All Inclusive Cowboys Thread

[pawe]

The FUCKING REFS should have known Garrett didn't really want the TO. They should not have called it.

They know the Cowboys are the best team in the NFC. The Packers haven't played anyone and are looking beatable. The Boys are getting robbed by the refs and the media!

Timmytozo aint got shit on this guy right here.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Gutless play-calling.

[leemajors]

garrett is just fucking stupid.

[Dex]

It's been said time and time again, but the Cowboys need to hire a real coach. When they win, it's despite Garrett, not because of him.

His play-calling is predictable, yet god-awful at the same time, which means you just have to expect he's going to make the wrong move and you'll usually be right. He takes no responsibility for team penalties, which ultimately come back on bad coaching. And his terrible clock management has wasted three or four winning opportunities this season.

Last night the Cowboys had first down with like 30 seconds left and two timeouts, and were in position for a 50 yard field goal. Rather than take one of the timeouts and try to draw up a couple plays to move the ball closer, he has Romo run up to the line, drain 23 seconds, and spike the ball. WTF? Your rookie kicker has already missed one 50-yarder in the game, and you want to put all your eggs in the basket that he won't miss a second?

And as if that's not enough pressure, you mis-calculate the clock AGAIN and ice your own damn player? Inexcusable. I was expecting the icing call to come; I just wouldn't have thought in a million years that it would have come from the freaking Dallas sideline.

I knew as soon as the Cowboys missed that kick, they were going to lose the game. Sometimes poetic justice cannot be denied.

[Obstructed_View]

Jimmy Johnson had fucked up clock management that cost them a game early in his career. I don't think this is a fireable offense by any stretch. The case could probably be made to JG in the offseason that he could stand to hire an offensive coordinator, but the fanbase, the media and the GM are all so meddlesome that they'll make a mountain out of this and something drastic will happen. Either that or the Cowboys will beat the Giants next week and everyone will forget about this.

Garrett needs to hire a OC. this guy is smart but lacks common sense. i don't think he can run the entire football team and call plays, he needs to focus on the team and leave the game planning and play calling to someone else.

every game is to the wire and the shit is getting tired. i applaud him in getting the team back to winning but his playcalling is questionable.

[DejuanorwhatDude]

Really can't respect a coach who doesn't own up to his own mistakes...Garrett should at least appeared contrite at having fucked up the game. Pride doesn't teach you anything.

This. But I think we'll get a new head coach before Garrett hires an OC. Either way, I'd be fine with it.

Is anyone surprised by this game? JG has been a coward all year and it's cost them a few games.

[slick'81]

Cowboys placed RB Phillip Tanner on injured reserve with a hamstring strain, ending his season.

The strain must have been significant. Tanner, an undrafted rookie from Middle Tennessee, managed 76 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries (3.45 YPC) in nine appearances. The Cowboys will move forward with Felix Jones behind DeMarco Murray. They also have Chauncey Washington on the practice squad.



Cowboys agreed to terms with SS Gerald Sensabaugh on a five-year, $22.5 million contract extension.

Sensabaugh, 28, played this season on a one-year, $2.5 million contract. He has started all 12 games, racking up a pair of interceptions and two forced fumbles to go with 60 tackles (50 solo). Sensabaugh is unlikely to last through the end of the deal, so it's probably a bit back loaded. Pro Football Focus has graded Sensabaugh as a top-ten safety in the league this season, performing effectively in both coverage and run support.

DeMarco Murray has been diagnosed with a broken right ankle.

He's also suffered a high-ankle sprain. It's the worst possible news for Dallas' dynamic rookie back, who will not play another down this season. Injury prone in college, it's a sad, if predictable, end to Murray's year. With Phillip Tanner placed on injured reserve two days ago, Felix Jones is now the Cowboys' only healthy running back. Although a backup will be signed, Jones should be in for monster workloads down the stretch as Dallas looks to secure a playoff berth.

he did his fair share of crapping the bed

[Obstructed_View]

The difference in the game was Romo getting hit at the 2 yard line and choosing to fall into the end zone. He could have put the game away by hitting a receiver that was wide open. Hard to say how this isn't just as much on him as anyone else.

Although I'm continually finding new ways to be disgusted at Terrence Newman and Orlando Scandrick.

Cowboys S Barry Church will need surgery after his shoulder popped out of place twice in Sunday night's loss to the Giants.

