Start The Pups

[Dodger]

We could root for this team. Am I right?

I know I would.

 

[Gaede]

We could root for this team. Am I right?

You are right. If anything, at least us fans would have some reason to watch the rest of the year.

 

[CATCH17]

This may or not be important, but do we currently have a QB on the practice squad? Just wondering in case Kitna and McGee ended up getting hurt. Considering our luck this year....

I don't think so but we most likely have an emergency QB. Someone that we don't know about who played in Highschool.

Or...


Nothing but Wildcat if both QB's go down.

 

[craig71]

I don't think I would start McGee. Kitna has a better grasp of the offense and that should allow for a better evaluation of players such as Dez. I think McGee needs some playing time this season, I just think I would wait a little longer before throwing him out there.

Hey, at least Tashard would get in the game then

Definetely...

If you're going to give him snaps this year i'd tell him to start preparing for the Saints on Thanksgiving.

 

[CCBoy]

Hell, we have an open spot, bring up Brewster too.

OL = Free, Bright, Costa, Brewster, & Young

Sorry, Hos...on this one I have to disagree for one unobvious reason. They all five would then hold out next season, expecting to be paid like Super Stars like those they replaced.

 

[aikemirv]

I would send a message to the veterans on this team this week.



I would waive Barron and bring up Travis Bright. Bring up Brewster to fill the spot left by Jason Williams

OL = Free, Bright, Costa, Brewster, & Young

Backfield = Choice

Start Dez

Start McGee


DL = Lissemore, Brent, & Ratliff

LB = Butler, James, Lee, & Ware

S = McCray & Church



Yes, I'm serious. If the veterans want their jobs back tell them to take them back.

I understand the sentiment, but if you bench Spencer I think you have to bench Ware also. Spencer did a decent job on Sunday and got a sack. Ware on the other hand did not get much pressure and did not maintain the edge on two big Jones-Drew running plays. He also got lost in pass coverage on a big play.

Caveat ( I was watching in person and did not have the benefit of replay to judge Spencer) - I just noticed the 3 big plays on Ware. Really, IMO, an example of a guy trying to do too much.

I love Ware but if you are sending a message you better send the right one.

And Kitna had a great game! You benching Miles?

That's a short week. If it were me I would wait until after Thanksgiving, he would have a few extra days to prepare himself before the next game.

[Dodger]

Regarding McGee, either way I think the point is to get him some playing time this season whether that's in the second half of games or letting him start later this year. The kid should get some playing time. I think we all can agree on that.

 

[Bill Wooten]

Like the idea of going young. But I don't know what Kitna has done to deserve to be benched.

I'd go young around Kitna if for only one reason. And that's that poor play from the QB spot just kills the whole team. See 2nd and 3rd Q's of the Giants game.

If you play McGee and he's terrible, you won't get good work in with all the other youngsters you're playing.

Perhaps I'd look to play McGee for part of the game.

Would poor QB play really matter at this point?

If you go with this approach (which I'm all for), you're not playing to win the game. You're playing to send a message to the vets that their jobs are not guaranteed and evaluate your younger talent.

This approach is not in the best interest of this season, it is in the best interest of the future of the franchise.

My guess is Goodell would throw a fit if Dallas did this on Sunday Night Football. Just one more reason to do it.

Craig

Yeah I just don't want his 1st start to be on the road.

 

[craig71]

Point taken.

[Hoofbite]

I don't wanna start McGee.

Dallas isn't in the market for a QB of the future right now (not like McGee would be the guy anyhow) and I think it's foolish to basically raise the white flag just to see if a guy is backup material.

Not to mention he isn't ready. He barely survived camp.

Actually yes. There would be utter frustration!

One saving grace from Sunday was the fact that as bad as the D played, if Miles, Felix and Roy hang onto 3 balls that were right in their mits and Barber extends the ball we are in the game and it is watchable as a fan. I stayed for the whole game because I drove 19 hours to get there. If I was from Dallas I probably would have been gone at the end of the 3rd!

 

[Joe Realist]

I get it..call it, " Return to Pre-Season " !!!!!!!

I don't either for the reason you stated.

 

[diehard2294]

I agree with the principle Hos.... I would still start Kitna though and Brewster ehhh ... The sad part is wade or jer won't do it....as fans I think we would feel better if this was his change as opposed to firing clueless

I'm well beyond the point of utter frustration.

Can't imagine how you feel after driving 19 hours to see this joke of a team.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

I guess the goal really is that #1 pick.
