Jihad Ward, our starting 3T?

[NorthwestDallas40]

I don’t see us moving Crawford back, but it’s possible. I think more likely it’s Ward holding down the fort until Irving returns. We may need to sign or trade for another DT.

I could see Ward being placed there. Unfortunately, I think this may force our hand in FA.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

That’s what we get for not drafting a DT

Unfortunately, this is why it bothers me that Marinelli will not ask for a proper DT in the draft. Lucky for us, Collins is a solid player when he's healthy. Key word being: healthy. I do hope that some other chaps can prove themselves as well. It'd be nice to be finally rid of this annoyance.

Maybe somebody up there should have listened to us screaming for a 1tech. Then again maybe not. Quite a few guys I'm not very up on talent wise. By up on I mean I don't really know, not that I don't like them.

I do know that I think we'd be better with a big boy. 2 downs aint that bad out of 3, especially if it's 3 & 6 or more.

We should definitely move Crawford back. There's no real room for him at DE with Gregory returning and Armstrong in the fold with probably another guy on top of that (Ealy? Tapper?)... that's five total DEs if you consider Lawrence and Charlton the starters. Crawford must play DT

Agreed, all signs point to moving Crawford back to DT for a few games. I've thought we should do this even before the Irving suspension.

Could be Ward.

Nah, they do not have to bring in another DT for only 4 games.

They can make do with what they have AND with the ability to move Crawford inside on occasion.

I thought there was some possibility of this also because I could see Taco and Lawrence being the starters at DE.

I think Ward would have to really stand out for that to happen while we know Crawford can play the spot effectively. It makes more sense to move him back from DE and have him in a rotation with Ward.

With Irving suspended, I think we're looking at Crawford, Collins, Ward and Price as our top four DL.

 

[armadillooutlaw]

I'd go with Taco-Crawford-Collins-Lawrence
unless they acquire a legit 1T.

I assume you mean top 4 DT's.

 

[Cowpolk]

Put Rico there he can make the ROH at 2 positions

 

[QuincyCarterEra]

It's much more likely to be Collins than Ward.

Something like
Lawrence-Collins-Price or Jones-Crawford or Gregory

 

[Techsass]

Crawford probably starts at DE, but if/when Gregory comes back I see him shifting inside more this season. Just don't know if it'll be the first 4 games.

 

[Mr_437]

1Tech: Price, Ash, Ross, Woods
3Tech: Ward, Jones, Neal, (multiple DEs)

Cowboys still have plenty numbers. Stay the course see if these guys can hold et down.

 

[Risen Star]

Yeah we pretty much have to hope Ward pans out.

Marinelli saw something in him at the Senior Bowl. So I feel good about this.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Did Collins have a setback or something?

 

[Idgit]

Collins and Price to start, I imagine. With Ward and others rotating heavily.

Bring back osborne!!!
