Recap: Talkin Cowboys 3/19

[Hoofbite]

For being a disciple of Ratliff?

What does that even mean?

• Broaddus: I watched him in non Marinelli system and it wasnt the same player. He needs Marinelli

.

This is what I've been saying on here for 2 weeks. I don't trust this guy without Marinelli.

Im sure a guy like Leon Lett has learned the system by now if Marinelli decides to walk. But i have a feeling Marinelli is in Dallas for few yrs. Its the system that uses Meltons strengths.

Chicago went in a totally different direction this past yr on defense. More traditional 4-3

 

[Nightman]

give me

Dee Ford
Davante Adams
Telvin Smith
Ben Gardner

In the first four rounds and i think the Cowboys are in the playoffs this yr.

Is Ford a 3 down guy? I heard people say they don't like him in the first.

Do you think Smith is big enough to play the WLB in the NFL?

 

[jobberone]

Perhaps, but you have to admire his gumption. He was a scrapper!

I liked your post but his hustle and $5 will get you a decent frappe....maybe.

It's not only the system LM, it's the personality and coaching style of Marinelli. Trust me, I went to school with Henry. I know what kind of guy he is. He's not a bad guy or criminal or anything, he just really needs to be pushed constantly. As long as Marinelli is here, he'll be good. Otherwise, if we clean house we need to let him go too.

Whos to say lett couldnt? Think fans need to get that whole clean house word out of their system. Jerry is never going to clean house. He will spend every dime he can to win that yr. Wrong or right he's going to spend.

Why cant he be a 3 down guy? Why cant he but Donald can? Ford was a 3 down guy in the sec, by far the best conference in college.

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

Tuitt and Hagemen fit in this league with some huge upside (pun intended) like Brockers/Watts/Poe and other big men who seem to have stepped in from College without missing a beat.....Dee Ford @ 6.2 254 for DE?... better look to Athletic Ealy for 4/3 DE who is 274lbs and 6.4ht..

 

[waving monkey]

When the Cowboys signed McClain and Mincey, many on the board started crying the Cowboys had failed. Now with the signing of Melton FA is a success. I don't think anybody on the board knows the Cowboys plan for FA and the draft. Once FA is over and the draft is completed, then everything comes into focus and a much better judgment can be made about the success/failure of FA. So far, who can really criticize what has been done? FA is still in the third quarter and the draft is still several weeks away.

It doesn't matter what Dallas does the first blush is to scream foul. I guess it makes the mob feel knowledgeable.

If we miss the playoffs for a 5th straight year, every coach is being replaced.

Lett could possibly do it but Marinelli is a special personality and motivator.

 

[theSHOW]

So they were not sexy moves. They were prudent moves. Why be critical of that unless you just want your daily shot at ___________________ (fill in the blank).

I could see the Cowboys not drafting a DT. I wouldnt really like that idea but it could happen. I think Dallas has plans for Mincey to play more then just DE but that 3tech too.

RD1 Dallas i think has a play at BPA, even if its WR or QB.

If one of the top QBs fall i think they would jump on him.
If Evans fell i think they would get alot of calls to trade with BAL right behind DAL.
A player like Zack Martin would further solidify a up and coming OL and allow Bernadeau to go back to backup, and even backup C.
Mosely or Barr would be a pick Dallas could really use to improve.
Even in a trade down i could see them picking up a LBer in Shazier. Or a DE in Ealy or Crichton.

I really think DT is off the books for DAL in RD1.

they had Zach Martin on Sirius this afternoon and he said he had been ND's emergency center the last 3 years. Did not know that - must mean he practiced at that position but did not play

 

[Mr Cowboy]

McClain said he can play both defensive tackle spots in a 4-3 defense and he's also versed in the 3-4 scheme. He likes Marinelli's role for him as the three-technique along the line that was boosted by the signing of Henry Melton on Tuesday.

"Just the fast-paced, get off the ball, get after the quarterback every play," McClain said of Marinelli's defensive scheme. "If you have good quickness off the ball and good footwork you can rally make a difference in the system."

sounds to me we need to find some competition for Hayden.

 

[manster4ever]

good recap Latin Mind: the tidbit I liked best was Evans being there at 16, and I REALLY think he will. I'd love to trade down again. Our last two drafts have been better and we need alot of help on our defensive front. I see this as a real option on draft day. Can't wait.

 

[manster4ever]

I have no problems with any moves the Cowboys have made thus far inthe offseason.

Me either...not in love with Weeden but he's a third stringer for now and was cheap. It's been solid overall. Someone has gotten into JJ's ear. Archer claims it's his son. Don't know or care, just hope it continues.

 

[jazzcat22]

Oh I wouldn't be surprised if the Cowboys do not draft a DT in the first round.

If I had to vote, I'd go with a trade down and a DE chosen in round 1.

I can see them waiting until the 3rd, get Will Sutton.

 

[Deep_South]

Yeah, that is probably the politest way possible of putting it.

 

[Beast_from_East]

Sounds like Spencer might be done with that knee, they said he was nowhere near being able to play.


Unless its for vet min, no way am I giving Spencer a new contract coming off micro.

 

[LatinMind]

i didnt know that, IMO he'd be the best option at 16
