Best words written....I listened to this segment, and Goose was his usail pessimistic hating self....nothing anyone does in the Cowboys organization is done correctly....in the world according to goose.....

He was right on his OL comments, but we all already know that ourselves.

If true, it is a sad indictment of the state of the Dallas front office. By far, the most beneficial thing to this team would be a qualified GM, with a long term vision, leading the personnel acquistion efforts.

I paraphrased Mickey's account of the story when he talked about in his show earlier this year.

Another checkmark for junk today, somehow, someway a discussion of Goose's opinions of the 4-3 switch turned into "Jerry is not a qualified GM" argument.

I want to correct you on it being Goose's opinion. His write-ups are based on a consensus of what GMs and scouts around the league have told him on the players. Goose doesn't know how to scout talent.

I don't know if this has been said or not, but...

Championship!

In the original thread I said that I mis-typed that. I didn't mean to come out as Goose's own scouting report, but rather what he collected from his sources.

I was pretty sure you knew, I just didn't want certain posters to continue to twist and contort the story further.

Great draft guy but he should stick to lays eggs instead of commenting on football matters. Even Jerry know more than Gosling in that area.

Boo hoo.

It is the biggest issue (and handicap) that this team deals with it, but we're just not supposed to talk about it?

Oddly enough, it would rarely be brought up if there weren't a contingent of people around here that, for some odd reason, don't think it is a problem.

Go to other boards....you get the occasional grumble about Jerry, but it is widely accepted as an issue and it is rarely discussed.

Maybe you should stick with the thread topic.

[Heisenberg]

I agree with him on the safeties.

The end.

I've posted several times in this thread....all of them were on topic. I did not bring up the Goose report....I just replied to it with my opinion. That's still allowed around here, right?

If you don't care for that line of discussion, you certainly do not need to reply to my post and you certainly don't need to respond.

If you would have read my earlier posts #27 and #34 we actually agree on personnel issues regardless of scheme.

The Jerry GM stuff is just redundant info that I think doesn't belong in this thread considering its about Goose's opinion on the 4-3 switch. Whatever floats your boat but I'm sure I'm not the only one that gets tired of the JJ GM that tends to find its way in just about every thread.

Yes he does. He'd be very good at it, I'd wager. Strong and can get after the passer. Just what you need at that SDE position.

No, but he should be very good in a 43... which is the defense he should have been playing in all along.

Crazy talk. Yes we do. Ratliff can do it, and Hatcher can do it, and maybe Crawford can do it (along with playing SDE too). Besides, you will likely see an early draft pick at DT to supplement what we already have. Very deep draft for DT's.

Yes we do. Carter can do it. Ernie Sims can and has done it. 43 OLB's are cheap to acquire anyway/easy to fill, so we could find one cheap in FA or draft one in the mid to late rounds. Same goes for SLB, so whichever OLB spot Carter doesn't play can be easily found.

Originally Posted by Goose

we dont have the safety in place either, really emphasizing Safety, high round pick

That was a need no matter which scheme Dallas plays, so it doesn't even belong in this conversation. Safety is important to Kiffin though, so look for an early pick here too.

IMO, Goose needs to think more before he just throws something out there.

It belongs in the thread because someone made referenced to it and Hostile asked the poster to explain. I just remember the thread because it was an interesting post that you happened to make. Nothing more, nothing less.

Junk replied to my reply of a question in the thread. The thread flowed that way. There's a lot of sensitivity around here.

It appears that you and junk are the sensitive ones.

All I said basically was let's keep this convo going without the "JJ the GM" stuff and keep it about Goose and his comments.
