Real stuff is happening while people fret about a holdout.
DE use their hands a lot. He will not be ready for the 1st game of the season. That's a big lost. But I think Jelks, Joe Jackson, and Armstrong will figure it out.
I said when Witten came back that they should have moved Gathers to DE. His brother was an All American DE and GTech sack leader.
The Cowboys knew he was not going to be a TE with Witten, Jarwin, and Schulz. I use to love when the Cowboys had a Head Coach that could project athletes to positions i.e. Tuieni from DL to LT, Pat Donovan from DL to LT, Cornell Green from basketball to All Pro DB, and Rayfield Wright from Basketball/TE to Hall of Fame OT. We have nothing but a clapper at HC.
We saw this before with Martellus Bennett, Jimmy Smith, Danny Amendola, Ryan Switzer, Matt Moore, and Dwayne Harris. If you are not a Jones favorite, you are not going to get played or stick around in Dallas.
I do not know how you can not use a 6-5-285, 4.65 40yd, 35 inch vertical jump athlete for the easiest to learn sport ever invented at DE, OT, DT (4/3), TE, or FB/HB. On defense line all you had to tell him is go get the ball (a basketball player natural instinct).
