Peerless Price in town today?
I understand he’ll be in town late today and do the official visit tomorrow meeting with the coaches and and a few players. He was at Miami early today, and New England supposedly was interested. That looks to be it right now, but I wouldn’t be surprised if another couple of teams jump in there.
Was he a disappointment or a bad fit in Atlanta?
He was a bust, no other way to say it. Its nice to catch passes against a #2 CB when the other team is double teaming Eric Moulds. In Atlanta, teams were game planning how to take him away.
Quincy Morgan gone?
I think so. He is probably trying to accelerate it with his comments. He’s a cool dude, and a friend of mine, but the fact remains he didn’t perform when he needed to so another guy took his job. Read his quotes, you can tell he’s looking to get out of here.
What are you watching tonight?
Marcus Spears, the first time we’ve seen him in a game situation. Kevin Burnett, he has playmaker all over him and he’ll eventually take over at OLB. He kind of gets overshadowed a little bit by Ware. Patrick Crayton to see if he continues to perform. Drew Henson to see any signs of improvement, just to get a little bit of confidence.
Burnett has been all over the place in games, just like he was at Tennesse. Who’s job does he take.
He'll take Singleton's job, no doubt. The question is how long will it take to get ready? 6 weeks? A month. He’s big, he’s fast enough to run with the TE, and he has a natural instinct to make plays. Al Singleton is small for the position, can’t run with TE’s and is always in position but never makes any big plays.
Henson regressed?
Looks like it to my untrained eye. There just hasn’t been one time this preseason where you thought “Oh, he’s turning it around now”. All preseason he’s struggled.
There’s rumblings that he’s Jerry’s guy and not Parcell’s guy.
I can’t speak for Parcells, but I do know that he is Jerry’s guy. Jerry has said he views him as a 1st round pick. So he’ll get opportunity after opportunity even when others get released.
Do you believe in Parcells mind that he thinks Romo or Henson can be the guy in the future.
I would say no just based on his comments . When you refer to someone as “functional”, that’s not much of a complement.
Will the Cowboys look at QB in the draft next year?
If it were me, that’s what I would do. Bledsoe is 33, nearing the end of his career. No better time than to draft a QB in the first round now, so you can sit him a year or two behind Bledsoe and then be ready when Bledsoe retires.
It appears they don’t trust Jose Cortez? Who does kick?
Anybodies guess. They’ll probably give Cortez the job at the beginning, but everytime he misses a kick they’ll be cycling in guys on Tuesday. Wouldn’t shock me at all if Cundiff comes back when he’s healthy. That’s probably why they released him so fast, because the faster you come to an injury settlement with a player the faster the can rejoin the team. They can get him Week 9.
The way Parcells wants to play games this year with ball control and offense, kickers are huge.
They’re vital, and you can’t be missing 31 yard field goals whether you’re rushed or hurried. Cortez has a history of inconsistency, so maybe we shouldn’t be surprised.
