Signed by Cowboys Cowboys sign LB Joe Thomas

[Alexander]

So this practice squad scrub is going to replace the gimp on 3rd downs?

Is that what Strum is saying?

So we are signing people to cover the fact Jaylon Smith can't play more than two downs?

If that is the case, get rid of him. Draft a LB with two functional legs.

It is not that hard.

Both of those teams would have been ecstatic signing 2 year deals at the cheap prices they did.

But guess what.... Players have some control also. And in those prove it deals... They WON'T sign for more than a year.

You new?

Relax pops

So he’s not Lee’s insurance. He’s Smith’s.

 

[DiResta]

on the bright side
Dallas might be picking very early next year

seriously though
i get that they dont have excess money and they may be still looking to get a higher talent but wow
i think i would rather move Kavon to linebacker

You know, I would rather just have him described and sold to me as a "special teams ace".

If that's the case, exactly what downs can he play?

This better be a dam joke

$4.6 large dropped on a practice squad scrub...................oh hell no


I better not hear a dam word from the homers about how we aint got no money if we are dropping this kinda coin on a freaking practice squad scrub.

 

[Risen Star]

Don't let Alexander ruin it for you. This is an outstanding signing.

 

[Stash]

So let's see, can't play in the middle on early downs, but can't cover on passing downs...

Carry the one.

Subtract 3....

And that leaves us with zero downs for him to play!

[Darthkuriboh]

umm... who?

 

[jazzcat22]

I think you understood exactly what I meant.

We have dumb fans who lap up whatever the front office throws at them.

It works both ways, the dumb fans don’t always understand what is going on.

So we used the #34 overall pick on a LB that cant cover anybody...............wow

 

[KingintheNorth]

I don’t think we cut the FB
Wasn’t he signed off PS?

Nope. Cut August 2012.

As far as Jaylon It's all speculation right now.
What's the deal with his nerve?
His drop foot?
Jaylon HAS to show the ability to play three downs. Last year, whether it was fatigue or something else I'm not sure, his snaps had to be limited big time.
The funny thing was, he actually played well when they were limiting his snaps.
When he had to play more than 25 snaps it got ugly.

And worse yet, has no idea how to play the running game. That wasn't simply "return from injury", that was not having any ******* idea what you're doing.

 

[cowboyec]

how do we know we didnt just sign a helluva player.

 

[stilltheguru88]

Honestly, he’s probably better than Justin Durant. We need 2 more linebackers in the draft now.

Hey, the guy certainly got better as the season progressed. But I'll also say that the bar was set pretty low early on when he had no idea what he was looking at out there.

But if the team now needs to massage its entire game plan and roster to "cover" for him? It was an epic waste of the #34 overall pick in the 2016 draft.
