The victory was great Sunday night, we now lead our division by two games and with the Vikes loss, we are the number one seed.

The hit to the defense is substantial, loosing Claiborne for possibly the rest of the season will take a toll, we are very thin now in the secondary.

Can Scandrick hold up,, we shall see, but it might be time to make a move.

Several teams have taken hits at RB, league wide, might be time to shop Dmac.
 
It's now possible he's out for the season?

Thought it was a few weeks.
 
Wish we had cap space for Joe Haden. Unfortunately , we don't with a question mark on Romo's future and Martin to pay.

We are rolling with the rook Brown.

DMac is not going anywhere as long as the league keeps touting their ongoing investigation into Zeke.

Personally I want to see what Anthony Brown can do rest of way. Dallas was likely going to loss both starting CB so this gives them chance to evaluate Brown for extended period.

Reports I'm seeing say possible IR, and the team doesn't seem to know the severity or course of action yet. 2-3 weeks sounds awfully optimistic.

Have they said anything definitive about the injury yet? All I've heard is speculation.....
 
We need to get through these next 3 or 4 games with maximum 2 loses hopefully only 1 loss. We just need to scheme in a way that keeps our secondary out of trouble. My main concern is Wilcox.

A tear in the abs is hard to diagnose exactly where it is and the degree of tear. May need an MRI and who knows probably a laparoscopy.

yes, and Brown has already proved that he can play,, my point being that if Dmac could possibly have some trade value, maybe a Bethea,, just throwing that name out. Don't really care if its a Corner or safety, just some depth in the secondary.

I actually believe that Wilcox will improve the strong side running with TEs, and maybe he will surprise, and show up on the run. Church was always solid, but Wilcox could offer something that most aren't thinking about .. yet.
 
I can see the threads coming now about not resigning MO he is injury prone and cannot stay on the field

Jerry now is the perfect time to re-sign him to a reasonable contract get it done Please before all the threads start o_O

I'm Begging you !

We all know the saying “when one door closes another opens”, well that might be the scenario that plays out if the Cowboys decide to add the Tampa Bay Buccaneers former second round draft pick, Jonathan Banks.

dallas-cowboys-should-add-this-former-2nd-round-cornerback-2-300x214.jpg


Banks was the 43rd overall draft pick by the Buccaneers in the 2013 NFL Draft, but was released yesterday after falling out of favor with the new coaching regime in Tampa Bay.

Banks is 6’2″, 185 and was considered to be one of the best CBs in the 2013 draft after winning the Jim Thorpe Award, which by the way is given to the top defensive back in college football. He was also first-team All-SEC and first-team All-American in 2012 at Mississippi State.

Banks initially started his college career as a safety, but made the switch to cornerback his sophomore season. So, he does seem to possess some versatility, and we all know how the Dallas Cowboys love that in their players.

He is still Mississippi State’s all-time leader in interceptions with 16, which is pretty impressive when you think about it. He also had four quarterback sacks and four defensive touchdowns in college.

In his NFL career with the Buccaneers he has accumulated 130 total tackles, 16 pass deflections, seven interceptions, and one defensive touchdown.

His best season in the NFL was in 2014 in Lovie Smith’s Tampa 2 defensive scheme, when he registered 50 tackles and four interceptions. So, he could already be pretty familiar with Rod Marinelli’s defensive scheme.

Now that is an interesting prospect.... Any chance the boys are interested?
 
I think they will be ok at cornerback even though Claiborne has been their best defensive player. I worry more about Church because that means more Wilcox. And then we know what will happen if Wilcox plays more and it's not good
