Cowboys Break talking about Ratliff

Dallas has already taken the brunt of the hit for that contract and still has 5M in dead money because of it.

Guaranteed another team would be more than willing to take that contract on.

From how they sound it just sounds like from people theyve talked to inside the team, its probably done

Gosh, if Miles could stay healthy he is always a great playmaker.

I don't know about Rat though. He was one of my favorites. He seriously has turned bad... Sad to say he may be gone..

Ratliff
Austin

I tend to agree with them.

[LatinMind]

Now they're talking about Garrett and are talking bout the report this morning. Name they are talking bout is strictly Norv. Saying if they bring somebody in they think it has to be somebody with familiarity with Jerry and Jason.

Saying something needs to be done because Jason seems arrogant in situations. Like that drive before the half.

[Zordon]

What exactly did they say about Austin? Were they referring to his work habits? Toughness?

[MartinRamone]

Trade them both (Rat and Austin) for whatever pick you can get, they are not worth keeping.

Good. Ratliff needs to go. They tried to rely on him too much and it did not end well. Maybe instead of continually pinning their hopes on him to regain his 2009 form, they will just give up and start looking for the next anchor.

its big cap hit. Will be interesting to see if Jerry bites the bullet in 2013 and does full rebuild.

they said specifically that Thoughts on austin around the organization isnt a pretty picture. And when they talk about Wrs with the coaches for instance with dez they always talk about his love for the game and nothing of the sort when topic goes to austin. Spounds like once he got the money he lost his desire

I expect Ratliff back personally. In today cap world you can't fix every problem in one offseason. Last year that clearly tried fixing the secondary. This year I expect the focus to come on the OLine.

We're doomed as fans if the powers that be make decisions based upon whether the fans will put up with it. If rebuilding is the best for the long term success of the team, then thats what should be done regardless of any fan outrage. They were outraged when they fired Landry, all things change when you win and that's the name of the game. Its not like the fans have been happy for the last 17 years and they haven't gone anywhere so do whatever gives them the best chance to succeed long term

And lock Jerry out of the process

But if somehow we cut Ratliff, and most likely Spears is gone. So our DL is Hatcher, Lissemore, and Crawford. Exciting.
