honestly, I love it. Rewards for production, cuts if not. We paid our own over achievers and moved on from guys who didnt do squat (or dramatic reduction in pay (IE Shy Tuttle). Players want to play for organizations that reward play, we've been kinda the opposite of that during much of the tepper term, but gotta change the perception at some point.

In fairness, he played with the guys, his job today is a lot different than it was back then. Yea, he knew ball but he wasnt breaking down tape and prospects the way he is now. He always was probably trying to be a good friend/teammate rather than breaking down why those guys are dogshit.

Dont be surprised if this happens, in fact, I REAAALLLY think it will happen. If Jeanty is there at 8 (high probability IMO that he is) then I think Cowboys will get aggressive to move up and get him. Not only is he the best RB in the class, considered the best RB in the draft and according to NFL.com is the single highest graded prospect, but on top of that he's from the Dallas metro, so on top of best RB, Jerry would also sell a ton of jerseys. Last point, Ive noticed over the years, certain GMs feel comfortable trading and working with certain other GMs and organizations, and considering Morgan made a trade of mingo last year with the cowboys tells me theres atleast a line of communication between the orgs.

Man, huddle is rough on that draft and I don't get it. They may not develop, but xl, sanders, and wallace ALL showed flashes of potential as rookies. In fact, I'd say jt sanders was the best rookie te we've ever fielded (I do also agree our history of drafting tight end has been trash, but still). We also got Coker as udfa, and people overlook and forget we swapped a useless 7th round pick for a pretty inexpensive yet decent corner in michael Jackson. Is last year's draft a home run, no, is it bad, so far no.

He is under club control for sure this year and 5th year option the next (there's NO SHOT we don't pick up the option)...so it comes from logic that we still have 2 years of club control of emwonu. Pretty simple.

good thing we have control of ikey for 2 more seasons then

Good move, doesnt stop us from drafting a center, the thing is we realized the importance of a good O-line last year, it was instrumental in Bryce's development, so having O-line depth is good and Corbett is a fine interior lineman.

I've had a boner for Green this entire process once I dug more on him on tape. I think he plays hard and violent and we need that. My only concern is the assault stuff. Seeing and wondering how that goes, however if we've done actual dilligent background work and he clears, we need him in a panthers jersey.

I agree, I think the pick at 8 will be Jeanty, but its gonna be another team picking from a big swing to get him.

God, Reading the write up on Mike Green just makes me want him more. In the weaknesses it has listed Plays so hard that he occasionally runs out of gas. Lol Thats akin to hearing "My biggest flaw is I work too hard"....except its not him saying it, its the analyst lul.

bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter. He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall). I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart. Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er. IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8. Why does that matter? Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro. Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick? Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales? Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is). IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third, maybe a conditional later and we move to 12. We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.

Goes way too overlooked because people just go "Good player good"....IT. IS. ABOUT. SYSTEM! The amount of times that people have seen a good player go to a different team and look like ass is astounding. The reason is its about getting players that match the system you're running. Cam was a god damned monster, but as we saw when we tried running a pocket passing west coast with him, it DIDNT go well. Do I think McConkey could have been good here, sure, but he's a Receiver in the style of Thielan. Look at the offenses that Canales has been associated with (And idzik for that matter), Seattle with DK Metcalf, and Tampa with Mike Evans as the big bodied outside guy as the X. We did not have one of those on the roster. We drafted XL to eventually become that. Its simply the system calls for it. Its not always about just getting the most talented player, its about talent matching what we are trying to accomplish. Will he live up to it? Dunno, but itd be like saying "I was shopping for a truck" and even if you got a regular truck people are like "You could have had this way cooler car"...we werent shopping for a car though.

Truth is, EVEN if he's not, this roster won't win, period. End of discussion. Build. The. Roster. Wanna know why darnold looks good? Because he was a piece in a built roster. We are no where near that.

holy poo, that van ginkle tackle was one of the hardest hits ive seen in years. Gibbs is a tough MFer
