Shango: No More

That's because it is her.

What a lucky guy, had no idea he was married to her. Too bad she's a Vikings fan.

We essentially lucked into Frederik, because Jerry pulled the trigger last minute saying they don't want Floyd. This by-pass was because of Marinelli and the defensive coaching staff, while Garrett and Tom were clueless. The fact that the disconnect between the scouting department headed by Stephen Jones and guys like Marinelli for at least a month or so is absurd. And look at who they actually targeted in that draft, outside of Frederik, which they didn't really target. It's not something to look highly at.

I've heard that it was Callahan that really liked Frederik and he was rifting with Garrett last year. He is the guy that brought in the zone-blocking schemes and he wanted to bounce in the off-season and his contract expires this year. The scheme is his and he is really the guy behind the running game. When Garrett came, it was power blocking schemes and Houck. Though they have Pollack, I'm not sure if he can continue with the line. Zach Martin was 4th in line to be drafted. Jerry saying they had 3 defensive players targetted that were all taken.

And Romo is about to be at the end of his career, if not for health, which still raises concerns age. And we haven't seen any real movement in the direction of the team, Dallas just NOW putting all it's eggs in one basket.

So Callahan and Marinelli's contract ends this year. I don't think Marinelli will go, but remember, Lovie Smith is at Tampa and he may want his buddy back and there is nothing Jerry can do to stop it. And I don't see any way in hell Callahan returning, after what happened last year and him being want to be interviewed by the Ravens and the Browns as OC. Because of what he has done with the line at Dallas, I just don't see other teams not offering him anything.

Any team that ends up with a really good player that was not the 1st pick that year, got lucky. If the Patriots were so smart, they wouldn't have waiting to the 6th round to take Brady.

At minimum this team should be 2-2 in December. If not, changes should occur (GM, Head Coach - trade for Jim Harbaugh, etc.).

Can we trade Murray and JG for Harbaugh and Justin Smith?

That's called a draft board and drafting.

Every team has this stuff happen every year. Unless you're picking #1 every single year so that you can absolutely pick the first guy on your board chances are you're going to be picking someone who wasn't #1 on your board.

The main point is Dallas was looking for defense in both such cases, not targeting building the OL. This was clear in what they did, scrapping the 3-4 and constantly talking about defense and having defensive players high on the board.

They also say they go BPA as well.

I don't see anything to indicate Dallas is headed for greatness considering this model of 'process'.

Besides the fact Callahan built this line in reality and implementing his scheme and him and Garrett were rifting and the former wanted to leave and the type of OL are built for his scheme, not Garrett's power-blocking, and how our picks went down, when Romo is done, this offense appears to just go bye bye.

Remember, Jerry is putting all his eggs in that basket. If they don't win with him, than what?

The two situations have no relation to each other as far as my point is concerned. Jerry over-ruled last minute despite the BPA the personnel team had on the board was there and Stephen himself said so..
