News: PFT: Scandrick out for season with torn ACL and MCL

[TheSport78]

The irony that Scandrick suffered such an unlucky injury with contact from a player named Lucky.

 

[d_dub88]

That sucks. He fought all the way to get a starter position and proved to be a good leader. Hope he gets well soon.

 

[Bleu Star]

To some on here corners do not matter.

I hope you understood the extreme sarcasm in my post.

Gotta blame someone.

Blame it on the moonlight, blame it on the boogie!

 

[popp1234]

Like I said before. I can only relax when there is no practice. However, I am sure the guys will carry on.

Not gonna feel too bad. We lost Sean lee last year to this and won 12 games.

This defense is still improve. Feel better O

IIRC, that's 3 consecutive years the Boys have lost a good player on D to injury before the season even began. Last season it was Lee...and the year before that was Crawford. Now it's Scandrick.

Definitely a loss to the D. But there have been other teams such as the Giants, Packers & Panthers (among others), to lose significant players for the year. They just have to deal with it the best they can. Hopefully, guys like Jones, White, etc. can step up.

Wish Oscan the best for a successful surgery & speedy recovery.

Agree. But be forewarned. The media will turn this into a death sentence for the Cowboys and the haters (and some Cowboys fans) will get sucked.

Yeah, it sucks. I wonder if it was the same knee he was having problems with during training camp.

MAke no mistake Scandrick will be missed. He's the only guy on this team you can trust putting on the outside and in the slot and not have a concern. IMO, he's our best cornerback.

BUT, if you had to have a season ending injury for a position........you'd like for it to be cornerback. There are a few guys there who can step it up in Patmon and White. Carr and Claibrone are looking for big comeback years this year.

If the pass rush isn't right this secondary wasn't going to be right anyway so that hasn't changed. This defensive line is what's going to make or break this defense. Even with a Scandrick injury I don't have concerns at corner.

Well make no mistake Scandrick is a BIG LOSS. Someone will have to step up this year. Even last year, no one saw Hitchens, Carter, Durant or McClain stepping up like they did when he went down.

The same thing will have to happen with corner. They are going to need Carr, Claiborne, Patmon, White and Jones all to step up.

 

[ActualCowboysFan]

It's going to hurt. The pass rush may well overcome the loss, but without Hardy for a quarter of the season that early stretch just got a whole lot tougher. Scanny was their best defender at some points last season. Definitely the strength of the secondary. The team plays some good wideouts this season so you'd like to have all hands on deck. Gotta hope White and Jones step up and Carr looks like end of season Carr. I don't like injuries.

Yes, it sucks. But I think we are more equipped to handle such loss than we were last year.

Well I agree they SHOULD be. But i've learned never to assume with the NFL. Like I said in another post though, if there was a position to have a season ending injury to.......it was corner. But they are going to need Carr to be what he was 2 years ago and Claiborne to finally hit his potential or atleast take some solid steps into getting there. Patmon and White should be solid and Jones is a rookie so he'll take his bumps this year.

 

[LucaBrasi]

That sucks for sure. Our best corner and the guy plays with an edge. Gotta hope Carr and Claiborne have improved their games, Jones is the real deal and Corey White continues to play the way he has when the games count. Patmon might be a player too.

Cowboys as deep as they've been there in a long while, but still sucks to lose #32.
