Baldy Breaks down Markquese Bell

[Havic]

I don't know how many corners they keep but they need to cut Joseph. I don't care where he was drafted last year.

I also think Tolbert needs to go to the practice squad if he is being outperformed by others as well.

Bland has clearly outplayed him and if retaining Joseph cost us Bland then indeed this FO is a train wreck.

 

[FanofJerry]

Sorry for not doing the research...but if Lewis, Brown are young enough and dont require huge contracts next time they are up for it....then yeah...I run with Lewis, Brown, Diggs, Bland.

Is KJ that gifted athletically or is he technically sound enough? Bland jumps off the screen compared to KJ imo. Bland tackles better to it seems. I read that bland was supposedly scouted as being iffy in man coverage....but he seems to be right by his guy all the time plus making tackles. He just seems like more of a "football player" all around than KJ. But what do I know. Bland was 5th round pick.

 

[Havic]

Bland and Bell have to make this roster. no exceptions.

 

[tyke1doe]

Baldy is rivaling Michael Irvin as the biggest Cowboys homer among football analysts and commentators.
But I like his commentary.

 

[Cumart21]

They will keep KJ. However, with a concussion, they will move him to short term IR, depending the severity of it.
But that would be a good move. They will not risk losing him, and can stash him for 6 to 8 weeks.

I'm ok with that but I just don't like what I've seen from Joseph. Plays corner like a drunk stumbling out of the bar at 2am.

He has not impressed that is for sure. A few good plays and a few bad plays.

 

[xwalker]

We are going to lose some good players, no doubt

Byproduct of stacking your roster. (Jerry Sucks, just getting that out of the way lol)

Bland and Bell won't be lost though.

I think we keep 2 qbs Dak and Cooper and Dinuchi go to PS.

They need to push the limits on IR.

Cut some veterans like CJ Goodwin, move players to IR then re-sign the veteran.

Goodwin
Watkins
Rush

In theory any vested veteran can agree to re-sign if cut. They don't have to pass through waivers.

They did it with Goodwin in the past and gave him a 100K re-sign bonus above his previous salary.

I dont watch tape...but last year they were saying he did good in the games when he played. So I dont know what to think about him honestly. Maybe he is way more gifted than Bland...but I am rolling with Bland from what Ive seen in this Pre-Season.

I agree. I think they are thinking of doing that again this year.

They may outright let him go. He may be one of the best special teamers in the league but there are actual full time potential plyers that he is up against for a spot.

 

[nalam]

Have to keep both Bland and Bell.

Hope these turn out better than Cox and Ball , LOL

the jury is still out on Cox and Ball …. Not giving up on either.

 

[Sydla]

This dude is definitely an interesting cat. He looks like a Kearse clone out there and as CalPoly says, he could be in line to take over for Kearse at some point in the near future. I don't think they can expose him to waivers.

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

Is Bell ahead of Mukuamu?

 

[AsthmaField]

Is Bell ahead of Mukuamu?

That is a good question.

 

[John813]

You cut Maher and McQuade and other vets that are waiver exempt that get a wink that the team we re-sign them once a handful of guys go on ir. Players like Bell and Bland will get claimed.

 

[Typhus]

That is a good question.

Was going to say the same, and would say early on it was Bell, but Muk has turned it up lately and making a serious claim.
Both are neck and neck IMO.

 

[Mr_437]

Is Bell ahead of Mukuamu?

Idk but last night like a glance into the future of the Cowboys starting Safeties 2 years from now.

 

[stilltheguru]

Is Bell ahead of Mukuamu?

Based on preseason play what do you think? It's a pretty easy answer

 

[BAT]

Bell easily makes the 53.

But Baldy singing his praises so vocally will guarantee his spot.

It was crazy to see so many 53 media mocks without Bell on roster.

 

[SlammedZero]

Just looking at how he moves, you can tell he is a player.

This is why I laugh at people who immediately say "oh he is just a 5th round pick" etc etc


The NFL misses stuff all the time.

I do the same when people say that about conferences a player is drafted from. "Oh, well he was drafted from the Mountain West". Well, talent comes from everywhere.
