Gerald Sensabaugh to sign 1-yr deal *merged*

[ethiostar]

Sorry if i missed it but did he sign already?

No one has any business carrying an AK-47, unless they are in Iraq or Afghanistan. It has NO positive use in society whatsoever. We are asking for trouble if he continues on this path.

You and many like you are so misinformed. You must either be an extreme liberal, from California, or both. Are you also against anyone carrying an semi-automatic hunting rifle? If not, then you're not really against an AK. They're basically the same thing. Only difference is one can take a high capacity magazine. You're probably just one of those people that "think" certain guns "look" bad and tag them as assault weapons. It's just a fallacy that many fall into. Educate yourself and then comment.

Man..we were going to get a good comp pick for Canty and Burnett too!!!

 

[jday]

Man, I so much would rather have kept Roy. Better character and now we're going to lose Comp picks in 2010. I hate my greed, but I feed it too.

This approach to the disappointment, I think I understand better than anyone's complaint so far. But the question with each Free Agent you should ask is, could we get a better player than this in the next year draft with the compensatory pick we stand to earn and can our team wait until next year to address the position being filled by said player?

I think we can all agree that the Safety position still should be addressed in the draft, and therefore, no it could not wait. Obviously, I don't know enough about next years prospects to know if we could find someone so much better that it's worth waiting for, but I do doubt it.

At 25, Gerald is entering his prime, but still has several years left to be a contributor on defense and Special Teams. Running a 4.51 for a Safety is exceptionally fast, which was one of the things that I think we all agreed our Safety position needed. Despite being considered better in run support coming out of college in 2005, he had 4 interceptions last year in 13 games, which is half as many as the Cowboys had in 16.

I, like many, am all for rebuilding through the draft, but the acquisitions the Cowboy's have made are exceptions to the rule because every player has familiarity with at least one of the coaches currently on the staff. That, I think, is important.

The other aspect I like about the players the Cowboys have acquired is the overall cost and the contracts are geared towards making players perform to prove they're worthy of a bigger contract.

Also, in each position, the Cowboys have gotten younger and improved our chances of maintaining continuity with the same group for awhile.

Lastly, we still should have 11 picks come draft day. These acquisitions have afforded the Cowboys the ability to draft the best player available versus drafting for need, like my below mock draft suggest.

It's about using a bit of common sense. .

Which is the whole point.

I don't even really care about the guns, provided they were legal. Why is he driving with a suspended license in the first place during FREE AGENCY?

If you can afford a Bently, I'm failrly certain cab fare will fit under the monthly nut.

Anyway sounds like he's more of a knucklehead than a problem case. Hope it doesn't translate on the field, we've got enough knucklehead stocked up here.

oh spare me on the gun lecture. Three guns??? he's only got two hands so unless he can make like a chimp and use one with his foot i dont buy the protection excuse. Plus this is Gerald friggin Sensabaugh not Randy Moss. 99.9999% of the general public have never heard of him ,let alone recognise him or target him.

How much name recognition do you need to get robbed when you are driving a Bentley? That is what's called, as I said earlier in this thread, a target of opportunity. Now, if you want to question why he needs to drive a car like that, well, I might not agree with it, but he's 25 and a millionaire. The three guns in the car could have been due to the fact that he was planning on taking them somewhere to shoot them all.

I'd still like to see Killa back.

Cut Watkins.

 

[BourbonBalz]

Many people leave weapons in their vehicles for periods of time. I wouldn't do it anymore but I often carried a hunting rifle, hunting shotgun, and pistol in my vehicles in the past.

If you see me anywhere, I will either have my service Glock 40 Cal. on my hip if I'm on the job, or my 9 mm Kel-Tek on my ankle if I'm not. Does that make me a criminal or a thug? Guess what? I dont' have an arrest record. I do the handcuffing. Be thankful that we are still afforded the right to own and carry a firearm in this country because that right might not last a whole lot longer.

This thread turned into the Cowboyszone gun show!!!

SMH.

Cut Courtney Brown.

the guy is no doubt a talent....however i do question the timing of the move...i thought we were cleaning up the image a little......he probably isnt a bad guy but ...image is everything right now

but in reality the guy is guilty of nothing but traffic violations.....if the guns arent illegal they cant be a crime.....a few years ago he was busted for speeding and was carrying a loaded pistol... He was charged with failure to obtain a carry permit for the weapon -- a misdemeanor......and since then he has obtained a permit....so he did the right thing...if you are gonna carry do it legally......and after S. Taylor you cant blame these guys for protecting themselves

 

[lqmac1]

wasnt jax secondary 1 of the worst in the league???

 

[BourbonBalz]

I want to apologize for my pro-gun rant. Not the place for it. That topic just pushes my hot button.

 

[28 Joker]

Good-bye Pat Watkins. This guy looks like a good upgrade on the field. The Cowboys took a risk. At times, you have to take some risks.

 

[Vtwin]

Jeebus,

Some of you guys are worse then ESPN.

The guy was pulled over for traffic violations, not arrested.

An AK47 is nothing more then semi-automatic rifle. Your grandfather's semi-auto deer rifle is far more accurate and shoots a bigger round.


I like this signing.

 

[tomson75]

Is this a done deal?


signed,

Gun owner/obvious criminal

 

[This is Our Year]

Seems like a good signing. Adds a little depth to the position and could start in a pinch if he had too. Also, a decent ST guy, like the move.

Try reading the links. He has been arrested 3 times.

He was arrested for driving on a suspended license. It never stated if he knew his license was suspended though.

If you're going to play the Eagles in Philadelphia, carrying a weapon for self preservation is a must!!! I had to go up there this last year to get a vehicle, boy, they were the meanest crowd on the interstate that I've witnessed thus far in my life. To be fair though, L.A. seemed pretty bad too.
