He's going to peer into his soul.

 

[zrinkill]

I am starting to like this idea ..... only so I can say a kid who is from my neck of the woods is on the Cowboys.

 

[SDogo]

Jerry really seems to be covering all his bases with Dez. I think he is having flash backs to Moss and does not want to make that mistake again if the opportunity presents itself.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

He's going to peer into his soul.

Shows they have a little more interest in him than I expected. Guess maybe he wants to see what kind of guy he is instead of just giving a regular visit.

Interesting. At one time I would have said no way and even wondered if they had taken him off their board.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

This is worrying me a little. I hope Jerry isn't back in Pacman/Tank mode where he thinks he can singlehandedly turn these guys around.

He wouldn't forget the lesson of last year's offseason so quickly, would he?

Yeah, that's what it seems like.

We're definitely doing our homework on him...That we're this interested in him leads me to believe they think his character problems are overblown

Jerry is getting old and you know how he loves to give high draft picks for WRs.

 

[SDogo]

For those opposed the good news is if he has even a above average work out today he will be long gone before #27.

 

[Aikmaniac]

Nothing wrong with getting to know the kid. He has talent. Why not?

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

If Dez falls to the 20's, you have to take him.

Risk reward is too great.

This is smart by Jerry Jones to do his research.

Dez is such a strange case though because there is nothing but rumors out there about the guy.

Some people say he is a great guy and some say he isn't. In cases like this it is usually in-between somewhere and most likely the guy is just an immature college kid.

 

[Sonny Koufax]

I think it's a smoke screen. I don't think Jerry will replace Roy Williams, and that's what Dez Bryant would do.
I think Jerry wants peope to think we might pick Bryant, #1 to hide who we really want and #2 to make sure he's picked before us so that will push someone else down to us.
With saying all of that, I really want us to pick Dez Bryant.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. One would think that this is the guy all 32 teams would want to bring in and meet if there was interest so that they know all they can about them good or bad. So far the Cowboys are the only one to schedule a meeting.

Dez would actually replace Crayton.

If you look at both players skill set it is identical except Dez is obviously much more talented.

The scarry thing is Crayton and Romo have chemistry and who knows how a rookie will turn out.


I think the player who is going to cut into Roy Williams snaps the most this year would be Ogletree.

He had dinner with Moss too, buttered him up that he was going to be Dallas' pick if available and then he promptly took Greg Ellis.

The only flashback he should have is how he passed on an elite receiver for an average end because he was scared off by character concerns.

 

[Chief]

Dez is such a strange case though because there is nothing but rumors out there about the guy.

Some people say he is a great guy and some say he isn't.

This is the same that was said about Quincy Carter. Lacewell went on and on about the rumors, but said they did their research and couldn't find anything.

I would keep Crayton and make Ogletree and Hurd chisel their way on the roster. One of the those two might even have some trade value, if even for a late round choice. Competition would be the best thing in the world for that position. Adding a dynamic player like Bryant would be a huge win.

It would definetely help out a lot more if Les Miles was still coaching @ OSU. Then there would be no question we would have all the details.

Who needs Les Miles when he has Deion Sanders to get the real truth from?
