Horrible. Jerrah went on record last week as saying, "There isn't a guy I'd rather have over Monte" - What a fucking idiot. I get backing your guy in the media, but fuck, let's get real for second.

The Cowboys seriously need to blow it up and start over.

http://cowboysblog.dallasnews.com/2013/12/dallas-cowboys-owner-jerry-jones-coach-jason-garrett-address-players-in-end-of-season-team-meeting.html/


Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and coach Jason Garrett addressed players and coaches for about 25 minutes early Monday afternoon at Valley Ranch in an end-of-season team meeting.

One source in the room said Jones was optimistic as he addressed players and coaches in the team meeting, but promised “big” changes were coming this off-season, though he didn’t get into specifics.

One of the players at the team meeting was starting quarterback Tony Romo, who walked slowly through the hallway at Valley Ranch just after the meeting concluded near 12:30. Romo had back surgery Friday and wasn’t at Sunday’s game against Philadelphia.

Players cleaned out their lockers at Valley Ranch on Monday, most putting their belongings in white, plastic trash bags, the day after the Cowboys’ season ended with a 24-22 loss to the Eagles that kept Dallas out of the playoffs for a fourth consecutive season.

Players reported to Valley Ranch at 9 a.m. Monday for mandatory physicals. Players were going through exit interviews with Garrett and their position coaches Monday.

Big? Recarpeting the locker room? Do tell, JJ

One reason the Cowboys have been unable to escape the pull of .500 in past seasons is that they have paid significant money to players past the age of 30 who were no longer on the rise.

That’s why DeMarcus Ware and Jason Hatcher have found employment elsewhere and Miles Austin will soon follow.

“If we don’t learn from what has bitten us then shame on us,’’ said Stephen Jones, the team’s chief operating officer. “Unfortunately, we have been paying guys who are over 30 years old a lot of money up front and it hasn’t worked for us.

“I’m not saying that Hatcher won’t work out. I’m not saying that Ware won’t work out. But it hasn’t worked out for us, so we have to do something different.’’

Different is releasing Ware and Austin rather than keeping the players and restructuring their contracts to push the money down the road. Different is not signing Hatcher to an extension and allowing him to hit the market.

These moves aren’t a declaration that the club will never again throw big money at a player in his 30s. But it does signal a more critical eye in how these players will be judged.

“I’m not saying we will never do that,’’ Jones said. “There are always exceptions. But when you are coming off of what we have come off of, obviously we have been bit.

“It’s a young man’s game and there is a lot more risk when you’re signing guys past the 30 mark.’’

I like the pick too. They can focus more on defense in the middle rounds. I'm not sure they're even considering taking a safety in the first round. They have a lot of young guys there already, and they probably want to see what they have this season. If they don't work out, then next season they'll consider it.

I like the pick too. The OL is much younger, and should be solid for years now. The Cowboys would have won so many more games last year if they didn't have to throw 40-55 times a game.

He's still only 26 so thats good news. He also only missed 4 games in 4 years with the Texans which means he should be quite durable. Bad news is he missed 7 games last year with the Bears, and his stats were very underwhelming.

http://cowboysblog.dallasnews.com/2014/05/several-recent-dallas-cowboys-decisions-indicate-organizational-myopia.html/


Both Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne can commiserate about the 2013 season. It wasn’t a good one for both cornerbacks. Only two players in the entire NFL were burned more than Carr while Claiborne dealt with the professional indignity of losing his starting role as well as the physical hardship that accompanied shoulder, knee, hamstring, head and finger injuries.

The disappointment that has marked the recent pasts of Carr and Claiborne has surprised many outsiders. Carr, after all, was signed to a five-year $50.1 million deal in 2012. Claiborne was drafted sixth overall that same year after the Cowboys traded up for the rights to choose him. They’re expected to make major contributions. But is it really that shocking that Claiborne and Carr underperformed last season, considering they specialize in man coverage while toiling in a zone-based scheme?