It sounds like Church is headed for year-ending injured reserve. Dallas' third safety this season, Church has 28 tackles on the year. He was playing in nickel packages behind SS Gerald Sensabaugh and FS Alan Ball.

[Spursfan092120]

Isnt he like 8-15 .... which you left out!

to be fair, the rest of the team has that record as well. It's not ALL about the QB. Without a dumbass Garrett call and a dropped ball by Terrence Newman that would have been used in a game of catch between a father and son, the Cowboys are 3-0 this December. These games are not on Romo at all. Besides the Jets and Lions game, we can't blame Romo this year...at all. He's had probably the best or second best year of his career.

[BUMP]

the Cowboys are about to receive a huge blow next week. It has nothing to do with the players but I will be going to the Eagles game on Christmas Eve.

While I've had good luck with the Rangers/Mavs I always seem to be a bad luck charm as they're 0-3 with me in attendance (06 Saints, 07 playoff game, 08 Ravens). Hopefully this time I can watch the team without the SEASON dropping this time around

[scott]

Posted this on another forum...


I'm going to come out and predict the following happens:

Giants lose today and lose next week to the Jets next Saturday in the early game.

Cowboys, playing the late game, know they only have to beat the Eagles at home to clinch the division...

And they lose. Most likely in heartbreaking last-minute fashion.

Giants beat Cowboys last week of the season (again, in heartbreaking last-minute fashion) while Eagles win out to create an 8-8 tie at the top, and Eagles a somehow the ones who qualify.

(As a Cowboys fan, I hope this doesn't happen... but it would be a fitting end to the season for both the Giants and Cowboys)

I just have that overriding sense of doom...

[slick'81]

dallas cowboys once again alone in the nfc east....for now

1 cowboys 8-6/vs eagles,@giants
2 giants 7-7/vs jets,vs cowboys

[Spursfan092120]

In other good news for the Boys, Detroit losing to Oakland 17-14, Oakland with the ball. Just trying to cover all my bases, getting into the playoffs.

irrelevant in the sense they can't rain on our parade. eagles are pretty dangerous right now so it's nice to have that safety net, but tbh if we can't win out and get some momentum going into the playoffs there is really no point in going.

[Spurtacus]

No way. Cowboys lose out and Giants win out and we're done. The Giants game could be irrelevant if the Cowboys win next week and Giants lose.

[Spursfan092120]

No way. Cowboys lose out and Giants win out and we're done. The Giants game could be irrelevant if the Cowboys win next week and Giants lose.

If the Giants lose to the Jets, but beat us, and we also lose to Philly, and Philly wins out, they will win the division. In a 3 way tie, they have the tiebreaker. We basically want to win next week and hope the Giants lose. Then, we can coast in Week 16.

Felix Jones has missed 2 practices with a tight hamstring (http://www.dallascowboys.com/news/nick_eatman.cfm?plckController=Blog&plckBlogPage=BlogViewPost&userid=1990bfd1-c6a9-4728-af3f-a229e85b981c&plckPostId=Blog%3a1990bfd1-c6a9-4728-af3f-a229e85b981cPost%3a717040f3-a307-4711-8a3e-4dc660e3e4ee&plckScript=blogScript&plckElementId=blogDest)

While the coaching/training staff might just be holding him out for precautionary reasons, it is still worrisome that this guy cannot stay healthy. Especially with Sammy Morris being the only other RB on the roster. The Cowboys will need a decent run game to win these next 2 games, and if they want to make a run in the playoffs.

Of course people forget. They think Rob Ryan is supposed to come in, sprinkle magic Ryan Brother Dust on all the players and in one year turn that group of shitheads into productive NFL players. It doesn't work that way. He needs 2-3 more players that can play within his system and hide other deficiencies. Right now they have too many holes. He doesn't need superstars, he just needs a couple more productive players.

Stephen McGee has always been terrible.

He basically stares down his first option and if that's not open, just scrambles to his right. Like clockwork. The dude has not improved one bit since his rookie season. Add that to his inability to take chances downfield and you have one of the most frustrating NFL quarterbacks you could basically watch

The sooner Dallas is out the better. I don't like hearing Aikman's homer bias towards Dallas on the TV broadcasts. They always have him on their games.

