News: ESPN: Claiborne demoted, skips walk-through

[NorthwestDallas40]

Just watching the Rams-Cowboys replay and Mo got burnt for the 50 yard TD by Brian Quick... MmmHmm

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Was there a question to go with those marks?

I had the same response, though. His whole contract was guaranteed? What the what?

Of course he was the best prospect since Deion, so...

 

[Galian Beast]

They should have tried trading him before the demotion, Cowboys devalued him after a game they could have talked him up (game saving INT). Nothing to be done about that now but a trade is in best interests for all parties, just can't believe how poorly Cowboys come out in player trades past 20 years.

Front office has never been able to get value for players. So many players that we just let go rather than trading. We didn't trade Austin, Ware, Hatcher, Bennett, Orton, Newman e.t.c.

 

[Daillest88]

Not to derail anything, but Tina Fey is so darn sexy...

Yea smart and sexy look... Mo sucks

 

[Dave_in-NC]

What circus? He was asked a question and responded. If Mo is that sensitive he can't play corner in the NFL.

My response would have been the coaching staff will play who they see fit. Have you ever seen Jerry respond that way?
Yeah yeah it's his team I get it.

 

[Corso]

Better than being wrong. Seriously starting to think a group of five of us on CZ would do a better job than Jerry Jones.

Who's that five?
Never mind. I already know.

Can I start calling you guys the "Get-Along Gang?".
How about- "The Feel-Good Kids"?

I like that...
That might stick.

 

[Galian Beast]

I had the same response, though. His whole contract was guaranteed? What the what?

Contracts are capped out, so I'm not sure why they would feel compelled to guarantee his whole contract. Or was this before the CBA, I can't recall.

Damn I hate to hear that. If anybody gets injured it's gonna put Claiborne back into the starting lineup. And how do you think he's gonna feel knowing it's only because the guy ahead of him is hurt? He's gonna be passed off and unmotivated. I.e. Mike Jenkins his last year here

Instead of auditioning for another team? Yeah, I guess the lack of intelligence rumors are true.

 

[Alexander]

Whose defending him, though?

The defense of his constant "injuries" and his poor play has been going on a very long while.

Now suddenly it is "who is defending him"?

 

[RS12]

Dumb move by Claiborne.

Hum, I wonder why?

 

[rcaldw]

Ever heard of a guy named Charlie Waters? The guy got torched at corner for a few seasons. Charlie Taylor LOVED facing Charlie Waters. Landry moved Waters to safety and was an All-Pro. Not suggesting a position change for Claiborne, but just saying I would be slow to conclude he can't play.

 

[Dave_in-NC]

Front office has never been able to get value for players. So many players that we just let go rather than trading. We didn't trade Austin, Ware, Hatcher, Bennett, Orton, Newman e.t.c.

Yet the front office never points their finger at themselves.

 

[yentl911]

Until you have a link, it's a rumor. So far, haven't seen a thing on twitter about it.

This news is out everywhere. Not a rumor.

You can't trade a guy who's getting burned all over the field.

 

[Section446]

Man, the sheep won't like this.

 

[yimyammer]

Was there a question to go with those marks?

my acronym got censored, it was more of a comment.."what the ****?!?!?!" I'll assume you can fill in the blanks

 

[stilltheguru]

No, I would let him play because (a) He's still young (b) He's coming off a good camp (c) He's coming off some injury issues following the good camp (d) You have invested a #6 overall in the guy (e) YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH THE SAME THING WITH SUBSTITUTIONS in a game without PUBLICLY killing what confidence he has left. That's how I think they should have dealt with it. Just play him fewer snaps and pick where you want to put him in as the game goes on.

If Jerry can kill his confidence what does that tell you? You guys are crazy. Lol speaking on Mo like he's a 7th grader that got benched.

 

[rcaldw]

I will be impressed (I'm including myself in this, so not picking on Zordon), when we all come in here and trumpet our wrong opinions as loudly as we do our correct ones.

I believed in Drew Henson.... there, I said it

 

[slick325]

I root for Mo and hope he gets his head on straight, channels his anger and competes his tail off in practice and games. Respond to the competition...channel the anger you have toward the coaches and excel. Hell with being cool with the coaches...ball out to prove them wrong and don't talk to them. Lol! I've done it before and it works...

 

[WoodysGirl]

Most people aren't getting paid millions to play a game either. He's a little b word.

He's still human. I don't care whether you're getting paid $5 or $5million. Nobody likes being called out by their boss in public, especially when you know you're sucking at your job.

Having a moment is one thing. Having a sustained tantrum is another. Story's yet to be told on what Mo will do.