The moves to bring in both players, invest so much in them and then switch defenses less than a year after their acquisitions have to be among the most befuddling the Cowboys have made in recent memory. But it indicates that Dallas operated at the time with a short-term outlook – A sort of myopia that really has sent this franchise into the 8-8 rut from which they have yet to escape.

Organizational decisions aren’t made in a vacuum. There are so many factors to consider when structuring the roster, choosing players and picking what systems to run. In 2013, the Cowboys hedged their bets on quarterback Tony Romo and linebacker Sean Lee, electing to shape the offenses and defenses around both players.

They gave both Romo and Lee contract extensions totaling $150 million. But there was serious risk involved in both deals. Romo was about to be 33 and inextricably linked to Jason Garrett, a head coach that had yet to prove he is a winner and now stands on shaky ground because of his lack of success.

With Garrett in the final year of his contract, there is a realistic possibility that a quarterback at an advanced stage of his career could be forced to direct an entirely different offense next season for the first time since the year he made his inaugural start back in 2006. That could prove as challenging for Romo as recovering from two back surgeries performed in a span of eight months.

But it’s hard to tell if the Cowboys considered such a scenario when they made such a serious commitment to Romo in 2013.

What is clear is the Cowboys did contemplate Lee’s injury history when they locked up the linebacker. Playtime incentives were included in the contract and only a modest portion — $16.13 million – was guaranteed. Still, it’s perilous to build a defense around a player so unreliable from an availability standpoint. Lee has never played a full season and has missed 18 games in his career.

The Cowboys now have to face the consequences of that decision after Lee tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee – a serious blow to a unit that was the NFL’s worst last season and remains unsettled to this day.

The injury to Lee stings so much because he is viewed as an extra coach on the field capable of organizing the players around him. The Cowboys didn’t simply lose a skilled tackler and their top defensive playmaker; They lost much more.

But the Cowboys have made their bed. Carr and Claiborne are playing in a defense that doesn’t suit their strengths and wasn’t in place when they were acquired. Romo is operating under a lame-duck coach and facing the prospect of a new offense next season at a point in his career when such a change could be counterproductive for all parties involved. And the Cowboys are without Lee – a great talent that a bad defense planned to rely upon after the organization bid adieu to DeMarcus Ware and Jason Hatcher this off-season.

As the Cowboys look down the road, the moves they’ve made with each of these players could come back to haunt them simply because they didn’t have the foresight to consider potential scenarios that were plausible or didn’t let those possibilities influence their thinking if they had been discussed. A scheme switch. A possible coaching change brought on by continued underperformance. An injury-prone player getting hurt.

But whether the risk factors tied to each decision were self-induced or beyond their control, the Cowboys can be sure they will be deemed culpable in the end. And if so they only have themselves to blame.

:rolling dude, I have no idea. Obviously, if McClain works out, it's not bad value, but that's not the point. The Ravens would have released him had he asked. Dallas literally gave up picks or nothing, as Rolando is only signed for one year.

[manufan10]

Not a bad deal. Just traded a 6th for a 7th and picked up McClain too. McClain has reportedly wanted to come back, and with the Sean Lee injury it makes sense.

The Cowboys are fucked defensively. The Cowboys are going to have to focus on a ball control offense to keep the opposing teams offense on the field as little as possible, but the Cowboys have built a primarily pass first offense. The offensive line's ability to create running lanes for the RB's will be key in being competitive this year. Murray will probably miss games also, he always does so hopefully Dunbar and Randle are ready to go.

[TE]

The defensive will be bad again but not as bad as last year imo. The main problem will be pass rushing the QB. We have little to no specialists in that area. Expect the defense to get carved up.

:lol Cowboys

"Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan is a fan of the Dallas Cowboys (http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/team/dallas-cowboys/67043), but he didn't want his daughter marrying one in particular. Cowboys center Phil Costa (http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/player/phil-costa/770519) popped the question to Brooke Hogan in June 2013 in Las Vegas. But just six months later, she had a change of heart and called off the engagement so she could focus on her music career. (http://www.foxsports.com/southwest/story/report-brooke-hogan-calls-off-engagement-to-cowboys-ol-costa-112213)

But that isn't the whole story.

