When you're making Rex Grossman look like Dan Marino, you got problems.
Alan Ball has been such a fail all season

Have fun with this one, from the local fishwrap:

And now, some of you hope those rumors out of Dallas are true — that Jerry Jones wants to put together a package and trade for Stafford.
I laughed.
Mcgee for Stafford straight up.
The Boys should use their first pick on the OkSt kicker. Guy drilled a 50 yarder like it was nothing. :lol
At least draft a kicker, not just hope one falls into your lap. I'd wait until the 5th round at least, but try and get a good one. It does help you win games you know.
You would think Marioin Barber has ZERO chance at making next years roster.
With the Rob Ryan hiring, the defense should improve tenfold. Some changes I'd make on the defensive side of the ball are: Trade/Cut Newman(old and overrated), put Ball back to db( he sucks at safety), move Ratliff to de, start Brent at dt(?)start Sean Lee.
As far as free agency goes I'd bring in Michael Huff from Oakland. He is good at pass protection, solid tackler and knows Ryan's scheme. Picking up a good dt would be nice too, Haloti Ngata or Wilfork.
In the draft I'd pick either Patterson or Akamura, whichever one is left. If they are both gone, I'd trade down and pick up a OL or draft a DE.
Rofl yeah, just pick up 1 of the two best 3-4 nose tackles in the NFL, I'm sure it won't be that hard.Quote:

Probably because the asking price is too high, and not a top priority for the Boys.Quote:

3) They won't be the only team in the NFL going after Ngata if Baltimore lets him hit free agency.
4) Baltimore has a franchise tag to prevent him from hitting free agency.

As far as Ngata, we'll see come March 4th. If they don't tag him by then I still don't see how it would hard for ANY team with enough cap to try to sign him.
:lmao:lmao:lmao are you fuckin retarded, Wilfork isn't even 30 yet and the Patriots gave him a 5 year contract not even a full year ago. He's easily their most valuable player not named Tom Brady. The Patriots get rid of players when they're at the very least a few years into their 30s and in the last year of their deal. They don't get rid of a 29 year old probowl nose tackle whose still in his prime and has 4 years left on his deal.Quote:

Report: Cowboys owner Jerry Jones will target safeties in free agency
By Rainer Sabin / Reporter
[email protected]
The Cowboys needed a safety. That was the consensus opinion before the NFL Draft last month. Yet during that last weekend of April they passed over every prospect that specialized at that position.
While the 2011 college safety class was considered thin by talent evaluators, the Cowboys' decision to avoid addressing one of their weak areas seemed curious. After all, Alan Ball was destined to return to cornerback following his underwhelming performance at free safety last season while strong safety Gerald Sensabaugh's status with the team remains uncertain because he is an unrestricted free agent.
If neither Ball nor Sensabaugh are there to serve as the last line of defense, who would be pressed into action? It's hard to imagine that the Cowboys would rely upon Akwasi Owusu-Ansah, Barry Church or Danny McCray -- three reserves who were on the field for a total of 265 plays last season and have yet to practice under the watchful eyes of new defensive coordinator Rob Ryan.
So, it seems obvious that the Cowboys will address their needs through free agency. And that suspicion is corroborated by this item on Pro Football Weekly's website:
We have heard for months that defensive coordinator Rob Ryan has targeted some veterans to go after, players who will fit his scheme, and it only makes sense to think that former Raiders S Michael Huff could be one of them. Ryan coached Huff when the two were in Oakland together a few years back. Sources say Ryan has Jerry Jones' ear and that the owner will target a veteran of his choosing at the position.
If that is indeed the case, will Ryan seek alternatives at the cornerback position as well? Stay tuned.
http://cowboysblog.dallasnews.com/ar...jerry-jon.html
Please GOD yes....
Barber, Columbo, Williams, Columbo all gone? Hallelujah...'cept maybe Columbo...not sure about getting rid of Kris Brown though...I'm not comfortable with Buehler not being contested.
if it means having a higher chance at getting a big name free agent, i'd cut the 2nd string kicker any day of the week
Yeah..but I was thinking he may become the first string kicker...Buehler's a good kickoff guy, but we need a better field goal kicker.Quote:

Great deal. Now we need a safety (Michael Huff maybe).Quote:

