Wade: Barber has a broken thumb, Ware stress fracture in foot

[Hoofbite]

I doubt it. Our trainers and coaches are completely lost. How does Felix get diagnosed 2 weeks last year then the next week they say he's out for the year? Why is Barber going to wear a freaking cast on his hand when we don't need him to play?

You want more proof? Just look at Ware going back into the game in Tampa. Dude was out cold for a few seconds and they let him waltz back in there.

 

[SLATEmosphere]

They need Barber for more than just running the ball, Slate.

Pass protection? Because how do you catch a ball consistantly with a cast on your hand? Baffling.

How can Barber catch passes if he's pass blocking for Romo? ah-MAZ-ing!

+1

Barber is the best guy to have in when it's 3rd and long and we are passing in our trips shotgun formation, if you have watched all the games to include preseason you would know that Barber is a WAY better pass protector than Choice and Felix combined. It's called putting players in the best chance to succeed.

Ya seriously. He's got a concussion and they just throw him back out there.

The training staff is a joke and I blame them for all the lingering injuries they have. Why is Barber always coming up lame now?

Well you said he can do more than run the ball.

I asked pass protecting, then I went to the next phase of catching the ball.

What other phase does that leave? Pretty much that covers them all.

You don't have a clue as to what you're talking about. You've never ordered tests, interpreted them, and clinically correlated them. You have no advanced degree in medicine. You are talking out of your ***.

We should probably step back from this thread, and evaluate the true source of our anger. It probably isn't our fellow posters.

Those with an emotional investment in this team (a group that includes all of us) can't help but be frustrated by the past 13 years.

On game days, we shout in dismay at the television set. We kick and stomp our feet. We use this board as a catharsis for our anger and frustration.

But, eventually, we realize the Cowboys organization is completely deaf to our cries and lamentations. It simply doesn't hear us. So, we redirect our anger and hostility towards objects that can hear us and do respond accordingly -- each other.

Was it a stinger or concussion?

Barber gave it his all on the Giants came and he pulled his quad trying to take a carry to the house. Felix has been in and out of the training room since the TB game on the kickoff return. Barber can still stay in to block so why would you want to take a gamble with Choice who has shown IN PRESEASON mind you that he has trouble picking up a blitzer.

Oh gawd here we go. Completely dodging the question and going straight for attacks.

I don't need to have a degree in medicine to know that our training staff is a piece of ****.

You just wasted 8 years of your life going to med school.

Wait. Hold the phone.

Define "we".

So, you understand that a designed pass play could have Barber in solely to pass block, yes?

 

[jobberone]

Just don't pontificate about something when you have no clue and you won't get your *** stomped. It's the same garbage out the mouths of the same posters all the time. Excuse me if I get fed up with it after listening to it for months and then decide enough is enough.

Not that most will feel in the least annoyed much less embarrassed. I'm merely mildly annoyed and mostly just setting the record straight. It amazes me how many times and how often people retort with cries of stupidity on the part of the organization when in fact it's them that is being stupid and ignorant.

Excuse the rant and go back to the status quo.

Coming from you that's high praise. Do you even have the slightest idea how juvenile and ignorant you sound? Any clue? It's the same stuff with different words all day every day. Get a new act.

 

[SLATEmosphere]

lol yes.

But why play the guy when he's going to have a greater risk of damaging it worse or fumbling the ball?

Which is what I was saying in the first place. We got Felix and Choice!

 

[ScipioCowboy]

It's a general "we" in reference to the board as a whole.

Of course, that's not to say my posting applies to every single board member.

We all know -- at least on a purely intellectual level -- the Cowboys organization is unconcerned with and largely unaware of our individual opinions. But this knowledge doesn't make it any less frustrating.

 

[DallasEast]

lol yes.

Both of whom do not pass block as well as Barber. That's the point of playing an injured Barber during certain pass plays.

I like my act.
