This is a great site, with many great contributors, but you can never have too much. Lots of great knowledge here too but always room for more.

Apparently. And many of the displaced forum members have recently joined here.

Guess Jerry didn't like the criticism of his 3rd son, Jason.

We'd better watch it, if Jerry follows them here, we could be next!

Bryan changes positions on where Collins ideally fits like most change their underwear. When his opinion stinks, he changes it. I remember him extolling the virtues of Collins at 3 tech at one time. Now he's a 1 tech. Don't forget T Will has been his break out player for the past 3-4 years

Ain't that the truth!

And I'm ashamed to admit it, but he sucked me in on the Maliek Collins bandwagon last year. I had him pegged for a Pro Bowl year, d'oh!

I looked up his rookie stats and they were actually better than Sapp's overall and I specter him to build on that but he regressed instead.

I know he had the foot injury at some point, but he didn't look like the same guy from week one.

I'm hoping he has a bounce back season, at the 3-technique position!

Collins likes to dance with OGs....

Of course he didnt, he has now broken his foot both of his years at Dallas. Not sure if its the same foot, but now he has had surgery on it.

FWIW, Marinelli consistently said Collins was, "the best 3-tech in the draft," when they picked him up. He was playing 1 because Paea and Thornton didn't work out. Same reason they tried Irving there.

Somebody should tell Broaddus!

 

[kskboys]

Broaddus said he was 1 tech his rookie year for what it’s worth

He did? I'm pretty sure TMac was the 1 tech. Also to be considered, though, Malik played limited snaps his rook year.

The official Cowboys site shut down their fan forums?

Yup.
Told us one day, said it'd be closed in a while, then shut it down the next. No ceremony, and didn't even give us time to retain some contacts. I was a mod, and they let us know very little also.

TMcClain and Thornton played the 1T...... MCollins was the 3T

That's what I thought I remembered.

I remember reading up on Thornton. One of the primary reasons he failed is because he was playing out of position at the 1 tech.

One of the biggest problems was that we had a roster full of 3 techs. Thornton, Malik, Irving, and both our late round DT picks, Ivie and Carrell, all 3 techs. Even Taco is a 3 tech type. And I'm not sure TMac wasn't a better 3 tech than 1 tech, he was just the best we had there.

Yea it was on that show with the round table. I think Helman asked for clarification and Broadus said it again.

I've seen so much bad info from Broaddus, I really just don't listen to him any more. Esp on potential draftees. He just doesn't understand what qualities to look for when evaluating draft picks. Wasn't he a Teblows fan? I think he was, don't remember before.

It’s like a Revival for Pentecostals lol

Hey, I resemble that remark.

 

[CF74]

Hey, I resemble that remark.

So then u know it’s positive ​

 

[Verdict]

We had a DT get 8 sacks in 7 games and a DE gets 14.5 on the season.
Again, I struggle to see any validity to the bloodthirst for a premier 1T that has been around for 5 years now amongst fans.
I'm not saying I'd hate if we got one, suggesting the team has made it known they don't think it;s a priority so it's a waste of effort.
And the team may have been right all along looking at the stats.

I respectfully disagree. If this defense has Snacks Harrison, or Poe, or a Suh (who isn't insane) how much better would it be?
