interesting stuff right there.

i know roy likes to unload....but come on....these are your teammates! we all know you can hit hard, roy! save it for sunday! for your health as well as the offense!

Really...I would just love to see the reactions around here if Williams layed the Wood to Witten and hurt him and he was out for awhile.

I agree with you...Roy DOES need to cut down on the wood...he did the same thing during the first week of training camp to another players (I forgot who), and at that time I posted that he needs to back off just a tad...

Hey, he can "love tap" a player now and then, but, man, don't try and hit an defenseless player...unless it's the other teams player...

It would really suck if Roy would have injured Fasano...

What reason does Henson have to not ask for a release?

Bledsoe and Romo in front and Parcells taking away valuable practice and playing time in the preseason. This helps him how?

Ask for a release and get on a team that will at least give him a chance. I want him to stay because I'm a Cowboy fan, but I don't see why this is what's best for Henson. This treatment might be good for him if he was a true 3rd year guy but he's older and doesn't have time to wait until he's 32 to have a chance to start which is the pace BP has him on track for.

It would be interesting to know what BP has said to him.

I feel for Henson, but, he wasted a few years in baseball (baseball sucks), and he bailed out...

I think that's part of the reason that Parcells is doing what he's doing by thinking that he's a quitter, or Parcells is doing it because he just does not like an athlete that comes from another sport to play a very physical game like football...

But, what do I know...nothing!

 

[WoodysGirl]

Wow WG, first time I've met that side of you.

Not whining at all. Stating an opinion. This is an opinion board, no?

of course it is... that's why we're all here, right?

My opinion is that Bill Parcells has gone out of his way to make Henson's life miserable for a while now.

There are either 2 reasons that I can see.

1. He is trying to push some buttons to see if he can spark something in a player (Henson) that he hasn't been able to get out of him yet.

2. He genuinely doesn't want him around.

I'm simply saying if it is #2, then cut the kid some slack by giving him a chance somewhere else. Let him go.

That's a much more reasonable response than the "Parcells is a jerk" post you just spouted. Cuz it really did come off as whining cuz he gave one guy some props and he didn't give your guy any.

Is it that big a deal for Henson to not get any reps during the 7-on-7 for this practice? Not to me it isn't. Maybe he's giving the guy some extra time to see what he has since he was just brought in last week... Maybe he's trying to prep this guy for the next preseason game? There are all sorts of reasons why Henson didn't do any 7-on-7 for this ONE practice.

But to just say, Parcells is a jerk because he didn't let him participate in this ONE drill? That just seems childish to me.

I don't see the need for this pity party. He signed a very decent contract, considering his circumstance. He's either got it, or he doesn't. In any case, he is under contract with this team, and unless the offer was spectacular to let him go elsewhere, why waste all the investment we've been making the past two years? Makes absolutely no sense to the team.

 

[sacase]

He is just getting ready for the real deal and breaking a rookie into the NFL

Hasn't he popped him more than once?

 

[jazzcat22]

I believe the f-back is more of a tight end fullback hybrid yet unlike the h-back the f-backs role relies more on lining up in the backfieild and moving around in motion and such to be a blocker, yet not really a ball carrier.

Its sort of a combination of h-back and fullback..

actually i dont really think im on the right track either. i have no clue

Check out this site, it will explain it.

Here is an article on F-back. Sounds like its just some guy who can move around and do all kinds of crap.

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/chronicle/archive/2006/08/01/SPGEAK90961.DTL

Mix of fullback, tight end, running back and wide receiver.

Well, to be honest, I don't care if you think it is childish or not. I think Parcells has acted like a jerk many times, not just with Henson. I'll say it again (acting out my childish tendencies ) Bill Parcells is a jerk, many times.

And.... Henson is not MY guy. He is a Dallas Cowboys QB who I still happen to think has some promise. I just don't see how Parcells handling of him helps him along. My opinion, you don't have to agree with it, and I'm quite certain from your reaction to my post that you don't.

Why would you be preparing Matt Baker for a pre-season game when your #3 QB didn't get a single snap in the last one?

Cmon, it isn't just me, there are lots of people who don't have any personal interest in Henson succeeding who think Parcells has gone out of his way to either tweak Henson or Jerry Jones depending upon your angle.

