DE Damontre Moore suspended for 2 games

Maybe the whole team should just sit out the whole season to get all our suspensions done in advance; then we'll return in 2018 when they're ready to play football. *sarcasm*

So tired of this.

I guess its too bad you dont know what RKG means per Jason Garrett. If you did, you and many other people wouldn't be feeling the way you do. Especially since its been quoted a thousand times on this website.

I know what it is supposed to mean, and despite thus guy LOVING FOOTBALL he STILL did this, one thing begets the other imo

What did Garrett do this time?

This was from Moore's pre-Cowboy days.

Have to admit though, Ive always considered him a bit of a dirty player

Absolutely nothing. Since when does that get in the way of calling him an idiot, though?

Forgive my pavlovian reaction there. I heard the bell ring, so I posted.

#RKG.
 
You have to be kidding me.

Even though this happened before his time here it will be considered another black eye to the Cowboys.

It is just a negative thing. All it does is illustrate that even though we are aware it is an issue, we just don't care.

Jerry Jones thinks it does not matter on the field.

Well apparently, he does not think that much of the lack of availability factor either, despite what he says.

We knowingly, and willingly signed a player we knew may be suspended.

Well he was arrested this past December. Cowboys would have known about this and they would have known the real possibility that he would be fined and suspended for this. He will serve the 2 games and then we will find out if Cowboys made a mistake with him or not.

Unless he comes back, plays fourteen games and blows up unlike anything he has ever done as a professional, this ultimately becomes another Jerry Jones dry hole.

Yep, and you know the Zeke hammer is coming.

A meh off-season and all of this player conduct nonsense is robbing us of the great momentum from last year.

Only Jerry Jones could mess this up.

Well, he and Jason Garrett.

Well, it not like the DE market was booming.
 
Sweet the boys can almost field a team of suspended players....JJ must be proud with all these RKGs.

This is something I have heard, over and over again, to excuse this franchise's inability to identify and secure DE talent.

The market is always there if you are willing to pay for it. But, we did what we do with the position.

We went on the cheap, got an even more low rent George Selvie type and then alsoget a player that won't even be available the whole season even if they make it.

Our track record with the position has been completely dismal. To make matters worse, even our shots in the dark are ridiculously off the mark.

The idea was to have a roster full of football fanatics in order to breed a culture in the locker room of working hard, getting better, finding better ways to do things, outworking each other, pushing each other to improve, etc. He wanted a critical mass in that direction to tip the team culture.

It was relevant, because, if you'll remember at that time, there were a lot of guys who'd recently been on that roster who didn't exactly embrace that kind of thinking. TO was a great player and a great competitor, but he didn't love the idea of 'team.' Patrick Crayton was pretty vocal about the staff. Martellus Bennett had issue with both Tony and Witten. Roy Williams, WR, was Roy Williams. Tashard Choice had a lot going on. Jay Ratliff was somewhere along his timeline of losing his marbles and faking his sports hernia.

There was a lot going on that people forget about. So Jason came in and put an emphasis on drafting team leaders who loved football and loved teams and were willing to work hard. Pretty simple.

That doesn't mean you shy away from a person like Dez Bryant, who loves football and works his *** of and travels with his own monkies and his own circus.

That doesn't mane you shy away from a guy like Ezekiel Elliott, who has tons of his own issues off the field, but who, when he comes to practice is focussed, here to play, and is a great teammate.

It doesn't mean you're looking for guys who don't spark up in the offseason. Or who don't make mistakes with supplements. Or who don't come onto your roster with pre-existing issues like Greg Hardy or Demontre Moore did. Yes, you want to limit that behavior, too, because the suspensions hurt the team, but you can see how those are two separate issues, right?

The fact that some people know better and conflate the two anyway tells you everything you need to know about their motives.

The fact that some people don't know better and conflate the two tells you everything you need to know about their attention span.

The fact that some of us know better and don't conflate the two tells you somebody's getting called a 'blind homer' for no good reason, yet again. At this point, I'm surprisingly ok with that because I consider it code for 'you don't go ape**** and start running in circles every time something happens that affects the Dallas Cowboys negatively.
 
Eli gets the ball out quickly anyway....by design. Doesn't mean we don't need to be aware of some shots downfield though esp if the pass rush is meh. LBers need to be ready for that game not just the DBs. Gonna be a lot of stuff underneath, crossing, middle and intermediate.

That's the point, we're not willing to pay for it. We're trying to build through the draft, which I get is not going so well, but its the right approach. I'm not trying to pay $17 million a year for a guy with 8 sacks like the Giants.
