Eatman: Cowboys Have Interest in Tank Johnson

[justbob]

If he moves to Texas, he'd probably just buy and drive around in a "Tank".

Get it? Tank? Hehe.


That's another thing I didn't think of... Tank Johnson - gun lover - living in Texas? The dude would be strapped while on the practice field.

But he and davis would be on the same side of the ball and behindTank
-less likey to get shot

 

[Zimmy Lives]

A guy who has a thing for guns on the same team with the Bullet Magnet (Aka Keith "Killer" Davis)?


That's a recipe for disaster.

Maybe not.

Roy can take him to his church and introduce him to Jesus the way he did Killa.

If Dallas signs Johnson the season goes down the Tank.

 

[justbob]

If Dallas signs Johnson the season goes down the Tank.

That is really bad

 

[Zimmy Lives]

That is really bad

Sorry, couldn't help myself. :

I still think it's a bad idea to sign the guy but Jerrah knows best.

 

[Deep_Freeze]

Terry Glenn pees outside.

Marcus Spears has stolen a couple million dollars from his employer.

The list goes on.

:laugh2: Spears has stolen more than a couple...

Did I miss something about Terry peeing outside....bet I did.

I say we sign Tank, and we don't wait too late til someone else gets him, especially if we don't have to cut anyone til we activate him (if true). Guns and Texas are a match made in heaven.

 

[dogunwo]

In order to sign Tank, they'd have to release someone...Who would that be now that Ayodele is on board?

It's not gonna happen.

they could release ayodele, lol

 

[WV Cowboy]

Yep, I'd say this has Cowboys written all over it. He is truly has that Cowboy character. Better you than us. I'm surprised you haven't gone after Keyshawn Johnson again. Now he was a perfect fit and you gave up Galloway to get him. Real smart move I might add.

Yea, we're quite pleased with all that your organization has done in recent years too.

:laugh2: :laugh2:

 

[hockix]

If Tank is in good shape and can help the team...
Just sign him with some clauses....

Than we could play Ratliff at Spears's place....

...Marcus Spears has stolen a couple million dollars from his employer....

Jones can keep an eye on his investisments .....

"Statistically, 50 % of Texans own guns, and 40 % of gun owners own more than 1 gun."

This doesn't include the ones that are unregistered.

I personally know some good law abiding citizens that refuse to register their guns, in fear of a government ban. (such as England, Australia)

I don't think Tank is a good fit here, but I would guess there are a lot of Texans that wouldn't hold the gun charge against him.

A short term deal for 8 games -with all kinds of incentives ----I think it would be worth a "shot" ...especialy if we are making a run at the play-offs--
And I normally say NO to any player with character issues

The Davis thing was funny, but that was beyond awful. :

Me too, and probably more so for selfish reasons. (not to mention the other issues it would cause)

With all of the off the field problems we had in th 90's, the Cowboy's were wrongly given a "Team of Criminals" stereotype.

I have heard this so many times it's sickening. Especially when explaining "I'm not a Cowboy fan anymore because _____ ."

If I have to hear this any more, I might become a criminal myself!


I do admit he does have talent that could help this team, but a what cost?

 

[iceberg]

Nah man if you think hes scum then say it loud. you cna never be wrong for having an opinion.Now i may be wrong in saying this but hes only had issues with owning guns but not for threatening people with them or the like or has he done more?

in all honestly i didn't know a lot about him until i went looking for the link you just *had to have*. yes he's screwed up and hes he's paid the price. i felt bad chicago cut him and then he was found to be "Under" the legal limit.

of course that just spawned a debate over how bad the legal limit really is, but that's another story.

he seems to want to turn it around and we need the help. sometimes jones just needs to throw calvin watkins a harder case to keep him busy.

if he signs he signs and we'll hope. i learned from TO not everything is as it seems regardless of what it may look like.

Don't ---crime doesn't pay unless you where a pre Goodell(what ever the commishs name is) football player

Did you mean Calvin Hill, Iceberg? If so, you're right. That guy needs to prove he deserves a paycheck.

yea, sorry. i can't be held accountable for anything i say till after 11am in most circumstances.

damn sleep apnea.

Sean Taylor - enough said!

 

[aikemirv]

I think when the time comes Tank Johnson will be signed by the Cowboys but until then we will let Remi Adoyle become a "Monster" on our defense.

If you are going to sign him, you do it now. Release Remi for a day and sign Tank and put him on the reserve/suspended list, then sign Remi back.

Remi's least value is right now if he plays decently in the next few weeks. If you have another injury on the Dline you might want to move Ratliff back to DE and keep Remi for sub NT when Tank was ready to go.

COWBOYS CONSIDERING TANK by Michael David Smith

The news this morning (scroll down) that former Bears defensive tackle Tank Johnson will be off suspension and eligible to return after Week Eight could be particularly relevant to the Cowboys.

Todd Archer and Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News are reporting that Johnson's name has come up in discussions about how to deal with the loss of nose tackle Jason Ferguson, who suffered a torn right biceps in the season opener and was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

The Cowboys would not say whether they had talked to Johnson, and Jerrold Colton, Johnson's agent, likewise would not comment on whether any teams have expressed interest.

It's been widely reported that prior to the 2004 draft, when the Bears chose Johnson in the second round, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was enamored with Johnson's talent. However, all of Johnson's experience is as a 4-3 defensive tackle, so he might not be a great fit to replace a 3-4 nose tackle like Ferguson.

We can probably expect some commentary on ESPN this weekend from former Cowboy Emmitt Smith about how well Tank Williams would fit in Dallas.
