RELEASED Cowboys Release DE Damontre Moore

[Stash]

Maybe? Maybe if Watt played in a 4-3. In your quest to bash the FO you're already labeling Taco a bust after 6 games? Wow that's pretty quick. Taco has been a disappointment, but I'm not ready to give up on him so quickly.

Again, where did I ever "label Taco a bust"?

What looks to be "quick" is you being "quick" to make false claims on things people have never said.

That's happened here repeatedly.

In replying to Sydia's post, did you not just add Taco to "your list"?

 

[dallasdave]

Yeah, I thought it was a bad call then, and nothing that's occurred since has done anything to change my mind.

If anything, the results support the belief that they got it wrong.

Add it to the list!

Good stuff !!!!

Nowhere. You're seeing ghosts. Or as usual, only what you want to see.

"The list" is a string of questionable to outright awful decisions in a questionable offseason after a 13-3 year. None of which are looking like the right decisions right now.

We can go down that list one item at a time if you think it will look any better? You just let me know.

There were definitely concerns from scouts and analysts but the Cowboys clearly considered him and thought they could use him. They used one of their official team visits to bring him into The Star and Watt talked about how Marinelli laid out this plan on how they would use him as a DE and LB.

So to say the Cowboys didn't really consider him because he wasn't a fit isn't exactly true.

There always is a post draft excuse-making session where the player we picked was somehow the best choice and the one we did not was the right choice to avoid.

I think they just liked Charlton better being a pure DE and were scared of Watt's extensive leg injury history. Can't blame them for that (the injury side of it).

But yet they felt comfortable waiting at least a year with Jaylon Smith, who had real extensive and recent damage versus a distant history. Go figure.

I think the fact they already had a pet project on defense that had an extensive injury risk was reason enough to not take on another potential injury risk.

Their inconsistency is consistant.

And now you're reaching.

You're better than that.

 

[Sydla]

You're better than that.

Overreaching how?

It was reported after the draft that Watt's injury history to his knees was concerning for the Cowboys. I think it most certainly factored into the equation that they had used a prime pick on Smith who was a total injury concern and were a bit gun shy to take on another guy who while healthy then had a massively extensive knee injury history.

So because they accepted a guy with nerve damage requiring a redshirt year it made them gunshy about another player with a far less serious injury?

Sorry, that's just weak. You're trying to connect some dots that aren't there. And if that ever was their thinking, it looks worse, not better.

Sometimes dot connecting with this franchise is futile.

Part of the problem is the organizational backspin that you hear that makes some people think that "hey, we meant to do that".

We did a whole lot of research on Dak Prescott, look at that scouting work, let me tell you.

But ignore the fact that were it not for some teams not buying what Jerry Jones was offering in trade, we would have Paxton Lynch or worse Connor Cook as a starter right now.

Sure. It happens every day when measuring risk, not just in football.

I think you are just so hell bent on ripping the FO you aren't looking at this rationally. I can't see how anyone can get on an organization for being scared of taking a guy with their first round pick who has what is a pretty ugly injury history.

 

[Primetime42]

We're about to realize how the rest of the NFL lives with inconsistent kicking.

I'm mortified.

Gave you a like just for the Jericho reference

Shoot, to be honest, it’s even more likely we would have Josh McCown as a starter with one of those other guys as his backup if not for Dak falling in our lap. We’ve been lucky as heck these past few years.

They took another guy who had a catastrophic injury and might possibly have never played again in Jaylon Smith at pick 34. And now they're going to be scared to draft TJ Watt at 28, who not only recovered from his injuries, but did so well enough to have 11.5 sacks in his final year in college?

Sorry, that's not "rational" whatsoever. Not even close.

Yes. They did. They took a player with a prime draft pick that has an extensive knee injury in Smith.

It's not exactly shocking, or even bad logic, to then not want to take on another huge injury risk with another prime pick. Because in that scenario, they could now have two guys on their roster who they never get value out of if both get hurt (or in Smith's case, never come back). It was too big a risk for them.

I am not sure why this is such a difficult concept to understand.

We also depended on Bailey being practically automatic.

Better change that philosophy otherwise we will be having some short fields to defend.

or Tony Romo
