With Ryan wanting to blitz so much, having Ball and Claiborne as DBs could REALLY benefit us, if Claiborne is as good as advertised.Quote:

I hope Jerry can find a way to get back into the 2nd. Possibly find a suitor that will take Mike Jenkins and 4th for a 2nd.

Drafting well so far, imo. We'll see what he plans on doing the rest of the draft.Quote:

Well, Cowboys with only one pick today at #81. Still possible Jerry makes a move to the 2nd. Assuming they stay with that pick I'm going with S or WR. Broyles would be a great fit in the slot with Dez and Miles out wide.
Kid was a homerun....a pipe dream. Trade Jenks...move Scandrick to Safety. We have Carr and Claiborne..our DB's got this.
He plays bigger then his listed 5'11 frame. Its great that his has WR experience and watching that video he plays the ball a lot like a WR.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.
Quote:
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.

nvm
I also would like to see that insider article... pleeeeease?????
I don't think posting Insider articles is a good idea anymore given what's happening upstairs atm.
I read part of it, and was looking forward to reading it when I got home. Thanks a lot timvp!
:lol
