Frederick 6-8 weeks away

[Zordon]

2019 - Fred back, post-surgery Tyron, C-Will 15lbs heavier, Irving back on a prove-it-deal, Earl roaming the backfield, Richard takeover, new OC & QB coach....next year is setting up to be THE year.

According to Jeff Cavanaugh, Fredrick informed them he does not expect to play this year, but feels good about being back next year. On Twitter, no idea how to copy it here though

Rallying point to make the Super Bowl. Lets win this one so Fredbeard can suit up this year.

 

[Kolemmitt]

I know I shouldn't be looking past 2018, but I could see things really coming together for us next year.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

I'm fine with that. Whatever we do, don't rush him and create a setback.

bingo, he will be back next year

draft a catching TE and cut Rico

Looney has been good enough to be starter at least at LG next year IMO...try to fit this guy in the top 5

draft a catching TE and cut Rico

Maybe a good offensive coach will know how to use Rico. The current coaches sure don’t use him well. He is the best blocking TE on the team over the last few games. I don’t know about pass catching. They won’t call plays for him to catch the ball.

Our Oline has grown this season and will be so much better nest year.I was thinking drafting a center.

What?? We have the worst OL in the NFL, in terms of pass protection (more important than run blocking)... most sacks allowed in the NFL. Looney and Collins suck, as does backup LT and the LG spot.

But... DeMarcus Lawrence on the Eagles or the Jets or something. So, nope.

If Fredbeard decides not to come back next year (or if he comes back but can't start), I say draft another center but..... not in the second round.. The later rounds should be just fine..

 

[Cowboy Brian]

So, possibly a return for the divisional round if we make it.

Disagree there...

He is an all-pro C.

Replacing him with a player of similar quality is not going to be an easy task.

I'm not denying he's an all pro C.. I'm thankful we got him on our team... He's awesome. I just think we can use the 2nd round pick for a better position of need... Surely we may even be able to find someone of equal or similar quality in free agency.. I (myself) have never been a fan of drafting a center. I would rather have someone NFL experienced. I think you have better chances of an experienced center protecting Dak.. Nothing against Looney but it looks like he's getting pushed around a little too much for my taste...

 

[dwreck27]

and....do we need to draft a Center?

I would... looney is gonna be due for a pay day

 

[Chrispierce]

That’s good news. He’ll be back for next year then.

Dallas Cowboys Pro Bowl center Travis Frederick, who has been sidelined since the start of the season with Guillian-Barre Syndrome, essentially confirmed on Tuesday what the front office had earlier suggested ... he's not expecting to return to the playing field at all in 2018.
"I'm not sure I'm going to play football this year,'' said Frederick, who began dealing with the rate illness at training camp and provided an update on Tuesday night via a 105.3 The Fan appearance here at The Star in Frisco. "But I feel good about the direction I'm going.''

Frederick recently started to have the sensation return to his fingers, and that is an optimistic sign. But more time is needed for the hoped-for full recovery and a possible return next season. And an "I'll be back'' attitude is clearly part of his agenda.

"Everyone's been on a very close watch on the progress I've made - and I have made progress,'' he said. "(But) even if I was 100-percent good strength-wise, I'd still (be) eight weeks out.''

Biggest thing I hear is there is at least a future for him in 2019

Great. Gaining his health back is #1 priority. As much as I liked seeing him on the sideline with the booths (like a coach), he is a great guy and still got a lot left in him for the game. So, I deep down wish him great luck to be able to get back on where he belongs to.

 

[Tabascocat]

He will be good to go for the Summer camps

 

[Batman1980]

Sounds like he still hasn’t fully regained feeling in his feet and has a little tingling in his fingers. I hope he’s better next year. If not he should retire and really focus on his health.

Cowboys C Travis Frederick (illness, injured reserve) says he feels good about playing in 2019.

Frederick doesn't expect to return this season, but his positivity going into next season is certainly good news for him and the Cowboys. Frederick was diagnosed with a rare auto-immune disease called Guillan Barre Syndrome in August of this year.