[BUMP]

Not sure why every Cowboy fan is all doom and gloom about this game

The last true game they played was the one again Tampa. The defense played pretty well vs Philly it's just a shame that McGee sucks dick giving them no chance at all to win. I don't see why we couldn't beat New York and then win a home game against ATL/Det. It's not gonna be easy but this team is definitely capable

[leemajors]

Weird, I get annoyed cause he goes out of his way to not sound like a homer. I do hate Joe Buck though, those two weeks he is gone for the MLB playoffs are my favorite game weekends of the season.

Yeah, Aikman actually rips on the Cowboys quite a lot in his broadcasts.


As for this week's game, Dallas can definitely win but only if they jump on them early like Washington did, imo (and i can see them doing that). If this comes down to the 4th quarter...well, you know...

tbh I'm just saying that Sunday night could be the next lol moment in Dallas sports history if they don't pull it off

[Spursfan092120]

Weird, I get annoyed cause he goes out of his way to not sound like a homer. I do hate Joe Buck though, those two weeks he is gone for the MLB playoffs are my favorite game weekends of the season.

Yeah..really not sure where he got that...Aikman never picks Dallas, and always has a few not so great things to say about Romo....of course so does everyone else.

[leemajors]

Here are the teams the Cowboys have beaten this season and their combined record.

San Francisco, 12-3; Washington (twice), 5-10; St. Louis, 2-13; Seattle, 7-8; Buffalo, 6-9; Miami, 5-10; Tampa Bay, 4-11

[Obstructed_View]

As for this week's game, Dallas can definitely win but only if they jump on them early like Washington did, imo (and i can see them doing that). If this comes down to the 4th quarter...well, you know...

When the Cowboys jump out to an early lead their offense stalls and their defense relaxes. When they struggle to score early the defense plays better but the offense never gets going. They've played too many close games. Time to get blown out.

[Trill Clinton]

Yup, Dallas has to take an early lead and minimize their mistakes this time. No dumbass penalties. Doug Free is going to need a lot of help too, matter of fact the who left side of the line is going to have to step it up since Holland is hurt.

Dockery is a pretty good back up so he should be okay but you never know with this team.

Yeah..really not sure where he got that....

"Unequivocally,'' Jones said when asked if Garrett will be back. "I feel that Jason is our coach and we can build and do some good things from here. We can take some of the things we need to do better and address them.

"I've got a lot of confidence in him. He's done a lot of good things here and he's learned a lot this year.

"Hopefully we all have.''

Which starters should the Cowboys replace?

http://espn.go.com/blog/dallas/cowboys/post/_/id/4689483/which-starters-should-cowboys-replace


CB Terence Newman

SS Abram Elam

ILB Bradie James

OLB Anthony Spencer

DE Kenyon Coleman

C Phil Costa

LG Montrae Holland

OG Kyle Kosier

That's quite a few of the starters they want replaced. My question is, what should be the Cowboys' priority? And how should they go about this? Through the draft, through free agency, or in house?

[manufan10]

I wouldn't be terribly upset if they kept Elam, Spencer, and Costa. I think they need to replace Kosier and continue with the youth movement on the offensive line.

I think their priority should be DB. Newman is done, and I don't particularly care for Scandrick. Frank Walker didn't have an impact. I think they need to upgrade this position through free agency. They need someone who can come in right away and play and make an impact.

[leemajors]

I think Walker was just a desperation signing anyway with how thin they were. Someone else will give Spencer more money than he deserves, and I think it is time to give Butler his reps anyway.

[slick'81]

costa was awful early but got a bit better as the season wore on.Im not sold on spencer coming back dude is just a penalty waiting to happen.Kosier is injury prone but held up this year.Get help at guard,lb,safety and cb.Another impact d lineman wouldnt hurt either.

as long a tnew is gone im happy

[DeadlyDynasty]

as long as Jerry Jones is GM/owner/cuckold/alive we might as well find different interests during the months of September-December.

As long as he's reeling in the big bucks from the stadium, actually building a winning team is an afterthought

Jerry Jones the Owner approves of Jones the GM (http://www.csnwashington.com/01/12/12/Jerry-the-owner-approves-of-Jones-the-GM/landing.html?blockID=629898&feedID=10316)


At least one person thinks that Jerry Jones is doing a fine job as general manager of the Dallas Cowboys.

That person happens to be Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.

Speaking on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas last week, Jones said that he would continue in his role of general manager of the Cowboys, who lost three of their last four games to finish 8-8 and out of the playoffs in 2011.

