As the Cowboys continue to hunt for a consistent pass rush, Charles Tapper has become the forgotten man in the list of defensive ends expected to contribute in Rod Marinelli’s rotation. The Cowboys drafted Tapper in the fourth round last year, 34 picks before they took Dak Prescott, but Tapper didn’t play a down.

If he can be a reliable part of the rotation, that'd be good enough. If he can be an impact player when he's in there, even better
So far, he is not reliable. The defensive version of Chaz Green. Even down to the proper first name.

I think Tapper is more a fit on the right side than Taco is. Pulling for this guy. He is the forgotten man when it comes to figuring out this pass rush.

I found it funny that in the article they had to find a picture of him from his Sooner days, since he's never been in a Cowboys uniform.

That picture says a lot.

I like what I'm hearing. At least the young man saw what he needed to do & did it. I liked him at Oklahoma, even though their scheme didn't maximize his skill set. Love that he's going for it. God knows we need all the PR we can get.

Will we see a young starting DL this year of:
RDE - Tapper
3DT - Collins
1DT - Irving
LDE - Taco

Or will they not be able to beat out the vets and we'll be stuck with:
RDE - Lawrence
3DT - Collins
1DT - Thornton
LDE - Crawford

Tapper plays in all 16 games and gets 4+ sacks, I'm good. Same with Taco. Love to see Jaylon doing some blitzing and getting more sacks than both those guys. I think it's safer for Jaylon to be coming off the edge that chasing guys around in coverage. Think it takes Jaylon another year to get to where he is as healed as he will ever be.
