Interesting words from Broaddus yesterday on Dallas wanting to see more of Irving at 3-technique and move Crawford over to 1-technique (Hayden has both ankles injured). What if both players excel at those positions. In Marinelli defense the 3-technique is the money position. Can Dallas afford to pay Crawford $9 mill year to be run-stopper? The fact that practice squad guy might be better than our $9 million dollar player tells me there might have been over-valuation by Stephen Jones/Will McClay/Jason Garrett.

I actually think that will benefit us.. Just because hayden is off the field. Crawford has been taken alot of double teams this year too. I'm not down on him as much as others are. Hes still young. When did broaddus say this? Which article

That's one thing I've noticed, too. Crawford has taken a lot of heat, but I see him constantly doubled because teams aren't worried about Hayden or Jack Crawford as much.

Scour practice squads for a new/real/half-decent 1-Tech...

Keep rotating Crawford and Irving....

Whether they can afford to pay him or not after losing his job and moving elsewhere to try to salvage something, just imagine how much more they would have had to pay him had he hit the open market and we are now competing with 31 other teams.

When you look at it that way it's a bargain.

Whoever had the best nicknames.

If you can print your own t-shirts, bonus.

That is just a round about way of saying "keep Rod the God"
Because no one had better nick names

How do you beat "golden cock"?

You worship the ground he walks on
Just come out and say it

The good thing about Irving is he is under contact next season and will be a restricted free agent until after the 2018 season.

Crawford will either figure it out, or be gone, way before they have to address paying Irving top $.

In all seriousness, if they do part ways I hope the Cowboys work out an agreement with him that the nicknames stay here.

We keep the t-shirts too. Or at least the XXLs for Stephen.
