Waters will not play Sunday

Nothing. The issue is more conditioning. That is why Cook could play. He was in shape.

Hopefully you guys have that out of your system and we can talk about Waters again.

I don't think he plays. Contract, out of shape, yada. Not even sure what the line up will be.

all of this.....

...especially the part about that he likely doesn't play...if he does, I would think that Tony's cadence could cause him to jump early since he isn't accustomed to it yet...I would still take my chances there

The incentives are likely easy to reach. But really, would you pay 3 mill a year for a probowl caliber guard?

Here is a hint. In two years we've paid Bernardeu over 6 mill. In two years we've paid Nate Livings over 6 mill.

Yes I would pay a Pro Bowl caliber gaurd 3 mill however I think the contract of 1.5 for a 36 year old gaurd who has not seen the field in over a year is the right call for the Cowboys. I hope Waters lives up to the expectations that people are placing on him and I hope he gets his 3 mill but I will not sit here and say this is a sure thing. I don't know how he will play, I don't know how he will hold up. Believe me I too have high hopes but I also think Jones handled this correctly you don't just hand out a big contract because a player wants it. That has not always been the case with Jerry

 

[Doomsday101]

You mean the player has to agree to terms? Are you telling me that Jerry isn't omnipotent? Don't tell that to some of these guys... they will tar and feather you.

I'm saying it takes 2 to tango and while it is easy to dump on Jerry without knowing what took place in negoitions what was being demanded, what was being offered and what the final deal was this just becomes a case of people spinning based on their own bias. Bottom line for me Dallas was interested in Moore and Waters they were in contact and they got Water signed. Pretty much end of story.

Conditioning may or may not be an issue with Waters, but I was only addressing the playbook concern.

Cook was in training camp with the Dolphins. And was with us for less than two weeks, and still played after Costa's injury in the first series. Waters will play, probably after the first series IMO. To confuse the Giants front four...

In listening to his interview yesterday, he said something along the lines, getting ready physically is going to be tougher then the mental part.

I was teasing in my earlier post. But for those to say Jerry had the authority to make Waters sign at a certain time is a bit far fetched, when there are two parties involved.

 

[Verdict]

I guarantee you Jerry thinks he is omnipotent.

Did you mean impotent?

Did you mean impotent?

No don't think so, because if he was, he would already be doing Viagra commercials, selling that little pill with a star on it. Dallas Cowboys branded Viagra for everyone!

My guess is the pill would be a royal blue.

I think it is fair to say that for any player not going through camp or preseason that conditioning is going to be an issue. Hard to get in game shape not playing games
