The Mincey Thread

I think Ellis especially young Ellis was not much better than where Crawford is right now. I'd put him above Mincey but Melton is also a superior player.

I really like Crawford, but Ellis was a first round pick for a reason. Even later in his career they had him playing 3-4 OLB. I dont know if Crawford could pull that off.

I think Crawford is a better 3-4 end than 4-3 end. He has problems using his hands to get off of blocks and prefers to use power.

Agreed.

I think he's similar to Mincey... just with more upside. Crawford probably shouldn't be out there at DE on passing downs.
 
Honestly, I'd rather see Crawford at LDE and Selvie at RDE. Also think that Mincey might be better at DT at least in the nickle....Broaddus says he has more pass rush from the inside than the outside.

Problem with that is we really have no other DE's unless Boatright and Bush can do something.
 
I'm sorry but I refuse to get riled up over a few snaps in the 1st preseason game of the season. I REFUSE TO. I'm not willing to put Weeden in the Pro Bowl after his performance just as much as i'm not willing to cut Mincey over his.

I think Crawford is going to start for them anyway. It just depends where at. IF he doesn't start he'll definitely get a lot of reps. Cowboys think highly of Crawford.

Amen! We all have a great deal of respect for what D-Ware accomplished as a Cowboy but his name/reputation alone did not inspire confidence last season.

Right. If anyone wants to debate his career i'll fight in his favor until the end. But I have to giggle at the people bringing up his name as if his production wasn't replaceable last year. We've been saying "Wait until Demarcus gets healty..." for the past 2 or 3 seasons.

He may get healthy in Denver but for us? He was a shell of himself.

It's ok.

We're going to use a rotation and replace Demarcus Ware.

And if you are going to do that, you might want to start with someone else other than a player like Mincey.

I am in agreement with others, he needs to go to the strongside and rotate with Crawford. Selvie is the closest thing we have to a rusher and he needs to be out at RDE.

Mincey simply cannot compete with quality NFL LTs.

Well, I honestly don't care how he gets to the passer, as long as he gets there. If he pancakes the OT, as he did with Parnell, and gets there - who cares? And he will learn more moves, he will get better. And he's far and away better than Mincey right now. Bigger, stronger, faster, quicker, works harder, more of a leader. He is Canadian though.

I could see Crawford turning into a Jim Jeffcoat type player. At the very least, Tony Tolbert. I think he's a perfect fit for SDE and a much better fit than Mincey at the WDE.
 
I like the sound of a Jeffcoat/Crawford comparison.