Cowboys coach Jason Garrett, LB DeMarcus Ware excited about addition of DE Kenyon Coleman
By Brandon George / Reporter
[email protected]
1:22 PM on Sat., Jul. 30, 2011
SAN ANTONIO -- Cowboys linebacker DeMarcus Ware said he's excited about the team signing free agent defensive end Kenyon Coleman and called him an important addition because of his knowledge of new defensive coordinator Rob Ryan's system.
Late Friday night, the Cowboys agreed to terms with Coleman on a two-year contract worth $3.5 million. Coleman started 27 games for Ryan in Cleveland from 2008 to 2009. Coleman last played for the Cowboys in the 2006 season.
"You can lean on him, talk to [him]. He's played [Ryan's defense] already. He's done it. Half of the guys who have been here haven't done anything with it," Ware said. "Him coming in and teaching some of the guys - especially me what to do - is good."
Ware said Coleman will help the Cowboys "a lot."
"When he comes in, he's a monster. He hunkers down," Ware said. "He's one of those unselfish players who gets down there in the two-gap and at the end of the day you might stick him out there at linebacker and let him rush out there and make him feel good. To be able to have him back, I had him here my first year, he's a great leader on the team."
Cowboys coach Jason Garrett also said Coleman is a welcomed addition.
"Kenyon Coleman is a guy who has been a really good football player in this scheme," Garrett said. "He has a good understanding of the technique, he pushes the pocket well as a pass-rush guy and is an experienced, veteran guy who can help the other guys understand what we're trying to do up front, so a really good addition to us."

LB DeMarcus Ware also willing to restructure his contract to create salary cap space to sign free agents; What's next?
By Brandon George / Reporter
[email protected]
11:14 AM on Sat., Jul. 30, 2011
SAN ANTONIO -- Cowboys linebacker DeMarcus Ware said Friday that he would be willing to restructure his contract to create salary cap space for the team to sign free agents.
Quarterback Tony Romo said earlier in the week he'd do the same. The Cowboys also could restructure the contract of WR Miles Austin.
Ware said he had no problem re-working his contract.
"Oh yeah," he said. "That's fine with me."
Ware's cap number is $11.3 million and if the Cowboys cut it by the maximum amount they could reduce the figure to $5.9 million.
If the Cowboys restructure all three players' contracts, they could help with cap space by an additional $17.5 million.
The team's executive vice president Stephen Jones said earlier in the week that restructuring the contracts is a "work in progress." The Cowboys won't do it now because if they did, the three players wouldn't be allowed to practice again until Aug. 4, the first official day of the new league year, per the new CBA.
As of now, though, the Cowboys have struck out on making any kind of major impact via free agency. Re-signing your previous players and adding Kenyon Coleman doesn't exactly scream for headlines.
But it's not like owner Jerry Jones to sit back and not send a message to the fanbase that the Cowboys are contenders. He'll especially want to do something now that the Philadelphia Eagles swooped in Friday to sign top free agent CB Nnamdi Asomugha, keeping the Cowboys from signing him.
Free agent safety Abram Elam is still a target.
http://cowboysblog.dallasnews.com/ar...o-willing.html
How ya feelin about our 'boys chances this year, '120?
Not so damn good right now...diminished receiving corps...need some SERIOUS secondary help. Especially with Rob Ryan's system. You HAVE to have a good secondary to cover with all the blitzing. At least there's a lot of movement..defense looks a lot faster under him. He has one formation where there's 2 DE's and 5 LB's....crazy. But if our secondary isn't covering when they blitz, teams are going to catch us and go underneath. Little worried about that..Elam, Huff, maybe even Asante would make me feel better...but I don't know.Quote:

By Brandon George / Reporter

7:42 AM on Sun., Jul. 31, 2011
SAN ANTONIO -- New Cowboys defensive coordinator Rob Ryan spoke on the phone with free agent safety Abram Elam last night, according to a tweet from Elam (@abeelam).
Elam played for Ryan at Cleveland, and it appears the Cowboys are leaning on Ryan to recruit the free agent to come to Dallas. The Cowboys need safety help, but Elam might be holding out for big money (considering what others safeties have signed for already in this year's market, and that his agent is Drew Rosenhaus) and the Cowboys' desire is to sign two safeties. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Saturday the Cowboys could sign two safeties. If they sign Elam at an overpriced rate, it wouldn't allow them to sign one or two others players possibly because of the team's tight salary cap situation.
Signing Elam becomes a priority for the Cowboys even more now that Michael Huff, the top free agent safety left on the market, re-signed with his former team, the Oakland Raiders , this morning. Huff, the Irving Nimitz and Texas product, appeared to never get much interest from the hometown Cowboys.
Elam would be a good addition. He'd start at safety and be able to teach teammates about the new defense, helping them learn it quicker with such a short time to work with because of what the lockout cost the Cowboys. Also, Ryan's defense needs quality safeties because of the pressure he likes to send. You have to have help in the back or you risk getting beat deep when the pressure doesn't get to the quarterback.
Elam tweeted, "Just hung up with Rob Ryan he spoke about how good @terencenewman1 and the defense is and can be.. I told him well #CTMFC#"
The last part of the tweet, CTMFC, stands for cut the check (with some colorful language thrown in between). Will the Cowboys cut the check? Depends on Elam's asking price probably. But you know Jones wants to make a splash this free agency after losing out to the rival Philadelphia Eagles earlier this week on top free agent cornerbacker Nnamdi Asomugha.

