He needs to get healthy. He has had some bad moments here and there, but his absence is significant and the drop off when he's not out there is very noticeable.

I mean I think Mo really wants to be on the field too and I think he is not taking his injuries any easier than we are. I feel for the guy and hope he can find a way to stay healthy going forward as a Cowboy.

No mistaking that but I think that's more because Webb is so completely lost out there.

Glad to hear that they finally brought Moore back.

I would much rather see him out there over Webb.

I would much rather see Randy White, Bob Lilly, Too Tall Jones, and Charles Haley on the d-line than anyone the Cowboys could potentially field in the secondary. I doubt even Renfro and Prime Time would look outstanding with this current d-line playing in front of them.

I see the secondary as the bigger issue. I think Marinelli is working magic up front.

I agree that there are weaknesses in the secondary but asking Webb to cover his man while Manning goes through several progressions is asking a little much.

Dallas is not generating enough consistent pressure on the QB and the secondary is having to work harder to maintain coverage. They need more magic from Marinelli.

I don't know what else the guy can do.

But, to me, Webb just looks clueless out there. Deer-in-the-headlights, rookie lost. I think it's best if they can keep him off the field until next season. If they still feel he's worth keeping and investing in.

The star on his helmet.

Anyone being honest has to admit he's been a huge disappointment. This guy was a #6 overall pick who also cost us our second rounder.

There's no debating that the return on investment isn't close to being there.

But I do cut him some slack due to the scheme change.

I think it was a dumb move on the team's part to invest so heavily in corners only to change to a Tampa 2 defense.

I'm more bothered by his constant injuries and, even more, Steven Jones having to call him out each of his first two years for not practicing through minor injuries. And that attitude is what the OP was referring to. That's not a good sign at all.
