Bring back C/G Mackenzy Bernadeau?

[Floatyworm]

Was cut by Jacksonville....Was never really impressed w/ Joe Looney.

Comments?

I haven't seen enough of Looney to have an honest opinion of him to start with but I don't think Bernie deserved a lot of the flack he caught on this board by many. He's not a guy you want starting week in and week out but as a depth/reserve guy he was pretty damned solid.

I heard Bryan Broaddus say the Cowboys believe Looney is an upgrade over Berny, so take that for what it's worth.

I'm more concerned about finding a backup tackle right now. Chaz Green has improved but I'd like a veteran fallback option.

I'd love to 3d print that emojie and cram them in your orifices until you burst like and overpacked beanbag.


I'd bring him back on a one year.

Wouldn't bringing him back allow the Cowboys to move Leary for a pick/player?

When people complain about the OL's "slow start" last year, it was really just a game and a half. It coincided with Mackenzy Bernardeau entering the Giants game in relief of Leary early in the 2nd half, then alternating series with Collins the next week. During those six quarters of football we averaged 3.2 yards per rush. The rest of the season, 4.8 yards per rush.

Gotta believe Joseph Randle was the bigger issue.

......and I think that one's leaving the park, folks. Yep! It's gone!

No thanks. Never a big fan of reunions.

I tend to agree, but I don't want him back right now. I'd rather his salary not be guaranteed. I wish the NFL would allow you to sign 2 or 3 players that are vested but will not be guaranteed if signed prior to week 1...that would be great to sign someone from a few games and then say..."see ya" if they don't pan out.

Don't really care whether they bring him back or not, but as a research guy, I'm guessing you're familiar with the statistical concept: "Correlation does not imply causation".

I am, but that statement is usually accompanied by an alternative explanation for the correlation.

He was good at the seal and peel but had balance issues. His strength is an asset so it could be worse but I would be interested in what else is out there.

He was better at Center, IMO, than at Guard. He tended to be late off the ball at Guard.

I can't really say if he was better/worse than Looney because I have not really focused on Looney. I figured the Cowboys just wanted to save about 1.5M (Looney's contract compared to what Bernadeau got in Jax).

That answers that question...
