Did anyone catch T-New on the Michael Irvin Show today?

This thread further cements my contention that Terence Newman is similar to Jerry Jones, some folks won't fully realize his true value and what a wonderful player he is until he is gone.

I am not talking about there play. I am talking about what newman was saying today. the locker room. the practices. the chemistry. they are just as important.

Glenn's skills were eroded. Reeves and jones skill were lackluster. they did contribute to this team though. You can never have enough high character guys who work hard and have one goal in mind.

there is a reason the cowboys of the 90s started to erode when they put guys like deion sanders on the team and annoited him the savior of all their previous and future accomplishments.

take too many of these types away and add too many of the pacman type and you have a problem.

Are really placing the blame for erosion of the 90s Cowboys at the feet of Deion Sanders?

Yeah that one falls on Jerry Jones for hiring Barry Switzer and letting this team run around like a bunch of idiots kinda like he did when he was at OU.

If Jerry doesn't fire Jimmy then none of that crap happens imo.

I just listened to the radio show and Newman sounded pretty good. He didn't sugar coat anything and even said he wouldn't mind drafting another corner. I don't think he's worried about not being re-signed or losing leadership on the defense.

C'mon.

It has to be that way.... because then he can argue that Pacman is going to destroy the team....

individually no. He is a part of the overall demise of the organization though. throw in the fact that people hailed him as the reason we won a superbowl and his ego is not a good thing.

It was just a part of it. Retirements, free agency, salary cap, poor drafting and crime were the rest of it.

The issue isn't whether Newman is an elite CB - he definitely is.

The issue is can we afford to give him $80 million dollars over 8 years ala Clements/Samuel. I would say we should if we know we are going to an uncapped system. If that is not the case, we have to consider where we can get the most efficient use of our cap dollars.

I don't think CBs are difference makers in this sort of price range and would invest similar money elsewhere (LT, WR, QB, pass rusher, elite RB).

My sentiments to the letter.
