I guess we'll see.

Quinn mentioned he would utilize him more. If he produces then the snap count will go up?

Based on same evidence as Parson, Golston, Cox, etc

That makes no sense because nobody is claiming those guys will get 10 sacks.

So, what your comment amounts to is an admission you have absolutely no evidence to support your claim

It would be appropriate to note, however, that those guys have better measurables for their positions, and were viewed more hightly by scouts and teams going into the draft.


By the way, I'm still curious what point you think you made by comparing Anae's height, weight and arm length to that of Lawrence Taylor ….

He no read me.

Definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different results and that’s what Cowboys are doing with Gregory. Ten sacks in four season isn’t nothing to be bragging about even though there is potential there.


The breakout star on the DL is going to be Bradlee Anae with 10 + sacks & 4 forced fumbles minimum this upcoming season with the motor of Lawerence Taylor. He is the protoypical DE for Quinn’s defense that can rush in 4-3 hands down or stand up and play OLB like Von Miller. Unlike Gregory his motor doesn’t stop, he is stouter against the run and brings a whole another level of-nastiness QBs fear.

Anae is fighting for the last DE spot on the roster. I wouldnt be surprised at all if Anae is cut.

Dak_Attack_09 said:

He got 1 sack with 1 rep he got or about 10% of Randy Gregory’s career.

Let him get more snap and watch.

Anae did not get a sack last year, and he only played 6 snaps.

Or are you commenting on an OTA sack while wearing shorts? lol

I was told on here Anae won't even make the team cause he has a half inch too small arm compared to other players on the team

To see what Anae can do you have to go back to his college film. You can't judge him from the past year with the Cowboys, getting minimal coaching along with minimal opportunities from a clown coaching staff. What i liked about him is his knack for getting to the QB, and his nonstop motor. You don't lose that a year later, that is his style of play. I am finally relieved to see not just him, but some other young Cowboys in his position also finally get the proper coaching they need. Donovan Wilson was also held back by those clowns until they had to use him and look what happened. He may or may not turn out to be the answer, but give him a freaking chance. Its not like he is competing against the Whites or Taylors of the world for a role on this team.

Why did I even click on this post?

I don't think he still be cut. He was a pick with McCarthy as HC and they typically give them more chances than players they weren't drafted by them.

People said the same thing about Hill last year

You can't judge him on college either - college and the NFL are very different. Obviously we will have to see how things go. I would love it if he did break out, but we have to accept that it's possible his poor measurables and low interest in the draft presented an accurate picture.

Doubt it. Gregory will win the starting job and have a breakout year. He’s got himself right . He loves it here, plus with his limited time playing last year you could just see the explosiveness

I’m not rooting against Anae. But so far he hasn’t seen the field. Maybe that’s bad coaching. But if he turns into this sack machine that you are referring to, the coaching last year must have been more worthless than we could have ever imagined.

Anae will be lucky to make the team.

I get people have different opinions and/or players they like or support(I’m guilty of it myself).. I even was on the Bradley Anae train myself and I still like Anae’s potential..but, C’mon

Your sorely under estimating Randy Gregory. He’s a beast and will prove it this year, barring injury. He finally had an offseason and seemingly is on the right track mentally. Last year he performed well considering Dallas’s lack of help at DT and the fact that most teams were just running the ball all over us.

Again, I hope Anae also proves his worth, but he’ll be lucky to make the team at this point.. w/ the additions of Basham (whom I also like), Armstrong (whom the team loves), and rookie “do-it-all” Gholston. Randy on the other hand, will be your starter and You’ll be happy about it.

PFF last season:
Randy Gregory in Week 11:

-Pass Rush Snaps: 13 (69th-most among EDGEs)
-Pressures: 4 (ranks t-13th)
-Pressure Rate: 30.8% (ranks 2nd)

I don’t know how to post Twitter, so I’ll just copy/paste what @john9williams stated:

“Randy Gregory from week 8 to week 17 per @PFF

11th in Pass Rush Win Rate.
10th in Pass Rush Productivity.

It's Randy Gregory szn.

Hill was a top pick. Anae was a Nolan pick and he really doesnt fit the mold it appears of what Quinn is looking for. Anae is also said to be bad against the run. Anae is competing with guys like Armstrong for the last DE spots.
