My take on EP 2.

1. They focused on Dinucci for some reason but is he making progress I don't know, maybe maybe not?
2. I think the intensity is better at practice
3. Still way too much profanity (F bombs galore once again) especially from our leaders Dak and McCarthy.
4. Kamara is a good kid but he has no business playing D-end in the NFL at 235 so good luck with that.
5. Micah Parson is a wrecking machine and I'm really looking forward to watching him play this year.

Randy Gregory was around that weight his first two seasons as I recall and is only about 245 now. Would it really matter if Kamara was 10 pounds heavier? Those 10 pounds are going to come as his body matures anyway. His speed, length and overall athletic ability are worth trying to develop. No he isn't going to be ready to play this year.. but give him a year in a real NFL offseason program.. one that is unmarred by Covid and let's see what we got.

Pretty blah to say the least. I liked some of the previous Hard Knocks better when the talked about folks on the bubble and their good and bad points. Did I mention it being a big yawn.

i like zeke as well, not sure all te hate yet Basham is giving him run for him money as team Joker and he gets zero flak..zekes target..

i agree Kamra is not DE hes OLB/SS of some sort most likely doesn't fit this team as we have too many for those hybrid guys already,

to all those knockings hard knocks, i mean they have to take weak content and dress it up, not much goes in this time of year so who cares its supposed to be entertaining but not cinematic masterpiece
dont watch..

chill pout this place needs a shot of prozac..man the miserable and insufferable types have polluted the site. Negativity is overwhelming at times..

Come on man....its been 25 years, and the same idiot is still charge. Why wouldn't the negativity be overwhelming?

Mom's is matronly hot. Seeing her in that garb had me instantly wondering if she was single! :) It's hard not to admire people who come from that environment under the circumstances they have to do it, escaping murderous warlords, hiding out on refugee ships, not speaking the language of the country they flee to, and then end up reasonably well adjusted and even successful. They could probably do a 6 week docuseries on that family's journey that would be riveting.

I totally agree on all counts, brother. I did have to look up "matronly" though. Lol My mom use to tell me that when she first rode on a plane back in the 50's everyone dressed up because it was a privilege to fly. For her and her family it's a privilege to be in America watching her son play the game of football for money. He said he didn't want to talk about the past because I think maybe his father was killed and that's why they fled here. I hope I'm wrong though. If he doesn't make our team (even on the practice squad like last season) I hope and pray he makes it on another team.

One of my best friends and coworker is from Ethiopia. He grew up in a fairly well to do family back there in the 60's. When they had the civil war in the early 70's he was away at college in Canada.. He said they came through and seized all of his family's land and his father had to flee to keep from being killed. At least at that time they would not kill the women and children (like they do now) so his mother and siblings were spared and allowed to continue to live in the family home but all the land was taken from them. Things would eventually stabilize and his dad (and he) was able to be reunited with the family but it was never comfortable again. I would love to visit Africa one day and all the historically significant sites there and in the Middle East but frankly I am not willing to risk dying to see them. When I see stories like this kid and his family I thank God that I was born in this country.. Even as screwed up as this country was when I was born back in Mississippi in 1960.. I was still given a 100 mile head start over those folks. This country is not perfect and never will be.. but it's strength is that as a collective society, we are not afraid to try to be. We get a lot of things wrong.. but we keep trying.. That's all we can do.

I agree with your points. I would've thought in this day and age that making fun of the way someone talks would be inappropriate. Not to me though. I thought it was funny but people have to be careful of the PC Police now.

And in the last 24 hours I've heard a poster here say that "Dak would be warming the bench if they brought in Johnny Manziel.":lmao:
Another said "Half the starters on our team suck." :facepalm:

Someone said the gap between Jalen Ramsey (5th pick) and Zeke (4th pick) is "INCREDIBLY wide." Jalen is good no doubt but he has yet to win any awards while Zeke has two rushing titles and should have 3 if it wasn't for the suspension. Jalen went to 4 pro-bowls to Zeke's 3. Again, if it wasn't for that suspension he would have 4 as well. So IMO the gap is not that INCREDIBLY wide.

I took a screen shot of a well known poster wishing Dak would get hurt again. I posted it on another thread but my comment was deleted, but his comment stayed. :huh:

Nothing says alpha males like yoga with a pregnant yoga instructor !!!!
They literally went from a spread eagle dude doing yoga to Zeke talking about needing to powder his nuts. HBO is editing this to make the Cowboys look like clowns.

I know you're just a troll who thinks half our starters suck, but I'll feed you.

Off the top of my head, Lynn Swann, Hershel Walker and my man Evander "The Real Deal" Holyfield, they took ballet lessons to improve their footwork. I don't think you'd say they are not alpha males. Well then again since you're a troll you just might. Lol

He was on the Cowboys practice squad last year.

Honestly....I fell asleep about a third of the way through. The last scenes I recall was the Lawrence family on the beach (4 or 5 kids?), the chess match, and Elliott's quest for some Johnson's (I know....the product has been discontinued).

My 7 year old is more mature than Zeke. I met this dude in Oxnard in 2016 and he’s a complete ****** as well as a clown.
He's a little behind when it comes to maturity level to say the least.
