Twitter: Cowboys tweets 5/5

Crawford has started 75 of the past 80 regular season games.

He started 15 regular season games in 2018 and both playoff games.

And he's wasn't good. You achieved the same number of sacks at RDE as he did. I'm not about to argue the "starter" semantics game. You and I both know that he has no true starting role on this team. Unless you're willfully looking to fool yourself?

 

[xwalker]

It actually makes sense to cut him after this year as far as salary cap. Less dead money after this year.

That does not matter.

The combined 2019 and 2020 cap hit for Crawford:

If cut now.
4.2M

If cut after the 2019 season.
4.2M + 7M = 11.2M

Notice the 4.2M hits the cap either way.

The cost to keep him in 2019 is 7M.

DE 8 starts
DT 7 starts

They make the playoffs with him starting 15 games.

He only missed the 1 start because they rested some starters in game 16.

They have to find other DL that don't:
Get injured every year.
Get suspended for weed.
Get benched for attitude.
Make 21M per.

loci is back!

 

[buybuydandavis]

And why isn't your "best DT" not even starting there? How's is it that your "best DT" lost his starting job inside? Why is he now nothing more than a role player?

Then shame on "us" then. There's no excuse for a team to struggle to move on from an overpaid role player.

Crawford had the 2nd highest dline snap count after DLaw. His role seems to be "play a lot".

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

we know what we have out of Crawford. Better to shed his contract now. we arent goig to the SB this year, make the changes now that can make you better tomorrow.

sheez.

 

[stilltheguru]

Zeke got a signing bonus of 16mil and will be paid 4mil salary, along with whatever marketing deals he has made, much of the value of which can be attributed to him playing for the Cowboys.

Ya, I know,,, ain't it COOL?

So are you saying that they made the playoffs because of Tyrone Crawford? Or did they make the playoffs despite Tyrone Crawford? Like they made the playoffs despite Jeff Heath?

He only missed the 1 start because they rested some starters in game 16.

Actually, didn't he suffer a scary injury and sat out the next game as a precaution?

They have to find other DL that don't:
Get injured every year.
Get suspended for weed.
Get benched for attitude.
Make 21M per.

And their mistakes excuse Crawford not having a true starting role and underperforming his contract? Not in my book.

Crawford had the 2nd highest dline snap count after DLaw. His role seems to be "play a lot".

But not actually start.

And "play a lot" at a mediocre level. That's great.

And like I've said numerous times, you line that guy up at RDE and there is zero threat that you're going to sack the opposing quarterback. The Cowboys play with one hand tied behind their back.

 

[Falco78]

Now's the time to move on from Crawford.

I disagree he is one of the only solid players we have there

Underperforming, look at contracts now he has played above those

 

[Stash]

I have looked at contracts. And no, he hasn't played above those, not since he signed a deal befitting a player he never became.

We kept the wrong Crawford at the wrong price. The Falcons got more out of Jack Crawford, at 1/3rd the cost. And that's what Tyrone is, a nice rotational guy that should be paid and regarded that way. Because that's who and what he is.

You can argue rather Crawford is overpaid, or not, but I believe the FO values Crawford's leadership, so I'm not sure if they're too concerned about overpaying him or not.

 

[waldoputty]

yea, and he started a new project too!

You're likely very right. But it doesn't mean we have to agree with that decision either. Personally, I think they have a tendency to overvalue "leadership" and other intangibles that fail to translate to tangible production on the field.

Too many guys like Crawford, Witten, Lee, and Hurns kept around because of "leadership" and being "team guys" but on gamedays, the results aren't there on the field.

That's the way I see it.

 

[408Cowboy]

Well then, maybe "it's alcoholic clarity."

Fixed it for you

Which is generally right after they pray to the Porcelain God for about 35 straight minutes longer than they thought possible.
For the 6th time...

Yeah I can't condone wasting liquor.

 

[408Cowboy]

I feel like Tyrone Crawford is the new Greg Ellis. Greg Ellis had a good career but hated because he was drafted instead of Randy Moss. Tyrone Crawford is a good player but he is hated because he has a big contract.

Only one of those players produced and was worth their contract. Other than that it's exactly not the same.

Fact is if Crawford were half as good as Ellis he would be a steal.

 

[TheCount]

Show me others teams paying non-starters $10 million a year. It's not good business and it's a poor return on investment.

Oh, I see, you're worried about the business. I thought we were talking football.
