Jackson wants to be a Cowboy - Dallas Cowboys Forum

Rocco · 04-23-2004

BALLOU: "There are rumors that Philadelphia would like to take you. What have you heard from the Eagles' camp?"

JACKSON: "I haven't heard anything this week. It's been pretty quiet on my end. I did hear that Philadelphia is interested, but my dad, along with Dallas Cowboys fans, are praying that they make a move or a surprise trade or something to get higher in the draft, because I don't think I'll be around at the 22nd pick."

BALLOU: "How excited will you be if the Dallas Cowboys select you?"

JACKSON: "I would be extremely excited. Dallas is America's Team, and if you're an American, you've got to be a fan. I would be extremely happy because Coach Bill Parcells is a Hall of Fame coach and I would love to learn the game from him and I think he would help me for many years to come."

BALLOU: "If you do go to Dallas and you get to endorse something in Dallas, what one thing in Dallas would you like to endorse?"

JACKSON: "Cowboy boots. It would be something different. Not only does it represent the state of Texas, but it represents the Cowboys, and if you're going to be a Cowboy, you have to have a pair of spurs on."

They typed Philly in the first question, but I'm guessing that's a typo and Ballou really said Dallas. Either that or Jackson is easily confused..

I hope he gets his wish

[font=Century Gothic]Sweet. Too bad he most likely won't be sitting around come pick #22.

will have to trade up to get him.come on JJ do it.

Wheat · 04-23-2004

I heard the Jets are trying to trade Lamont Jordan to Oakland.

Maybe this will open up them to take Jackson around #12.

Hostile · 04-23-2004

I still say we will get him.

OldButDeadly · 04-23-2004

Maybe with Allen and our pick we can move up...thats the only likely scenario of us moving up to get him....even that is a stretch....

If Det trades down...he is gone!

I am wondering since he is talking like that if he has been told the cowboys will move up to take him or something.

Most guys do not say a particular team before drafted unless they have a feeling about the chance of being drafted by them.

I hate to give up picks, but if we can get some extra picks somehow then I hope we move to take him.

BTW HOSTILE...check your private messages.

I would LOVE for him to fall to us. Question....Is he that much better than K. Jones? Thoughts?

Dr. Z has K. Jones going before Jackson in his mock. Jones to the Broncos at 17 and Jackson to the Ravens (via trade) at 21. Jones is speedier, but Jackson brings a load. He's definitely a Parcells type back..

I hope we can somehow package our first and Larry Allen in order to move up to somewhere in the teens if he's still around then. That way we wouldn't have to sacrifice any draft picks.

jkbear11 · 04-23-2004

cool~~~ as long as we get SJ or KJ.... i will be happy...

Jimmie · 04-23-2004

Stephen Jackson has been my #1 pick for the 'Boys all along. Not saying he would fall to them, just saying that's who I've wanted them to get. If he's not there take Jones or drop down and get extra picks!

EXCITING WEEKEND coming up to say the least!