Jones pointed out that of the 71 players who were on the Cowboys’ roster this year, 31 were new to the team. “I look at the mix of players, the veteran, the young player, where we're going to be with our core,” he said.

"I know we can do better, but I think there are some positives there."

He believes that adding a traditional GM would “deter from the mix” that he believes is working well in acquiring talent.

"The way we're structured and the way it is, our fans need to understand that I have the ability to go get anybody and any bit of information that there is, sports or football, and I do. I go get it. We get it from a lot of sources."

Of course, anyone can get information; the key is making the right decisions based on that information. With Jones as the GM, the Cowboys have qualified for the playoffs six times in the past 15 seasons and have won one playoff game.

I’d put up a poll on whether or not Jones should continue as Cowboys GM, but I suspect that Redskins fans would vote virtually unanimously to allow Jerruh to continue to select the players for their team’s chief rival.

On one hand it's great to have an owner who's involved and willing to spend, but OTOH, he needs to leave the football decisions to football people...His vanity is killing the Cowboys.

[BUMP]

On one hand it's great to have an owner who's involved and willing to spend, but OTOH, he needs to leave the football decisions to football people...His vanity is killing the Cowboys.

tbh Cowboy fans need to accept the harsh reality that this guy simply doesn't care about winning football games when he's raking in the money he is left and right. Hell, I wouldn't give two shits either if I was a billionaire who was a major icon for the NFL :lol

I'm not gonna jump on another bandwagon or anything but this team will never win a superbowl with an owner who just doesn't give a shit about the product on the field just as long as they're somewhat competitive.

[leemajors]

Bill Callahan is the new OC/line coach. Dude's offenses have been prolific, guess we'll see what happens.

[leemajors]

jesus wtf:


Bill Callahan was given two titles Thursday, when he was officially added to the Cowboys' staff. He will be the team's offensive coordinator and offensive line coach.

But Cowboys coach Jason Garrett is expected to continue calling plays.

[slick'81]

According to the Dallas Morning News, veteran QB Jon Kitna has decided to retire after 15 NFL seasons.

The 39-year-old dealt with a lingering back injury throughout the season's second half before landing on injured reserve in December. Undrafted out of Central Washington in 1997, Kitna went on to throw for 29,745 yards, 169 touchdowns, and 165 interceptions in 141 NFL games with the Seahawks, Bengals, Lions, and Cowboys. He's expected to turn to high school teaching and coaching in his home town of Tacoma. The Cowboys have been developing Stephen McGee to succeed Kitna as Tony Romo's backup.

also interested on how much play calling callahan does

[manufan10]

At least Garrett is wise enough to realize that he needed some of the pressure alleviated and relinquished (at least some) of his duties as offensive coordinator.

[slick'81]

The Cowboys are expected to let free agent OLB Anthony Spencer test the open market.

According to Pro Football Weekly, Dallas wants to revamp the strong side of its defense and LE Kenyon Coleman may also be out. Spencer never took the next step as a pass rusher in five seasons with Dallas, maxing out with six sacks in 2011 and 2009. He'll still attract plenty of interest after forcing four fumbles this past season and playing tough run defense.

After making it through the 2011 football season without any (further) off-field issues or incidents, Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant has taken his talent for finding trouble to South Beach.
According to WFAA-TV, Bryant was detained by police after a Sunday night fight at a Miami nightclub.
A source with knowledge of the situation tells PFT that Bryant was not arrested or charged.
And in fairness to Bryant, he’s never been arrested. His off-field issues have related more to eligibility issues at Oklahoma State, allegations of unpaid debts, and a situation in which he had been banned from a Dallas-area mall.

I like jenkins. He's the best DB in the draft imo but I wouldnt get him at the #14 pick. I prefer they go with d-line in the first round. Then go DB in the later rounds, this is a deep draft class at that position.

Im thinking Jerry is going to shore up the secondary through FA, though.

The Dallas Cowboys could show interest in Washington Redskins impending free-agent FS LaRon Landry (Achilles') if he shows he is recovered from his Achilles' tendon injury. Landry likely would be a starting safety next season if he signed with the Cowboys.

Spencer is a decent player, but not for 8.8 mil. The Spencer tag tells me the Boys didn't think Butler was starting material and that there were not any viable free agent prospects out there to replace Spencer. FWIW Jerry commented recently that they were going to looking to draft some pash rushers in the draft.

Jaguars signed WR Laurent Robinson, formerly of the Cowboys, to a five-year, $32.5 million contract.

