Halfway through the season, the team admitted that idea was a failure by trading for Amari Cooper. Entering this offseason program, the receiver group for the Cowboys has gone through quite the face-lift. With a clear-cut number one in Amari Cooper, the Cowboys have one of the bright young playmakers in the NFL but what about his supporting cast? Where do the Cowboys pass catchers rank as a whole?19th. Really, 19th?According to Bleacher Report, that’s where the Cowboys rank at receiver, which isn’t far from where they were last year. Here is their thought process:If you look at last year’s production for the Cowboys and all the teams ahead of them, 19th doesn’t seem like much to argue about.TeamRankRec. YdsRec.TDY/RecHowever, we’re not talking 2018 numbers, we’re talking about this season. Every roster has faced a little change here and there and having the Cowboys rank 19th seems a little low when you look at several rosters ahead of them. 17th. The San Francisco 49ersThe 49ers have too many unanswered questions to definitively rank them higher than the Cowboys. Tight end George Kittle was phenomenal last season and set the record at his position with 1,377 yards. Kittle carried the 49ers offense for the majority of the season through a shuffling of quarterbacks after Jimmy Garoppolo went down with injury.The top receiver options for the 49ers after Kittle were Dante Pettis and Marquise Goodwin, two guys that missed a total of nine games combined last season. The 49ers picked up both Deebo Samuel and Jalen Hurd in this year’s draft, two prospects with enormous ceilings; however, the NFL isn’t always too kind to rookie wideouts. San Francisco has plenty of potential but let’s see the rookies play first.16th. New England Patriots“Whoa there, kid! Don’t you dare slandah the Pats!”Look, Tom Brady is going to make this work, he always does and always will. Though it stings, Rob Gronkowski retiring is not a stake through the heart of the Patriots plans, they have been used to playing a few without him. The Patriots went out and picked up former Bronco, Demaryius Thomas who could use a change after his numbers took a nosedive since his extension a few years back.Still, the number one option is Julian Edelman Damien Wilson Jersey Stitched , a 30+ year-old slot receiver who just took home the Super Bowl MVP honors and a brand new extension as a result. Edelman has been Brady’s go-to guy but in order for him to really be effective, you need real threats to present themselves on the perimeters. N’Keal Harry is an interesting pick up for a team who doesn’t like spending first-rounders on receivers. Again, this is one of the hardest positions to translate from college to the pros. With Philip Dorsett and Austin Seferian-Jenkins, there are two guys that Brady will find ways to move the ball with. There is potential here but to say it’s clearly better than the Cowboys’ depth chart is questionable.14th. Cincinnati BengalsIt’s arguable that this Bengals roster wasn’t better than the Cowboys in 2018 but Cincinnati is betting on a coaching change and a healthy A.J. Green to change that. That’s a big “if” as Green missed seven games last season and will be 31 at the start of the season. Thankfully, the Bengals have Tyler Boyd, who broke out with a 1,000+ yard season.John Ross has had an underwhelming NFL career after being selected in the first round several seasons ago. C.J. Uzomah gives Andy Dalton a big tight end target that is likely to usurp Tyler Eifert, who can’t remain healthy. Joe Mixon is a powerful running back but he didn’t amount to much in the passing game. This offense will have to rely on the tandem of Boyd and Green, which on paper is a fine 1-2 punch if they’re at full-strength. However, the Bengals receiving corps is not one to place above the Cowboys with confidence.13th. Pittsburgh SteelersThe Steelers are the best reality television show in the NFL as they continuously contend in the AFC despite internal dysfunction. JuJu Smith-Schuster is one of the top emerging receivers in the league after a big 2018 season and with that said, let’s not downplay the lost of Antonio Brown who has been arguably the most productive receiver in the last decade. Brown has been to six straight Pro Bowls, and up until 2018 was riding a five-year streak of First-Team All-Pro honors.JuJu Smith-Schuster has only played without Brown in four career games, now he’ll be the guy in Pittsburgh with all the attention on him. After JuJu, the Steelers are staring down three relatively unknown products in Donte Moncrief, James Washington, and Diontae Johnson. You can expect Big Ben to move the ball downfield but he also just tied his second-highest career total with 16 interceptions. The Steelers had an incredible receiving tandem in the past few years but they suffered a huge loss with Antonio going to Oakland. The Cowboys still have questions at receiver but you have to be pleased with how Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup closed out 2018. Adding Randall Cobb is a minimal risk with high reward potential, Tavon Austin gives the