Broaddus tweet re Leary

[tm1119]

He wasnt even on our board. Not a scheme fit.

Lol what scheme is that? And why is that the blanket answer for every prospect we pass on? Id love to know how going into the season with Berny as a starting guard was a better scheme fit than Warford.

Sorry you don't understand the difference between our ZBS and the Lion's man scheme.

Berny is a good lineman when he stays focused but every 5 or 6 plays his focus wavers and he become a liability.

 

[Deep_Freeze]

So we lose Ware, and all of a sudden we are getting Von Miller.

We lose Murray, all of a sudden we are getting AP.

We think we might have lost Leary and the best we can do is Warford?!?!

Come on guys, we can do better than that, make up something creative.

More spontaneous OG fretting? After we proved we could fill one of the positions by building up low-round (free agent) depth and with a veteran FA off the street? While we were getting perfectly serviceable OG play from Bernardeau, too, at the start of the season? This is a non-issue.
And, not that they're related in any way other than in the minds of some Cowboys fans, but there's going to come a day when everybody acknowledges that the Escobar pick was not a bad 2nd round pick for Dallas. From the outset, it was known that he was a player who was going to develop over time. TE is not a plug-and-play position, especially when the prospect needs to get stronger and work on blocking. We knew this going in, and the organization talked about it on draft day.

you make this statement with nothing to back it up....only hope yet given no grief for it.. yet when someone brings up a guard they studied, discussed at length for several months, and put into mock drafts its considered spontaneous fretting. lol only on CZ.

you do realize he visited with several ZBS teams who had interest in him during the pre-draft process.

Who then didn't take him in the 2nd round either?

You do realize that Witten's rookie year, at 7 games, he had seven receptions for about 80 yards, and no touchdowns, right?

You are correct that I did not back up my opinion re: the likely future performance of Gavin Escobar. It's kind of the point of my statement that we're going to have to wait and see. The reason being, as I explicitly said, TEs typically need a season or two to develop, and it was stated on draft day that this was a player who was going to have to develop both strength and blocking to play well in this league.

As for Warford, complaining about passing on him in the second when we'd taken and interior OL in the first, had a player we liked on board already, and later added a veteran off the street who turned out to be a nice addition is, I'm sorry, fretting over nothing. We obviously prioritized fixing the red zone offensive problems over stock piling an additional OG using a premium pick at a position that it has been repeatedly demonstrated can be filled from the middle rounds or lower. It would have been dumb to spend premium resources at an OG there, and complaining about not doing it is pointless.

We had a good draft. We've got good OG play right now. We've got a swing backup who can also play C for us on game day. We can develop another quality OG at marginal cost starting this offseason and not set ourselves back. It doesn't matter how much you may have wanted Warford to begin with, or how many mock drafts you put him in. It doesn't matter all that much how well he's playing. Other teams are going to draft players who play well in their systems, too. It's spontaneous fretting because there's no reason for it, and it only cropped up because of a random tweet that's just brought about by all this Guard-fretting that's gone on this entire last season when the problem with the team was never really with the OG play to begin with.

...And yet he was drafted by a team that employs a man blocking scheme.
Go watch his tape-the guy can't move laterally. Very good player under Houck, not so much Callahan.

There is no reason to fret about Leary's knee. It's one knee not two BTW. And that problem is secondary to trauma and if he's done this well so far then chances are he shouldn't be a high risk to have problems so soon. That doesn't mean he's not going to have problems but it looks ok so far. We might not be hearing the entire story though.

 

[honyock]

All I found was the Injury Report put out today by the NFL. They listed Leary as a DNP today (did not practice, knee). I heard this on the Fan this evening as well and they didn't elaborate.

DALLAS COWBOYS at DETROIT LIONS — COWBOYS: DNP: DT Nick Hayden (back), LB DeVonte Holloman (neck), G Ronald Leary (knee), DE DeMarcus Ware (thigh). LIMITED: WR Miles Austin (hamstring), WR Dez Bryant (hamstring, wrist), RB Lance Dunbar (hamstring), DT Jason Hatcher (neck), RB DeMarco Murray (knee), DE George Selvie (shoulder). FULL: WR Dwayne Harris (hip).

There we go. Thanks.

Wrong. You might not like his analysis, but that's not what this is. Broaddus has connections in Valley Ranch.

LOL do you actually believe this? what has he given you that makes you believe this? what a joke

 

[BAT]

should we forfeit the game now then?

Bernie is that you? Just man up and prove me wrong cupcake.

 

[T-RO]

How long will it take for you to clue in that he works at Valley Ranch and is paid…not to be a true journalist…but to promote the league and in particular the Cowboys.

Trace the money and stop embarrassing yourself. He is in the same category as Mickey and Nick.

Just as the White House has a press secretary…the Cowboys have their own web site and writers employed to promote the club. They not only connected to the franchise…they are connected via umbilical cord.

 

[jnday]

Honestly, if the OL weren't playing as well as it is, I'd be right with you on this, but they've put together a pretty damn good unit.

Warford would have saved the panic that was going on before the Waters signing and he provided a long term answer instead if a one year filler. It was simply another missed opportunity missed to fix the line once and for all.

Constant negativity, yeah that will fix things.

Fred was not a scheme fit either if you listen to these guys around here. Go check the old draft threads and you ill get some laughs.

Nothing negative. Mighty sensative to the point. If you disagree, why?