The deal reportedly includes $14 million guaranteed. It's a hefty chunk of change for an injury-prone journeyman, but a necessary risk for a team that fielded one of the worst "receiver corps" in recent memory last season. If Robinson plays anything like he did for Dallas in 2011, he'll provide the Jags with a true vertical and red-zone threat. Of course, with skittish sophomore Blaine Gabbert at the controls, he'll have a hard time matching the out-of-nowhere numbers he posted for the Cowboys.

Executive VP Stephen Jones is the latest Cowboys official to dispute a report that the team has considered trading Felix Jones.

"No discussions –- or speculation -– on the possibility of a trade involving Felix Jones have ever taken place among individuals in this organization who would have the authority to explore such a scenario," said Jones. "Any reports of apparent internal discussions along those lines would involve people who have no input or relevance in the process." ESPN Dallas expects Felix to play a "prominent role" alongside DeMarco Murray in 2012.

[Spurtacus]

My Cowboys mock. I fully expect Jerry Jones to make some moves but I'll stick to the picks they have going into the draft.

#14: Mark Barron, S, Alabama
#45: Shea McClellin, OLB, Boise State
#81: Orson Charles, TE, Georgia
#113: Philip Blake, C, Baylor
#135: De'quan Menzie, CB, Alabama
#152: Kheeston Randall, DT, Texas
#186: Lucas Nix, OG, Pittsburgh
#222: Terrance Ganaway, RB, Baylor

[Ryan Fitzpatrick]

McClellin won't last to pick 45

[modtxspur]

I really hope the boys pickup Kheeston Randall. I've seen a couple mocks with him going to the boys. He is coming from D line U. I don't mean to come off as a Texas homer but what do you think about them picking up Fozzy Whitaker in the late rounds or as an undrafted free agent? He addresses a couple of needs, mainly returning kicks. Before his injury their might not have been anybody better at returning kicks.

[Spurtacus]

McClellin won't last to pick 45

Most likely not since he has first round grades from most teams but his history of concussions could drop him to mid second. Cowboys could still get him by moving up. If the Cowboys don't get Barron at #14 and DeCastro is also gone I could seem them moving down from #14 and targeting McClellin or Jenkins.

Cowboys traded up with the Rams to select LSU CB Morris Claiborne with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft.

Dallas handed over pick No. 45 in the second-round to the Rams to move up from pick No. 14. Yes, the team signed Brandon Carr during the offseason but Morris Claiborne is an elite man to man cornerback. He mirrors at the line of scrimmage well with a fluid hip turn while playing the ball in the air like a receiver. Mike Jenkins only has one-year left on his contract so Claiborne offers a nice tandem to cover the receiver heavy NFC East.





Cowboys re-signed OT Jermey Parnell to a three-year contract.

The deal includes a $1 million signing bonus. An undrafted free agent in 2009, Parnell bounced around practice squads before finally appearing in his first six career games for the Cowboys last season. He'll have an inside track on a roster spot, and should compete to be the Cowboys' third tackle in training camp.

Might as well just keep Jenkins for the last year of his contract. I doubt they'll get anything good for him.

Might as well just keep Jenkins for the last year of his contract. I doubt they'll get anything good for him.

Nah..they won't get shit for him. Heard a guy on talk radio yesterday saying "Why don't the Cowboys just trade Jenkins for Osi Umenyiora and a draft pick and get rid of him." I almost drove off the road laughing. The good thing is with Carr and Claiborne, they can probably afford to put the glass man in a limited role and not have to worry about it too much. He's still better than Newman was though.

ESPN Dallas' Calvin Watkins reports that Cowboys CB Mike Jenkins is still on the trade block.

Per Watkins, there simply "appear to be no takers." Jenkins underwent a significant shoulder operation in January after separating the joint several times during the 2011 season. While he did show toughness, NFL teams maintain obvious medical worries. Watkins also passes along concern that Jenkins isn't rehabbing at the Cowboys' facility. He's working out on his own in Florida.

The first practice of rookie minicamp for the Cowboys ended, and defensive coordinator Rob Ryan ambled off the field. He stopped to chat with reporters for the first time since the draft, and he made a point of saying he wouldn’t make any outrageous proclamations.

Then, in his first few sentences in front of microphones, Ryan made a bold statement. Outrageous? You can judge that. But he obviously didn’t think so.

