The signing of Quinn is a huge move by the Cowboys to end the stalemate with Tank.
Lawrence never thought the Cowboys could replace him and therefore has taken his stance.
But it appears to me that signing Quinn to a $11 /mil a yr deal has shifted everything.
I do not believe the rhetoric from the FO about just wanting to pair Quinn and Tank.
Sure..if it happens fine.
But think about if it does not.
Also think about Tank playing again on the Franchise Tag at $20 mil/yr this season and still awaiting his new contract.
If Quinn suddenly starts have a lights out season and has better sack numbers than Tank..
well he only has a 1 year deal with us and then Tank has competition for his contract.
Quinn has had better sack numbers than Tank in the past.
That is what we would want.
So let this play it's way out.
Worst case scenario we rescind the Tag and keep the money and pay Quinn instead and can redo our other guys easily with the savings.
We win as a team no matter what happens.

I was under the impression that Richard was calling the defense.
And that Marinelli was calling the DL combinations.
And I will say that in the 2016 playoff loss that Marinelli was outcoached.
But last year..not sure.
It was mentioned that Richard was not focused running for coaching interviews the week of the playoff game.
I thought the same thing.
So it is an issue against better coached teams that those guys have to do something more to win in the playoffs.
He got called and raised, not raised and called, geeesh.

Not saying we are better off without Tank.
But the team certainly saw the need to bring in somebody who has been a featured pass rusher in the event Tank does not come to terms.
Doubly so with Gregory and Irvin gone.
At least if Tank does not report..
Quinn has ability and done it before.
Other than that..the shelves are bare.
The draft is going to turn up something and there is still time to look at other options.
Hoping Gregory finally grows up could be a long wait.
Why do you think Quinn is a replacement for DLaw? They do not even play on the same side of the DL. Quinn is no where near being a top defender against the run like DLaw is.The signing of Quinn is a huge move by the Cowboys to end the stalemate with Tank.

Can't call and raise. That would be taking two actions. You can call or raise, not both.Redball, that would be called and then raised. That's the chronological order of the betting procedure but I do not think Lawrence is going to fold.
If there's a bluff, it is that Gregory might be ready to go by game 1.
True. However, play makers are irrelevant if you don't have enough around them.Winning teams are built around play makers. Just sayin'.
They play completely different positions.
Quinn is a pass rush specialist. DLaw is the rare DE who excels against both the run and pass.
Quinn took a paycut because, being a UFA, next year he knew he'd be facing more one on one match ups
I understand your points.I dont think this is correct.
First of all, Quinn is a RDE and DLaw is a LDE...……….and yes, there is a hell of a lot of difference between the two. you just cant plug and play and move Quinn to LDE, especially not in this scheme. The two positions have totally different responsibilities and assignments.
Secondly, media reports are that Quinn picked Dallas over the Saints because he knew that DLaw would draw most of the double teams and that would leave him one on one. That is important because its a one year deal he signed {8 mill, not 11 bty} and he is looking to cash in next year as an UFA. He did not come to Dallas to "be the man" on the pass rush.
Third, DLaw got so scared when he saw Dallas sign Quinn that he upped his demands to $23 million now, used to be $20 million. That is not the action of a player that feels threatened for his job, in fact, its quite the opposite. That is the actions of a player that knows the team needs him and got nobody else to replace him. See, DLaw and his agent both know Quinn is a RDE also, see point one above.

Every thread you start just fails on premise
You're wrong but it's just a shorter version of saying "I call your X and raise you Y"Actually in real world poker it’s just “raised”. First word is considered an action. So you cant call AND raise.
LOL, you're so bitter Abe.
I will continue to use sarcasm without a smiley face any damn time I please, thank you.Redball already explained he got it backwards because he isn’t much of a card player - let it go. You get the point he was trying to make. I’m coming down because I didn’t see a sarc smiley face at end of your post.
I'm bitter for pointing out basic facts that show the premise if the thread is false?
