One less option for us

 

[canters]

I forgot he is a FA. We are so thin here you would think we would have signed him by now.?

 

[RS12]

They can have him.

 

[Bowdown27]

They can take him. He didn't do well.

 

[phildadon86]

sign him and use him in the trade for Peterson haha. Sorry i had to

 

[JohnsKey19]

Potentially Selvie, Spencer and Melton are gone. Obviously you have to expect at least one starter from the draft. Probably a much larger role for 1-2 of the young guys acquired last year. Looks like an extremely young DL next season.

 

[Knotamus]

bye Falicia...

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

he was horrible last year.

 

[StylisticS]

For such a horrible defense, teams are very interested in some of the Cowboys players.

 

[Knotamus]

There's only two guys I'd like back: Rolando McClain- at the right price of course, he was simply dynamic and a game changer/ Anthony Spencer: he was just starting to come on strong toward the end of the season and I personally believe he owes it to JJ being that the Cowboys were there for him the whole time he recovered.

Agree, Selvie is just another one of our average to below average guys on the DL that can be replaced with another name. The sum of its parts was better than the individual parts. That's the problem, we need to add some impact, special players-----I think we have some on the roster that need an opportunity to show it, but I definitely was/am hoping for a impact, dominant DE......knowhatImean.....bring some nasty and edge to the front 4.

 

[Alexander]

No. Not The Bricklayer. Please. Stop.

I saw somewhere that they were interested in mcclain too.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

I saw somewhere that they were interested in mcclain too.

 

[Dave_in-NC]

Hey, we got a Gack!

i read the Packers were in on him, although it may just have been on this board lol

 

[DCBoysfan]

He is a good backup, but that is all he is a backup..

let him go, at least it cancels out the low end players we picked up in the comp pick formula

Selvie had his one year in the sun and now becomes just another mushroom.

Proof that lazy scouting still goes on and not just with this team, but many. I'd like to think this team is doing it's part to get better in that department.
This is McClay's baby now- it seems to me. S. Jones pulls the purse strings, McClay seems to be sorting and giving the player input to him and Garrett. And Jerry is basically doing his drunken ballerina act for the public for his own pleasures.

I'm sure I'm oversimplifying, but this is what it's looking like, given the changes in behavior and the promotions of said individuals into higher offices, or more active roles. The timings of all said is more than coincidental and allowed by J Jones himself.

And since I have established in my own little reality that McClay is running the show with Garrett's input and Steven's purse... stringing and that this team has been operating consistently under their collective philosophy (that S Jones had to change despite his own words to the contrary regarding how the cap should operate) with Garrett and McClay now working things. I'd like to give this approach the shot it deserves.

I read comments like the team is "Moneyballing" like it's a derogatory term for both the team and the fans here that support the philosophy and I understand where some guys like Stasheroo and others are coming from.
The window just opened- you gotta jump!
If you don't jump- there goes our Superbowl!
Just like Denver has been trying to jump the last few years and other teams too innumerable to list who did that very thing and no Superbowl.
Just heartbreak and ruined years as the consequence.

Smouldering ruins and ashes that will take years to rise from.

That's the risk. You can jump, but never is a Superbowl guaranteed.
More likely it leads to long-term ruination, than success.

Long story short since I'm already losing myself the longer I type:
I'd like to see what this new direction does for this team. We've already suffered for two decades doing it one way and "jumping" every chance we could get. I'm willing to see.
I get Romo's window and yet I happen to keep knowing that my Cowboys fandom will outlive his career. Life and football will go on and if this young team can be in a position to do better after Romo's retirement than they were after Aikman's...

Yes.
