[Mr Cowboy]

Good for him, we can use the help.............

 

[jblaze2004]

were going to need all the passrush we can get

 

[CowboyFan4Eva]

Who is this guy? What's his resume or scout report?

 

[big dog cowboy]

I kind of figured we would see him at some point this year. Our DL is the ultimate 'next man up' position.

A sign that Ware is expected not to play, though there is evidence of that already.

 

[Staubacher]

'Bout time Vega moved up to the second floor...

More than ware.

Edgar jones is still out this week also.

 

[kruddy]

Who knows he only saw pre-season playing time. He is probably not the second coming, but our D line coach is remarkable.

 

[jobberone]

Maybe we'll find another player. I don't what Marinelli is doing with those guys but I wan't some.

 

[Awakened]

More than ware.

Yep, and Selvie is probable, so he may be limited. Can Andre Smith play DE?

Three years after the demise of Northeastern’s football program, one member of its final squad will be returning home this spring.

Here is your chance Vega make the most of it buddy

 

[cowboys1981]

He plays with a lot of energy. He could create another big spark on our defense. If our front four can create pressure on Foles the way we did on RG3, we will create some INT's on some rushed throws.

Not much, but in this video he gets a really nice push and nice contain against an OL.

Oh Yeah, Blue Bomber to Cowboy!

I had read the Marinelli really like what he saw from Vega -- he's clearly not going to be ready to play a lot but if you get 10 snaps out of him, it really helps

 

[MRV52]

Played for my home town in the CFL. Had a very good pass rush. Nice to see Jason suit up.

 

[MRV52]

Here is his CFL stats with Winnipeg.

Vega looks like he'll be our next Demarcus Ware. I am impressed with his speed and tenacity going after the QB from the video I saw on YouTube. Hadn't really paid much attention to him but after watching that video he is definitely an agressive player with the moves and speed. I like that Marinelli gives these guys a shot. Diamond in the rough, possibly.