Finally some good news for our Boys...Elam signed...
SAN ANTONIO -- The Dallas Cowboys continue to systematically address their needs in free agency.
A day after agreeing to a one-year deal with Gerald Sensabaugh, the Cowboys on Wednesday night signed safety Abram Elam to a one-year contract, according to sources.
More on the Cowboys
Elam, who played for the Cowboys in 2006, will be reunited with new defensive coordinator Rob Ryan in Dallas. Elam started 31 of 32 games the last two years with the Browns and was credited by the coaches with 77 tackles last season to go along with two interceptions, two pass breakups, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and 10 pass deflections.
Elam, who turns 30 in October, started 48 games in the four years since he was cut by the Cowboys. He had 13 tackles and a forced fumble with the Cowboys in 2006, but he was caught up in the coaching change after Bill Parcells resigned and Wade Phillips was brought in.
Since free agency began, the Cowboys have addressed their needs along the offensive and defensive lines with the signings of Doug Free, Kyle Kosier, Marcus Spears and Kenyon Coleman and have now done the same at safety with Sensabaugh and Elam.
The Cowboys are still looking at the possibility of adding more help on the offensive line in free agency.

Tbh the Cowboys will make a big step forward the day they don't go into the season expecting Terrence Newman to be an elite corner.
Already made that step, DoK..I don't think they expect that. At least I know I don't. He's average at best..especially with the constant ability to NOT be healthy.Quote:

I don't know what happened last year...I'm hoping it had something to do with Wade Phillips...I don't have any other explanation for going from first to basically last in Defense. I can only hope Rob Ryan can get those boys going. With his defense, the way he blitzes a lot, we'll need good coverage corners.Quote:

After that there is what, fucking Ball who was terrible last season at safety, and McCann and Owosu, who are totally unproven. Boys really needed to bring in a vet. Going to be a long season.
Ware and Austin both restructured, creating 12 million in cap space.Quote:

Cowboys sign QB Brandstater, WR after releasing 2
SAN ANTONIO (AP) - The Dallas Cowboys have signed quarterback Tom Brandstater and receiver Dominique Edison after they were cut by other teams.
Brandstater, cut by Miami, and Edison, who was with Seattle, were added to the roster in time for Sunday's practice.
Dallas had open roster spots after quarterback Zack Eskridge and nose tackle Billy Blackard were released Saturday.
Brandstater was drafted out of Fresno State by Denver in the sixth round in the 2009 draft. He was released last year after the Broncos drafted Tim Tebow and acquired Brady Quinn. Brandstater had since had time on practice squads in Indianapolis and Miami.
Edison, a Texas native who played at Stephen F. Austin, was drafted by Tennessee in 2009. He went to Seattle after being released by the Titans this year.

I agree with this for the most part. I think Newman is done too, even when healthy last season he was noticeably slower. He is way too unreliable at this point, always a liability for lower body injuries.Quote:

Scandrick is fast and thats about it..he's less valuable than McCann at this point with McCann's return skills..that should be an interesting battle at camp though. Ball is getting switched BACK to CB again, he just cannot settle in. We do not have any playmakers at safety either..Cowboys need an anchor back there from this years draft for sure.
Hopefully Ryan lights a fire under these guys, I do like his attitude thus far.
Damn, I was at Chris Madrids the day before they were there. I went to eat right after watching their practice...:lolQuote:

The rookie wr's looked great too. Harris and Radway looked like they might be pushing Ogletree for that #3 spot.
Really couldn't tell anything from last night's game other than the fact that the Harris kid could be a contributor this season at WR. After Dez and Austin it's wide open

oh yeah and tyron smith is a fcking monster
Yup, you can tell the difference in the offense with some young quick guys on the O-line. We can actually pull of screen passes now:downspin:
Shit..that was our major problem on offense last year, was the line. If we can hold and give Romo some time, we'll put some points on the board this year. We just need Newman and Jenkins to step up this year when they get back.Quote:

They should move Olshansky to nose tackle and move Ratliff to the outside. We need an ox in the middle to make sure our line doesn't get pushed back when other teams try to run up the gut. And I think Igor gets in Ware's way, anyway. If we switch those two, Ratliff will give Ware more room to get around, and Igor can hold back some O-Linemen, and maybe make us a little stronger stopping the run game. Just my opinion.Quote:
