Cowboys inactives

[gtb1943]

I have a feeling Blue is still figuring things out in terms of blitz pickup and things like that. That's just as important as what he can do with the ball in his hands.

and apparently that is coming from him not putting in the work which is a honking big red flag

 

[gtb1943]

and Mazi is once again a healthy scratch

just about any other team in the NFL would have cut him by now

 

[rambo2]

At this point the Cowboys need to be ready for this to be a red shirt season for Blue if they aren't going to activate him.

Does Blue not understand this is professional football? Grow the hell up and put your big boy pants on.

If Blue doesn't want to play, Phil Mafah will get a shot.

 

[CATCH17]

No Blue again.

 

[HungryLion]

there were hints of this before the draft and as usual Jethro and company say we can fix him
we can rebuild him
we have the culture!

I didn’t know that. But this Explains why somebody with his physical talent didn’t get more snaps in college and fell to the 5th.

It has to be pass protection. But what little we saw in preseason he looked good at it.

 

[fivetwos]

When it first came out that he was “borderline lazy,” he was quick to defend it.

What has happened since, and what exactly is the problem?

Why didn’t they know this before drafting the guy?

Quinshon Judkins has had no training camp and missed the first game and will be playing today with at least 15-20 snaps. Has Quinshon Judkins shown the coaching staff he already worth 15-20 snaps? Oh wait, he's a 2nd round pick so there's more reason to get him on the field.

 

[JohnsKey19]

Cowboys aren't going to make much of a dent with Williams and Sanders. They should give Blue real game experience and see what he can do.

They dont trust the player enough for whatever reason(s) to put him on the field. They're not going to play him to "see what he can do". Seems like there's some truth to the reports/rumors that surfaced earlier in the summer.

Blue was a late round 3rd day pick for a reason. The team had an opportunity to land a RB on day 1 or 2 of the draft, but the board didn't fall the way they wanted.

Ftr, I like the first 3 round picks in Booker, Ezeiruaku, and Revel, so no complaints.

Blue will need time to develop. Learning the offense. Knowing all of his responsibilities. Understanding audibles, blocking assignments (pass pro), ball security, route running, how to break down film, how to condition/train, how to eat, how to recover, how to be a professional as a player and as an adult off the field.

Not easy for a 1st round player, let alone a 5th round guy. The FO chose to sign Sanders and not trade for Breece "Lightening" Hall during the draft or right after the draft. Sanders needs to get his stuff in order, but the fact that fans are looking at him as a savior is more an indictment on the FO than Blue, IMHO.

Schotty only had good things to say about him during camp. The only negative about Blue came from a former coach of around 20 years ago.

 

[darthseinfeld]

The message they think they're sending to Blue is we todd it. You do that when you have a good player to replace him. Not the slop we have at the position.

I think the message ia "yet again we botched the position "

 

[Risen Star]

Mazi has a chance to play next week if he is more intentional.

 

[Risen Star]

Why didn’t they know this before drafting the guy?

Exactly. That is why you do not blame the player. You blame the decision makers.

 

[goshann]

Brad Sham said on the pregame he hears Blue is still just too immature and not dependable.

I hated the Sanders signing from the start, but maybe we should blame the player (Blue) and not the coaches.

This
We desperately need a RB with speed IMO
This is super disappointing

 

[goshann]

Nah most wouldn’t have
Most follow three year rule for high picks

 

[Cowboys93]

Dallas neglecting RB and DT year over year continues to haunt them

That would make the fourth person alluding to the same thing:

1. Former Cowboys position coach
2. Dane Bruglar
3. Coach Schotty
4. Brad Sham

Where’s all the heehaw crew that was whining about fake news when it originally came out?

 

[Risen Star]

People seemed excited about Javonte Williams debut. I just don't see it. 50 yards, 3 and a half yards a carry. The washed up version of Zeke could have scored those two touchdowns.

He had one nice run carrying the defense 10 yards to the goal line. That was it.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

What does too immature mean is my question?

He’s not professional enough. Pretty common for young players that are used to relying on talent only to perform. That works in college but not the NFL. He’s probably coasting in practices and/or seems inattentive in meetings.
