Leary to have MRI

[Bullflop]

And more often than not, what I can't give my back is rest, lol.

LOL -- I hear ya but hey, if Leary is anything like you, they may be forced to strap him to his bed.

For Leary sake he better get back ASAP or Collins is taking your job.

Well I did not think it was possible for Jerry to look any smarter after the draft signing Collins, but it looks even better now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[dallasdave]

Wonder if Leary could play swing-tackle ?

Took a couple days off for a headache, guy that replaced him happened to be named Lou Gehrig - the rest is history. Pipp always said those were 'the two most expensive aspirin' he's ever taken.

Or something like that.

Never heard that story. Thanks.

Leary is lighting it up right now. The left side is easily the most ferocious run blocking duo in the NFL, due in large part to Leary.

Guys on local sports talk radio said some people inside the Cowboys organization think Leary is the 2nd best OL on the team.

If that is the case, why would we pursue a guy who is clearly here to replace him?

His contract expires this year. Unless teams are scared off by the knee issue, he should command enough in free agency to be the highest paid interior OL in the league. It wouldn't be possible to keep him along with Smith, Fred, Martin. We had an opportunity to find his replacement for cheap. I wish we would've brought someone in to replace Murray even though he was the league's leading rusher. Just because a guy is good and relatively young, doesn't mean he'll be easily retained. Signing Collins was a move for next year.

Crazy talk. He's not better than Tyron and he's not better than Zack.

I don't think we knew where Collins was going to play. And I suspect that he will switch to playing RT next year unless he does get in at LG and plays very well.

And it was really a no-brainer...you can add a top-15 draft board talent for no draft pick and at a very minimal expense. Now you have a very talented backup that costs you little. Lastly, there is always Leary's knee issues.

I don't think he's the 2nd best O-Linemen on this team. I think per their position, Martin and Tyron are probably neck and neck for #1 and then Frederick is just behind them and Leary is #3. I think when things are clicking for Leary, he's probably better than Frederick per their position. But, we are really splitting hairs here.

They think Martin could play OT if Collins can't.

Collins has been practicing at LG because he is most comfortable on the left.

Also, Leary will be an RFA after the season and then full free agent if tendered for 2016.

Leary also has the well documented knee issue that could cut his career short.

Jerry will always persue a free 1st round pick talent.

No, he's an RFA next year.

Your 2nd best OL is a guy you prioritize keeping.

Left side vs. right side doesn't make sense - guys make that switch ALL the time. All the time.

What I see is some smoke that the FO is trying to get folks to inhale hoping that they can tender Leary and get a nice pick for him either via offer sheet or trade.

Wally Pipp.

Yup, worst time for Leary to get injured
