DE Damontre Moore suspended for 2 games

[jwooten15]

You seriously can't even make this stuff up. We are going very playing with safeties as defensive lineman with all these suspensions

 

[visionary]

We're told how Garrett is "building this team" yet when the players get suspended "Garrett had nothing to do with their hiring it was Jerry"

Make up your mind Garrett homies, is he building this team or not?

Oh wait, I forgot, all the suspended and under performing players were picked by jerry and the others by Garrett

Good Lord are we the NFL version of Last Chance U.

The obvious answer to this is that Garrett and company are both building this team and doing it with players who sometimes get suspended. The two aren't mutually exclusive, and nobody who's ever watched a football game as suggested that they are.

 

[Verdict]

that's even worse.
they KNEW his off field transgressions and STILL signed him which is why the RKG mantra is a pure unadulterated MYTH and LIE

Yeah, this RKG stuff is a fallacy. No doubt about it. I think we would prefer RKGs but we obviously don't mean it enough not to make a risk/reward assessment and take chances here or there.

Lol. Jason Garrett's an idiot.

Totally,,( I saw this thread when it was a 2 pager)
Mr.Spock logic dictates that the elusive spy's from enemy encampments are prevalent and this is a mere league wide self gratifying circle jerk satisfaction thing,,,cuz' GARRETT'S MOBILIZING FOR WAR,and this is the quislings indirect harassment and interdiction fire landing in Our staging area,,, nothing to see here,,carry on about your business, fans.

 

[Verdict]

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.

It really doesn't matter if the things these ****tards do falls under the definition of RKG or not, really. Is Morre's suspension any less of a cluster **** whether or not it flies in the face of the RGK definition, or not? Of course not!

Quite honestly, I am sick of the NFL punishing everyone for every minor transgression. I am really against the NFL punishing a player if the legal system doesn't have enough evidence to pursue a criminal case against them. I think it makes the league look worse than letting it all go personally. It is getting very old.

Good times. Someday in the future we will be able to tell our kids we were there for that season when the entire team got suspended

 

[Nightman]

This what happens when you spend 250m on an OL

It is not a criticism, just reality.......... we have to take some chances on D

Lol!! If you can't beat em, well --

[DandyDon1722]

FFS,he is going to miss the toughest games.i am despairing at our pass rush early on,Eli will kill us .

Eh - Eli hasn't "killed" anybody for a long time. He squeaked by us last year but their offensive line is terrible and I am praying we do what Belichek did to the Giants.

On the third play from scrimmage, Beckham caught a little out and went 76 yards. Starting on the next series Belichek double teamed OBJ and put his best corner on Sheppard and completely shut them down the rest of the game. Because they employ a quick pass scheme - take away his first read and he's in trouble.

 

[Teague31]

And didn't I read somewhere that Tapper has sickle cell and won't make the Denver trip? So we will be down to what? Lawrence, Taco, mayowa and Crawford?

 

[remdak]

Cowboys need to take a stand here and release Lucky Whitehead again

 

[Melonfeud]

that's even worse.

Nay, Mon frene' but merely a counter espionage operation conducted by the commander scarlet locks,he shall now engage Phase 2 of contingency plan X,,,( when you guys gonna learn you can't stop the GARRETT? they can only try to contain him.)

That's right guy's I'm pushing ALL MY CHIPS INTO THE POT for coach Garrett and Company this SEASON,,,YOU ALL BEST JOIN THE "TEAM" AND COME ON IN FOR THE BIG WIN!

 

[zrinkill]

sigh ........... it does not even surprise me anymore

this is beyond ridiculous

#teamWKG

100% agree....the money on this team is spent on the OL and we will be competitive for years to come because of that. I am OK with it.... They've taken chances at bargains on D, whether the guy has been injured or in trouble. It may pay off, it may not. So far mostly not but there is still some time for a couple of them.

 

[Melonfeud]

Is this something the Cowboys knew about when they signed him?

Yes!

#teamWKG

Had to take chances ..no doubt. Cowboys front office knew this was pending, just wasnt front page news like Irving, Zeke........but as he shows strong enough in camp to make the 53, now eyebrows rise when he is suspended. Life will go on, just hope the kid D.Moore gets squared away and has a 5plus year good nfl career. these 2 games will then be long forgotten.
