Twitter: Taco will not be activated tomorrow

[glimmerman]

This is dumb move with Quinn out. Taco played well in preseason. I wish I knew who don’t like him. No matter how good they are if someone don’t like them then they don’t play. All the time invested and he isn’t going to get a chance to show off. If team see him play well then it’s easier to trade him.

 

[glimmerman]

LMAO! What a joke. A 3rd year DE 1st round pick is "inactive"? Let me guess, rookie DT Trysten Hill will be inactive as well if he keeps way underperforming. Is that a good way to use costly 1st and 2nd round picks... on a bunch of inactives? Way to go Marinelli!

Time for Richard to take over completely.

well if they are trading him then the cowboys already judged him not worthy of a roster spot.

Mike Fischer has successfully predicted 1543 of the last 2 trades, I think its going to take more than one of his tweets to make Taco clean out his locker.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Its obvious they don’t like him. I think the kid can play. He outplayed Armstrong in preseason but they love that dude for something reason.

 

[Teague31]

Broaddus was thinking Hill might be inactive as well. Crawford, Hyder and Jackson can play end or tackle. Taco and Hill can’t

 

[Kaiser]

Ankle probably still bothering him.

Its the ankle and not a reflection on his play. He was dominant against the Texans a few weeks ago.

See you on page 35 of this thread.

 

[cowboyec]

hope Dorance Armstrong uses this as a "Hello World,Im Dorance Armstrong" moment.
or rookie Joe Jackson.

If the ankle is an issue at all then this is the game to miss.

Yep. I wish I knew who it was. I think it’s JG.

 

[JBond]

They are not trading him. That is silly. The Cowboys have a long track record of developing players. This is more about his ankle than anything else.

Ducking when he is traded...

 

[reddyuta]

If the ankle is an issue at all then this is the game to miss.

he is not the injury report,this is looking like a trade about to go down after sunday.

This also indicates to me that Dorance Armstrong has surpassed him on the depth chart. I’ve been advocating that Armstrong will be a pleasant surprise this year. Not to mention Joe Jackson already has outplayed Taco this preseason and is more versatile than Taco.

For those that are still fuming that Dallas wasted a 1st Rd pick on Taco.. make sure you also give credit for drafting Armstrong in the 4th rd and Jackson in the 5th. Throw in Jalen Jelks in the 7th, who I believe is also better than Taco.

Imo..Taco physically should be playing on a 3-4 base defense.

Taco isn't physical enough to play 3-4, he's soft.

I thought the light had come on for this kid. He was balling @ RDE this rpre-season. I don't get it. This isn't about talent. There has got to be something else going on inside that locker room.

Your probably right, but I believe he would have had a better chance to develop in that style defense. Possibly would have gained more weight and been a LE (where he stated himself he’s more comfortable). He’s a better run defender than a pass rusher, which more the responsibilities of a 3-4 LE

 

[Loso86]

I hate Marinelli,idiot screwed us over with Taco and his pet cat Hill is going down the same path,wish he would just retire and leave us alone.

Lol your mad about 1 guy. What about the others that he has brought talent out off

 

[MCMetal69]

What a complete waste of a 1st round pick.................Thanks for nuthin' , Marinelli......................

 

[Loso86]

Taco played very well this preseason. Definitely well enough to make this roster. This is all because there is a trade happening at some point!

JG benched him last season for his attitude. Maybe it’s that again. Or he angered JG and he is just looking for a reason. Sounds like something he would do. If he isn’t icing his kicker or being to conservative.

 

[links18]

Trade him for Antonio Brown!

Oh, wait.

 

[KJJ]

This is the downside of having so much talent on the roster.

It’s also the downside of having a top draft pick not pan out. Into his third year he should be coming into his own not being a healthy scratch.
