To get the brass ring you 1st have to be given the oppertunity to do so.
If you ask me those given the chance have earned the chance in the eyes of the coaching staff. Name won't earn it. Draft status won't earn it. College reputation won't earn it. You have to prove to the men who make the roster lineups that you are one of the players that deserves to be out there in uniform on Sunday. If he hasn't proven that, is it their fault?

This is kinda like someone fresh out of college with a degree in their chosen profession. They can't get the job they want because all the good jobs "want XX years of experience". They can't get experience because they can't get the job which requires the experience in the first place.

How is Price supposed to prove anything without being on the field? Was that boneheaded throw from Bledsoe in the Commanders game his chance to prove something? That ain't much of a chance if you ask me.

I don't think that is the case I think it is more of a numbers game trying to place 45 men on the roster to fill all needs for a particular game. I will say when Price gets his chance he has to make the most of it

thats why they ahve training program,s thats why you do low level jobs, right now price is doing a low level job. Practice, untill the coaches feel that Crayton, Glenn Or Key, arent good enough to stay in front of Price, Price will be on te bench. we are not a passing team, and really. who cares if this guy plays or not. our problem isnt at WR. Every game at least 1 of our WR has shone up big. Remeber it was crayton who got us our TD. You dony bench a guy for some FA pickup just because he' makes X amount of moeny, or because he did this X amount of years ago. Our WR crop is fine, our QB and RB is fine, we need better play out of OL and then we wouldnt be asking this stupid question

You're right, because we both know that no player is more attentive in the meetings than price. We both know that in the practices he's outshining everyone. We both know that in the film sessions he has taken over for the coaches because he spots things better than they do.

Come on, no one is that naive.

I agree with you. All I said from the beginning is he has to earn it. If he were the #3 WR there's no issue. At #4 the staff has to weigh him at #4 or someone else who can also contribute on ST. Getting on the field is up to him, not the coaches. He will have to earn it.

Getting on the field has a little more to do with the coaches, once he is on the field it is all on him to make plays if he does he will get more chances if he don't he won't.

True Dooms. To this point he has not got the looks. There has to be a reason. Either he has not passed Crayton or he cannot contribute on ST thus the 45 man limit is keeping him off the field.

Trust me, if he had Terrell Owens talent he'd be active and in the game plans. To this point he obviously isn't impressing them anough to give him the shot.

I agree I think his talent is equal to some of the other starting WR on the team but I think it is a matter of filling needs within the 45 man game day roster.

Yep. That's why I say if he wants on the field HE has to grab the brass ring. Even if that means he makes it himself.

Oh, I didn't know you were at the practices and meetings. I guess since you were, you can tell me who is all those things?

You obviously know what you're talking about, because you think Michael Vick is a great passing Quarterback. We aren't a passing team? What are we then, the Atlanta Falcons? Now that is a real rushing team. Dallas isn't, no matter how bad Purcells wants it to be. We don't have to bench Crayton, bench one of our four running backs. Barber or Thompson sounds good to me.

You're not the coach, so don't tell me what this team needs. Don't say this is a stupid question either. Just because YOU might think it's stupid, doesn't make it stupid. For instance I might think you're stupid, doesn't make it so.

And let me give you a little insight into the real world. In the real world, in most cases, there is no "training program". Low level jobs don't pay the bills. It's sink or swim.

I hope we give this guy a real shot to play a couple games before teh season is out. I really used to like him as a player, and I think he can still do it. Would be a shame to let him go after this season and have him blow up on another team.
