs 2nd and 3rd downs, but if that wasn't the case, we could've been giving up 30 points per game.

dfosterf (3h) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (3h) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (4h) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (4h) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (5h) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (5h) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (5h) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (5h) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (5h) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (5h) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (6h) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (6h) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (8h) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (8h) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (8h) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (8h) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (9h) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (9h) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (9h) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

packerfanoutwest (10h) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (12h) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done

dfosterf (12h) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy

dfosterf (13h) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it

Mucky Tundra (19h) : @kuhnj30 Micah Freaking Parsons

Mucky Tundra (19h) : A LOT of buzz on the Bird App regarding Parsons; even Schefter is saying it's serious
