The #Cowboys are in talks with FA DT Dontari Poe, source said. It’s not done yet, but could be by the end of today if all goes well. Another potential big-name DT who spent last year with the #Panthers.

Had we stayed with the 4-3 full-time last season we would've been fine. Ron saw the writing on the wall and had to make some sort of change - a change that typically requires multiple offseasons to complete - to keep moving forward. The guys we had were quality but the transition and injury to KK really muddled things up. We lacked a true OLB/DE for a 3-4 scheme which apparently Tepper didn't see any need to fix. 

Had we thrown in a Clowney or something similar last season I expected things would've been a bit different.

You mean like the season before where we had a record low sacks. Yeah totally would have worked. Smh you guys forget quickly.

Dontari Poe closing in on a deal with Cowboys is even more evidence of team switching to 3-4. Interestingly Poe played nose tackle in Carolina 3-4 last season with newly signed Cowboy Gerald McCoy at end.

And finished last in the league in rush D. Oh wee mayne, Dallas.

The 3-4 conversion was mostly lip service. We played with four down linemen the vast majority of the time last year.

    • I see progress and improvements. We aren't the same team we were even at the beginning of this year. You want to harp on the past while I am all about the present and future. Do I know thinks are going to be great moving forward? Actually I don't but I prefer to look at the good instead of the bad. Since he is surely going to be the QB the rest of this year barring injury, I am going to root for him to succeed instead of fail. I always said if we are going to finish at 500 for the year I prefer we win at home since I will be there and want to see wins and crying opposing fans like the cowboys. So far mission accomplished. Now we have to show we can win on the road.
    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
