Looking for LB depth on waiver wire

[NeonNinja]

If we are looking for linebackers can we get one the looks like these guys. Dang. I wanna go move really heavy stuff back and forth now.














Instead of looking like these guys. Seriously though, what kinda of lifting do the Cowboys do? They all seem tiny. What's up the the Cowboys strength and conditioning. Smh

I guess you're suggesting Wilber and others take steroids? They still lack the talent.

Steroids no.....extra lifting yes Agreed, they not only lack talent, they lack muscles too. That's like double bad.

At this point, we are just looking for stop-gap players, so it doesn't hurt to bring any of them in for a look and a short deal. With any luck we find someone who's got gas left in the tank and earns a new deal.

I dont know who wrote that scouting report, but Manny Lawson is in no way shape or form a coverage linebacker

DAL likes a leaner LB that can cover RBs and TEs......the days of the huge thumpers are gone.....that is why we cherish guys like JSmith and why we put up with McClain's antics.......he was a huge guy that didn't suck in coverage

id rather keep King and Akunne

I don't like Dallas' LB depth, so I think it would be best for them too keep an eye out on LB's getting cut. 1 Vet has just been cut from Buffalo, Manny Lawson.



I found this scouting report on him. Yes, he's on the wrong side of 30, but he'd be a solid depth player who is good in coverage and acceptable against the run. Just don't expect much pass rushing from him.



Reports from the pre-season haven't been good on Justin Durant so this guy may be a useful alternative.

He is a 3-4 OLB or 4-3 DE.

Man I remember the Manny Lawson vs Bobby Carpenter debates lol

Lol omg same here. Both were wrong. I was an Antonio Cromartie guy.

 

[funkytown]

Yes go find the big swole steroid guys to play LB

Not many Ray Lewis or Patrick Willis types anymore.

He is a 3-4 OLB or 4-3 DE.

That was his original projection. Lawson has converted into an average to pretty good 4-3 OLB, learned the position under Zimmer.

Buffalo was a 4-3 before Rex got there. One of the reasons Mario wanted out of Buffalo, wanted to play DE instead of OLB. Hated to be in coverage.

 

[AsthmaField]

Had he been a decent 43 OLB he'd probably still be with Zimmer. He really wasn't.

Of course, at this point he really isn't a decent 34 player either.

He would be worse than what we have.

As for the pics of merriman, Mathews, etc... Those guys have been linked to PED's more than once.

Yes, Ryan on in Buf 2 years now.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

I'm not worried about LB as much as I am OL, DE, and QB.

 

[Tass]

Seriously though, what kinda of lifting do the Cowboys do?

The non-anabolic steroid kind?

 

[Mr Cowboy]

Lets take care of DE, pass rusher types, before worrying about LBs.

 

[gmoney112]

Maybe.

What I do know is that this "30 is too old" nonsense is why our defense sucks.

 

[BAT]

Yes, Ryan on in Buf 2 years now.

Yes, that's why he was buried on bench and now cut, playing out of position. He was signed in FA to play 4-3 OLB from the Bengals where he was starter.
