At this point anybody making projections on the 2018 Cowboy Football team is flying blind but this seems to be a pretty rational take on the determining factors.
The Cowboys are never just terrible but there’s a lot that isn’t known about this team. My best guess says that their returning talent at OL, “cowboy-backer,” and RB allow them to run the ball fairly well and that either Taylor Cornelius or Dru Brown gives them solid play distributing the ball to a legitimately talented group of wideouts.
I’m a fan of new DC Jim Knowles but I doubt he gets the secondary in good working order in year one.
