If this was a poker game. Tank just got raised and called

Redball Express · Mar 30, 2019

The signing of Quinn is a huge move by the Cowboys to end the stalemate with Tank.

Lawrence never thought the Cowboys could replace him and therefore has taken his stance.

But it appears to me that signing Quinn to a $11 /mil a yr deal has shifted everything.

I do not believe the rhetoric from the FO about just wanting to pair Quinn and Tank.

Sure..if it happens fine.

But think about if it does not.

Also think about Tank playing again on the Franchise Tag at $20 mil/yr this season and still awaiting his new contract.

If Quinn suddenly starts have a lights out season and has better sack numbers than Tank..

well he only has a 1 year deal with us and then Tank has competition for his contract.

Quinn has had better sack numbers than Tank in the past.

That is what we would want.

So let this play it's way out.

Worst case scenario we rescind the Tag and keep the money and pay Quinn instead and can redo our other guys easily with the savings.

We win as a team no matter what happens.

I agree for all but 3 positions. QB, DE, LT. He’s DE

Redball, that would be called and then raised. That's the chronological order of the betting procedure but I do not think Lawrence is going to fold.

If there's a bluff, it is that Gregory might be ready to go by game 1.

Quinn is no D. Law. over the last 2 years Quinn has 15 sacks, and D.Law has 25.
At best Quinn is filling the hole created by the pot head.

I saw that.

I can not edit it.

Maybe a mod can do it.

But you understand the point I am sure.

I am not much of a gambler.

I do not think the Cowboys will be either in this.

Greagory and Quinn are RDE’s, Lawrence is a very good LDE.
If we loose Lawrence then we are worse off in several different ways( not just on the field either).
Quinn's signing doesn’t change that.

Quinn was playing with the Dolphins.

That team is in free fall.

On our defense..

with our coaches..

I think you will see a big change in his production.

Of course he replaces Gregory.

But right now he replaces Tank.

From a pass rush stand point..

he could come from either end and the middle if wanted.

If Tank stays out..

watch for Marinelli and Richard put Wolf Hunter and Jaylon and Lee down into the line to rush the passers if needed.

You need to think out of the box more.

Is Quinn a RDE like Gregory?

He got called and raised, not raised and called, geeesh.

Redball already explained he got it backwards because he isn’t much of a card player - let it go. You get the point he was trying to make. I’m coming down because I didn’t see a sarc smiley face at end of your post.

What he could do and what he can do well arn’t one and the same.
If we don’t resign Lawrence we’re worse off no question about it.

Winning teams are built around play makers. Just sayin'.
