McClain left no contract

[DiResta]

Remember when Ken Bishop was the next Reggie White? Good times

And let’s not forget the great Ben Bass too

and ROH shoe in Lewis Neal

i prefer my dc to have a more calm demeanor

 

[Sydla]

Yes I would. And what' this obsession with Never Took An NFL snap before argument on this message board. You think I didn' take that into consideration. Yeah I like him and I would like to keep him on the team and watch him develop. What' wrong with that

What's with it is it shows a huge flaw in your argument. This team needs DT help, especially now that Collins has broken a foot for the third time.

McClain would make way more sense today than Osborne for this team.

 

[Sydla]

To be honest...I would rather deploy a young, inexpensive fire-eater that fits the mold of a Marrinelli guy than spend
a boatload on an oft hurt player who can't stay on the field. Hence, his quick exit from the Deadskins.

Who says you have to spend a boat load? Why do people insert statements like this other than to justify their positions?

The fact there are a few DTs sitting out there would seem to indicate that the money isn't there for DTs, so likely the Cowboys aren't going to have to pony up a ton to get McClain if they want him.

We also have no freaking clue if Osborne is a fire-eater DT. He's never taken a NFL snap. Shoot, I hope the kid is the next great UDFA find but at this point, it's funny that people would prefer a kid they've never seen take a NFL snap over a guy (or guys) that are veterans that have a decent track record at a position of need.

 

[Sydla]

It really concerns me that the FO doesn’t take the DT position seriously.

I hope Hankins is under consideration.

What's odd is that Marinelli saw the Tampa D up close and they always had high level DT play.

 

[SportsGuru80]

I'm all for players getting all the money they can.

McClain reportedly will decide which team to sign with after visiting the Falcons today. I don't think leaving without a contract automatically means he won't sign with us.

What's Atlanta's DT situation? I thought they had nice depth there?

They lost Poe. Tough to replace him with 1 guy. Literally and figuratively.

Why is that? I thought we were rebuilding. Keep the youth movement going.

Wait, we are rebuilding now?

Totally forgot about Poe. Yeah, that's a decent loss for them.

I don’t know if it’s reasonable to believe TM will be as good as he was when he left.

It’s been 2 years and if what you guys are claiming is true about playing out of position I’m led to believe he would be coming with 2 years worth of unnecessary wear and tear from a position he shouldn’t have been playing.

I’m kinda glad he didn’t sign.

OK. Then what's the fix at DT? Or are you fine with what they have at the 1 Tech - Price, Ash, maybe Ward and Collins coming off a busted foot eventually?

 

[firewater]

I was hoping he would get signed.

Plot twist

Thread starter’s name is Dequinton Osborne

 

[Supercowboy1986]

It goes without question a DT is needed.

I am unsure whether TM is the answer given the information about his tenure with Washington.

He also missed significant time due to injury during his first stint with the Cowboys.

Maybe but it's not like we have a ton of options at this point.

Interesting, I told a friend of mine that last year.

I’m also perplexed on why Marinelli seems to not value the position which was one of the main reasons why Tampa’s Defense was very good back in the day.

He has blocked Greg Spires and Booger McFarland out of his mind. Also Tommie Harris.
