Tacos play has made him expendable....
taco was a bad pick from jump. He was basically brought in as insurance to take the LE spot if Lawrence left. We need a RDE pass rush talent that draft and we took taco. We did him a disservice by drafting him. It's not his fault.
His issues are he doesn’t practice with any intensity or play in games with any intensity. He is what he is a SOFT Taco. Move on. He was a bad draft pick. Watt was there for the taking too!Taco came back and played well the last 2 games. He's been better than most of the DE's drafted after him. People just think he was a 1st round pick when really he was a second. His issues were more with how he handled his shoulder injury.
Unless his play improves he brings no value to this team! Get in there son for 5 plays and give us no pass rush.We still need depth in the event of injury and to be part of our rotation. Taco has been a disappointment but still has a valuable role with Irving gone and with Gregory’s future up in the air.
I also hope Jason Garrett will become a great game day coach and make all the right game day adjustments. It won’t happen. Overall Garrett is a mediocre coach and Taco is soft!I hope Taco blows up this year so the haters will shut up about him. It has gone beyond just being a “whipping boy”. People act like he murdered their dog in cold blood.
I was slightly surprised this weekend that we didn't see Taco Charlton package in a draft day deal of some sort.
That said, I really get the feeling that Taco is not long for this roster. We are pretty deep at DE now with Lawrence, Quinn, Armstrong, Kerry Hyder, Gregory (currently suspended), and now possibly Joe Jackson (5th rounder).
Where does Taco fall into this. IIRC, he fell out of favor with Marenelli last season and I think he's hard pressed to make this roster out of camp.
I think he does hold some value being that he's a former 1st rounder that's entering just his third season.
Could we see another Switzer/Jihad Ward type trade for perhaps Karl Joseph?
Time to hit it or quit it!Let's just say Joe Jackson and Hyder certainly appear to represent valid challenges for Taco to either step up his game or step out!
He had a physical injury and was butt hurt over lack of playing time. Garrett said he needed to show more in practice once he was back at it.No. Believe Taco was battling some injury last year and this year 3 for him so time to put up or shut up.
Great competition with Armstrong and Jackson so hopefully it fules him to realize his potential.
Pet cat?I hope Taco blows up this year so the haters will shut up about him. It has gone beyond just being a “whipping boy”. People act like he murdered their dog in cold blood.
Taco makes taco expendable.
But yes. With the depth they have now. His job is on the line. They are now in position to cut him if he doesn’t step up.
After watching tape, I don't think Joe Jackson is any kind of threat for real playing time. He's got prototypical size and a quick first step, but has literally 0 moves, so tackles are just going to sit on his speed-to-power bull rush. Even Taco is more effective after the tackle gets hands on him then Jackson is.
Hyder, we'll see how healthy he is. Achilles injuries are brutal, especially for big men who have to drive hard off their legs.
Armstrong will be the interesting one IMO. Didn't show much as a rook, but he spent a year getting coached up and gaining strength and he's always been able to get low and bend. There's some potential there.