Cowboys some juice at the very least. Allen Hurns and Jason Witten will factor in as big targets for Dak Prescott to keep the offense ahead of the chains. For what the Cowboys added to their passing offense this offseason, it’s good enough to put them in the Top-15. They certainly have a formidable argument with these four teams ahead of them. The 2018 version of the Dallas Cowboys’ entered Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in good spirits. The team had enjoyed a convincing victory over the Seattle Seahawks, had won three games in a row and eight of their last nine games to forge a formidable unit going into the divisional round of the NFC playoffs. But the strong, physical defensive unit that we’ve enjoyed watching throughout the 2018 season was nowhere to be found Saturday night. Instead we were witness to an abysmal defensive unit that posed little resistance to the Rams’ offensive juggernaut. The Cowboys eventually lost 30-22 in a game where the Cowboys made the final score much closer than it deserved to be. In short, the Cowboys were dominated and physically beaten on both sides of the line of scrimmage throughout the entire game. Let’s go to the grades. Overall: DI predicted the Cowboys would play their best Youth Kavon Frazier Jersey , most complete game of the season. Instead, they played one of their worst, not remotely approaching a winning effort. I can think of only a single player who met or exceeded expectations (Michael Gallup). Every other player, every unit, was outplayed. The defense, in particular, was exposed, surrendering:273 rushing yards - most in Cowboys’ playoff history459 total yards - second most in Cowboys’ playoff historyNearly 37 minutes time of possessionIn addition to being pummeled by the Rams’ ground game all night, the defense made no plays - at all. Zero sacks, zero turnovers and only one punt forced the entire game. Offensively things were minimally better, as the Cowboys somehow managed to put 22 points on the board. This despite a running game that was completely shut down (only 50 yards on 22 attempts) and converting only one of ten third-down attempts (worst conversion rate on the season). The offense netted only 308 yards the entire game, meaning the Rams out-gained Dallas by 151 yards (459 to 308)The only reason the team avoids an F is despite all this they somehow managed to make a game of it. A late third-quarter touchdown and two-point conversion created a one-score game. And a late TD just prior to the two-minute warning also created a one-score game. But, of course, the Dallas defense couldn’t get a stop. The Rams simply ran for two first downs to run the clock out, an 11-yard scramble by Jared Goff on third down being the back-breaker. Coaching: FHere’s what I wrote of Jason Garrett prior to the game:Needless to say Garrett didn’t share my way of thinking. Garrett and offensive coordinator Scott Linehan lined up and ran the same plays and the same concepts and added absolutely nothing new, different or out of character. They did go for it on four different fourth down opportunities so there’s that. The stubbornness was on full display on the first play of the fourth quarter. The Cowboys had clawed to within eight points (23-15) and had forced their one and only punt of the game. Facing a fourth and 1 from the Rams’ 35, the brain-trust decided to go to a jumbo package with a tight formation. You’ll never believe it but the plunge up the middle failed to gain the needed yards and the game was pretty much over. I guess banging your head against a wall enough makes you think it’s fun. I’ll also note that for the third time in Jason Garrett’s five playoff games the team faced a double-digit deficit before halftime:2014 - Detroit Lions: trailed 14-0 after 13 minutes2016 - Green Bay: trailed 21-3 after 21 minutes2018 - Los Angeles: trailed 20-7 after 26 minutesThat’s a combined 55-10 for those counting. Three times Jason Garrett’s playoff teams have emerged from the locker room unprepared for the game. They’ve been beaten up, run over and outclassed from the opening whistle. Give them credit for coming back and making the games competitive (even winning one) but one has to ask why Garrett’s teams repeatedly play horrid opening quarters in their most important games. Quarterback: CDak Prescott had a quintessential Dak Prescott game. He started out hot, going 3-for-3 for 48 yards and a touchdown strike to Amari Cooper:And then we got bad Dak. Prescott looked flustered and inaccurate as the offense punted on each of the team’s next four possessions. With no ground game whatsoever to help, Prescott was asked to put the team on his back and wasn’t able to do it. Of course, he did perk up in the final 20 minutes Kavon Frazier Jersey Stitched , as he always seems to. He led the team on two touchdown drives sandwiched around the drive doomed by the fourth-down failure. His best play of the night came on a pinpoint strike off an improvised scramble:Prescott also hit Cooper for a two-point conversion and later ran for a touchdown. But it was all too little too late. One