I love when guys around here say we need to go out and get a ball hawking free safety and a pass rusher.....like they are just out there and available lol. Like other teams wouldn't keep them lol.

I guess there is no point in trades then, wonder why teams even do it.

Well.....they really don't. :lol: There's a few trades a year at BEST. I'm trying to think the last time a dominant pass rusher or even a good pass rusher was availbale for trade.....

:huh: I'm a fan, as such I have absolutely no influence with the front office to effect any of those things. I think those of you that concern yourself with such details at this point in the season have too much time on your hands and/or think too highly of your own opinions.

Moore is not a concern what so ever because he will never have a meaningful snap this season. Dak is invincible... I know, by saying that I'm daring fate.

19 years old? An early Happy Birthday wish to the soon to be 20 year old.

I'll be at Frisco ready to take notes when the last part of Training Camp is held there next month. That's when some of these question will be in my mind. Until then I'm not going to concern myself with the minutia of this team unless I hear Zeke has been suspended or Dak breaks a leg.

Cheers!

I understand but memories are tricky things. Chandler Jones was traded in 2016, so was Barkevious Mingo. Jamie Collins was traded in 2017, so was Kony Ealy. Sheldon Richards was on the trade block in 2016 and right before draft in 2017.

Not saying we will luck out with another Charles Haley, but that happened because Cowboys were as trade happy as the Pats are now, always looking for talent and former 1st rounders/pro bowlers. Many fans here are the anti-Jimmy/Belichick, content to do nothing.

It was never about the "if's" you have the power. It was mostly about how you just dang feel about the situation? The front office is real...this is more about the "Where are we now and what would you do crowd". I'm well aware we are just along for the ride.

Why assign emotion to any of that? What can you do about it? None of it matters a hill of beans so why concern yourself?

1. Is everyone besides Floaty good with Kellen Moore as the back up? NO

2. Is Alfred Morris just a Camp Body incase McFadden get injuried? YES

3. Is this Jameill Showers last training camp? YES

4. Did you guys know Noah Brown was just 19 years old? NO

5. How raw is Rico Gathers at this point? As raw as newborn sushi

6. Who has the best shot at left guard Cooper or Green? Cooper - he's healthier

7. Can we please Just take Randy Gregory off the roster? Ticks me off every time I see his name. No. They have him for dirt cheap for two more years, and based on his potential, they're not going to get rid of him until then

8. Why is Zach Woods #100 on the roster? WHO?

9. How long can L.P. Ladouceur snap the ball? He is 36 now half century, baby!

10. If and it's a BIG if Sam Irwin-Hill beats out Chris Jones in camp,how many of you will use the phrase on a bad punt "What in the Sam Hill was that?"

what say you? Don't worrie it's almost over these silly threads will go away.. Not publicly at least.

Adding to your list:

1) Sign another LB like Orr/Washington
2) Trade for a legit pass rushing threat, or 2

I do think adding an lb is a possibility, but pass rusher is low unless someone gets cut from a 53 man roster. I do believe if someone is made available before the trade deadline and Dallas hanst been successful in getting more pressure they pull the trigger... We will see..

You consider those guys to be good pass rushers? Chandler Jones i'll give you. I honestly forgot Pats gave him away.......

I have no problem with them doing it or looking for help from other teams.....I just think you have to be careful in wishing for it. Teams just simply aren't going to give up on good players.Even in Chandler Jones the Pats didn't want to pay him which is why he got dealt. They considered him replaceable.

And I don't know if I recall the Cowboys ever being trade him when they were contending. IF there's a Charles Haley out there to trade for then let's go get him.

Abe, I know that your dislike of me runs deep but your patronizing tone doesn't make you right. Trading for an upgrade at DE is not a fantasy. Just because you are unable to contemplate it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Yeah. Trades like this go down all the time!

I have no idea who you are, I don't dislike you - I just call out unrealistic posts. But please, pretend it is about something personal rather than me blasting an unrealistic fantasy.

1. Is everyone besides Floaty good with Kellen Moore as the back up? Hell yea

2. Is Alfred Morris just a Camp Body incase McFadden get injured? Probably, that'd be my guess.

3. Is this Jameill Showers last training camp? Why keep the experiment going?

4. Did you guys know Noah Brown was just 19 years old? Wow had no idea. I haven't really cared to much about him, but being 19 means he has ALOT of upside

5. How raw is Rico Gathers at this point? Probably still very raw but seems like everyone who watches him is impressed so who knows

6. Who has the best shot at left guard Cooper or Green? Cooper? I guess

7. Can we please Just take Randy Gregory off the roster? Ticks me off every time I see his name. Can we just make weed legal...

8. Why is Zach Woods #100 on the roster? I. Don't. Know... because reasons...

9. How long can L.P. Ladouceur snap the ball? He is 36 now. Really?!?! Idk but take him off the roster and the average age of the team probably drops 10 months lol

10. If and it's a BIG if Sam Irwin-Hill beats out Chris Jones in camp,how many of you will use the phrase on a bad punt "What in the Sam Hill was that?" I hate obvious word play... if one person says it, it's been over used...

what say you? Don't worrie it's almost over these silly threads will go away..

Really... no. A Wikipedia page lists him as 19 but DC.com, NFL.com and the Brugler draft guide all list him as 21. He played three seasons at Ohio State, so if he is really 19 he enrolled at OSU when he was 16.

Yea, the Wikipedia page has to be a mistake. If he is actually 19yrs old, people would have mentioned it every time his name came up during the draft process.

The offense bogged down big time when Alfred Morris came in. I had high hopes for him but I hope we don't see him any this year.

None of this will be straightened out until during or after camp. Not before.
