Taco Charlton

[ElGatoGrande]

IIRC Lawrence didn't really take off until his 3rd season, and he had more playing time than Taco. Hopefully the kid can get it together.

I am not scared at all. "lmao" guys just dont fit my niveau.

Id say grow up, get good education (and no, i dont mean a bachelor or master crap degree, i mean a really good education), then come back.

Taco has been a disappointment from where he was drafted. Didn't like the pick at the time and still don't to this day. He plays like he should've been picked in the 5th round.

not exactly sure what he excels at either.

He couldn't make an impact in the AAF, yet we wasted a 1st round on this chump

I am happy he is on the team, and I think he gets better.

Taco is good insurance, and we will be happy he is on the team if dlaw or Quinn gets hurt or if Gregory doesn't make it back.

That is assuming that this year isn't his breakout year, and he wins out in the offseason.

Good for rotation

good insurance would mean they could step in and play as needed. by play i mean stop people, sack the qb, stuff a few runs...that type of play.

when has he done that? so far he's been a body on the line and not much more.

can we stop adding more and more Taco threads, lets move past ;last year and let the guy play in 2019 and see if he learned anything and makes some progress.. he for sure not worth debating anymore..not in the amount of times his name comes up for a backup DE..most of his issues have been maturity , he believes hes entitled to playing time but hasn't earned it with proper work ethic,..hes has the tools, he needs to put in the work and effort in practice before game snaps will be added.. hes paying much to much attention to others around him and not enough on himself.. he could get this resolved with some coaches taking him to the side and reminding him to shut up , practice harder, and when in games take advantage of your snaps to earn more..

Taco never was drafted to play RDE. He was always in plan to be the follow up to DLaw.
Why we got DLaw a contract idk. I would have given Takko another year.

Never been a fan of Dlaw. 2+3 picks were too much. And he never showed his value. He more was a me first player in the later times. Dont need a chronic injured player on my roster who playes medicore but demands first round talent money.

I am A Cowboys fan but from now on i will cheer against this sugga all day every day. I dont need me first guys.

The only time that Lawrence has been productive is the seasons when he was playing for a new contract. I figure he will go back to being injured for several games each year now that he has his money.

thats simply not true and more of a coincidence hes has been improving yearly and yes he may not play hurt for as long given he has his money but hes not a guy I worry about effort, he ;played the run, pressures and other things well, not just trying to get sacks to pad his stats for contract..hes always been a high motor guy but early on suspended and hurt set him back..

 

[jnday]

I doubt it.

We didn't even dream. We thought he would be a "safe" pick because we were too scared to draft a better pure rusher like Watt because he was undersized and feared he could not play the run.

There was nothing about him even as a college prospect that would have made anyone think he was a player to pin hopes on.

Thing is, he is not even a good run defender. He is just there. A real blight on the roster if you want to be honest.

But hey, he comes up with great nicknames and stuff.

You are forgetting about Taco being one of the Hot Boyz. That has to count for something.

After reading about the various surgeries that he has had, I have real concern about him holding up as he gets older. The two back surgeries is enough to be concerned and that is not counting the other surgeries.

always a worry with any player but his back hasn't kept him out of any games since what year 2? I mean lets move forward..of he played with torn labrum he will be fine with a repaired one..there are MANY players in the nfl with big contracts who have been oft injured.. SEE ET..everyone wanted him, we passed but hes hasn't finished a season in 2 years got huge money.

Well, his second year he had seven sacks in the last eight games. His third year he played through a back injury and had 1 sack in 9 games, I believe.

As i already wrote. You picked up one sentence and ignored the rest of my post.

Its always the same when things swap into the mainstream. People think they have something to say thats of use for others. But most dont.

So there is your answer. I am not interessted in a conversation with you. Try accepting it. If it helps you or does make you feel better try to think like this: i am just another ashole who doesnt know you. Helps most simple structured people.

Says something stupid, gets called on it, then saddles up the high horse to try and ride away from it.



Classic CZ maneuver.

Wo.....that Taco guy sucks Bro...

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Taco will always be the miss that could have been the hit that TJ Watt is for the Steelers.

And the reason why the team is still hurt by Randy Gregory's issues, and therefore the reason why they had to trade and pay Robert Quinn.

One thing leads to another and another.

And now we pay Lawrence a big contract, trade for and pay Quinn, hope that Gregory can be reinstated, and Charlton is a backup.

TJ Watt is a 3-4 OLB....he couldn't play 4-3 DE....that's why he is good in Pittsburgh...even Ware who was bigger, faster and nastier than Watt struggled at 4-3 DE and eventually moved on to Denver and back to his OLB position...... I still don't want watt...... never thought he was a fit....this has nothing to do with Taco being bad or the wrong pick....
