Twitter: Cowboys tweets 9/3

Of course:

Or 7 LBs.

Or Tyree Robinson.

Could have been a couple of things...

-What they believe the potential of the player is
-How many snaps the player would get per game
-If they played special teams or not

The #1 DT spot on this team only needs a run-stuffer about 1/2 the number of snaps... Maybe 500 for the season. The rest of the time they'll move a DE inside or have two pass-rushing DT's like Crawford & Collins.

And if the starting #1 DT is getting 3/4 of the snaps (not an unreasonable number) then that leaves 125 snaps up for grabs.

Yeah no doubt the Cowboys wanted to get Price back, but that 7th linebacker and Robinson are also going to be part of special teams.

It's one of those things... You're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't.

I don't view the losing of Price as being a big blow.

Of course:

Now that is not fair...that's his reaction to everything.

I view it simply from the perspective of they thought they were being cute and thought no one would pick up Price.

They were wrong. Why they thought Price wouldn’t get picked up but we were worried a guy like Robinson or Covington would is peculiar.

Who knows what their chain of thought was... They're not dummies, they had some rationale and thought they could get Price through waivers.

Oh well.

 

[ESisback]

Freaking biased jerk

Who the hell is Benjamin Albright?

The guy who proves, no matter how dumb or educated you are, you can do whatever you want to do!

 

[charleshaleyfan94]

Here’s a question.

Why even cut Price if you wanted to keep him? Looks like they took a risk and got burned.

agree. Why not put Moore on IR in the first place?

 

[Fletch]

The Youth Excuse is coming.

 

[Carson]

The Youth Excuse is coming.

We have the guys we want. The nucleus is there! Give them boys another 5-7 years and we’re aiming to win a playoff game!!

Would imagine that’s Jerry’s mindset

 

[Sydla]

Oh well.

The reality is their thought process was wrong.

Why can’t we just admit they probably made a mistake?

 

[TheSkaven]

Freaking biased jerk

Let them to continue to underestimate us. Everything will be turned on its head by week 4 when the Eagles open 1-3 and the Cowboys are 4-0.

Oh Sydla…

What you're doing is "resulting".

Just because the results weren't positive, doesn't mean the process was flawed.

There's an element of risk based upon what the 31 others do or do not do.

 

[Stash]

They certainly did. They cut him for that offensive lineman from Buffalo. Who will likely be cut before he ever plays a game.

Resulting is really all that matters.

They goofed if they wanted Price as a backup DT.

Again, why so tough to just say, “It looks like they overplayed their hand and got burned.......”

 

[Cowboys22]

They're not dummies

I think you misspoke or auto correct did something there.

Do you cry about everything, most here claimed Price was a waste of roster spot, now because The Great Gruden wanted him, we got played....lol

It’s not at all tough to say it, but why say it if it doesn’t have the benefit of being true?

They took a calculated risk and it didn’t pay off. They didn’t necessarily overplay anything. We don’t even know yet what the backup plan was.

The Youth Excuse is coming.

Not sure why anyone needs an excuse to not pick up a first round pick who sucked so hard that the team who traded up for him gave up on him after 2 seasons.

there were options they were faced with ; they had better depth at DT and were lite at safety
they may see more in Covington then they see in Price
