Just heard on total access, that Dexter Coakley was made Captain of the Rams Defense......

Good Job Dex! :beer2:
 
Way to go Dex! Much luck in St.Louis.... unless you play us.

If our 3-4 project fails, and St. Louis new defense succeeds, I guarantee you there will be several articles questioning our release of Coakley.

Hindsight is always 20/20, but you just dont pay 32 year old linebackers whose game is predicated on speed $4mil/year.

Coakley's played declined last year and playing behind Pickett and Lewis will help him but the FO made the right choice on this one.

I agree. I didn't think the 3-4 suited him either. Just saying the folks in the press love to harp on about these types of things.
 
I think everyone in here wishes him well. His game just didn't suit our new defense. I am not surprised by this move at all. I get several Rams games a year and look forward to seeing how he does there.
 
I hope Dex excells in the Rams defense. Always liked him. Like someone said above though, he can stink it up against us and I'll like that too.
 
I think the Rams got a real good linebacker.

I heard he will be playing the Strong Side which I think will be bad for Dex. I wish him luck. Funny the guy goes to a couple of Pro Bowls and all he ever heard was how he was going to get traded every offseason.

I feel a Dextor Coakley Appreciation Signature coming on.

Awesome to hear,but I'm not suprised,Coak is a great football player!
I will always wish him well,he was one of my all time favorite Cowboys!
 
I wish Dex well .....until he plays against us.

Dexter Coakley=E.J. Smith
 
Dex was Never great. He was average on an average defense. Rams way overpaid for him.
 
Dex is the man. He'll do we'll in St. Louis. He's also got a few more years left in him. I'm glad he is going to a team that needs him and should be competitive.
 
Don't knock Dex. I've seen him play a few times live. Two observations - He's smaller in person than he looks on TV. He's faster in person than he looks on TV. He truly flew around and hit people. I respected his time here - great player. Time to move on though.

Right, and that's exactly the reason why he went to 2 Pro Bowls.
 
Dexter was a great cowboy who put it on the field every game...He always represented the star! Good luck Dex!!!!
 
I appreciate all the guy did. While in his prime he was a solid player, but it was clearly time for both the Cowboys and Dex to move on.
