I hope it all amounts to something but I have to see it on the field first before I believe anything or get excited for him. We've all heard training camp fluff 100 times before and this reeks of a big push to rehabilitate his image. He's a Cowboy so I'm rooting for him but I'm not buying it for a second until I see a much better player on the field. He was just soo awful last year that I'm in don't tell me, show me mode with him.

I know he fell asleep during a meeting but who said he didn't work hard?

This is NOT the kind work ethic we've been hearing about..........something's wrong. One word.....patience


Excellent. That is wonderful to read. He has an elite first step. If he can cultivate everything else, he could be a very good 3T and it starts with him.

I'm seriously rooting for him.

I don't care about his pressers. Coach Pop is a butthole at pressers. Who cares about pressers?

Pressers? We talkin' about pressers? We talkin' about pressers. Pressers. Not the game. Pressers.

we shall see in 3 weeks. However how much can we get from the 1st few games without PS games for them to work out the kinks.
I am sure many will say bust for many players because they miss a few plays game one. I look for some sloppy play all around the league. Especially team changing schemes.

He was also about 325 pounds when we drafted him at age 21. If has even average maturity and motivation now, he has the physical skills to be an above average starter. Too soon to tell obviously, but the tools are there.

The guy obviously needs positive reinforcement for his hard work and it's good to see Tomsula throwing it out there.
Not everybody is made out of leather and large monetary investments are being made in this case.
Marinelli going full Marine on him was probably not the way to go.

This is all that you can ask of a player, I'm glad to hear that Trysten is giving it his all. Do I wish he had taken this approach last season, yes, but I choose not to focus on my disappointment of him last season but on his newly found commitment and my continued hope that he becomes the best player he can be.

The threat of getting cut sunk in. I am guessing someone had a very short and to the point talk with him. Don't care if you were a 2nd round pick, show something or you will be gone.

He seems like he might be the kind of guy that would shut down to that kind of talk.
Maybe it was a different kind of talk.

Thank God it's not Marinelli saying this.
We could just brush it off.
