Signed by Cowboys Cowboys Sign S Keanu Neal

[rambo2]

Did y’all know the offensive tackle we just signed is 35-years old?

That’s not a joke.

He is healthy and played well enough to start a game for Buffalo and made a key block in that game that created a long td.

 

[visionary]

They are already better at defensive tackle over last years team and they aren't done. Do you realize that they have 10 draft picks and will sign some more free agents?

the bodies they have signed don’t make them better

you do realize they were #31 against the run last year (that’s out of 32 teams just to refresh your memory )

we don’t have any real DT
we don’t have a really MLB thumper
We don’t have a FS

other than that we’re great

 

[bigE79]

Reminds me of 31 in this clip,he definitely is a hitter,that's for sure.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

The best part ... none of those guys are soft. Hard nosed hitters

You add Donovan Wilson in there as well... wish we had a run stuffing middle linebacker. Plug up them holes.

 

[boysfanindc]

Still can play and doesn’t have a lot of mileage on him. I believe he’s an upgrade over Fleming and Erving

Definitely is and he has another trait he is available to play.

 

[rambo2]

Big upgrade at what position?

Whatever you want to call it. It puts a guy on the field that will hit people any way you slice it.

 

[Skybox22]

Isn’t he coming off an Achilles tear? Well, I guess he can’t be any worse than what we already have.

Achilles and ACL tears (different years).

 

[rambo2]

Neal and Basham will both create fumbles. That is a good thing.

They certainly are better at defensive tackle. Do you really think that Crawford and the no name they will lose are better than the 2 guys signed? There is no way that is true.

Should we pull out the old "boom" video?

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Is he any good?

Considering what was back there my 9 year old daughter would be an upgrade.

 

[Section446]

It's a big name that didn't live up to expectations... It's a low-risk move though.

 

[speedkilz88]

Achilles and ACL tears (different years).

2018 & 2019 though, he played last season for Quinn.

 

[rambo2]

Lol the Cowboys and their 1 year deals.

Lol at not understanding the Salary cap. The players want one years deal because the cap is going up.

 

[bigE79]

Should we pull out the old "boom" video?

LoL...that's reserved for Roy.

I understand the cap just fine. How about the last few years? It’s not the cap going up it’s the Cowboys being cheap in FA. I guess Quinn’s deal was in light of the cap going up too. Keep lapping up that Kool Aid.

Cheap? They are signing everybody that they can and will use their entire cap.

The guys Dallas signed are all solid against the run. The issues in the run game last year were more about effort, scheme, and familiarity with their assignments. It was awful and Poe out there was the worst. He was giving zero effort. One of the worst showings by a DT that I’ve ever seen.

Like Jimmy Johnson said, “run stoppers are a dime-a-dozen”. For the most part I agree, and they don’t have to weigh 350 to do it. They just have to know what to do and have the desire to do it... both of which were missing last season.

The new guys in Quinn’s scheme will be more than adequate against the run. Trust me, even without the new guys, this defense will look like a different group. Quinn alone moves the defense up in the rankings. With the free agent additions (including what is still to come) and the draft, the defensive improvement will be large.

One year prove it deal

Probably more like a one year, we can’t afford more this year, but we can pay more next year.

No, that’s the other guy.
