And after years of looking for cheap resources at defensive tackle, the Cowboys decided enough was enough and decided it was time to get a monster in the middle. And that’s exactly what they got with Central Florida’s Trysten Hill.The 2019 draft features a ridiculously deep class of defensive tackles and the Cowboys were able to land one of the last remaining stud 3-tech’s on the board. At 6’3”, 308 pounds, Hill carries with him not only a lot of size, but also a lot athleticism. He has great first-step explosiveness and nice pass rushing traits the team loves in a 3-tech defensive tackle. He plays with violence and shoots the gap with the best of them. With strong hands and great footwork, Hill can flat out move. While he offers a great presence to get after the quarterback, he is also a good run defender. He has a never-give-up motor and can be seen chasing down ball carriers when it looks like he has no business even being in the play.The talent is there and this is a high upside pick, but Hill comes with some concerns. He had issues with the coaching staff that cost him his starting role his final season. This would be a reason for pause, but the Cowboys spent so much time with him so they have a great feel for what they’re getting as a person. Of course there are whispers that the coaching staff did him wrong at times.Fundamentally, Hill has a few warts. He plays with a little reckless abandon at times. He’ll over-pursue and doesn’t always have plan of attack. His lack of purpose can run himself out of plays at times. He’ll give way a little in leverage and doesn’t possess enough power to anchor down. Hill will pop up sometimes, compromising his pad level. If he’s not disciplined Cheap Marcus Martin Youth Jersey , he will be susceptible to getting washed out by double teams.Our own Connor Livesay provided his scouting report a couple weeks ago.This move helps the Cowboys financially as well as they have three defensive tackles playing on the last year of their contract - Maliek Collins, Antwaun Woods, and recently acquired Christian Covington. Now, they’ll have a fresh new defensive tackle on a cheap rookie deal.What do you think of the Trysten Hill pick? Three years ago, almost to the day, the Cowboys coaching staff was busy coaching the North Team in the lead-up to the Senior Bowl. They had earned this honor by finishing with one of the worst records in the league in 2015 at 4-12, a record that brought with it such accouterments as a top four draft pick, the opportunity to coach the Senior Bowl, and alast-place schedule in 2016. Three years later, the Cowboys are coaching the Pro Bowl after a 10-6 season in 2018 and have quietly - and largely unnoticed by the Pusillanimous Parade of Pessimism in Dallas - strung together three consecutive winning seasons.Only five other NFL teams have managed winning records over each of the last three seasons: New England, Kansas City, Pittsburgh White Bill Bates Jersey , Seattle, and Tennessee, and only three of them managed a better record than the Cowboys’ 32-16 record over that period (NE: 38-10; KC: 34-14; PIT: 33-14-1). That type of record obviously raises expectations for 2019, but a 10-6 record is not necessarily an easy thing to repeat, much less improve on, if you look at the historical record of 10-6 teams in the league. Between the introduction of the salary cap in 1994 (to use a random data point in league history) and 2017, 82 teams finished the season with 10 wins, and there’s some sobering stuff to be gleaned from looking at the historical record of those 10-win teams.Only 20 of 82 teams (24%) improved on their record the following year.Seven teams (9%) were able to repeat their 10-win record the following year.55 (67%) teams finished the following year with less than 10 wins. The most frequent records since 1994 after a 10-win season: 9-7 (10 teams) and 4-12 (10 teams. Yikes!Here’s the full data set.In the parity-driven NFL, last season doesn’t matter. In the NFC East, the 2015 Redskins jumped from last to first in the division, the Cowboys did it in 2016, the Eagles in 2017 Bill Bates Jersey 2019 , but when it was the Giants’ turn in 2018 they stuck with Eli Manning and that was that. After finishing 10-6, and winning a playoff game to boot, it would be easy to sit back and think that a few changes here or there will be enough to get the Cowboys into the NFC Championship game or beyond in 2019. But that would probably be wrong.The 2018 Cowboys won the NFC East. Yay.The 2018 Cowboys advanced to the Divisional round of the playoffs. Yippee ki-yayDak Prescott went to his second Pro Bowl. Ezekiel Elliott led the league in rushing for the second time. The Cowboys won a playoff game for just the third time since 1996. Royale with cheese, baby.You know what’s even harder to do than any of those things?Repeat them.But when you finish a season the way the Cowboys did, you may find yourself thinking you’re actually as good as your record says you are. You may start thinking that an offense that finished 22nd in the league with a paltry 21.1 points per game just needs the RB to run outside the tackles a little more and everything will fall into place. That a defense that ranked 22nd in defensive passer rating (in a league that’s all about the pass) and allowed the fourth-highest completion rate (in a league that’s all about the pass) will be just hunky dory because that one assistant coach shouts a lot on the sidelines. That a defensive line that had a semi-funny nickname but had trouble getting to the QB all season (ranked only 16th in sacks in a league that’s all about the pass) just needs to invest its highest draft pick in a defensive tackle to stop the run (in a league that’s all about the pass) and you’re a lock for the next NFC Championship game.If the 2018 Cowboys had finished 6-10, I promise you that you would not be comfortable with any of the things above. Because when you finished with a winning record (and even won a playoff game), complacency sets in much quicker than when you’re 6-10.Change for the sake of change is never a good strategy, but sometimes a personnel change can provide new impulses to an organization or a unit that may have gone stale.The Cowboys are shaking up their coaching staff and responsibilities on offense (even if they are doing it with very little outside input), they’ve shaken things up a bit on the special teams coaching staff, and they may yet surprise us on defense as well.On the player side, Jerry Jones explained that roster turnover every year is about 30%:That would mean about 20 new faces on the roster for 2019. All of which will be absolutely necessary if the Cowboys want to improve on 2018 this year.
