Video: Fish: “Cowboys Talking to KJ Wright”

So your answer is to sit our 2018 1st round pick.

No sir, the answer might be reduced snaps to get the best of what he has to offer. The pick has been made. the injuries have presented themselves. What dallas does at this point to save face is the real Question.

I don't think he comes for much less than $7M a season, probably why he is still sitting out there and Dallas has some pause.

We know he would not play for Seattle for a home down discount, he is on record saying that.

Oh I know it's all relative, and not saying I'd be any different, but spare me the "I have a family to provide for"?
Says the guy who's been paid $45 million dollars to play a game.

Spare me the crying about having to provide for a family...

As we have seen in past seasons, we had to use Lee and Thomas more than we should have due to injuries to our LB core. Signing Wright is a better player to add to our LB rotation that Lee and Thomas have been the past couple of seasons. He's an upgrade regardless on how Quinn wants to use them.

We wouldnt be benching anyone, we would be reducing snaps to make LBs more impactful during in game situations. Instead of playing Smith and LVE for 30-40 snaps a game you can play them 20-25. Hopefully keeping them fresh and putting them in situations to succeed.

Best we can hope for is that the surgery took care of a lingering neck problem. Not that that's a great hope, but come on, I bought a Vanderesch jersey a couple of years ago, it's hardly broken in.

Are the Cowboys still talking to KJ or have they reached 1st base yet... Somebody ask Fish for me..

He will be fine. He's one of my favorite players when he's on his game. I am in hopes we sign Wright which will allow LVE to stay healthier and prove his worth for the team as he did a couple of seasons ago.

 

[G2]

The more the merrier. Our LBers are an injury hot mess.

 

[quickccc]

It won't matter who is playing LB if the DT's either can't or won't (shoot gaps, no run integrity) control their gaps.

Marinelli has brainwashed far too many.

+1
and I still don't get how we haven't seem past Marinelli's Ghosts of Xmas past and influence.

I thought after we went after hulky- bulky Dontarius Poe that may have finally changed not only the 1 tech size dynamics, but also more of a stronger emphasis on
acquiring quality bigger run stuffing 1 techs, whether FA, draft or trade.

We'll have to see if there's still a possibility o more off that acquisition this offseason.
Or is the club now content with another round of Chris Covington, Antuann Woods type possibilities 1 techs ?

they already sit him more than Jaylon, so it isn't much of a stretch.

 

[quickccc]

Not only would bringing in KJ Wright stamp a good, proven player, but that's also a chance to stamp a potential leader of the defense.

 

[dagreat1_87]

20 pages and the most we got so far is he wants 2 years and cowboys want 1... that about it?

 

[CWR]

If he's not performing hell yes he can sit. There's always been way too much entitlement on the modern Cowboy teams anyways. Play the best players.

We need to just give him 2 years then. Geesh these guys hate resolving a need for more than one season at a time.

Injury has sidelined Vander Esch, not the team. Your obvious hate for the guy poisons your perspective.

I don’t have a problem with that, but you don’t intentionally sit them either. It’s not like LVE has played poorly, but that he’s been hurt.

I don't hate the guy. If you look at the snap counts for LVE and Jaylon, tell me which one comes off the field. The team is obviously much more enamored with Jaylon then they are with LVE. When LVE is healthy, he is the one coming off the field.

For as bad as Jaylon played last year, he still graded out higher than LVE per PFF. As much crap as Jaylon deservedly gets, it seems LVE hasn't received his rightful share.

jaylon got paid is the only reason.I think LVE is better than Jaylon if and thats a big if he could stay healthy. That said LVE isnt a top tier LB either or LB corps suck which is why i want to see Parsons in a cowboy uniform next year

Or that PFF isn’t the end-all, be-all that done people think?

Just because the team MAKES a decision doesn’t make it the RIGHT one. Look no further than Jaylon’s contract extension.
