So never then.

Man, I hope not, but it does seem unlikely to have no really special LB's on the field. Let's hope I'm wrong. I think the rest of the D unit looks pretty solid on paper.

Somewhat difficult to expect a dominant D without a dominant LB. I'd say we're good, not great until that's solved.

and the winner for the worst post of the summer thus far...is the same winner of the same award from many years and alternative sites from years past.

that Spags comment isn't unwarranted at all...

The early edition on the Coach Fool is worrisome. I don't like what I've hears and I don't think that it's a great pressure scheme to play that way. I'll take Spags any day over an of our DC's but Billy.

I'll need to see him in action once before I get all fuzzy about him. Every preseason we we're hopeful even with the unmentionable DCs. I'm not sure if you can script takeaways all that easily in a secondary, seems more like a function of disguise and pressure.

I'm hoping that Fewell is good at both, though I've read he's working on the disguising part.

he's been called the chase blackburn of RB's

Maybe he thought he was jumping on Joe Montana, but LT he knew he was 16

some people are scum bags and are always in trouble and some people are stand up guys and they are never in this kind of mix.

My childhood idol is one of those scummy kind of guys. It' a shame really, I loved him on the field, but now his memorabilia is coming down. It's not that this particular incident is worst than all others, just that they keep coming.

When given the choice to admire Phil for being great on and off the field for Lawrence for just on the field, I believe I'd rather look to old #11 for inspiration.

People can debate the level of wrong in this, but the fact that a HOF'r is in this business at all means that he hasn't learned a damn thing over the past twenty years.

I think eveyone's forgetting a little all-star named Brunner

Holy shit, if this is true, does that mean that he has to be re-inducted as a Steeler?

That's true, I overlooked that sacred status of the Sam Huff of the modern era.

critiques of him due, but if he had been with us that season that he shot himself we had chances of repeating. After 87 it was the strike and in this one it was losing him that made an immediate impact on the offensive output of our team.

Who plugged in the Stroudamatic 2000? It looks like the wheel stopped on Eli today.

No worries, there are 53 men he'll be able to complain about come September.

Great now we'll have to retire 7 different jerseys

JR is as committed to not filling that role in a first rate manner as Fassel was at putting real talent on special teams.

Osi's not going anywhere this season, so no need to worry about that right now. He may be gone next season, but he's one year returned off of knee surgery, so we'll know if he's still got anything or not.

Also we need the depth on the line and considering the injuries that Tuck and Osi have had, we're definitely not overloaded.

At the risk of taking on a Jack Stroud like whineyness, I think our GM is mediocre. I wouldn't say "bad," but he's not leaving us with some real problems.

I found this draft to be concerning and when it comes to drafts like Dillard, I agree with what McShay said about it on M&M today, "career backup."

Who's the leader on our defense?

This pick is fine anyone who doesn't understand how the pick for value works should log off and go buy a book about the draft.

We're fine and our new guy will get spot duty which will be just what Spags initially conceived of with the 4 Aces.

Having him ride pine is not likely the case which tells you what's going on with Kiwi or Osi.

Would have liked a LB, but RB's will be down later and cheaper, hoping for a good couple of LB's and some OL help...

Golfer is spot on. It's a good pick at the time and considering Al Davis stop f'ing up.

I'm only too sorry our pick was snatched. It was like playing blackjack with a novice on your side stealing your cards except that this wasn't a novice, it was Al Davis and he just thought it was an early bird special.

As the man said, "you can never have too many pass rusher." considering Kiwi's versatilty we could have a 4 aces program again...this is a good pick.

You'll settle down when we have some LB help. I applaud Reese's move here.. considering the injuries that Tuck and Osi have had in the last two years, this is wise... believe it

let his damn knee heal and he'll be back and we need him. Let's not go dismantling a pass rushing attack and go back to what we were a few years back. Do people forget what life was like when we had people like Kenny Holmes? Osi is great and nobody would feel this way if he wasnt crying like JackStroud when the bad guy gets killed in the movies.

someone with more time than me, please go back and find all the old Jack comments about "the General" and how he was our answer.

This guy is such a fucking douche bag, I wish him on the Eagles he's so dumb.

[Much of jerry jones success as an owner is directly related to the stupidity of the Minnesota Vikings with the hershel walker trade.

 

from wiki:

 

Dallas ended up with a total of six of Minnesota's picks over the succeeding years, two of which were used to draft Emmitt Smith and Darren Woodson. Jimmy Johnson used the other draft picks to make trades with other teams around the NFL. One of the trades led to obtaining the first overall draft pick in 1991, which was used to draft Russell Maryland. In other words, the trade of Herschel Walker to the Vikings contributed largely to the Cowboys' success in the early 1990s. For this reason, ESPN.com's Page 2 lists it as the 8th most lopsided trade in sports history.[4] Seventeen years later, the trade was still an easy target for satire: one ESPN columnist, assessing the impact of free agency on the NFL, noted that it had almost entirely replaced significant trades and by doing so, "took away one of the greatest shortcuts to becoming a Super Bowl champion: fleecing the Vikings."[5]

Despite Walker's performance as a Minnesota Viking, his trade was widely perceived as an exceptionally poor move for what the Vikings had to give up in order to get him, and remains one of the most frequently vilified roster moves of the team's history (indeed, in the history of Minnesota sports). "Herschel the Turkey," a mocking "honor" given out by the Star Tribune newspaper to particularly inept or disgraceful Minnesota sports personalities, is named for him. The trade was also made into an episode of ESPN Classic's The Top 5 Reasons You Can't Blame.... In 2008, the trade was selected by SI.com as the worst sports trade of all time.

That is totally true...in that Dallas had a lot of picks from that trade. The wisdom was in knowing who to draft and that's what happened here...

Johnson's extensive knowledge of the college game was key and it spoke for itself in those years. Of course one could say our drafting in those years had a lot to do with Dallas' success too. Throw the Eagles in there as well.

Gerry's proven one thing: except for one of his hires, most of his decisions are PT Barnum stuff. He only won because he hired the right coach at the right time and then his subsequent SB win was still with that personnel grouping.

Early success went to Jerry's head. I appreciate his showmanship, however he's inevitably going to become the Al Davis of the Longhorn state.

PS

Nice job on the jumbo tron dumbass

this building is just not aesthetically pleasing whatsoever. What a great opportunity to look amazing to be locationally branded and poof, it looks like a new stadium, not better, just the same.

I think jerry jones' stadium is silly, but Indy's is something distinct. I had higher hopes and so we'll just have to hold our breath for another 30 years.
