Are we going to see the same Thing with Amari Cooper Vs An Injured Michael Gallup
Vs Ezekiel Elliott Vs An Injured Tony Pollard..

I say the Odds Of Regret Favors of The Jones's Will Regret This One As Well As They Did Of Regretting Letting Amari Cooper Go..

Ummm, there is a MAJOR difference - at NO POINT had Gallup taken over Amari's production. Pollard ABSOLUTELY did take the reigns from Zeke. And, the teams doctors have apparently indicated that Pollard should be ready for TC.

For those saying Zeke is washed, 12 rushing TDs…9 consecutive games with at least 1 TD.
with half the carries. Still, a post June 1st cut which is what I’m told they are eyeing
will be a 10.9M in cap savings, 5.8M in
dead money

Valid.. Good Point Here

This is exactly why when Jerry speaks you can’t over react to what he says…he’s either being intentionally misleading or lying very often

Lol, everyone knows Zeke was FORCE-Fed at the goal line to get TDs. Ownership had to justify that idiotic contract somehow. It wasn't because Zeke was "good" the last 3-4 years.

 

[AsthmaField]

Gallups injury was much worse than Pollard’s.

What Pollard has literally isn’t going to even have a chance of hurting his performance.

Completely different from Gallup coming back from his.

 

[Ranching]

Okay then.

If the coaches were forcing Zeke to play "hurt" then why should I admire Zeke for it?

You miss the whole point....not surprised it's going over your head. He could have tapped out and didn't....up to the coaches to play him or sit him. Jeez....you really don't understand the sideline and locker room dynamics.. and yes, I was only a HC in Texas HS football, I know thats your next line. But, football is football at any level. Now, shoo fly.

So was Pollard weak for sitting out that meaningless Week 18 game? Did Pollard tap out?

You mean he's being a World Class Salesman . . . .

Jerry was never going to trash Zeke in the media. Of course he was going to talk good about Zeke and say he’s in the plans.

Why should have Jerry broken that news to the public (and to Elliott) through the media? He shouldn’t have.

It would have been classless to a guy that played his heart out. Elliott didn’t deserve Jerry being honest with the media about the team’s plans.

I agree but that still doesn’t stop the nonstop moaning and complaining to everything jerry says and that’s why I’ve said for a whole take everything jerry says with a grain of salt.

June 1st cut, no cap relief till June 1st. 10.9 becomes available on June 1st, with 5.8 dead in 23 but you get a dead cap in 2024 of 6mil
Pre-June first, 11.8mil dead cap with 4.8 mil immediate cap savings, zero dead cap rollover in 24.

By next year it's all the same, but as of now, there is a difference on available cap.

You do know dallashas over 125mil in capspace, using this yrs cap number for next yr, but will be higher by atleast 10mil dollars at a minimum. I could see 15-20 higher with the new TV money kicking in. Then another kick when the Sunday ticket money kicks in

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Not after he held our. I’ve despised him since. Good bye and good riddance.

HAte does terrible things to your mind. It is so bad you don't even know the right person to hate.

3 yards per carry is nothing to miss. Cooper was a different receiver than anything we had, a huge difference and was still very productive, if you need a yard sure Zeke will suffice.
