I think he could really help us but I don't see it happening either.

I like that "animal" in these players... Lol.... TO, Dez, Suh, Marion barber... Etc

I like the "animal" type player too. But, I don't like "nasty" players, and he is nasty. He just would not really fit in, IMO.

The Cowboys already have some young "pups" that are turning into "dogs"...and I love dogs!

Exactly. See Charles Haley. If he was in the league now and the stunts he pulled off in the locker room occurred in today's NFL he would be out of the league. You can't build a team with Charles Haley.

You can build a collection of individuals, but you can't build a team.

Funny how your example with Charles is conveniently based on what he does on the game field. Your fandom reveals that it is all about the on field game performance when the current Cowboys success if predicated on what happens off the game field. They focus on the person and the practice and how it rolls up to the game. Not the other way around.

I don't think your version of success in a today's NFL would work with this current Cowboys locker room.

I never said you are building a team with Suh. He is a missing piece.

You make the assertion that Suh couldn't work.

I want to give him a chance and see. No guessing... No opinions.

Dallas built a very strong team and then added Charles Haley as a final piece. Haley wouldn't have worked if the strong Cowboys team was not in place first. The bigger difference and challenge is the salary cap. The 90s Cowboys would have had a more difficult task of adding Charles Haley if there had been a salary cap in place back then. That is the main obstacle of adding Suh.

Good point...that is why I don't think there will be any more dynasties. That is why it is so hard in today's NFL to win a SuperBowl, much less two in a row, and another one 2 years later.

If it is animal you want I would challenge you to watch the past three games and focus on Nick Hayden. There is no one in the games, both sides, who is more nasty and intense than him. I have got a kick out of watching him during the play and after the whistle. Just a great member of the team.

When we are talking about effectiveness in the interior Crawford is really exciting to watch. Comgine those two and not only do you have the qualities that have been attributed to Suh, but they come much cheaper and form a better teammate than Suh will ever be for this Cowboys team.

I suggest we take care of the babies we gave birth to and be cautious about who we adopt into the family. The team is watching and it doesn't take much to upset this nursery if you bring in a crybaby like another TO.

Just like the maternity ward in a hospital once one baby starts bawling others soon follow. See Crayton, Reeves and Hurd.

Not interested. The chemistry seems to be building, Despite the talent, the cost also is a problem.

McCoy just signed for about 7 years 100 million so:

Too pricey! Will ride with the DTs we got and draft another good one.

Yea, Suh is going to want to be in the $100 million club along with McCoy and Watt...................................probably too rich for our blood.

It's a bad idea to give up premium draft picks AND salary cap space. He would require a huge contract. Good teams either spend big money on free agents or use draft picks to get inexpensive young player, but don't use both big cap space and draft picks on the same player.

Denver seems to be doing both, spending draft picks on players like Von Miller and signing big ticket guys in free agency like Ware and Aquib Talib.

Not on the same player!
Von Miller = Draft Pick
Ware = Money
Talib = Money

Suh = Drafts Picks + Money
