Twitter: Randy Gregory Update

This sounds promising.

I'd love to see him get reinstated because:

1 - it will mean his life is somewhat together

2 - he has elite physical talent at a position where we need it

3 - we will finally find out what has been going on with him.

..in the meantime, still allocating his heat lamp collection.

This is reason to almost celebrate. I'll fire up the bong anyway !

Good for you -- I'm getting all warm and fuzzy, just thinking about it!

Let's go Gregory!

Can’t recall a Cowboys player ever making more news off the field than on the field than Randy Gregory. At least 95% of the topics about him are either that he’s been suspended, awaiting reinstatement or he’s been reinstated.

I'm starting a thread on what Randy Gregory thinks about Dak's contract.

His answer will depend on how high he is.

Could this be the icing on our 2020 off-season cake? Great draft, offense looks like it *could* be among the very best in the NFL, and now maybe our D is getting better?

Thanks but the joke I was looking for was "4 years for 1500 pounds with 1200 pounds guaranteed".

You might have gotten that answer depending on how high he was.

We potentially have four different guys at RDE that can rush the passer in Smith, Gregory, Anae and Dorance Armstrong. Even if only a couple work out we are going to have a deep rotation that can stay fresh and attack for the entire game.

Also with new scheme that uses a 3-4 look at times, you could see DLaw, Smith and Gregory all on the field at the same time. That will be fun to watch!

This should be a thing of the last if he can get back this time.

It’s a shame because he showed us a glimpse of his potential in 2018...he was the best player on our defense for several games that year and has the potential to be our best pass rusher.

I know that in my industry, a lot of things are moving more slowly because of recent national crises. For example, instead of bidding a project in January, as I originally planned, I am pushing to get it out for bid in July. This is because factory lead times for equipment have gone from 8-12 weeks to 26-39 weeks due to factory closures, or factories working at 1/2 capacity. Other suppliers have gone completely out of business over the past few months, and we are scrambling to find new suppliers. With many organizations short-staffed, or getting lower overall productivity due to existing work conditions, it is not necessarily shocking that it may take the NFL longer than the standard 60 days to rule on Gregory's reinstatement request.

Which brings me to a larger point. Procrastination kills. I have someone on my team who failed to order some equipment early for a project that was due for completion on May 31st. We are finally getting that equipment delivered and installed tomorrow, and the client will not be able to move in until Monday, June 22nd - a full three weeks after they were promised full access. There is absolutely no excuse for the equipment not being ordered much earlier, and I've been stomping mad about this for the past 6 months, because I TOLD THEM to stop waiting, and get the equipment ordered. They procrastinated, and I'm paying the price for their procrastination with a missed commitment.

Gregory and his team should have applied for reinstatement long before the current national crises even started, and they have only themselves to blame for the delay. NEVER assume that conditions won't change. ALWAYS get things done as soon as possible. That is the ONLY way to assure that you can meet your deadlines. Unfortunately, we all work with people who are lazy and/or just don't understand the urgency of getting tasks accomplished quickly. As such, we pay the price for their laziness and incompetence. The Cowboys team is enduring the costs of the laziness and incompetence of Gregory and his legal team. And I say that as a fan of Randy Gregory.

So Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

I don't blame them for that, they filed right when the lockdown started and the application is a legal document that takes months to prepare. It has a lot of medical reports and other information, they started on the application before anyone had ever heard of CV19.

The 2018 season was his best chance to turn the corner and be our best pass rusher but he blew it. The Cowboys haven’t seen him in over a year.

I really hate that we are about to go into another season where we are really relying on this guy to help us at DE. He's proven time and again he is unreliable.

Reunite the Dope Boyz!! Ro McClain and David Irving come on down....
