Is no news good or bad regarding Rolando McClain?

[Aven8]

I'm unaware of Defense being the only determining factor in football.

They lost 3/4ths of their starting DBs. They got a LB who spent all of last yea ron IR and it isn't the first long term injury for him. Outside of Fletcher Cox there is no one on that Defense I would love to have.

They are trading their best OL guy. One of their best already left. There is no one to throw the football to worth a flip, but that is fine because they don't have a QB anyway. Foles was way better than Bradford. I like Murray, but have never thought he was a better weapon than McCoy.

I not only do not fear them like I did last year, I am amused by all of this.

I agree Hos. In 2 years Chip has gotten rid of Maclin, Desean, McCoy, and Foles. He's either going to look like a genius or fail miserably (and maybe coaching the U of A, lol). I would rather have Foles myself as well.

Bradford to Riley Cooper?? Lmao!

I predict they are headed tot he NFC East basement unless they draft incredibly. DeMarco screwed himself.

The Commanders are still the bottom feeders of the division but I don't think the Eagles will be very good. They are expecting the same results DeMarco got as a Cowboy and that just isn't going to happen with the offense they currently have.

Bradford ran that "run and gun" stuff in college. He should be better than Foles in Kelly's offense. But, I think NFL defenses are fast enough to shut it down when they figure it out, and I think they already have. Unfortunately for Bradford if this offense doesn't work anymore, he'll get the blame.

This isn't college and he's had 2 ACL surgeries since.

I agree.

Chip has figured out that he can blame Bradford if the Offense fails- then he can say he needs the right QB to make it work and since he does not have him he has to change his O. Sneaky plan.

 

[lwehlers]

Do you actually like what they ahve done?

I think they ruined a good football team, even with acquiring Murray.

I like there defense right now. Maxwell is good corner they might have overpaid a little for him but he is much better then Williams. also I wish we had a middle linebacker like the one they got from buffalo. also he will not be a free agent for another two years so if he is healthy he will be a steal for there defense.

 

[dfense]

Philly goes mad scientist and we go missing in action.

Remember a couple years ago when they signed the dream team? Me neither.

I don't.

 

[BiffWellingtonIII]

Do we forget what Philly did to us on T-Giving? now they got triple headed RB with a VERY GOOD OL and can control the game kinda like we 'did"

Also the Giants will bounce back this year with Cruz & ODB to contend with and , a great signing in Vereen.

We've slipped here - it's only March but I don't see any impact D players left to add and that's what we needed.

You can only go so far with George Selvie and co.

I don't.

They do and he's better but is being moved to WLB, Sean Lee.

Over paid a little? He is the 5th highest paid corner in the league. He is slightly above average.

Worse than Washington, eh?

Noted.

Well, they can't all be homeruns like Brandon Carr.

I must admit the whole Rolondo thing confuses me.

You realize Alonso is coming off a lost season to injury and will be changing schemes. They also had one of the worst defensive backfields in the league and addressed it by tremendously overpaying for Maxwell.

Scandrick/Lee >>> Alonso/Maxwell ALLLL DAY

 

[LandryFan]

Unfortunately hope will have to be part of the strategy if they resign Rolando.

Hope that he doesn't continue to get concussed as he did once, possibly twice in his last two games

Hope that he had absolutely nothing to do with the suspected arson of his home.

Hope that whatever substance that earned him his 4 game fine for his 3rd substance abuse offense doesn't rear it's ugly head again.

Hope the guy who was slowed down by various nagging injuries is a better player next season after a full training camp.

Hope the guy who has had runs in with the law and once lied to a police officer about his name doesn't run afoul of the law again

Hope the guy who quit on the Raiders doesn't quit on the Cowboys.

After reading that, I've come to the conclusion that RoMac hasn't yet offered JJ enough to let him play.

IMO it boils down to this. The Cowboys don't feel he has the passion to play football the way they want there players to.

Mac came to the Cowboys and had a new life and came out firing. As the season wore on and he started to get dinged up, he missed practice and came out of games. He then has the drug game fine thing going on. Just to many things going on with this guy.

If he doesn't have the desire, passion and commitment to be the best player and teammate. Move on.

The media has been consistent in that the Cowboys want him but at their price. It's just a waiting game.
