David Irving suspended 4 games

[Swanny]

Not as big of a turd as Arlington, though. Or Deep Ellum where all the pathetic hoboes crawl around like june bugs at night

Lol I live in Wisconsin. I went to Dallas one year for a game around New Years. My wife (girlfriend at the time)and I flew in to Dallas on New Years Eve. Got to our hotel dropped our stuff off and it was like 11 PM. Get a Taxi ask the driver for a good quick idea to celebrate at Midnight and he drops us off in Deep Elum.... Walk into a grunge bar that wasn't terrible. Walk into the next bar then realize we are the only people not tripping on acid or some serious drugs. To say the least that was a bad new years eve

Trying to find the bright sides:
This is added incentive to pick up a DT who can really contribute.
This lets us keep the rights to an additional player 4 weeks into the season. That's something.

I think we have some good ones when healthy, but that's the key word, isn't it? Healthy. I hate to overreact, but I reckon that now this forces our hand with a chap like Hankins or another FA that might be available.

At least Wade could coach defense.

How could he miss the test?

The Cowboys should have someone reminding him morning noon and night they day before and day of.

How can this happen?

It’s called an excuse. A very bad excuse

 

[glimmerman]

There’s only one reason why someone would miss the test

Wow. At least take the test. They have raised the level to fail. At least you have a chance to pass. Missing it is a guaranteed fail. Then posting on social media “ hey come over to my house and smoke.” Come on man.

Me too. And that small fact I don’t have billions of dollars.

I'm probably a minority but I'd still keep him this year and maybe next at league min but only as a rotational player. He's pis*ed away right to start IMO.


David Irving - DL - Cowboys
NFL suspended Cowboys DL David Irving four games for violating the league's substance abuse policy.

Irving will be eligible to return against Houston in Week 5. This is the second straight year he's served a four-game suspension after testing positive for PEDs in 2017. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, his latest ban stems from a series of missed drug tests. Irving logged a career-high seven sacks last season while earning PFF's No. 8 pass-rushing grade among 79 qualifiers at defensive tackle. His talent is undeniable but Irving needs to get his off-field life in order. The 24-year-old is set to become an unrestricted free agent next offseason.

I figured it had something to do with you not having 3 billion laying around

Still dont believe we need more help on the defensive side of the ball?

TWill was supposed to give him a ride to the test.

That'll be a sticky wicket, finding a trading partner. The only way that could work is a conditional draft pick, and that's likely a 7 if a team thinks about it. I do think Hankins needs to be signed now, though.

Worthless toolshed.....

Just one season man. All we want is one season without controversy and suspensions

[cowboy_ron]

I agree with you that it is terribly annoying. With that being said, I do see an improvement. Normally, we have loads of players suspended. This year, we have Irving and maybe Gregory, assuming he doesn't get reinstated. So, in that sense, we're doing better than usual. Hopefully, next season, we can get our suspension number down to 0.
