Looking back at last year, who would of thought our defense would turn out like this?

Never would have guessed we would be so banged up and such poor tacklers. Its very depressing. I love hard nosed defense.

Flowers was short, Merling had an injury concern.

If they wouldn't have started out good

Flowers = Carroll

Merling = Harrell (Two injury plagued DL in a row - I'm sure noone would have had a problem with that 🙂

Don't remember hearing this when we were 13-3 and deep in the playoffs.

Funny how that works.

Pat Lee looked good last week besides that BS pass interference call. I wanted Ted Thompson to trade down and nab Merling, but I can understand the injury concerns especially after Justin Harrell's struggles so far.

From what I can gather, and this is totally tentative because I don't think drafts ca be judged until two to three years later.

Good Picks

Jordy Nelson - contributes in return game and as 4th wide out

Pat Lee - could be a starter down the road

Josh Sitton - was starter in training camp and is working his way back

Matt Flynn - surpassed Brohm and is impressing everyone. great pick.

Bad Picks

Brian Brohm - looks lost and tenative, but hey so did Rodgers his first
season

Jermichael Finley - haven't seen alot but has had two very costly and
stupid penalties on special teams

Jeremy Thompson - no effort out there which disappoints me

Brett Swain - hes a late 7th rounder so cut Ted Thompson some slack

Not enough Info

Let me first say I don't think we've seen enough on any drafted player who's played less than three seasons, but... I think JerMichael Finley will be a decent TE in the future for us.

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (8-Jan) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (8-Jan) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (8-Jan) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (8-Jan) : Cowboys denied Bears request
