Plus they are all young and only going to get better. Marshall is not a NFL caliber starting MLB at 225. What FB fears hitting a small undersized MLB? Goldston and Rocky are projects so far. And I would say Rogers has been a bust. Taylor is only good on intimidating and hitting people. Very poor in coverage. They are simply better players. Dallas stops the run better and rushes the passer MUCH better. And that is how you win in the NFL. Sometimes the truth hurts.

Yeah, I did forget Newman, fair enough. However, I do think you're mischaracterizing the situation simply because we're having an abnormally bad defensive year. Considering our defense was ranked 9th last season and we actually drafted young guys in addition to signing guys who should have been impact players now, there's no precedent that we were just going to suck this season.

If you want to say that recently, Dallas has gotten better value out of their draft picks than we have, fine. But it's pretty lame to suggest that they are the model of youth and building through the draft, and we're the opposite. That's just not true.

Man, what a difference a year makes. People are drinking the Kool-Aid one year and trying to sue people for making them drink it the next.

I'm not drinking any Kool Aid. I just think you build through the draft and add FA'a here and there. We do the opposite. The depth should be 2nd 3rd and 4th round draft picks that have been on your roster for a year or two or three and know the system. Our depth is going to be gone ( and is gone) because of giving up draft picks for Brunell ( 3rd rounder), Duckett (3rd rounder), LLoyd ( 3rd and 4th rounder), Campbell( extra 1st rounder), Portis (2nd rounder) and Rocky M(extra 2nd rounder). This is why when we have injuries we can't overcome them. We have to put in guys like Fox and Rumph. Goldston has played OK for a rookie but he got trampled against TB and Tenn. Last year we had to put in 50 year old Ray Brown becasue there was no depth along the offensive line. So this is why saving the draft picks is so important.
