Organization can't be happy with the defensive tackle position of this team.....This defense needs a monster defensive tackle to take the next step....that should be priority number one in next years draft.

Who you trying to kid with a school yard comparison?

I played with David Hill, Ernest Price, Levi Johnson, Dwight Harrison, Eldridge Small, and Don Hardeman...who all went into the Pros. But get this, they were from a single team playing NAIA football. Texas A&I...and nobody but us were watching. Oh, and they were there two seasons after Eugene Upshaw was drafted from the Javelinas by Oakland.

All but Hardeman played in a Pro Bowl!!

Go hogs!

Would love for this to be true but the signingredients may have more benign reasons. Hayden and McClain can't practice, need camp bodies at 1 tech and preseason. I hope Carlif is that monster in the middle that can plug the run (likes fans have clamored for) and is active and disciplined against pass (like Marinelli insists on) and forces Hayden from starting lineup.

Tayler has the potential to provide both, just need the intelligence/technique (blackmail photos? Endowments??) that Hayden possesses. Like Bishop he has the work ethic and hustle too.

'Rule' you refer to stinks...try measuring heart with any of the pie in the sky measuring 'tools' you brag about.

This response makes no sense considering that the exception really isn't always the rule.

No sense, your quote is akin to saying the sun is like hot. Duh?

You don't but invent a 'rule' that doesn't apply...

now, to boil it down for YOU: it's not the rule that achieves, it's the player.

Terrible analogy.
While every great once in a while a player rises above their limitations it is VERY rare. (see Tom Brady)
This new DT signing just MAY turn out to be an exeption.And since he is a Cowboy I wish him success. But if you and I were going to wager a $1000 on who will most likely to be right I would throw my grand on the table faster than you will.

Alright, obvious arguer...for the record, it's just wrong to start fitting for golden jackets right now. But for the record, it's also without justification, to discount a young player. (coughing loudly) ... and before even watching any of his action on the carpet for Dallas. Remain smug and clueless...and don't predict another's actions, whether the new DT, or mine. I'll bet a $1,000 here and now, that Taylor and I BOTH have more heart than you.

ok, lets just be happy Dallas is churning the roster WHEN they feel it makes sense or see something they like Whether it roster, camp body, squad, who cares, guys come in, guys go out. Again, on this one Garrett is being a smarter coach. I give credit where credit is due. and my opinion trumps his facts. so there :p:p:p

Wonder if Josh Brendt could've been effective at all.....hope he is keeping things squared away out of football.

Just for the record. I hope I am dead wrong and this kid makes it here.

There's a game tonite so I'm not going to bench you two but I will if this continues. Knock it off.
