Lance Dunbar - Emphatic praise from Garrett, Brown, Witten

[jobberone]

In this recurring dream about screens... were you peeking through one in it?

How did you know that?!

 

[CATCH17]

You beat me to it! I was about to say in before Catch17 says the scheme sucks! Which I've always agreed with you. But at least it was a whole lot better finally with Linny running the show.....finally!

Yeah all Linny really did was attempt to be balanced.

Same scheme really.

Also, we actually attempted to beat the Jim Haslett style of defenses that teams destroy us with about halfway through the season this past year.

If you live here in DFW and hear all of the local media it seems definite that Garrett would have kept Murray. Garrett is a "company man" and will defer to Stephen/McClay. Did you see the war room during the Floyd non-pick? Garrett was unhappy about trading down and not picking Floyd. Teams can have differences of opinion in the front office and still have a healthy situation.

Yeah, I'm not doubting that Garrett wanted to keep Murray... just saying that Jason saying Murray is a good player doesn't indicate his feeling one way or another because Garrett would always speak highly of Murray, no matter what.

I know you get more info living there than I do living near New Orleans... (lucky bastige).

I might try to find a job in Dallas and move back... that's what I need to do.

if Dunbar is good enough to make the team, great, all the better, if not, well we move on

Whoa, common sense alert. Watch out, they'll be coming for you.

Same scheme, but different feel IMO. We were a mess in the past. Do we run, do we pass? It's not the run and shoot, but I like it a lot better than the previous play caller calling plays.

I think the staff is praising Dunbar and expressing confidence that Linehan will increase using him for a good reason. Their statements appear to be directed at Linehan to lobby for him to utilize Dunbar more generously. That's my take on it, anyhow. Last year, they tried doing so to no avail whatsoever. Evidently, that campaign is being renewed by their public statements in 2015. I wonder if they've actually tried communicating that to him.

Other than the sports teams, DFW is somewhat boring, especially compared to New Orleans. When people come from out of town for a visit and ask "what should we see" I never really have a good answer.

On the positive side you can get a mini-mansion for less then $100 per sqft.

Going back the the Dunbar topic, I've only heard Garrett be that emphatic with a few players. They meidia will ask about a lot of players and Garrett's answer is normally "he's a good football player" but he reserves the "he's a hell of a football player for just a few", IMO.

On the Fort Worth side there is the Kimball, Amon Carter, FW Science Museum, Zoo, Botanical Garden....

Common sense or Captain Obvious?

 

[Fredd]

Dunbar with more touches....blah, blah, blah
Escobar with more touches....blah, blah, blah

only so many footballs to go around...

 

[TrailBlazer]

If the offensive coaches could just figure out how to get him the ball. Thw guy is super explosive in space. I don't think the coaches know how to get him involved or they would've done it by now. Therefore I find it hard to justify his roster spot.

New Orleans is far from exciting. You can see the French Quarter and get mugged or visit the rest of the city and get mugged.

Today on sports radio they said Dunbar is a poor mans Reggie Bush.. I've always liked the guy and wished we used him more in the short passing game...

 

[JDSmith]

These quotes just make me think Dunbar is gone. Unless McFadden is hurt or proves that Oakland ruined him he's going to take Dunbar's spot because he's more versatile and a better blocker.
