There's no question he lacked the desire in Arizona. The question is will this release make him realize his pro career is slipping away and motivate him to recommit to football?

Odds are probably against it but it can happen.

Jerry and Garrett?

How can he not be motivated?

I just dont think much of him at all. Some people are just wastes of time. I see Nkemidiche as that
If we only were allowed 53 players on the team I'd agree. But we get 90 if I'm not mistaken. I have a hard time believing you can't find him a post or to see what he has. That's if they are interested.....I personally don't think much of him or know what to think of him at this point.

And none a one of them has proven anything. We have bodies. We have a bunch of guys that play the position but not a one has been what the doctor ordered. We have been looking for that type since Hatcher left in free agency and we are still looking.

Hill was our second rounder mainly because it was yet another stab at finding that all important piece in the defensive scheme.
Did I say they were studs? No. I said they were tbat type. Nkemidiche isnt a stud. We won't beat anyone out I mentioned.

If its a stud you want, unless Hill out plays his draft status, you arent getting ine this offseason. Nkemidiche offers us nothing because he is a lesser version of what we have plenty of. Marginal to adequate interior penetrators. He isnt even that. He cant even make it a day in camp. He wouldnt be a waste of even a camp roster spot. If you are going to bring in another camp body. Bring in a big DT, a safety or even a TE

You think this Cowboys team lacks motivation?
No, it is kind of different though.

It just seems that the types who are not self-motivated tend to not do so well in Dallas.

It is not like we are an incubator for taking slobs and making them great like Al Davis. The misfits tend to remain misfits and eventually damage the organization somehow.

I’ll let their post season record do the talking

I’m sure they were ‘motivated ‘ when the Rams stole their manhood by running all over their ***** but you can color me unimpressed

All talk, front runners, striving for mediocrity, and scared of the big stage
That is what every Garrett coached team is

And I guess you missed where I made it clear that I didn't want him at all. We agree, except I believe you honestly think our bodies at the position is a legitimate reason to turn up our nose. That shouldn't even come into the equation.

What is the sample size of that though? Greg Hardy came here...IMO, he wasn't bad but he was still a nutcase. Pac-Man was decent here. Rolando McClain was solid. Mind you with Robert I don't think we are dealing with anything like that.

So because they got beat by a better team and got outcoached that means they weren't motivated? You looking LVE and Jaylon Smith in their eyes and telling them they weren't motivated? You guys have to learn to just admit when the Cowboys get beat.........its probably because they are a inferior team and don't have the coach to overcome that.

Wait, are you suggesting it is too small of a sample size?

Even McCain, who could be considered a "success" based off of one quality season, is really a posterchild for not adding yet another one of Jerry's Special Kids.

The list is incredibly long at how we have attempted to rehab damaged players and failed. The conditions are just not set up for that kind of mentality to succeed long term in Dallas. I don't even understand how that can even be in question.

If I thought there was any chance Nkemidiche could be anymore that a 4 sack rotational tackle, I wouldn't turn my nose. We have enough of those. Im not into throwing more mediocre at a position ( and in Nkemidiche case a total prayer he even becomes) were we dont even know what mediocre player we are going to have cut. How many mediocre to sub mediocre DT's do we need? Not enough to where I would waste even a camp spot at another position on trash like Nkemidiche.

I just dont see throwing numbers at the position as being the awnser.

Okay, now we are speaking the same dialect.
Its unfortunate we even have to discuss it. Even if he hit on Hill, thats one player. Honestly we need 3 good DT's. One true 1 Tech and two 3 Techs on passing downs. Collins is decent, but he is either going to stay to course and not be good enough to pay. Or he will have a big walk year and be two expensive. And his play so far in his career, has been that of a player you want to upgrade.

Even if we hit a home run with Hill, we are still at least one day 1 or 2 pick from resembling legitimate talent at the position. And that's if Hill is an hit

Well I first off don't look at Robert as one of those guys. McClain is more true to what he is. Is Zeke one of Jerry's special kids?

I don't think this kid is anything close to McClain in terms of at least some measure of fulfilled talent.

This is like if a five-star Rivals recruit somehow kept for experiencing any level of success and still kept getting rewarded based off of potential. McClain at least was a quality player at Alabama and was considered the top defender in the SEC. Nkemdiche has been a career tease.