I'm saying, isn't it time that the head coach makes his mind up? You will probably say no, I say yes. My OPINION is that if you think Henson has a future with the team, INVEST in him beyond money. Let him get work. If you don't, CUT HIM LOOSE.

Because if I were a betting person I would lay a bet with anyone on here that he will be taken by another NFL team pretty darn quickly.

My opinion, on this here opinion board, no whine with my cheese please.

I don't know what is up with the situation with Henson, but, just like the Crank/Hutch stuff...I'm almost getting to the point that I wish Henson would get out of here, if for nothing else, to stop all this silly nonsense about "how come Parcells won't play Henson"?

It's getting really old...just like the other two baseball players!

 

[WoodysGirl]

Well, to be honest, I don't care if you think it is childish or not. I think Parcells has acted like a jerk many times, not just with Henson.

If you didn't care, then why'd you respond? C'mon we all care about others opinions on this board otherwise we wouldn't be on this board. Everybody knows Parcells is a jerk. When is he not? But I don't recall you throwing out a post about him being a jerk when he roasted Glenn for sitting out practice the other day, did you? Nope, today he's being a jerk, because Henson didn't take any reps during ONE drill.

And.... Henson is not MY guy. He is a Dallas Cowboys QB who I still happen to think has some promise. I just don't see how Parcells handling of him helps him along. My opinion, you don't have to agree with it, and I'm quite certain from your reaction to my post that you don't.

You haven't actually SEEN how he's handled Henson's development, so who's to say that he's not bringing him along the right way. We saw nothing worth truly mentioning of Romo for four years, and he seemed to do ok. I have a little bit more faith that Parcells knows what he's doing w/Henson than you. That's the difference I see in our opinions.

Why would you be preparing Matt Baker for a pre-season game when your #3 QB didn't get a single snap in the last one?

Granted that's a lil far-fetched, but he could get a snap or two in garbage time in this game. But then it could be like I also mentioned see what he could do in this particular drill to see if he's learned enough to even get that. Considering all he's run up to this point is scout team. So how does Henson not getting in this one drill make Parcell's a jerk?

Cmon, it isn't just me, there are lots of people who don't have any personal interest in Henson succeeding who think Parcells has gone out of his way to either tweak Henson or Jerry Jones depending upon your angle.

No it's just not you who believe that, but I also see many people who want both young QBs to succeed, because it only helps the team. I'm just not into conspiracy theories regarding the QB position.

I'm saying, isn't it time that the head coach makes his mind up? You will probably say no, I say yes. My OPINION is that if you think Henson has a future with the team, INVEST in him beyond money. Let him get work. If you don't, CUT HIM LOOSE.

Why should he make a decision now? It's only been two years, why should we cut him loose? It took four years for people to even think Romo might be a viable QB option. So why shouldn't it take Henson a similar timeframe to succeed after four years away from football? Patience is a virtue mi amigo.

Because if I were a betting person I would lay a bet with anyone on here that he will be taken by another NFL team pretty darn quickly.

I think so, too...as a 3rd QB, which is what he already is on this team.

My opinion, on this here opinion board, no whine with my cheese please.

At least not with this post...

Couldn't agree more. Don't see any point in not playing him at all in a preason game and then not letting him play in the 7 on 7 drills.

How is he supposed to learn? You only can learn so much by carrying a clipboard...He's not going to learn by osmosis.

And then this crap with Baker...

Anyone ever see that baseball movie with Robert Redford called the natural ? If you did, remember the manager of the team didn't want Roy Hobbs on his team, refused to play him and wouldn't even let him take batting practice on days off.

Thats kinda of how I see the Henson situation with BP. Jerry Jones or someone in the front office wants Henson on the team, BP wants no part of it...So he just doesn't even take notice of him.

When Henson did well in NFLE BP said something was missing, just didn't explain what...lol. Henson is just a power game for BP.

So, its either that or Henson has a red nose and isn't allowed to take part in reindeer games.

I know its one of the 2 !

I have to agree because if Parcells really does like him he has the absolute Gawd darnedest way of showing it.

If Henson does get cut, who do you think would pick him up ? The Skins ?

LOL... Great analogy. Can't believe no one has mentioned that one before.

Im going to say he would take the next step in fulfilling Hutchinson prophecy by being signed by the Bears.

I just said the Skins because Snyder would love to stick that dagger into JJ, if Henson ever panned out.
