I thought Sendejo Vikings SS had potential before the Cowboys cut him

[Kwmike22]

I really thought he had potential when he was with the Cowboys, but we cut him.

The team went like 15 years refusing to play young players no matter how good they looked or how poor the veteran was playing. Amendola is another prime example.

Dallas Cowboys
On November 24, 2010, Sendejo was signed to the Dallas Cowboys' practice squad as an undrafted free agent. On November 29, 2010, Sendejo was promoted to the active roster.

Good thing we kept Sensabaugh and Alan Ball!!

That was the year Barry church made the team as an undrafted free agent if I remember right.

Well good for you!

Smh.. so now fans are questioning player acquisition moves from almost a decade ago! Wow. Even though, it took an undrafted player roughly five years to crack the starting lineup. Ok, I give up

To be honest, this franchise seems to make questionable personnel decisions way more than most teams.

Our player evaluations and acquisitions have not been the greatest. Basically, there's just not a pile of players killing it on other teams that we had first.

 

[Knotamus]

Ooh, I want to play..

I wonder if Chiefs wish they had David Irving back?

No wait, I wonder if Arizona wishes they didn’t let their 1st round OL Jonathan Cooper get away..

Or maybe, since Brice Butler seems to be a bonifide starter.. maybe Gruden recognizes the mistake, signs him, and will start over Crabtree or Amari Cooper.

SMH.. this is ridiculous revisionism (is that even a word)

Fact: Barry Church turned out just fine while he was here

 

[Gameover]

The team went like 15 years refusing to play young players no matter how good they looked or how poor the veteran was playing. Amendola is another prime example.

And the Cowboys only have the sixth best record in the league since 2007 to show for it.

How did we ever survive losing Amendola!

Cowboys are indeed slow to recognize changes that need to be made in order to help the team, but let's not lose all perspective.

Like Switzer should've gotten opportunities this year. He'll get them next year. Day late and a dollar short organization!

Forgot: what about the playoffs!

Stop. Stealing. My. Posts.

I read the whole thread waiting to make that comment!

Zimmer is pretty good at getting former Cowboys DBs to play better. Surprised he didn’t sign Mo might of had him playing like Deion.