“I just think we’ll be better than I think we’re gonna be,” Ryan said a few minutes ago on the field. “We’re gonna be damn good.”

You can’t blame the dude for being optimistic. Dallas had drafted CB Morris Claiborne with the No. 6 overall pick after adding a slew of likely starters such as Brandon Carr and Dan Connor in free agency. The guru patched it together last year, even with an insanely banged up group of defensive backs, but it’s clear he didn’t love how it all went down.

With that said, Ryan was asked if he felt more pressure in his second year, given the influx of talent. Um…. not quite.




“Yeah, I’m extremely nervous,” a laughing Ryan said, throwing the question right back at the reporter. “But I know one thing. When you add some excellent players like we’ve done, makes my job a Hell of a lot easier. We’re looking forward to it… I’m excited. No question. I’m excited to be a Dallas Cowboy and I’m excited to run some of the stuff we’ve been talking about.”

Why will this year be better than last year? Well, for one, there is no lockout. There’s actually an offseason. And Ryan hopes to teach his complex system a little better.

“We weren’t always on the same page,” Ryan said. “We wanted to eliminate some bad football. I think when we look back at ourselves, reevaluate, I think I started too fast. We put in an accelerated program without English 101, which I always struggled with. We’ve always had the players, but we’re taking the time to re-teach everything, get some fundamentals here.“

No wonder Ryan is amped…

Romo a top-5 quaterback? I don't have Insider, so hopefully someone who does could post the whole article. I found this rather interesting.


When a quarterback makes the jump to claim a spot among the top five players at that position, the move is usually accompanied by a high-profile achievement like winning a Super Bowl or breaking a statistical record.

That hasn't been the case for Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. He has only one career playoff win to his credit, hasn't topped the 40-touchdown or 4,500-passing-yard marks and has never been named to an All-Pro team.

The lack of these achievements has held back the general perception of where Romo rates in the NFL passing hierarchy, but the truth of the matter is the evidence shows that he is now one of the top five quarterbacks in the league.

Free agent safety Deon Grant said the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys are among teams who have expressed interest in his services during an interview on Sirius XM NFL Radio via Justin Rogers of Mlive.com.

Grant, a 12-year veteran, started nine games for the Super Bowl champion New York Giants last season. He made 64 tackles, defended six passes and had one interception.

[manufan10]

Free agent safety Deon Grant told Sirius/XM the New York Giants, Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys are interested in his services.

Multiple sources said the Cowboys are not interested in Grant.

For the Giants last season, Grant was credited by the team with 58 total tackles, two tackles for loss, two quarterback hits and six pass breakups.

Grant, 33, plays free safety and with the Cowboys signing Brodney Pool in free agency to pair up with Gerald Sensabaugh it doesn't make sense to sign him.

Also, the Cowboys used a fourth-round pick on safety Matt Johnson from Eastern Washington.

If anything the Cowboys are trying to get younger in their secondary, as evident by the team moving up to draft cornerback Morris Claiborne and signing cornerback Brandon Carr in free agency.

Lawrence Vickers shocked Texans let him go
June, 7, 2012
By Calvin Watkins | ESPNDallas.com

IRVING, Texas -- Now that we've gotten over the ants-in-the-pants episode with Cowboys fullback Lawrence Vickers, we can focus on why the Cowboys signed him and the Houston Texans let him go.

Texans running back Arian Foster rushed for 1,224 yards and 10 touchdowns last season behind starting fullback Vickers. Foster had seven games with over 100 rushing yards and three games with 30 or more carries. Foster is an elite running back, having rushed for 2,840 yards with 26 touchdowns the last two seasons.

Vickers was released by Houston when the season was over. It was an interesting decision by the Texans, given they signed Vickers to a two-year deal after the 2010 season. But salary-cap concerns forced the franchise to make hard decisions, which also included letting star linebacker Mario Williams go in free agency.

"It was a shocker, I was shocked," Vickers said. "I was shocked. Then by Foster getting his (new) deal I would think there’s more reason you got somebody that’s going to protect him. I guess they just didn’t value the position. I guess that’s what it is."

It's not like Vickers is a one-hit wonder, either. As Cleveland's fullback in 2010, he led the way for Peyton Hillis to rush for a career-high 1,177 yards and 11 touchdowns.

But Vickers hit the free-agent market and signed with Houston for the two-year deal.

