I asked a couple questions on a podcast at BTB.
And Landon McCool answered it (first question in podcast) and he even got my 'name' correct...
http://www.bloggingtheboys.com/2017...our-questions-about-the-cowboys-draft-in-2017

Rico
He saw Rico at the beginning of camp and end of camp.
Rico did not looked like he belong at the beginning of camp.
Rico looked like he belong (though very raw) at the end of camp.
He saw the recent video with Rico catching all those passes.
He said Rico looked substantially better in the video than at the end of camp, even assuming those are his highlights.
Nothing on blocking though.

Hanna
He heard some better news.
Still not sure about microfracture surgery.

on the days i cannot post, i got to have something to do.
btw, most of them dont know what CZ is...
They know what and who we are. Some (a very small few) may not, but this is the site for all diehards, and they can try to play it off. I lurk and occasionally post there (different username) and this site is frequently referenced during the season.

They're our Houston Texans to our Dallas Cowboys (as far as posting goes).

They know.

who references this site and btb?

one advantage over there is direct access to their e-journalists like the way i asked those questions.
but they dont have a board list this - really strange.

A large contingent of their posters.

I think the majority of the folks that post there regularly -- as opposed to the format here -- prefer that single scroll-style posting (I can't stand it, personally), thus, they stay there.

And it's a very "rah rah" site, I've had posts deleted for merely questioning other members. Whatevs. I didn't care.

the rah-rah style is true.
but ever than most cap-critical posters had to agree with my cap analysis - in that we could have afford multiple FAs

what i like there:
1. access to ejournalist - i will take advantage of this soon on cap arguments
2. can post full articles
3. spreadsheets come out like cells instead of losing all the formatting here.

what i do not like there:
1. scroll style
2. most ejournalists are too pro-team

@bkight13 - we can take our salary cap argument directly to the ejournalists there at btb in their podcasts - just post the questions on their podcast question mailbag

He is just a subpar player that nobody wants. If this doesn't solidify how bad he was as a draft pick and it gosh darn it was not just Witten holding him back, I don't know what else to say.

Now if you don't mind, please stop mentioning his name before Dallas reminds themselves he is still a free agent and offers him a dirt cheap contract.

I do think he will be a Cowboy again, unless you want to draft another TE in the second round.
