ALL the rookies should be playing right now. Anything and everything the cowboys do for the rest of the yr should be with next yr in mind. This yr is a lost cause so we need to use the remainder of the season as an evaluation period of the roster, with particular focus on the rookie's. We need to know which rookies can play and how they handle live game action.

Second I would immediately fire Nolan. Do we really want the DC of this historically bad defense to continue teaching these young guys? However It may be more prudent to wait till the end of the season to look for his permanent replacement ,when more DC are available. But I would promote a coach from within to take the over for now. I don't want Nolan to have the opportunity to continue putting his stamp on this team. The culture of this team needs a serious makeover and it needs to start with the DC. I suspect McCarthy will get at least another yr considering the short training camp and all of our injuries.
