Across The Field
Oaky Afterbirth
But the last two SB winners also had something not available to Dallas at #4: an elite pass rusher (Bosa already gone), and Tom Brady.Yup, but hodgepodge was good enough for the last couple SB winners... last year Dallas was solid in rushing not bad but not top 8 (when you take out the running QB's effects on some of the top running teams I'd have called them tennish), with next to nothing given up on the positions (3.6 mil in cap space, some FA's and a 5th round pick).
I can see the debate that that draft capital could have been better used on an impact defensive player or trading back for more picks to help area's... But it does have potential to work out for them. And this is a team that has a few times made huge moves with RB's that have defined the franchise (Trade for Dorsett, trading Walker, drafting Emmitt).
I think Jerry sees Elliott as his final piece for creating another Big 3 as they had in the 90s when they won those titles. If Romo is healthy, there's a very real chance that Dallas could lead the league in scoring this year.
