Twitter: Cowboys Tweets 8/2

[Stash]

• Yesterday, I noted that Brian Price had given Travis Frederick fits in one-on-one pass rush drills. This trend continued today; on multiple occasions, Price beat Fredbeard— a man who surrendered exactly zero sacks in 2017 — with quickness and surprising power. One of the positions the Cowboys most desperately need a miracle to happen is at the one-technique defensive tackle. Price’s early performance gives us some hope that this miracle might occur.

Oh yeah baby. The Price is Right

If we’re lucky, Price is one of those rare 320 pound men who moves like a 280 pound man.

Lol

This is HUGE my fellow Zoners:



Me likey!!

This is not totally true, Marinelli has been trying to use Seattle concepts for a couple years now.

 

[Dre11]

This is confirmation of exactly what I had suspected. Nothing public of course, but a clear indication of a torch being passed.

Richards may be first in line, but I don't see it as a torch being passed considering this is the defense Rod has been trying to run since he's been here. He now have someone here to help.

 

[jterrell]

This isn't new.
Rod wasn't really the DC last year either.
Rod honestly wants to coach DL and that's his preference.
He's one of the very best at it and should be able to do it until he is 90 if he desires.
They offered to give up the title last year and the guy didn't want it, so now Richard comes in and is understood to be the DC and likely head coach in waiting.

Great news on Price and Armstrong!

The coaches liked Price enough to re-sign him without hesitation. In terms of his traits, his size for NT as well as upfield and lateral quickness (3tech traits coaches want in 1tech), Price is the perfect man for the job. I think Ward and him will make a great combo come week 1.

Anyone heard much on X Woods? I haven’t heard good or bad since TC

Broaddus and the boys were saying the safeties were hard to evaluate until they can actually hit be-it games or the blue-white scrimmage. Woods, Heath, and Frazier all play the position with physicality and their impact is mitigated when that's not allowed.

Etc. A pass could have been incomplete if Woods got the chance to hit the receiver, but since he can't he is forced to allow a completion.

 

[Direwolf63]

This may be a good idea.

I just wish we didn't have coaches who just look around the league and trying to copy what they like. I wish we had coaches who innovate and create rather than copy others.

Makes sense.

Fair enough. We disagree on this one. I think Marinelli has ceded control to give more focus to what he truly loves and is best at - coaching the defensive line.

Why not just make the change!!! No cajones in the FO?

Forgone conclusion. The only way he isn't the next DC is if Garrett gets fired this year.
No need to get into peeps trying to muddy the water.

I like it when peeps ask questions they already know the answer to.

I prefer to think of it as a classy transition of power, rather than anyone winning or losing. I think it's noble to see a coach working with his eventual successor and passing the torch rather than someone's trying to "keep what's mine!"

So should we bring in Urban Meyer as a QC coach?? Lol!

 

[Alexander]

Yet another DE. I guess another DT is just unnecessary at this point with all this talent we have.
