Signed by Cowboys Durant signs with Dallas

[NeonNinja]

A solid move.

You maximize Sean Lee's intelligence and instincts playing him in the middle where he can roam sideline to sideline.

That's all nice until you factor in how delicate Lee is. It's not a coincidence he played the whole season being shielded. He has far more freedom to roam in this scheme as the Will than the Mike.

Since Marinelli refuses to get a big NT to clog the middle, that is probably where he stays.

I can live with it given our present situation. Certainly can't hurt.

Bro please don't use the word hurt when talking about Durant and this LB unit

 

[Bowdown27]

Nice pick up. More depth which is needed. Just hope our dline steps up for first 4 games. Some new faces who can make an impact

 

[iceberg]

Everyone look at the homer.

No touching or feeding.

ok, that was funny.

 

[Joe Realist]

good move. next, sign a DE - Mincey was a thread a saw last week?

We'll never have a big NT in this defense but we do have a better 1 tech now.

And despite the fact I agree with you the rush defense had problems at times and Hayden is at best a marginal starter, we were 16th in D last year and only gave up 172 first downs* and an average of 4.2 YPA via the rush. That's not too bad considering the pass defense was 31 out of 32.

It's not about freedom to roam. It's about positioning him on the field where he can make plays on both sides of the field.

I don't care about the injury thing. He's either going to stay healthy or he isn't. Playing him at OLB or ILB doesn't change that.

Never shoulda let Ware go.

Alright then, when he misses 12 games, enjoy it.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Not sure if he's ever played a full 16 games.

Just one time. 2012 with Detroit.

Ware played DE.

 

[Cowboy06]

Hitchens - Durant - Lee is serviceable.

Wilson and Nzeocha have a 10-game audition until Rolando returns.

Wilber and Gachkar are 0's to me.

What happened to Kyle Wilber? I really had high hopes for him.

 

[Cowboy06]

lol...I was all excited...and then BOOM....nothing...what a wild roller coaster of a post....

Preach sir, preach! I keep thinking even a slightly better player in some core positions would pay dividends. Then again you could call me Captain Obvious

 

[jday]

This is one of those times where it sucks we're on the Internet and not in person to throw our hand in for a Go Cowboys! on 3.

Can't pass out kool-aid either. Virtual conversations do have their drawbacks...

 

[Manwiththeplan]

What's Golden State gonna do now?

I was hoping I could have made the first Kevin Durant joke....

I liked it because you reported breaking news not because I'm doing cartwheels cross the floor.....forgive me Johnny Rivers.

Excellent move that at the very least provides high quality lb depth. A no brainer without Mcclain and should make everyone feel better about the lb position.
