We haven't heard much about Mo this year which is a good thing, up to this point at least he is playing better then Carr.

Julio burns everyone and I don't recall him burning Mo often if at all. You're getting your cornerbacks mixed up.

Yeah but No is the one who came out with an excuse. Sometimes I wish he keep it to himself. Carr and Pattmon got burnt, they are not making excuses.

I'm pretty sure someone asked a question and he answered it. i dont think he voluntarily blurted out that he's dealing with knee soreness.

Besides the guy is coming off a horrific knee injury. He's bound to have soreness in that knee for a while.

Sore knees now.

He isn't giving any excuses. Jerry broke the news that he has sore knees. Stop reading so much into it. Given his past injuries his knees are likely to be sore more times than not. He is playing very well this year. Far better than most expected.

I don't see why this is a big deal. Someone asked about his knee and Claiborne answered that it's still a little sore and he's going to play through it.

Terrance Williams is what he is... a #2 receiver. Hopefully now people will appreciate Dez Bryant more and how much he opens up the offense because other teams have to gameplan to stop him.

I find it funny some here thought T-Will could evolve into a #1 he is this teams TJ Who's Your Mama

The fact that Claiborne is willing to play through his knee soreness should be more than enough to convince those looking for something to put him down about to get off his back. Let's stop looking for lame excuses to criticize him. There's nothing wrong with mentioning it and saying you'll play through it -- just give the guy a break. Witten came out on the evening news doing the same thing lately with no backlash. It's well past time to get real on this issue.

That's what I'm saying its expected. I'm sure Sean Lee all Crawford dealt with this. Oscan will too but I doubt he will mention it.

Excuses, his knees was address last year and he had more than a year off. I'm not giving him a pass. You can, then when he stink it back up go and point to his knees as an excuse. But I bet by then it wouldn't be a valid excuse. As I recall Mo said his knees was fine during TC. So which one is it?

I've seen a lot of people mention the dropped INT by Mo. While I agree he should have caught it, there really should have been offensive PI called.

He made a great break on the ball, and got pushed sideways by Julio, and he couldn't make the adjustment in mid air.

Comparing Mo to Witten is, in any football discussion, insane.

No one on earth can doubt Witten's toughness and ability to play through injury/discomfort. But, it's much easier for a TE to play with sore knees/ankles than it is for a corner. A corner has to make many more quick starts and stops, cuts, etc. Witten isn't exactly known for his speed, so getting slowed down a bit due to injury/soreness isn't as big of a deal for him as it would be for Claiborne or any corner for that matter.

Just stop dude, you're making yourself look silly. He isn't making any excuses about his play. Where in reality did you read this made up nonsense? Dude allowed 4 catches on Julio Sunday why on gods green earth would he need some lame built in excuse? Stop pushing the agenda and layoff the glue. He's experincing soreness in his knee after weeks of TC and 3 games and you think he's lying? What reality do you live in to think that he's making it up or lying that he is now having sorness in his surgically repaired knee? He's been the best CB and probably rated in the top half of the league right now. You keep using this word "excuse" yet I don't think you really understand it's meaning at all. SMH... I just can't with this... wow

Tyrone Crawford DL DAL 1 year ago
Cowboys DL Tyrone Crawford admits he's experienced more soreness than expected in his return from a torn Achilles' tendon, but claims he's "completely healed."

"It's still sore, but that's getting used to being at practice," Crawford said. "I'm just going to get through OTAs. ... Hopefully I feel good by training camp." The Cowboys' embarrassingly thin defensive line can ill afford a setback from Crawford, who's expected to see snaps both at three-technique and left end.

Lee also talked about soreness coming back from the ACL tear. As Scandrick will do next year when he is asked about it. But you and others criticizing Mo won't notice or care about it. Because you like him as a player.
