Twitter: Isaac Alarcon shifting over to defense

Might want to try this with Prescott.

Well, they tried one QB Jamielle Showers to S. so yeah, Dak could try it.

Tightend is his next move.

He’s already gotten plenty of “in game experience“ by attempting to tackle all those players that intercepted him last year.

he’s probably gonna get more next season.

 

[jazzcat22]

Has there ever been a moment where Dallas changed a player's position (not even talking about switching from offense to defense) that worked out for the player?

Mark Tuinei was an DL converted to OL.
I believe Randy White switched to DT.
Of course that was when the coaches knew what they were doing.

Several players took on the role of Rowdy as well…but now that is Spaulding“s job. You know Jerry…keep it in the family.

Won't be surprised if he's better than Trysten Hill, Joey Ivie, Ken Bishop or Montavious Stanley!

I can only guess that this move is because of some obscure NFL player mercy rule.

Alcaron was simply too good. They have to start him fresh somewhere else for a handicap to encourage parity.

I hope they don't mean shifting sides as to the other side of the border.

 

[FTWayne]

maybe punter or field goal kicker too? Then equipment manager?

I kinda like it honestly. Although he might be seen as a charity practice squad roster spot at this point, I think if the man has got the strength to go with his size I don't see a problem with a developmental d lineman.
Gosh forbid an effective d-tackle emerges, lol.

He must have been too good for the offensive line.

Here is 1 ex-Cowboys player who started on the team on Defense but made the switch to Offense and became an All Pro and 3 Time SB Champion...

Mark Tuinei parlayed a chance to walk on with the National Football League (NFL) Dallas Cowboys as a defensive lineman into a 15-year career with the Cowboys as an offensive lineman from 1983 to 1997. He was a two-time all-pro selection, 1994 and 1995, and he helped his team win three Super Bowl Championships in 1993, 1994 and 1996.

If Mark Tuinei could do it as a walk-on, Isaac Alarcón has a chance.

Agreed..This is a developmental player and development is a very important part of team building.

True and the simple fact it is costing Dallas very little do find out and yet we get people complaining about this? Hell the man does not even count against the roster

Just like the XFL, the back of his jersey could read "marketing gimmick".

 

[Hardline]

Jerry doesn't want to alienate that massive Cowboys popularity south of the border.
If this doesn't work maybe he can play center for the Dallas Mavericks.

could read test drive as well. I don't expect much regardless if he stayed at OL or trying him out at DL. If it works out great if not then Dallas lost nothing

 

[KDM256]

Don't understand the fascination with this guy.. If the Dog can't hunt then it is what it is, it just can't hunt.

 

[EST_1986]

Quick someone check on @Dak_Attack_09 . The next Larry Allen has been switched to defense because he sucked at OL. It cant be so.

He's the next Aaron Donald now

 

[Floatyworm]

Not exactly a good sign.. His days as a Cowboy may be numbered.

 

[LysleE]

So I guess turning Alarcon around to play DL is going to cure his weaknesses and deficiencies evident in his OL play. I guess Jerry & Son will give him another 3 years to claim a spot on the DL. Who needs to draft for the DL when you are employing this strategy!
