Jeff Cavanaugh - Trust the Tape

Answering your questions from Twitter (where you can find me @timeforjeffrey) about the Dallas Cowboys including:

Tyler Smith and the 'rookie wall'

Tyron Smith creeping back toward the lineup

OBJ and the timeline

Kellen Moore criticism and how fair it is or isn't

Offseason priority #1 (because you sickos asked!)

Cowboys 28, Giants 20.  Postgame reaction from me.  Featuring you.

Thanks to everyone for your Cowboys questions on my Facebook page and here they all are with my answers and analysis.

The Cowboys are VERY in on Odell Beckham and the whole organization wants it to happen.

Tyron Smith is out on the field and it looks like he's actually nearing a return. What happens with Tyler Smith when he's ready?

The Zeke - Tony Pollard split when Zeke is ready to roll.

Jabril Cox and Damone Clark.

I told Jerry Jones we needed to add two things to this thing with the NFC down and attainable this year.  A big girthy man up the middle and a wide receiver to pair with CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup.  Johnathan Hankins was our big man, Odell Beckham may be our wide receiver according to reports.  Let's party about it.

The Cowboys tried to get a deal done for Houston Texans WR Brandin Cooks and weren't able to get it done. That stings a little bit for two different reasons that I'll share with you.

And now we all turn our eyeballs to the guy you would NOT have to trade for in order to add him to your team. May we all glance toward Odell Beckham Jr as a potential Cowboy.

The Cowboys traded for Johnathan Hankins, then the Eagles traded for Robert Quinn.

Hankins is a getting older run stopper than can still help you out a little bit. Quinn is a stud pass rusher and the Eagles only gave up a 4th round pick! How is this possible? Well, there's a catch.

I'm here to help.

We've got conflicting reports on Ezekiel Elliott's knee although it's absolutely possible he does not play this week to rest the banged up part of his body, couple different reports from Clarence Hill and Michael Gehlken.

Cowboys 5th round draft pick Damone Clark is being activated, what that means for the linebacker room of the 'Boys.

Thoughts on Dak's return, Micah Parsons not being human, and everything else we learned from the Cowboys beating the Lions 24-6.

My plea to the Cowboys to please trade for Derrick Brown from the Carolina Panthers to solve their run defense problems in one step. Plus we'll set the expectations for Dak Prescott and the offense + Micah Parsons and the defense as they take on Detroit this weekend.

The Cowboys lost and it's not a big deal. They're showing you that they're good at everything except QB and that man is on the way. Dak Prescott's return is on the horizon and it's about to get fun.
