News: PFT: Confirmed: Anthony Brown out for the year with a torn Achilles

[terra]

Bad for Brown; Achilles tear is usually a two year injury and he is already 29.
Joseph has the physical tools but lacks the football IQ.

CB is a lot like QB; you look at many of the best and they are not all that physically gifted; but their football IQ is what makes them great.

 

[JW82]

That sucks for the kid.

 

[mardwin]

2 out of 3 staters at corner gone.

AB feel so bad for you , get well soon, we gonna miss you - Crazy thing is i am going through this exact injury right now i'm 1 month in

 

[charron]

Big loss. But like i said in another thread its an opportunity for several guys in house to step up.

 

[Mobinvans]

Brown was having a good year

Thanks for the plays Mr. Brown

 

[noshame]

you could see the trainer holding it as they were leaving the field....made me cringe

 

[Aven8]

Man that sucks

Yep, this is made for someone to step up and step in. In someway's it's easier for them (Joseph or Nahshon) coming in without the pressure of having to prove themselves (and Dan will change the scheming for their particular skills/weaknesses)....look at how Bland is coming along since Lewis's injury.

This was the basis of this season....throw in the youngsters and see whether they can grasp that starting job.

 

[cowboyec]

hate to hear that.
big opportunity for daron bland.

 

[Cowboyny]

Dang get well soon Brown.

I think this is the final year of his contract.

We may as well have seen the last of Anthony Brown as a Cowboy.

Joseph has a huge opportunity, if he messes it up, the Cowboys will have a huge need at the position come draft time.

 

[JoeKing]

The Cowboys moving on without AB this season. I wish him a speedy and full recovery. It's his contract year so maybe he returns on the cheap.

 

[Carson]

He's much maligned by Cowboys Nation, but he's always in position to make plays. He just doesn't play the ball well when it's in the air (which is kind of important). I wish him a speedy recovery, even if we're moving on from him.

He was solid last season outside of the egregious Raiders game.

He hasn’t been good this year. But I still wish him a speedy recovery and will admit the defense likely takes a step back without him

Yep, AB wasnt likely to be back and we have the perfect chance to see Joseph as CB2....it's his to lose, either you've got it or move on....at least he's and we have an extended look.

 

[DCBoysfan]

That CB room is suddenly getting thin.

I dont know if our defense will take a step back, more sideways. What it does mean that Offenses will have to re-write the book and Dan gets to scheme for a different skillset. In a copy-cat league AB was getting targeted on man and we didnt seem to have an answer.

 

[CowboyoWales]

That CB room is suddenly getting thin.

I doubt OBJ would mind playing a bit of D

 

[Miller]

Liked his work this year! Too bad

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Brother had the same happened to him his last year in the league and he just retired after that but hopefully and Praying he comes back from it.

 

[Bullflop]

The weird quote from Jerry was ..

Jones said. “He’s had an outstanding career."

Sounds like he's possibly considering him done -- we'll see about that in the months to come.
