Practice Squad Cowboys add DE Takk McKinley to practice squad

[America's Cowboy]

Sam Williams is not a great run stopping DE. He has been a great penetrator and has done a real good job blowing some plays up and getting a few TFLs, but he has also struggled to hold the edge consistently. It is at least in part to the mindset of these guys to get upfield and get the QB that is causing our run defense to give up plays IMO. They need to get back to basics. And if you want a DE that will hold the edge, put Golston back there on some early downs and for God's sake play 3 LBs. When you play 5 DBs all game you are going to struggle against the run.

Seriously? A highlight film? I'll tell you what. Read my comments on Williams and then watch the very first play on the clip you just posted. It's all I watched and I'm not watching 24 minutes. Again, watch the first play and tell me Williams consistently holds the edge. That is exactly what our problem is. He crashes down too hard and opens up the entire side of the field

And the Bears top us.

Well, he's going to be a Chicago Taco haha. (Chicago does have surprisingly good tacos, and now I'm a hungry horse)

It doesn't matter who you get untill you change the culture. Dallas is about splash plays and you ain't making anything splash sitting in your gap. Quinn needs to start sitting guys not following assignments and stop calling for stunts every play. No more DL "games" just stay in your gap and tackle the guy at the LOS like you are supposed to do.

Who cares? To late to get anyone decent to help with the run.

We have the players, it’s just too much to want to pass rush, it’s too easy. They’re forgetting about pausing and see if the running the ball first. This can be fixed we have the players

 

[Whirlwin]

Drafted by Atlanta so Quinn should be know him very well

I believe we have the players, we just need the patients

 

[Whyjerry]

Wow has this guy fallen. Supposed to be a major flake. Why bother? Should be seeking help at DT.

I agree and not going to complain about churning the bottom of the roster.

 

[Typhus]

I think many on here wanted to sign him as a FA. Some wanted to draft him as well.

I remember the hype during that draft, I was wanting him too.
Wonder now why he washed out like he did, he was a top prospect at the time.

 

[Typhus]

Is this the guy that was in the same draft class with Taco and TJ Watt? Of course, you know our selection.

Taco is the close comparison.

 

[DalFan75]

Taco is the close comparison.

He just signed with the Bears by the way

Every team likes to dumpster dive, and find that potential overlooked treasure.

Patience, Patience, we are entering week 11, why we talking about patience.
Just thinking about Iversons famous quote.

Golston is not stronger or better at edge run stopping than Sam Williams.

 

[unionjack8]

Lol. You cannot make this up. Hes on Tacos level of turdness

I'll fess up. I loved him in the draft that year.

 

[Blast From The Past]

By workout he means he went to Planet Fitness with Stephen.

Or had a chance run in there with Big Mike....

 

[CowboyChris]

I think we should be looking at run stuffing LB'ers instead of DE's especially the likes of McKinley, we already have his type in Fowler