Brooke's dad apparently stepped in because he didn't approve of Costa. "I love the Dallas Cowboys, been a fan forever, but my daughter was engaged to one of those guys and he didn't walk the walk and talk the talk," Hogan said on 105.3-FM The Fan. (http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2014/08/01/hulk-hogan-sheds-light-on-brookes-failed-relationship-with-dallas-cowboy/) "I put a bullet in that really quick. There was no way my daughter was going to marry somebody that I don't like that got me mad, or has got in my face."Hogan got mad but says Costa didn't attempt to let it escalate any further. "He knew better than to step up 'cause he would have gotten slammed just like Andre the Giant."

He's anywhere between top 4 - 7 receiver in the league, but he also comes with a ton of baggage. It already seems like he's going to want to get overpaid even after the Cowboys took a chance on him in the draft and stuck with him after he was going around slapping his mom cause she wanted crack.

Since he beat his moms ass he has been a model citizen. The media tries so hard to blow things out of proportion, but he has done a great job of squashing any bullshit.

[DJR210]

Yeah, the linebacker corp is trash. Lawrence, Spencer, and Lee all being out, what do you expect. The Cowboys need to really take a look at their training staff (leading the NFL in hamstring injuries in 2013, FTW), and the durability of some of these potential draft picks. We also need to avoid drafting players with obvious intelligence issues (:lol Claiborne). The Spurs formula of drafting/signing intelligent players who fit a system first is a strategy that will carry over no matter the sport.

The O-Line will be much improved. Next year the Cowboys need to start working on the D-Line with the first pick. As long as Jerry's potential merchandise seller picks are held in check by members of the front office who aren't senile, the Cowboys should expect to be competetive in a few years of solid drafting.

[manufan10]

It's kind of weird though that most, if not all, of the injuries happen on the defensive side of the ball. They're the ones that cannot stay healthy for whatever reason. We can blame the training staff, but if it is we'd see a lot more injuries on the offensive side as well.

what is it with the cowboys' infatuation with project players? namely slow, white, injury prone safeties.

[DJR210]

what is it with the cowboys' infatuation with project players? namely slow, white, injury prone safeties.

They should follow the Parcells model and draft a shit load players with size and stay away from the projects. Maybe we can get some durability out of someone for a change. As for the project drafting, BW Webb is another instance of this, he won't amount to shit when it's said and done. His job is on the line against Patmon and Mitchell at the moment. Cowboys love doing this shit.

[slick'81]

Now Webb is gone another former 4th rounder bites the dust.

[DJR210]

Now Webb is gone another former 4th rounder bites the dust.

:lmao I called that shit.. this is why the Cowboys are stuck at .500. They waste 7/9 picks per year whereas a Seattle or a New England finds the best corner in the league in the 6th round.. smh.

Look at the failed pick of Anthony Hitchens.. This fucking moron on day one comes in and declares "he is not ready to play" at this level. Typical beta response, and has failure in his DNA. Get some fucking balls and jump at the chance to play substantial time as a rookie. They draft injury prone weaklings and pussies, that's the Jones way.

Parcells literally failed once during his three years of drafting. Bobby Carpenter. Look at the turnaround he (Parcells) drove. Spencer was once on the bubble as his draft pick, but he has turned things around nicely, albeit with the injury problems.

Cowboys stockpile 7 (iirc) 7th round picks, and instead of using them wisely trying to scrape up the last of the remaining talent, they just use the "disposable draft pick" method and draft a bunch of shit expecting to polish them into diamonds. The Cowboys have improved over the past two years with their number 1 picks, but then fuck themselves out of the remaining rounds. Gavin Escobar in the 2nd round? James Hanna is better than him and will be the #2 this year.

[DJR210]

Now Webb is gone another former 4th rounder bites the dust.

Also, expect J.J. Wilcox to follow him, expect he will be cut next year.
