or that JJ/Wade can't change . . . .

When you look back and see the roster and coaching staff changes on this team from just one year:

B Stewart - a lot of people thought Wade would keep him in some capacity due to loyalty.
B Read - o.k. this was a given

TO - Many thought JJ would keep him for 1 more year.
Ellis - A mainstay on the Cowboys defense for quite some time.
Henry - Staff decided to go with the young CBs and cut ties.
R Williams - Perhaps the most difficult cut for JJ this season.

PacMan - This was a given.
Tank - Ditto for Tank.
B Johnson - Mistake keeping him on the roster last year.

By all accounts, this is quite a turnover and roster overhaul of several established veterans. And to top it off, the Cowboys draft 12 rookies.

It seems like a long time since we've slashed so many "established" vets to try to improve the roster in earnest.

None of them will be missed

These guys need to go next:

Bobby Carpenter
Pat Watkins
Cory Proctor
Pat McQuistan


On the bubble:

Courtney Brown
Isaiah Stanback


I'm so enjoying watching these overrated players get the boot. The field and the locker room is being cleaned up.

it would appear that Jerry has learned a thing or two, just by cleaning house.Lets hope he doesnt forget this lesson, by making the same mistakes again.
