ouch....
i am willing to give the kid time for sure because he clearly has talent.
but if sean lee is calling you out that must smart.
it isn't like lee has never been injured so there has to be more to it than that.

It's better than B.W. Webb's.

Right now, I'm more than happy with Scandrick starting, but we need Claiborne as the third corner.

Exactly. If Moore cannot get Webb of the field then Cowboys have to keep churning this DB corps. Perrish Cox is bigger than Webb and can play over the slot. Is also more explosive/plays faster than he times (4.5), can also return punts/kicks. Donnie Fletcher is a big physical boundary corner who excels in zone (would be the only zone corner on roster). Another big corner is Brandon Harden. Similar size, physicality and speed to the Seahawks' corners. Was cut after breaking shoulder but injury has healed.

And with Church and Wilcox gimpy, Dallas needs more than Heath and McCray. Al Afalava is LB sized safety with 4.4 speed who has experience in Marinelli's system.

Keep churning!

This is a Lil' Boosie reference, right? Does it refer to a specific song, or just an all-talk, no-rapping kind of thing? Not sure it's a criticism of Mo's play, one way or another.

Another DB with experience in the Bears system is former college ballhawk Mark LeGree. Good size (6'0 210) And speed (4.4) but more importantly great football IQ and work ethic. D2 player so still raw after 2 seasons in league.

Mo should sit the rest of the year..or at least untill he feels good..but giving up on him and smelling a bust is just wrong
For all we know he could get healthy in the off season (hammy needs all the time you can give it..only way it gets healthy) come back next year regardless of what happends this year and press Scandrick for #2 right away

you see this is why broaddus has been questioning this guy's passion. he's way too comfortable in the trainer's room.

you do get the sense he isn't the least bit annoyed about not being on field.

definitely safe to start questioning Mo's toughness. On top of his poor play, he's headed for bust city.

Just no.

Our best defense has Oscan, Claiborne and Carr on the field.

Mo has been bad in the past. But he hasn't been nearly as bad as this board makes him out to be.

Plus even if he is our 3rd corner...that pushes B.W. off the field....which is good.

Why people are upset about a player who can hurt us because he isn't the pro bowler we thought he was is baffling to me.

Just yet.

Claiborne is average AT BEST.

more excuse-making per usual "he is not nearly as bad as this board makes him out to be"

also, if 'the best CB since Deion' is our 3rd best CB, our secondary must be lights out

lil boosie is a street rapper, very rough around the edges. he's basically calling mo soft.

no secondary is going to look great with inconsistent pressure like we have. Mo has looked looked lost at times and doesn't seem to be progressing like he should. You could argue the fact that he's been hurt a lot this season. You have to start wondering about his toughness.

Exactly. 5 Deion's back there can't cover for 4 or 5 seconds. It don't work that way.

I really liked the Claiborne pick but after all of his injuries, lack of toughness, and scheme switch, I kinda wish we wouldn't have drafted him.

He looks talented but his confidence is just so low and when you combine that with his lack of physicality it's just not a good mixture.

Yes, being ignorant on the subject, I looked Lil' Boosie up and he seems to be famous for beating murder raps and achieving his GED earlier this year while serving time. I assume that there must be a walk the walk song somewhere in his body of work.

We have drafted two weakling CBs in the first red on top of wasting 2ed red picks on TEs.

Lol. Sig worthy.

Boosie is from Louisiana, I'm sure Mo has been a fan of the gang banging, dope slanging, murderer for quite some time. Props to Lee, that was classic.
