DMN Blog: Canty: 'There's a part of me that's always going to be a Parcells guy

[KingintheNorth]

Jason Hatcher was a 3rd round pick (Canty was a 4th). I think we will survive with a Hatcher/Bowen combo at right end. Throw in Ratliff if we land a NT. That being said if a top-rated DE starts slipping I wouldn't cry if we drafted him.


I really feel we almost have to go BPA in the draft. At pick 51 who knows who will be there. I want to add great players but maybe this team just needs to plug in "football players" at a few spots. If you look at our team, pre-Free Agency, we have 2 obvious holes and that's it. RDE and RILB. We have two pretty highly-drafted players (Hatcher and Carpenter) who maybe just maybe might prove themselves in camp. I also feel we need improved safety play and a true NT. We have Roy and Hamlin at safety and even though most of us have issues with their play, that's a lot of experience and money back there. As far as NT, I'd love to see what Ratliff could do at DE as well as see some big guy clog up the middle but Ratliff is playing his butt off at NT.

So besides RB and TE we can sit there and just take the highest guy on the draft board and improve our depth. No reaching for players or overpaying to trade up. Just take the best guy there at 51.

So to get back to the topic, no reason to overpay to keep Canty. If we wanted him, he would have been re-signed before the end of the season. Best of luck Canty.

Canty wants a Tommy Kelley contract???

HAAAAAAAAABAAAAHAAAAAAABAAAAA!!!!!!!!



No way in hell I drop that type of coin on Canty......HE AINT THAT GOOD!!!



Hey Canty, take your Tuna-loving arse down to Miami.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Wonder if there are any "Phillips" guys.

Bobby Carpenter is a Phillips guy.
Also, Corey Proctor.

and maybe Ellis.

 

[theebs]

I have said it a dozen times.

the core of this football team came up with parcells. Parcells is so strict and detail oriented that unless they are under a coach who is the same way they are going to look at him funny.

That is part of the reason there is all this locker room drama. The core guys see the rookies and the new free agents doing what they want and their being no repercussions.

Those guys are always going to look at a guy like phillips and notice something missing and say it to themselves.

I expect more guys to echo canty's statements.

I will miss canty. The team that we had in 05 and 06 that was so enjoyable for me to watch is now a memory.

I think Canty, and his agent, are in for a rude awakening come the free agency period. I can't see anyone, not even Oakland, giving him that kind of money.

He's reaching and he's reaching badly thinking he'll get that kind of money. I'll be shocked if anyone gives him that kind of money.

Looks like it's see ya later Canty. I liked you, I wish you luck, but I guess you're not going to be a Cowboy any longer.

 

[InDakWeTrust]

I am sorry but I do not see Miami signing any Dlinemen. Look at who they drafted last year Merling and Langsford, then who they signed, Fergi and Starks as well as Vonie Holiday. They will not sign a guy to stunt the growth of two of their up and comers. Canty more than likely will go to a team like SF, GB or SD if they lose Olshansky.

 

[tyke1doe]

Terrell Owens of course

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Chris, does Parcells even know who you are?

 

[BAT]

Bobby Carpenter is a Phillips guy.
Also, Corey Proctor.

and maybe Ellis.

I am really curious as to your reasoning. Neither of these guys were drafted by Wade and neither are full time players.


Seriously, how do you support this contention?

 

[Parche]

He´s joking because the ones that he´s naming are... SOFT.

Well, I dont know why he lists Ellis though...

 

[dallasfaniac]

It's a smart move on Canty's part; by connecting his name with Parcells, he is distancing himself from the PR mess that is the Dallas Cowboys. The stupid move is assuming he will get anywhere close to 7 year $50 million.

 

[dcfanatic]

If the Cowboys wanted to keep him they would have worked out a deal with him last season.

They talked again and again, but never came to an agreement on anything.

He's gone IMO.

 

[ayjackson]

I think he'll end up in Denver. They've got some line beefing up to do with a switch to the 3-4. They have a bit of room too. But nobody is going to be given Tommy Kelly money - that was the stupidest contract since Oakland signed Javon Walker. Or was the Javon Walker contract the stupidest contract since Oakland signed Tommy Kelly? I get so confused. Like Al.

don't forget DeAngelo Hall and his 60 million dollar contract.

 

[Chuck 54]

When guys enter free agency, they hold whoever might give them the most money in high regard....period. It's all about the money for all of them, which is not to say they don't love the game or play hard.

Whatever we offer DWare...imagine him receiving a offer for 1 million more from another team....then imagine him gone because he would be.

It's all about the Benjamins.

Canty isn't really saying anything about Parcells vs. Phillips....all he's saying is I want someone to value me and pay me more than I'm worth.

I see that the mods also quit administering drugs tests and saracasm/facetiousness tests.


Do you not see a common thread among those three ugly ducklings?

Underachievers. Thus they are Wade's guys.

duh!

No fair helping the feeble-minded. He will have to find his own way among we jeniuses mens.
