Twitter: Cowboys interested in LB Nicholas Morrow

[xwalker]

Cheap veteran LB depth and ST player.

Would still need to make the team.

He played 75% of the snaps on defense in 2020. Only 29% on ST. On IR in 2021.

If you're not new to the game, you kind of have an idea of how we view and approach free agency. I'm not agreeing with it, but we don't go deep sea fishing. We stay close to the edge and use worms for our prey. Unless we change our tune, don't get too excited for big game, be prepared for the rabbits and squirrels. Then, we draft mediocre talent in areas of need and wait to see who will actually play in games. It's a vicious cycle that we've been going through for over 25 years.

That hasn’t worked.

Didn't know much about him or if they viewed him as a starter here.

Very moot now.

Would rather have Keanu Reeves.....

Probably not. Then you’ve got Agent Smith hunting him down and taking out a bunch of our players in the
process.

The fact that I have never heard of him makes him the perfect FA target for this team.

I think he had an island somewhere in the Pacific. Experiments and stuff.

The good news is that it looks like he might be better at that coverage role than Neal is. I think Cox could be as well, but he might get the LVE role. It's also possible if we sign Morrow that both he and Cox could be the linebackers out there in the nickel with Parsons at end.

He looks identical to a younger version of Neal.

Jabril Cox also projects to be a replacement for Neal.

Neither of them appear built for the 2021 LVE role.
- Quinn had LVE playing as a stack-and-shed LB. The Bill Parcells style.
- That made it possible to play Parsons as a rover without defined gap responsibilities.
- Marinelli only coached the run-and-hit style.
- Both Mike Nolan and Quinn tried playing Jaylon as stack-and-shed but that failed.
- Quinn rotated Neal and LVE based on pass or run.
- In games that Parsons primarily played DE, Neal was over-exposed vs the run.
- Jabril Cox in the preseason gave up more big plays but was also near the top in big plays made.
- The bonus with LVE was that he could cover TEs which is an issue for many stack-and-shed type LBs.
- Parcells' stack-and-shed LB Bradie James couldn't cover Nate Newton running a pass route.

They're highly likely to draft an off-ball LB in the top 3 rounds, IMO.

Our being interested and other teams being interested are two different things.

How much did you know about Jayron Kearse when they signed him last year?

hmmm...what if we throw in Trinity and Morpheus???

 

[cowboyec]

if this is the type we're looking at...just bring back LvE...he can't be that expensive.
personally,i'd love to get rashaan evans.
but i'm not expecting it.
