Sounds like a setup to me....NFL testing a guy when he isn't around???? They wouldn't do that...now would they????
Stats aside I disagree with you as well, regardless of where Irving came from, he did jump off the screen and out perform the "starters" everytime he was given a chance, Irving flat out balled while others were relaxing, you got bad eyes
He's a UDFA that the Chiefs didn't deem worthy of their 53, so put they put him on their practice squad. We grabbed him from there because we are desperately short of DEs who don't like bong hits.
Flashing or looking better than our other anemic starters is great. Let me know when he has real production and I will actually count on him to "feast" on other teams.
Like I said u got bad eyes
We all know where ge came from
What is "real production" ? Everytime dude was on the field he whooped someones butt, Dude produced big time, considering, imo, he has leon lett steal potential imo! Lets watch and see but other than D law at the end Irving was the only guy I saw getting "real production"
Youre arguments are dumb and closed minded, Jimmy Smith was let go by the cowboys only to dominate w jax, Lynch wasnt good enough for Buffallo and on and on...dumb dumb philosophy the whole "but, but, kc didnt want him" fact is they were pissed when they lost him and regretted losing him
Bottom line...ten weeks for not taking a piss?
He is in the program. You can not miss a test, a missed test is considered a failed test.
Same thing Le'Veon bell did. Bell blamed it on changing his phone number and didn't know when the test was..
Bell broke one of Babe's golden rules....you may not be responsible but you will be held accountable.
Pardon me NFL scout.
Fact is every team in the league could have had Irving in the draft, or after. Or could have signed him from the Chiefs. There is a ridiculous shortage of good pass rushing DE's in the league.
You are using a very small sample size and your "eyes" to decide that this guy will "feast" on opposing defenses. Not be ok. Not be pretty good. "Feast."
You decide to file that under eye test or whatever you want. I will continue to call it wishful thinking until proven otherwise.
Uh, that's when common sense should take over...again, 10 weeks for a missed test. Immediately retest...such a small window wouldn't affect much when a weekend is involved.
Law is for justice, not a strict rule to trip someone up with...if he was dirty, that would show. If not, then stop with all the 10 week suspension crap.
I understand law, but also have witnessed wisdom as well.
Don't tell me what I know....just because other teams wanted to gamble it doesn't mean it wasn't a gamble....every time I play craps there are a bunch of other people at the table...I guess that isn't gambling either since everyone wants some
3) Elsewhere the GM is held accountable for personnel errors. Not in Dallas. In Dallas it gets a "man in the mirror" comment and nightly screaming into his pillow, like it matters in the long run.
Youre the only guy needs Irving to " feast " lol!
Nobody said hes Haley dude, but if you honestly think he didnt stand out last year and also consistently demonstrated Rare skill, then I stand by my statement that you have bad eyes: ie youre ability to judge talant is awful and talking to you is as much a waste of time as soneone trying to convince me that Pabst is good beer.
Irving us more like a Scandrick imo, regardless of where Claiborne came from or what "NFL Scout" saw, The true Baller was always scandrick, I am a baller so yeah real recognize real, That is me in the avatar (white shorts) playing with Metta "world peace" aka ron artest, went toe to toe with him all day several times. check utube!
so yeah my opinion athletes is probably far superior to youre couch potatoe butt as I can relate
History of Cowboys recent 2nd round picks -
2009 - None, Worst draft in many many years - 1st pick rd. # 3 LBer who did nothing. (Williams I think). The backup draft.
2010 - Sean Lee - injured player, Great LB'er- hurt a lot. RKG.
2011 - Bruce Carter - Looked like Tarzan, played like Jane. 1 contract and moved on. Could not grasp mental side of game.
2012 - Claiborne - Traded up,1st and 2nd round picks - always injured. Team admitted never scouted player as they did not think would be available. Bust.
2013 - Escobar - Picked to play in 12 packages, changed coaches - scraped scheme, waste.
2014 - Lawrence - Traded 2nd and 3rd round picks, suspended 4 games - drugs.
2015 - Gregory - Failed drug test at combine, has failed at least 5-6 tests since, will be suspended 10 games, in drug rehab.
2016 - Smith - will not play all year. Knee. All world potential - will not help team this year.
8 drafts - 10 picks Counting trades, Lee and Claiborne only players at training camp let alone the season. Escobar coming off torn Achilles.
There is something fundamentally wrong with our use of 2nd round picks. This is not on the players, its on the F.O. And obviously nothing has or is changing, see Smith this year.
That is so much draft equity just wasted.....that should be the core of the team now ...
5 failed tests in just over a year.....
This team hasn't hit on a 2nd round draft pick since Flozell Adams in '98.
Sean Lee just turned 30 years old and missed half his career due to injuries, I wouldn't call that a hit.
