Stephen thinks Porter allows Bland to play his true position and will help Revel develop

[FiveSuperBowls]

Certainly!

 

[jazzcat22]

It's not like it's really just Stephen's opinion, rather what coaches actually told him.

Doesn’t matter really who said it then. We don’t know, nor does it really matter.
I guess it does to the dislikers.

 

[Bamx]

This always worries me when it's Stephen and Jerry speaking when the coach/coaches should be doing the talking. That's why the Cowboys will always be the Cowboys.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Porter outside = Bland back in the slot = more safety for Downs.

Porter could help in three areas.

 

[CWR]

Not a fan of this FO.
But I do have hate on them constantly. And they do know more football than you think they do.
Probably more than most on here.

Same, everything he said makes a ton of sense. Porter will be the boundary corner. Revel could be a clone of Porter and freeing Bland up to make plays on the ball is ideal.

But I guess it's always fun to crap on the Jones boys.

 

[Praxit]

..coach Steph, has spoken. Take heed.

Whatever it takes to unleash the old Bland.

 

[Acceptablename]

What I feel about the FO is they're doing their best to get a team together. You say that in the past and I fault them for that

Blands pick 6 days was when Diggs could handle the boundary side.

That was Gilmore. Prior to Porter, Gilmore was the only true boundary corner the Cowboys had had since T-New. The whole interception bonanza everyone envisioned in the rare circumstance that both Bland and Diggs saw the field together never happened because they were both fundamentally field corners.

 

[MarcusRock]

Which of the three actually has access to coaches and scouts?

Rockport. He's team chaplain and motivational speaker. Once he labeled Parsons a quitter, you saw what happened. The rest of the team took notice.

If you think anything Stephen says qualifies as football talk.....

Why wouldn't he .............he can (probably do) directly talk football with HOFers, legends, former and current players, former and current NFL coaches. Imagine all these being, say, a phone call away. Now what credentials do we have...........

Bland and Diggs great interceptions season was because of the pass rush, mainly Voldemort.

 

[plymkr]

Blands pick 6 days was when Diggs could handle the boundary side.

True. Getting Bland back to a pick 6 machine would be huge

 

[Kevinicus]

Blands pick 6 days was when Diggs could handle the boundary side.

Bland's record year was when Diggs was hurt except for like 1 game.

 

[nate dizzle]

Blands pick 6 days was when Diggs could handle the boundary side.

And Micah was at the qb a second after the ball arrived...

The football master mind Steven Jones working his magic. He and Jerry add to this organization being the laughingstock of the league every time they open their mouth. Are there fans who still buy into their bs?

Absolutely! Steven is the mastermind behind our success the last 30 years!

Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones said on @SASportsStar that talks with the Steelers about Joey Porter Jr. started at the beginning of the season.

“This definitely checks a big box for us. This will allow (Shavon Revel) to continue to develop and learn from one of the best. (They) have the same body type. They’re the same type of players.

“Certainly, I think it’s (also) good for (DaRon Bland). We can put Bland to the field (side) where he can make plays on the ball, which is what he does best. Put Porter in the boundary against some of the top receivers in the league, and he’s proven he can do a good job against those guys.

“It certainly checks a huge box for us. But I think it also makes a statement as to what the organization, the coaching staff, the players, we feel like we got a great football team.”

Maybe it revives Bland a little. He can’t be any worse

 

[Pass2Run]

He absolutely, positively heard the scouts say all of this.

It's true about Revel. Same body type. Porter is more physical. Revel has better ball skills.

Jerry getting 'er done.

You ok? You seem angry!

 

[LonnieElam]

This is the type of response expected. No actual football talk.

He's not wrong, though. I don't know why people here post ANYTHING they say - it's not actual football knowledge. It's two drunk idiots trying to sound like they know what they're talking about, and the sad thing is they believe they DO know what they're taking about.
