Twitter: Gerald McCoy Injured - out for season **merged**

[OmerV]

SHOULD we call Michael Bennett??? See if he's willing to unretire?

Problem is he would really only be an option at DT on clear passing downs. McCoy is an all around DT.

 

[America's Cowboy]

He's something like 257 lbs.

Yes, around 260. Cowboys need to get someone else who can plug in the inside even as a backup. Dontari Poe is still on PUP. This might get ugly quickly.

MARGUS HUNT, BRANDON MEBANE AND SNACKS ARE AVAILABLE. ALL over 30. Hunt might be a guy we take a look at. Snacks is kinda retired.

I was having a great day till I got on here and saw this. Man this suxxx...no bueno por nada

 

[OmerV]

This stinks but I can hear the anti-Dak crowd saying that this brings us one step closer to getting Lawrence. I hope Gillmore, Hill, Woods, Crawford, Poe, etc, can step up now.

The thing is, while this does hurt, the Cowboys are still better across the D-Line than a year ago with the additions of Poe and Griffen.

Reminder: Eagles won the Super Bowl without their starting QB and starting LT. The 2 most important positions in football.

To be fair, their starter has never proven a thing in this league and their backup was better. This was also proven true the very next year when Foles saved their season again and had them almost in the NFC title game.

Antwan Woods...the gift that keeps on giving.

He's an idiot.

Sadly I knew things were going too well. Never fails.

I understand. I was just going to be happy that finally this year we would be more than solid and talented at that spot. Irving come on back. Lol.

Every time I see or hear Irving's name....I just think about what he could've been. He and Gregory really could've solidified this line. Irving was such a young player but looked like a man among boys when he was out there.

 

[Doomsday101]

Right now we will be counting on Crawford, Hill and "rookie" Gallimore

 

[Rockport]

And just like that, the hopes for a great defense go down the tubes.

The fragility of football.

I've never seen so many quitters than I have among CZ posters.

I know. A young player that could totally take over a game. But would rather smoke. Now he smoke and just pay a fine. MM should think about it..

This sucks for McCoy and the Cowboys, obviously.

He never has played a down for Dallas and possibly never will.

We added 4-5 players this offseason that were expected to play a lot of downs on the Dline.
He was one of them
The D-line has still been upgraded with Poe, Aldon Smith, Griffen, and possibly Gallimore.

Look forward

I'm shocked he hasn't been given a shot by someone.........

 

[HanD]

The word on Irving’s interest in returning comes from Jay Glazer who stated in a recent mailbag column that Irving had already called him and could be the next Aldon Smith, another suspended player given a chance to return.

The obvious angle for Irving’s comeback, if there is one, would be with the Dallas Cowboys, the very team that employed him for the majority of his NFL career. However, check out these words on his very exit from the team in the first place.

“(Then-)coach (Jason) Garrett told me I should just stop playing and to smoke all the tfweed I wanted because the team didn’t need me anymore,” Irving said. “It was pretty clear they were done with me.”

It’s very possible owner Jerry Jones and his staff could mend fences with Irving, if they so desired, given that Jason Garrett has been replaced by new head coach Mike McCarthy. That said, the door could be wide open for any team who wants to take a chance.


Last thing I could find on him....that's from a KC Chiefs site.

 

[TheFinisher]

This sucks

Gallimore and Hill need to step up.

But this sucks.

Always wanted McCoy on the Cowboys since his OU days. I wasn’t expecting him to be an All-Pro here, but I thought he still had something left in the tank. Was really looking forward to seeing that group play together. This sounds like a pretty serious injury and given his age you wonder if it’s career ending.

 

[AKATheRake]

Its like Ty craw made a pact with the devil or something. Word on twitter it's an acl. But nothing official.

The man just has staying power here. It just is what it is.

 

[Stash]

I'm shocked he hasn't been given a shot by someone.........

He would have to actually care about playing football.
