Eric Berry visits Tuesday

[KingintheNorth]

I am just not sure about his physical well being. The dude has been through a lot.

You dare question the Cowboys Front Office and medical staff?

How have you not been kicked off this board yet?

 

[cowboyblue22]

they say he has something wrong with his heal and its chronic

 

[speedkilz88]

Doesnt he have a chronic heel problem?

Yes, but his doctor claims he can play through it. It's actually on the upper end in back above the heel. (not the bottom of the heel) Other players have played through it as well.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

He tore his Achilles. I know that.

We seem to be looking for those types this year. Somebody tell Kevin Smith to make a comeback.

Smith tore his achilles in 1995 but came back okay from that. It was back issues that ended his career.

Of course, the fact we're discussing the Cowboys secondary of the late 1990's pretty much sums up the current safety situation, doesn't it?

Oh no. Our staff is impeccable. And when Jerry views the X-rays, the deal is sealed.

 

[KingintheNorth]

8 games from Berry and 8 games from Geathers beats 16 games of Heath. Heath needs to be a sub-package guy and special teamer.

I'd even take 6 games of Berry, 6 games of Geathers. and 4 where we only play 10 guys over ever having to see Jeff Heath play another down.

It's a defect where the bone presses up against the achilles. But I have read that rest is the best option and eventually the achilles will "adapt" to the defect and Berry should be able to keep playing without having surgery.

 

[JBond]

Absolute waste of time and resources. He requires surgery and refuses to get it. He refused to play last year and bone spurs rubbing against the achilles do not heal themselves. I live in KC and listened to the day-to-day drama all season. He played less than 5 games the last two years combined.

Regarding KC, and this deserves a separate thread, but would you take two firsts for Dlaw? I sure would. In a heartbeat. It is being floated in the media here by "insiders".

 

[JBS]

Yes, but his doctor claims he can play through it. It's actually on the upper end in back above the heel. (not the bottom of the heel) Other players have played through it as well.

He probably just needs an afo brace

 

[Beaker42]

Thought we had no interest. I hate the FA game.

Mods please delete, duplicate thread. Thanks!

 

[Corso]

It's So hard to draft when you don't have any holes to fill..I typically watch the entite draft, I think I'll LARP this year instead

Lol... LARP.
Now that's something I haven't heard about in a long, long time.

Imagine how disrespected Woods must feel now .

Lol

I think this is a bit extreme..do you know how many starting safeties in the entire nfl can make that play on Goff that heath made in the playoff game? The bootleg play where Goff kept it

 

[JBond]

Why bother? The Cowboys aren't going to sign this guy. Some other team will offer him 3-4 years between 30-45 million.

Nope. Why would they sign an injured player that refuses to play?

 

[speedkilz88]

Lol

Berry at least is a SS. Woods didn't like bringing in Earl to play FS.

I could be wrong, but I think I've read that the safeties in this scheme are basically interchangeable parts. Woods and Thomas could have started together.

Regardless, like you said, if the Cowboys get Berry he's the SS and Woods' spot is safe.

I think he would have, but he was intimating that they had plans to replace him with Earl.

If that is the case I am going to require some trampoline videos ASAP.
