Question: Greg Hardy is a Cowboy next season: True or false?
Jon Machota: At this point, I'll say true. I think he's rubbed enough people the wrong way nationally that his stock won't be too high. (Well, unless he averages two sacks a game for the rest of the season.) The Cowboys have demonstrated that they're willing to put up with the off and on the field distractions Hardy can bring. The other part is that I think Hardy really enjoys playing in Dallas and playing for Rod Marinelli and Jason Garrett. If everything is relatively close in terms of contract numbers, I think he'd give the Cowboys the edge.
Question: What's your take on Randy Gregory & how the Cowboys are using him? There was high expectation placed on him & he was playing well before his injury. I know he was eased back into games but I don't he is playing enough snaps & is almost a non-factor at the defensive end
Jon Machota: If Gregory had been drafted by a team with more question marks along the defensive line, he'd likely be playing more. He's just not going to take reps away from Greg Hardy. So as of now, he's used in passing situations when Hardy is moved inside or over to the left end. But it's also bigger than just playing time. Suffering that high ankle sprain in the season opener slowed the process with Gregory. I think he's starting to get back to where he feels healthy and like his old self. And I think that's why the Cowboys have been trying to get him more work each week. Gregory played 10 snaps against Seattle three weeks ago, 13 snaps against Philly two weeks ago and 22 snaps last Sunday in Tampa...
