We still have a chance for Walter Thomas!

[Cowboys22]

He didn't get drafted so we may still get him in camp. I think if he's smart he would give the Cowboys a serious look because all he has to do is beat out Stanley!

 

[NickZepp]

He's played something like 12 college games in 3 years. I don't know if he is a good project.

Precisely. No one does. Why not bring him in for a look. If he sucks, or we don't think we can get his weight down to a reasonable tonnage, then we kick his arse out of the building. Should we just ignore the fact that we have very little depth at NT?

 

[jobberone]

He's interesting but there is a reason he wasn't drafted. We have no idea what his interview might be like. It very well may be less than optimal. If they bring him in then I'll be pulling for him. He certainly has the height and weight. Is he strong and quick besides some speed which he'd seldom if ever use.

 

[NickZepp]

I don't think we have the depth problems other people think we have. We need 1 or 2 DTs a game. And we have about 4 on the roster right now I think. We may get one in free agency. That's plenty for this year. If it's a need for next year we have 2 first round picks to get one(same with the WR)

The NT is the one thing about this draft that I was dissapointed in...




It's not a sexy pick, but, it's a very important position! I guess I will trust that Wade has his plans?

 

[CrazyCowboy]

Hey, something must be wrong with this guy, but I agree we should just take a chance.

This is not about DT's...it's about a NT....!

 

[CF74]

Bring him in and let him bump heads with Gurode & Davis at the same time for an hour

you would need a forklift for that

 

[big dog cowboy]

We must like M. Stanley to not have drafted a NT.

yep, character concerns, the fact that he's only going to get bigger at already 370, and very limited experience

We have Ferguson and Stanley (a guy that we released last year, and resigned for depth, mind you).

Plugging in undersized or taller guys like Ratliff and Hatcher is not the answer to replacing an aging NT. We NEED a guy to become a starter...and soon. If it's Stanley, then fine. I doulbt it, however, as he's already been released once (showing our indifference should another team pick him up) and he's relatively small for a 3-4 guy. If his track record with NT is any indicator, Phillips tends to like bigger guys.

 

[neosapien23]

Quinton Echols might also be worth a look. I would love to see Dallas bring in both Echols and Thomas and have them both battle it out with Stanley. Dallas could then take the best one out of three. Ratliff could then be moved back to his natural DE spot. I know everyone has stated how BP did not let Spears or Canty rush, but both Ratliff and Hatcher seemed to get enough pressure. I would not be surprised if both Spears and Canty lose their jobs next season.

ther was a defensive tackle tackle taken by i believe carolina in the 4th or 5th round his name was marcus thomas. i am curious if this can't be the guy we read about from mickey. just a question if any body knows for sure please clear that up for me.

 

[burmafrd]

Two differerent Thomas's. The marcus thomas was a real mess as regards charactor concerns. Walter Thomas, the human eclipse, has fewer charactor concerns and is a lot bigger at 6-5 370. Can squat 800 lbs and bench 525.
Can do a backflip. The picture I saw indicated very little fat- maybe 20 lbs.
Certainly worth an interview and tryout.

 

[cowboybacker4life]

thank you for that

 

[UDcowboysfan]

Well now we just need to call jerry and tell him about this guy.

 

[smarta5150]

I hear this guy is so big a team was forced to use 2 draft picks on him... is that why he went UD?
