Let's just go ahead and cut everyone that messes up on a play or screws up, here's the list of guys I've heard we should cut. Dunbar, Free, Lucky, Williams, Escobar, Carr, Wilcox, Church, Claibourne, am I missing anyone. We really want to cut these guys? Stop with the cut this guy cut that guy, luckily Jason Garrett isn't dumb and impulsive like most couch fans are.
I wish fans would stop viewing these players as robots. They don't take into account the relationships these players/coaches have with Lucky. When Dez says this team is a "family", people need to realize what that really means. You don't go cutting off family b/c of one mistake. If Garrett were to do that, I guarantee you it would cause more problems than him keeping Lucky on the team. Lucky might not contribute much on the field, but from what I've read he's the funniest player on the team and a big part of the chemistry behind the scenes. Anybody who's played sports knows you need these types of guys around to maintain harmony and a light atmosphere in the locker room, everybody can't be Jason Witten.

Jimmy Johnson would of cut him to make a example. Don't take it as a Garrett bash.
Myth. Jimmy cut a guy who was never going to get any real action in games and isn't integral to a lot of what the team does. This would be more like cutting Vincent Mayle to send a message.

The legend and deification of Jimmy Johnson continues to grow and grow every year.

Perspective...great point! 100% agree!

If I was the Cowboys or any other pro sports team, I'd have a person to monitor all the players social media. These guys tell on themselves a lot and also you can stop a wildfire if you catch it fast enough.

I don't understand why everyone who ties their shoes wants to make a social media post about it.

They probably do have such a person(s).

Disappointing. I watched Lucky play when he was in HS. Thought he had the physical talent to make it in the NFL. I guess he doesn't have the mental side down.

Maybe we can get the CB (Dax Swanson) from TC to return kicks and punts. He showed some return skills during preseason.

I wouldn't be surprised if Taylor Stern is the one that monitors social media of the players.

Sounde like he's basking in the Cowboys spotlight a little too much and taking it for granted.

Dunbar was quick, not fast. 4.5 vs. 4.3 is huge difference especially on a stretch play designed to take advantage of pure speed.

Even so, not seeing Dunbar's old explosiveness this season.

Dunbar's nickname in my house is snow flake. A gust of wind will knock him to the ground.

I guess we know whose roster spot Darren McFadden is taking next week. They have to make a decision on Mcfadden's roster spot on Monday.

DMac should be active and he should get some carries the last four games. He's got VERY fresh legs and can take some of the load off Zeke. I'd like to keep Zeke fresh for the playoff push. It's a luxury having DMac and Morris behind Zeke. We need to use it at this point.

You know, Pat Kirwan was on the radio talking about how Garrett might want to keep the team on edge, and disciplining a non-descript player was an example that was brought up.

Wonder if that's part of what's behind this. Kinda Jimmy-like.
