Kelvin paid for that # didnt he? His lucky # wasnt so lucky for him was it?
These players are dumb to think a jersey is lucky, and paying for it is also dumb.
Take the # you get and make it famous is the best approach.
He did not have to pay. It was available when wilson left

I'm glad that bum (KJ) is gone, I can't believe another team was willing to trade anyone for him. I don't even care if who we got is any good. It's about that bum being gone. I started hating that bum the first time I saw him interviewed. He just presented himself as a total numbskull. Then his performance on the field did nothing to change that first impression.
it is bizarre trade , one team dumping their 1st round bust corner for the other teams 2nd rd bust corner.
Bottom line is both teams wanted to get something out of their bust , so they trade for another bust , thinking we can fix this one.

Kelvin was a dummy, so maybe this guy has more upstairs and can also play on ST.

I have to say the miami corner is proof that being drafted in the 1st round means nothing as far as upside or talent or potential.(in ref to trey lance)

Meh. Noah was a bust in Miami.

Really young, but just didn't play well at all. Team last year tried to avoid playing him even with all the injuries ahead of him
Basically let's trade our bust for your bust and hope a change of scenery helps both.

Would not be surprised if something else happened we don't know about. Doesn't have to be as crazy as the shooting, but another immature sign that made the organization say 'enough is enough.'

As Jimmy says in his book Swagger: "Hit me in the head next time I draft a dumb guy. 90% of your mistakes in game are with guys you can't reason with."
90% of mistakes in life...

Damn. I thought KJ was turning a corner. Maybe the coaches are seeing something different in the meeting room.

Igobnahane (definitely bombed the spelling) looks the part of a Dan Quinn corner, but has never even shown flashes of hope. KJ has at least had some moments.

the only thing I ever held against him was his absolute refusal to turn his head toward the incoming ball to make a play on it…….otherwise , he’s the salt of the earf.
This is a common misconception amongst fans. Turning your head to the ball changes your position. Try running while also turning your head. It can be done, but when you're step-for-step, turning your head can take you out of step. The position you're in as a defender matters, and knowing if/when to turn your head matters. Often times, coaches will teach you to not turn your head, and instead have you watch the receivers hips to know where the defender is turning and then eyes to know when to bat the ball and place your hands between the ball. It's more likely he was coached this way than it being indicative of his ability. Depends on the scheme. But when I played man-to-man, that's how I was coached as well. If you're in position to take the ball, you watch the eyes, then turn your head. Still, there's that window where turning your head can cause you to miss the INT and result in a reception if your timing is off or if the receiver bluffs or times the route correctly.

Anyway, I liked Joseph as a player with potential. But a big part of me is glad the distraction is gone. I hope this new guy pans out. But I still think Joseph will have the better career, until I see evidence to the contrary.

Still uncertain the thinking of trading Joseph but another CB bust....given recent OL issues I figured Dallas would have worked something out to get Steelers OG Kevin Dotson (traded to the Rams yesterday). I guess we will see.

This is what I said from the beginning of last year. Joseph was more of a free safety/slot corner than an outside corner. Doran Bland put the nail in Joseph's coffin in Dallas since he can play both.

If that was an actual reel of highlights, it would have been about 80% shorter. Most of those were bad throws by the QB and tackles for a first down...and why do these highlight reels make us listen to crap music?
If Turpin goes down, he can return...

Why trade Joseph for another Joseph? Just cut Joseph and keep one of the corners at the bottom of the roster you kinda like. The staff must like this guy from the Dolphins better than our 5th to 7th corner on the roster.

I am glad we are rid of the penalty machine though.

Guys like Joseph make stupid mistakes at the worst times!!!

Dallas stacking up all these first-round talent! Lance, and not Noah!

While I do not necessarily disagree with you, one was the 3rd pick in the draft and the other was a 30th. A rather large difference between those two drafting positions, so this is not really an apples to apples comparison or reference.

Exactly, or they can rotate if needed.
