Twitter: Emotional moment, as Cowboys draft former South Carolina CB Israel Mukuamu in sixth round

[Corso]

I try to make it clear...

If I question the decision, it's not against any of the players. I simply question some of the decisions the front office makes at times like when they over-reach or draft too early for a player valued in later rounds. I always support those young players. Glad to see such emotion from said player. It shows how happy he is to become a Dallas Cowboy.

Understandable.
I think this is healthy fandom.

Also, I wasn't attacking anybody who questions the picks, I was just trying to point out what a huge moment it is for the players regardless of our opinions on their abilities.

It wasn't my intent to make any Cowboys Zoners feel attacked and I apologize to anybody that feels that way.

Screw them! If they feel attacked, blame it on me!

Israel: Best corner coming In
Quinn: You'll be covering Cooper, Gallup and Lamb in training Camp...
Israel:Wailing cry!!!

This needs more likes.

Won't you go back and give one now? Operators are standing by.

Just a reminder to all the people that like roasting picks- the draft is a major moment in the lives of these young men and their families. Seeing things like this makes me root for them even more.

Never ever be mad at the player for being picked where they were, just management!

He is already pinned as a safety but the last one on FS in the depth chart, so he need to play with a chip on his shoulder and if he moves up in the depth chart and beat robinson and thompson , which should be easy ( because we saw them playing last year ) then he will stick with the team.

Lol at thompson. Go’s o hate that guys play. I constantly saw him getting trucked

..wow, very emotional vid. Good for him and his family. Hope he does well here.

This strange trend in tweets this year to refer to every player as "former" in relation to their college is unnecessary and irritating.

Happy for the kid.

People criticizing picks are not wishing players any ill will.

I wish I could agree with you but I don't.. I guarantee you there are people who are so caught up in their own desire to be "right" and to be seen as "knowledgeable" they are hoping like hell guys fail. It's an ugly truth but the truth nonetheless. Remember we had people jumping for joy when Dak got hurt because "the offense was going to take off now with a real QB under center...."

Yeah it's like when they call someone a "former Heisman Trophy winner." Uh no.. aside from Reggie Bush everybody who won the thing is still listed as having done so.. And other than Bush and OJ they all probably still have the trophy.. Therefore they are not "former" anything.. They won it.. Period..

That was beautiful.....pulling for him to make the team. Play hard young man.....and just give your best.

“Hospital pass”?

clearly a quick pause of the play, to see the pre-snap defense line-up and subsequent Cowboys players route development shows that Dak placed the ball inside away from DB No.39 whom pealed off Tony Pollard coverage and jumped the underneath Gallup crossing route.

A Hospital pass on that play would be for Dak to lead Gallup right into the defender....which would make it an easier play for a Pick 6 int.

Is this Dak Hate or you just used an incorrect phrase “Hospital pass”

Lol do you read your own comments? Had Dak lead the WR Gallup doesn't turn his back into a potential kill. A pass that was lead gives Gallup an earlier opportunity to make a move and run.

It was a hospital pass, dont over think it.

I was just generalizing. You're always going to have a few. Ever watch a harmless funny cat video on youtube? Or someone may have saved someone from getting hit by a car? You always have that % of dislikes. I like to think it's just your usual few.

Okay I guess in general you are correct. Most of us want like hell for all our guys to play at an all pro level.. I just wish it was unanimous. I can't for the life of me understand the need to be right being so powerful as to wish for guys on my own team to fail. Come to think of it.. I don't want to understand it.

Like I said, think of it as a scant few. The same people probably steal their own mother's credit cards. Don't worry about them.

I don't even want players from other teams to fail. For example, do you think I want Trey Lance to fall flat on his face? Absolutely not. Just when he's playing Dallas. I wish all of these guys the best. I want Dallas to beat the best. It makes for way better football.

Healthy fandom has no place here on the internet my friend!

So you prefer a head-on collision for Gallup instead of turning his back (which allowed Gallup spin-out)

Yep you are descendant of the Eye Test Mafia

He doesn’t take it for granted, that’s for sure.

You can spin it all you want. I call it how it is, but you make it a bigger deal.

People who advocate leading a recevier into a head on collision so the throw can look "prettier" probably never had to go over the middle with linebackers and safeties lurking to take their head off. For those of us who HAVE done we value the hell out of that low pass that gets us under the big hit or the slightly behind throw that allows us to protect ourselves. The last thing you want to do as a receiver going over the middle is be stretching out as a defender sizes you up.
