I miss McBriar. We needed a thumper again. Hope this guy is that.

This should be interesting, but DON'T get suckered into going drinking with him!

Atleast they know jones isn't the answer. He is very average.

Man ain't that the truth. Those Aussies can put it away! Ones I met were some of the nicest most fun to party with though.

Back to the OT. Hope he can be another Mcbriar..

I think they are trying something closer to a time share, and not wearing Jone's leg out before the season starts. Then, there is a growing stand by list that injuries invoke.

I don't think this has much to do with how Dallas feels about Jones. It's all about saving legs for the regular season.

I see you aren't familiar...I spent a month on exercise with a whole Battalion of Aussie Calvary. They also don't lose many bar fights...

That's interesting. Any idea in what way?

Board etiquete says one posts a source concerning rumor control.

 

[CowboyDan]

Good point. Sorry. But if it comes out, here's a preemptive "I told you so."

 

[Hardline]

If the new punter cannot reliably be a snap holder on field goals and extra points you better keep Jones.

 

[Alexander]

Good shot at a punter. Was among the top rated punting prospects in this past draft. Surprised he was not already in someone's camp.
