Rod Marinelli: David Irving is 'out there eating palm trees'

Rod Marinelli doesn't give compliments often, as rookie Taco Charlton can readily attest.

The first-rounder has drawn the ire of the Dallas Cowboys' fiery defensive coordinator for his lack of impact at points in the preseason and again during the regular season, but if there's someone Marinelli loves to laud -- it's defensive end David Irving. Now back from serving a four-game suspension, Irving professes he was using the downtime to stay in shape, and that included taking boxing lessons as well to help improve his physique and technique.

Now back at practice and preparing for the Green Bay Packers, Marinelli praised Irving's conditioning in a way only he could -- including a fanciful allegation that the veteran pass rusher has been consuming tropical foliage.

"He came in pretty dog-gone good shape," Marinelli said after Thursday's practice, via Brandon George of The Dallas Morning News. "He's bigger. He's out there eating palm trees and stuff, a dinosaur. "He looks solid in practice."...

"They can't block all of us."

He may have a point, considering how difficult it'd be to box out both a Tank and a megalosaurus.

Enough talk and write up on the scrubs we have. Prove it get out there and kick some butt, paper material doesn't cut it.

I know two of them have shown nothing but there's something sexy about a potential young core of taco-irving -Gregory and Lawrence

Me too, in his defense though hes 24 years old and still becoming the player he is. Flashes are a start, lets hope he builds on it now. Sounds like he took the offseason seriously though.

If he dominates Sunday, wins the game single handedly, and wins defensive player of the c week, I'll almost take it.

I don't Irving, Taco, DLaw and co are the problem to worry about Rod!

Over/Under on Green Bay holding Irving and getting away with it..

I'll set it at 3.

Go

I think this is super important. Sounds like he is taking himself seriously, ready to own his mistakes, and take action on the field.

Lol you do realize you're on a Cowboys forum right? Literally the only objective here is to "talk".

So...Marinellie is calling him a gorilla? I remember a day when Howard Cosell called Joe Washington a monkey....and they almost had to put Cosell in witness protection. Boy have times changed.
