Just win Baby!!! Irvin was on coke and many used the white house for drugs and women, but we won 3 SBs!!!!!!

Gregory was suspended on February 26, 2019 so it’s been a year and four months since the team has seen him. He hasn’t been on a football field since we lost to the Rams in the playoffs.

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.

"really relying on this guy?" Have you seen all the FA DL's the Cowboys have signed this off season? Do you know anything about being bi-polar? :facepalm:

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.

Not as if he is missing OTAs

Well, Jerry is coupling it with another unreliable guy and crossing fingers.

If not theres good ole Tyrone C ready to light up the stat sheet at only 500 grand a Sunday.

We potentially have four different guys at RDE that can rush the passer in Smith, Gregory, Anae and Dorance Armstrong.

The optimist would say that we have potentially four. A pessimist would say that we have potentially zero. Not one of those 4 have shown they can do so within the last 5 years.

If anyone needed OTA’s it was him and Aldon Smith. It’s been a long time since either one of them has been on a football field. Inactivity can erode a players skills.

KJJ · Jun 18, 2020

If there is a training camp and Gregory is reinstated he won’t be coddled by this coaching staff. This staff didn’t draft him.

That isn't true. Gregory has shown it in spades when he has been on the field, the question is whether he will be on the field. Anae showed it in college and the team had a 3rd round grade on him. Armstrong showed it in limited reps and 3rd year players often improve.

Its true each of those has risks and are not guaranteed. But its false to say they haven't shown they can do it.

Some real talent on the D-line is going to end up not making this team.

It would be a crime if the Cowboys weren't able to recoup some draft picks rather than just give players away for free by cutting them.

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.

its been exacerbated by the fact that during his tenure the team has constant problems at his position
injuries (DLaw)
other suspensions ( D Irving)
flop high 1st rounders (Taco)
flash in the pan free agent (Quinn)

and Randy, when he did briefly play just came right in and looked good immediately

Gregory seems like he has so much more upside and we dont have to pay to get him, nor sign him, nor trade for him

we all want that free prize he could give, especially since all the others keep disappointing

Delay in the decision though. It doesn’t say a delay in a decision that would be good for us. Couldn’t the logistic delay be explaining why he’s still suspended?
