RELEASED Cowboys Release DE Damontre Moore

[Nightman]

So D Moore got into a bar fight last Thurs...........sits for SF game and gets cut for a Kicker

JGarrett says it was on-field reasons only but he was decent in limited snaps

 

[Doomsay]

If you decide to put away your pitch fork and lynch rope and try to be a little objective, you can see that the FO is trying to go about building this team the right way. Yes they have bombed on their free agent signings, and they really need to improve in this area, but thank the high heavens they didn't break the bank in these signings and going forward will not affect them from signing other free agents.

We were 13-3 last year and have already lost as many games in less than a third of the season. I get the future ballon payment angle, but the FO needs to be personnel savy enough not to deplete the strength of this team in transition. Too many decent to solid vets cut and too much FA garbage and wounded or green rookies to replace them. You don't get back the productive years of your core, it's a wasting asset.

Luckily? Unless your sole purpose is to constantly bash the FO, why not give them credit? They did a heckuva of a job in drafting Lewis, Awuzie, and Woods. That's three potential starters in one draft. That's very impressive, but when you're agenda driven to constantly criticize the FO such as yourself, I guess not.

Typical response from "hopeful" fans who have been forced to accept mediocrity over the past 24 years. I get it, but it's the reason the team has been filled with constant holes for so long. Slow down with the anointing of these guys before they prove they can consistently play. You don't win with potential. How many guys have started for this team but would've never got PT on any good defense in the league? We have about 7-8 of them right now starting on defense alone.

Awuzie has shown flashes in the brief time he's been on the field. If you cannot see the talent this FO has drafted over the years, I can't really help you.

He's not the one who need some the "help".

Awuzie hasn't done a thing yet, but according to you, he's already a success. And meanwhile, the first rounder who hasn't done anything is clearly omitted from the discussion.

And the offensive linemen are talked up while all of the Gavin Escobar's are clearly omitted.

And sure, they "bombed their free agent signings", but at least they're didn't pay a lot for their garbage. Sheesh!

Yes, your "Cowboys blue tinted glasses are deceiving you".

Wait ..he was cut for a bar fight?

Amazing how we've changed as a society and I'm not allowed to say why here. These types of things are cherished and worshipped with the players of the past. If it happens today the player is a cancer.

I'd take that up with the league. They're the ones that will likely be suspending Moore again for yet another off-field incident, like the two games he was suspended this year. Is it worth it to take the negative PR and more missed games for a guy who wasn't contributing anyway?

And his number of snaps was dropping each week as well. He was being phased out even before this incident. This one just broke the camel's back.

The information has changed also. It was pretty rare that you would hear about players getting in trouble unless it was profound.

Imagine for example if the Clint Longley/Staubach thing happened now. That was a locker room story that was not publicized in heavy detail.

Today? It would explode on Twitter and then people would be questioning if NFL locker rooms are a "safe place".

By that method, Matt Johnson was great pick. He showed "flashes" too. Same for Chaz Green.

If you can't understand that a player that is not available is not worth high regard much less praise for the organization picking them, I don't know how to help you either.

Yeah but admit our talent's amazing or you can't be taken seriously.

If the club cut him for a bar fight..then there is no hope for the club. Fighters are exactly what this defense needs. If a little rough stuff scares Garrett so much maybe he needs to be cut.

The bar "fight" was a lot like Elliott's where he was there, but there was nothing to it.

Just goes to show you that you have a higher level of tolerance for stars than you do depth players.

Moore's case was that he was on thin ice to begin with and getting involved several more times with incidents was the final straw.

I just do not understand why you would expect a player who has been a headcase to suddenly turn it around, especially with the culture this team has.

Its hard to understand the thinking of the Cowboy front office.

Fighters on the field, not off the field. Where was all of Moore's "fight" when it mattered?

I had hopes for the guy too, but it never materialized. After being suspended for his last off the field blunder, he came back and did - nothing. And then watched as his playing snaps decreased each week, despite the fact that nobody was stepping up at RDE.

No, this guy was watching opportunity slip away anyway, and his actions only helped the inevitable to happen sooner.

The guy I saw and heard in the offseason sounded like he was getting it. That's obviously not the case.

It is because there is no consistency nor focused direction in the decision making process.

One day, it is Power Jerry Jones wildcattin', the next day cheapskate Stephen Jones tightens the purse strings, the next day everyone bows to the whim of some coach.

Not necessary. They have t-shirts with the word FIGHT on them laying around, I am sure.

Well then it's their own fault, isn't it?

The players are only doing what they're told. I mean the t-shirt isn't specific, is it?

I think Moore may have a grievance case here...

The FIGHT t-shirt was a few years ago though.

Not sure if it was replaced by 17 INCHES or FINISH. Maybe it is RE-COMMIT.

I don't know. It is so hard to keep up with.

Really only Thorton got average pay.

4M is way way down the list when looking at annual averages for CBs.

Paea got 1-year, 1.96M.

And for that 4MM and 2MM I could have gotten a better 1 Tech. Or starting SS.