After 2011 ended, Vickers was placed on the open market and sought a team that valued the fullback position. Enter the Cowboys, who have always employed a fullback on the roster. When DeMarco Murray emerged as a talented force at running back last season, he praised the work of then-fullback Tony Fiammetta.

There was a thought Fiammetta would return to the Cowboys, but that changed when Vickers became available.

"That's why I'm here, because they value the position," Vickers said.

With Felix Jones, Phillip Tanner and Murray as the running backs, Vickers said he has to adjust his game for them and not the other way around. Developing a chemistry with the running back is key to any successful running game when a fullback is involved. Vickers said he has to see the holes just like the running back does, or create one when there's a wall.

"It's just the same approach, even if I was going to be with the same guy," Vickers said. "You approach it the same way, every year. So it never changes, always approach each year the same way as if we’re just meeting each other and we've got to get on the right page. Chemistry is a must, even being with somebody two or three years, chemistry is still the same. You're going to have different linemen and you're going to be going against different defenses (with) different things going on."

The italicized and bolded parts got me a little psyched about this guy.

The Cowboys were reportedly willing to use a mid-round pick on WR Josh Gordon in Thursday's Supplemental draft.

Brown GM Tom Heckert had already planned on selecting Gordon in the second round before he even knew the lottery had given him the second pick in each round. Dallas never had a shot. We have heard the Cowboys do not plan to extend Dez Bryant's rookie contract, but they still have him tied up through 2014 with the option of the franchise tag in 2015.

Lol Jerry Jones misses them glory holes

[LakerHater]

Jones says Cowboys seek return to "glory hole" days of yesteryear

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones admits he is seeking “glory hole” days for his franchise, which last made the playoffs in 2009 and has won only two playoff games since its triumph over Pittsburgh in Super Bowl XXX to close the 1995 season.
Jones was offering praise to veteran tight end Jason Witten for saying the Cowboys cannot settle for “the same old story” again in 2012. Jones declared it good for younger players to hear such perspective from a player who has “been outstanding” but has “not gotten the brass ring.”
Jones said Witten’s comments also motivate him. From there, he proceeded to launch into the most memorable comment of today’s opening news conference about the Cowboys seeking a return to their “glory hole” days of yesteryear.
“For me, it’s a reminder,” Jones said. “I’ve been here 23 years. I’ve been here when it was glory hole days and I’ve been here when it wasn’t. And, so, having said that, I want me some glory hole. So I have that perspective.”

Shortly thereafter, Cowboys’ vice-president of public relations/communications Rich Dalrymple chimed in with a reminder that “glory hole” is a common expression in the oil and gas exploration business (http://sportsblogs.star-telegram.com/cowboys/2012/07/jones-says-cowboys-seek-return-to-glory-hole-days-of-yesteryear.html#) pertaining to a high-profit drilling site. Jones, a longtime oil man, feigned surprise.
“That’s news to me,” Jones said, smiling.

Cowboys talking bout Plaxico

Source: Dallas, Plaxico Burress talk
Updated: August 9, 2012, 7:22 PM ET
By Calvin Watkins | ESPNDallas.com

OXNARD, Calif. -- The Dallas Cowboys have held preliminary discussions with Drew Rosenhaus, the agent for Plaxico Burress, about signing the free-agent wide receiver, according to a source.

The Cowboys have young and inexperienced receivers fighting for the No. 3 position on the team, and are thinking of adding a veteran if no one emerges.

On Thursday afternoon, team executive vice president Stephen Jones told KTBB-FM in Tyler, Texas, that the team "wouldn't totally rule out Plaxico at some point."

Last season the Cowboys signed veteran Laurent Robinson as their No. 3 receiver, and he led the team with 11 touchdowns. In the offseason, Robinson signed a five-year, $32.5 million deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

With starter Miles Austin (hamstring) out, Kevin Ogletree moved up the Cowboys' depth chart and is getting first-team snaps with Dez Bryant.

Andre Holmes, Dwayne Harris, Tim Benford and Cole Beasley have been the standouts in training camp so far for Dallas' No. 3 receiver spot.

Beasley worked out of the slot with the first-team offense during Thursday's walk-through.

In a 10-year career, Burress has played for three NFL teams, with 550 catches for 8,457 yards and 63 touchdowns.

In September 2009, Burress was sentenced to two years in prison for violating gun laws in New York after he shot himself in the leg while at a nightclub. He agreed to a plea deal and pleaded guilty to a lesser firarms charge.