Prescott oddity: the losing quarterback has posted the higher passer rating in all three playoff games Dak has played:Michael StrawnDak wasn’t the problem Saturday night, but he also wasn’t the solution. Running back: B-I honestly don’t know how to grade Ezekiel Elliott. He had no lanes to run through as the Rams made it their priority to stop Zeke from eating. Elliott had one 15-yard run and a 12-yard catch and that’s about it. He did make a key block on the early Cooper touchdown. But when the league’s leading running back’s biggest contribution was a block you know it was a bad night. Offensive line: D-The offensive line was simply inept. Playing against a defense that allowed more yards per carry than any other NFL team, the Cowboys’ averaged a putrid 2.27 YPA; the second lowest mark in the team’s playoff history (shockingly, the worst number was the team’s victory over Pittsburgh in Super Bowl XXX). Aaron Donald and the rest of the Rams’ much-maligned front seven simply punished the Cowboys’ offensive line. Prescott was only sacked once (a dubious sack at that) but also didn’t have tons of time in the pocket. It was a poor effort from a unit that started the season as the team’s best and ended as perhaps its worst. Wide receivers: B+If any unit showed up to play Saturday night it was this group. Gallup and Cooper combined to catch 12 balls on 18 targets for 184 yards and a touchdown. Gallup’s over-the-shoulder catch set up another touchdown and Cooper also hauled in a two-point conversion. There simply weren’t enough opportunities for this group. Tight ends: CAgain, I’m not real sure how to grade the tight ends. Dalton Schultz and Blake Jarwin did make three catches on four targets for 37 yards. But they were mostly called on to block and obviously the overall blocking was woefully inadequate. Defensive line: FIf Demarcus Lawrence, Tyrone Crawford or Randy Gregory made a play Saturday night I missed it. The stat sheet indicates they combined for six tackles, one tackle for loss, zero sacks, zero fumbles, zero pressures and zero passes defensed. Zero is a good way to describe the way this unit performed as they were thoroughly whipped in every way imaginable. Again, the Rams punted once the entire game. Their drive table (courtesy of Pro Football Reference) is a disaster:Five drives of 64 yards or moreSix scoring drives (only a missed field goal prevented it from being seven)Three drives of 11 or more playsFive drives of at least four minutes; two of more than seven minutesMany believed the Dallas defense to be an elite unit but we should all disabuse ourselves of that notion. Here’s how that “elite” unit did the final six weeks of the season:Those are bottom ten in the league kind of numbers. Linebackers: FWhen the opponent runs at will, from opening whistle to final gun, linebackers have to be held accountable. The dynamic duo of Jaylon Smith and Leighton Vander Esch, along with Sean Lee, simply couldn’t get it done. They were credited with 20 tackles but most of them seemed to be five or more yards beyond the line of scrimmage. Like the defensive line there were zero splash plays from this unit. It was a stunning development for the two youngsters who truly did play at an elite level most of the season.Secondary: C+This unit didn’t give up many big plays but that’s mostly because they weren’t tested much. Goff was largely held in check, throwing for only 186 yards with a long play of only 21. But whenever the Rams needed him to make a play he was able to do it, as the Rams moved the ball at will. Like the other units, I don’t recall a single standout play from the secondary. The only noteworthy play was a horribly timed penalty on Byron Jones. Dallas had actually forced the Rams’ into a rare 3rd-and-long but Jones’ penalty allowed them to convert. It was particularly frustrating because:The infraction was away from the playHad the Rams completed their pass it wasn’t enough for a first downThe hands-to-the-face call was borderline (at best)Todd Gurley ran 35 yards for a touchdown two plays laterSpecial teams: BNothing really noteworthy from this group. On the positive side the coverage units didn’t allow a long return for (seemingly) the first time in months. Brett Maher converted his two extra point attempts and Chris Jones punted. Summary:I can’t help but wonder about Jason Garrett. He simply doesn’t seem to rise to the occasion. His teams don’t play their best when the stakes are highest. This isn’t new, as when we look back even the not-so-great teams of the 2011-2013 had chances to advance but always played poor in those win-and-advance games. I like Garrett and the overall job he’s done. But I’m wondering if reaching the NFL’s final eight is his ceiling? The Cowboys haven’t played terrible in all of their post-season losses but they’ve never come close to playing their best games. When you look at Super Bowl champions those team peaked in the playoffs and played their best games. Jason Garret’s teams don’t. And that’s a problem for a franchise that hasn’t reached the final four for 23 consecutive seasons.
