Could the Answers At RT & WR Be Available Soon? - Dallas Cowboys Forum

mperfection · 06-09-2005

OT - Ross Verba, 8-year vet pending release from the Browns. (Perhaps sign him to a 2-3 year deal?)

WR - Rod Gardener, pending release from the Redskins. We need another vet WR going into this year. My biggest concerns with Keyshawn and Glenn are not ability but availability, as injury to either should be of concern to us at this stage in their careers. I think Gardener is a serviceable back-up who could be signed for 1-year deal.

no and I wouldn't mind Gardner

Gardener sounds nice, very nice

I hope there are no casinos near Dallas because Gardner is in Atlantic City like every other week. He has a serious gambling problem. I would have to pass. Cowboys are leaning towards high quality guys this off season and he is not one of them. One thing he has going for him is that his girlfriend is smoking a 10

I don't want either.

I think so.

A WR just became a priority for Dallas with the injury to Morgan in the mini-camp.

A #3 WR like Morgan that has sholuder problems that will require surgery after the season means he won't make it thru the season and if he does, he'll be 50% effective.at best. Have the surgery and clean it up for next year. This is June for crying out loud. He might be able to make it back before the season is over.

Look at what JuJo did in '04.

And if he goes ahead and plays, he sure won't be the go-to guy they had envisioned him to be if BP thinks he's going to cough up the ball when the DB's go for his shoulder to separate him from the ball.

This was a thin area of the team before his injury. It's now a gapping hole. Especially if either Glenn or Key don't recover fully or have a re-injury.

This position smacks of the CB Achilles heel problem of last year.

Here we are, knowing a key guy we need to rely on is dinged and has a shakey hold on his position. And we know it well in advance of TC and need to find another guy,

Will BP play the cards he has like last year or will he ask for some new cards to try to save his hand...?

We will see what he learned from last year. I'll bet Bledsoe has been talking BP's ears off about this since the Morgan injury.

"Find me another WR"..please.

More likely look for Parcells guys, Chrebet, Law or that old Tackle guy - Whats his name again LTN? Jumbo Elliot is it?

I don't advocate 2/3 of this - but its not out of Bills good ol boy network realms

Nors, don't worry anbout Jumbo showing up - his back hardly made it thru 1999 season.

Compacity · 06-09-2005

Rod Gardner would be good, cause he consistent, and he could stay healthy a whole season... Just imagine him with a good quarterback in Drew Bledsoe with a excellent blocking line...

It's still hard enough for me to imagine Bledsoe being all that good. Now you want me to imagine Gardner being good with him? You're asking too much.

Elliot has been retired for about 5 years

DLCassidy · 06-09-2005

I agree and said I did not agree on signing him in my post,

See Murrell signing - that dude was at least 3+ seasons out of football at the time as well.....

But he made Parcells led 2000 team and played 10 games and in 2002 played 16 games. He's 2 years removed from NFL factually. A reach for sure.