Burress was released three months early for good behavior and then signed with the New York Jets last season. He tied for the team lead with eight touchdown receptions and finished with 612 yards and 45 receptions.

I think if he ever turns out to be anything, it's just a situation where a player needed a change of scenery. Dallas relies heavily on TEs and he still couldn't get it done. With the abilities he had it was really a shame but they had to let him go.

Maybe he's wising up a bit..and not a bad mentor to pick.

Dez Chooses Novacek As Mentor
By Mike Fisher and Richie Whitt
August 23, 2012 7:00 PM

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - All of his life – beginning with the moment Dez Bryant was discovered to be a football prodigy – potential mentors have reached out to him, offering guidance … but in so many cases, seemingly wanting something in return.

That didn’t change when he left little Lufkin, Texas, and attended Oklahoma State. It didn’t change when he left college and was taken in by Dallas bail bondsman David Wells and by Deion Sanders. And it didn’t change in his first two seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, either. Sanders has feuded publicly with the gifted former first-round receiver.

The Cowboys themselves have tried to give structured help. And other well-meaning Cowboys legends like Drew Pearson have offered friendship to Bryant, only to be rejected.

For the first time, there is a positive and unique change in the mentorship of Dez Bryant: The player sought out the help himself. And the person he’s approached is former Dallas tight end Jay Novacek.


Photo Credit: Armen Williams, KRLD-FM, CBS Radio Dallas
“We’ve talked, yes,’’ Novacek coyly tells 105.3 The Fan. “I’m certainly available to Dez if he needs me.’’

Sources tell me that Bryant approached Novacek when the five-time Pro Bowler visited the team’s Oxnard, Calif., camp and said, “How did you do what you did? Can you show me how you did what you did?’’

Said a source: “It seems like a weird choice. But at the same time, it’s a wonderful choice.’’

Novacek doesn’t want Dez’ money, doesn’t want Dez to sign with an agent crony, doesn’t want Dez to hook up with a certain sports apparel company. Novacek – who during his years as a three-time Super Bowl winner marched to the beat of his own drummer but always did so within the boundaries of team rules and the law – has no ulterior motives here except to grant Bryant’s unorthodox request.

When Coach Jason Garrett says “Dez is maturing as a football player and as a person,’’ this is the sort of sound decision he’s talking about.

It is unorthodox, of course, for reasons that are obvious: Novacek, who will be 50 in October, is old-school. He drives a truck. He rides cutting horses. He’s from Nebraska. He’s a family man. He’s quiet. He wears a Stetson. Oh, and he’s white. Suffice to say, Novacek has never spent $800,000 on a jewelry shopping spree, has never been in conflict with mall security over baggy pants and has never been told by Cowboys owner Jerry Jones that there is an airplane ticket home waiting for him if he doesn’t get in line.

Those sorts of incidents (all topped by Bryant’s still-looming domestic violence issue involving allegedly striking his mother in the face with a baseball cap) have caused supposed mentors like Sanders to turn their back on him

“He needs help,” Sanders once said in a radio interview. “I told the Cowboys from day one that he needs help.”

Of course, it was Deion himself who had signed on to provide that help, along with people like bail bondsman David Wells and attorney Sen. Royce West, both of whom remain in his life. The Cowboys, too, from Jones and Garrett on down, have attempted to guide and bring structure to the life of a young man who experienced a troubled childhood but might slowly be maturing into a better direction.

That “better direction’’ is one Novacek lives every day. Of the old tight end, Hall-of-Fame quarterback Troy Aikman once said, “If I ever have a son, I would want him to grow up to be like Jay.’’

It is encouraging that Dez Bryant, at 23, may just see the same quality in the man.

Sanders’ involvement dates back to Dez’ college days, when the player was suspended in September 2009 for the remainder of that season after lying about having contact with Sanders the NCAA deemed inappropriate. Bryant has bounced back and forth with agent representation, starting with Eugene Parker (a Deion associate), moving to the controversial Drew Rosenhaus, and this summer changing back to Parker.

He’s also spurned offers from people like Pearson, the iconic Cowboys receiver, who recently told 105.3 The Fan that Dez “laughed in my face’’ at the suggestion of mentorship.

But Dez and Novacek? There are no strings attached. There is nobody dictating this to the kid. There is no defined structure to how the relationship might grow.

It is unorthodox, but it is also natural and organic. And it can be a wonderful thing, most of all, because it’s all Dez Bryant’s idea.
