So I am not a season ticket holder but, I called into the teleconference anyway. If I wasn’t in the military I would have season tickets and so I felt I deserved to listen in lol. So here is what I heard from the teleconference.
First of all, our fan base is full of ignorance. It is very rare that I find a fan that is true blue. Most people call themselves fans but, complain about every aspect of the team. Some of the questions were flat out asinine. One fan asked if we were; wait for it, “interested in Tebow” so we would finally have a decent no. 2 QB and someone who could step in if Romo goes down. Another fan asked if we would try to acquire picks to draft Manziel next year. He said he can’t talk about college players.
Jerry spent time to elaborate on the decision to pick Frederick. He was asked why not Eifert and then Fred in Rd 2 if the C/TE was the plan. He said that Escobar’s pass catching ability gave them the ability to pass on Eifert and not risk losing Frederick before the 47th pick. He said we will have a lot of 2 and 3 TE sets like we did against Baltimore that will make teams chose whether to defend the run. Baltimore never adjusted to the Cowboys 3 TE set and therefore they had a huge day rushing. This is the goal is to exploit teams through mismatches.
Jay Ratliff was a topic of discussion. The 4/3 is going to benefit him because he will win one on one matchups and the front will allow D-Ware to rush the passer 100% of the time putting him against T’s one on one or even TEs sometimes. He said that Kiffin told them his D will put the secondary in position to make plays. The safeties do not have to have range because his D puts them in the right angles to make plays.
Romo will game plan Tuesdays. Said this draft is the first that each pick could be active week 1 based on their potential to contribute now. Matt Johnson and Barry Church are the favorites to be starters at safety if he had to pick now but, Wilcox will compete for a starters role. Didn’t mention Allen at all!
Finally, and perhaps the most important is the Doug Free situation. He said it is being addressed and that they have a decision to make there. They are excited about Parnell and that Woicyk measured his punch as the strongest out of any OL he has been around, says something. It sound like they are hoping Free takes a pay cut to spell Parnell kind of opposite of what they did at the end of the season. Not one Clabo question.
That is all I can remember off the top of my head. Have at it.
