Yeah, see....I don't have much time for that mindset. You're basically telling me to never pay attention to anything you say on the team because you'll always spin it positive. Tell me what you really think not what you want to believe.

The fact that they are Cowboys doesn't play a role in their ability or durability.

I see neither player being on the 2014 team

That's probably right.

Oh well. We'll always have those fluff articles in the summer of 2012. Good times.

I'm not writing him off, but it doesn't look good right now.

Don't get me wrong, I want to see Danny succeed as he is one of my favorite Hokies of all time. But my post had nothing to do with his success in the NFL, just that it is silly to imply we drafted a player made of "glass." 4 years as a starter in a run first offense without constant injuries should disprove that theory.

I see, if I think the guys can play and I am pulling for them, you don't have time for my opinion. I believe that the coaches and scouts know a whole lot more than a bunch of people on a message board.

But it doesn't. Quit living in the past. That's like saying Vince young is an elite quarterback, just because he was good in college. Dude has had 3 injuries since the start of his "NFL career"

its not fair if you are going to counter with common sense

Coale, a fifth-round pick out of Virginia Tech, suffered the injury during the special teams’ portion of Thursday’s practice while covering a kickoff. He was not touched on the play and needed a cart to get him to the locker room.

He will undergo surgery in a few weeks and the normal recovery from a torn ACL is 6-9 months, which would allow Coale to possibly be back for the June mini-camp.

Coale’s rookie season started badly when he suffered a stress fracture in the first organized team activity that required surgery in the spring. He missed parts of training camp and also had a hamstring strain. He caught two passes for 21 yards in limited preseason work.

He was among the Cowboys final cuts and has spent the season on the practice squad.

Oh, for sure, all is baren desert at Valley Ranch...but if you are using a divining rod to determine whether there is riches of water there yet, get your stick calibrated. One just doesn't know at this point.

he is an RKG so he will heal in half the time.

Not really what you want to hear.

Sucks for him but he'll likely have another shot or two to show that he can play in the league, provided he can show he can stay healthy enough.

I don't really expect anything from him at this point. If he somehow contributes, awesome. If not, whatever.
