It sounds like a good thing. The old way wasn't working out so well.

We disagree on this and that's o.k. For me, the Carr Claiborne acquisitions remind me of the guy who really wants a luxury car. The guy goes out and buys a great Mercedes. He pays market value. And it is a truly wonderful car (Carr). Then a few days later, the same guy finds out he can...

Jerry may be foolish, but the debate isn't. What we are talking about here is how the resources might have best been used, not whether Jerry would have used them in the best way. I've heard some people argue that the Cowboys' 2nd round pick doesn't have much value because Jerry has so...

I agree. The team's general apathy about their OL is frustrating to see.

Right, bk, and then there is the Center position. Iamtdg mentioned it in another recent thread. The team has done a very poor job of addressing that position. Sure, there were three candidates. One has sufficient experience, but not enough ability. The other two had little experience with...

It isn't that the Cowboys spent too much to move up in the draft. It is that they allocated too many resources to the CB position (for 2012). Look, the Cowboys could have had Dre Kirkpatrick and Knoz for what the Cowboys spent on Claiborne. If you are telling me that the Cowboys have a lot of...

I get your math cmd. I was saying the same thing at the time of the draft. Newman had to be replaced. That was obvious. So the Cowboys picked up Carr (who didn't come cheap ... he required a significant expenditure of resources). Claiborne also came at a very high cost. Given that the...

After listening to Jerry here, it seems clear that Jerry is currently hoping that that the starting interior OL will consist of Dockery and Livings at OG and Bernadeau at Center. He said that he liked that Dockery, Livings, and Bernadeau are big, "give you a good base," and "have long arms."...

He overeats and throws himself in his work. That's how he copes. That's how he lives. It is probably all that he knows to do. It strikes me as rather sad.

That's exactly how I feel about it. Absolutely correct. That's what it sounds like. And why not? After all, the position isn't "totally foreign to him.” Apparently that's the criterion for starting at Center. You are good to go so long as the position isn't totally foreign to you.

The Pool signing must have had Ryan's support. Its gotta sting a little when the guy you recommended fails miserably. Good for you. I think you are right; looks like the kid is earning a place for himself.

Sure, but at least the team cut him as it became apparent that he wasn't performing. In years past, Jerry didn't always seem to do that.

I'd like to think that this has more to do with Church playing really well than Pool playing poorly. (but obviously Pool didn't play well) There are a couple of ways to look at Pool getting cut. On the downside, the Cowboys apparently misjudged Pool ... thinking he might plug a hole when he...

Call me crazy, but I'd prefer MSW over David Little.

MSW isn't going to make the ProBowl, but I'd be happy for the Cowboys to sign him. I like the idea of a guy who has some playing experience. He's serviceable. Can't say that with confidence about the other nonstarters.

It looks like Moe, Larry and Curly (or Shemp) to me. I hate to mix metaphors (or analogies, or, more accurately, competing visions of negativity), but this OL situation has a rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic feel to me. Honestly, what the heck is this franchise thinking? Someday my...

Great edit, Midswat.

RKG?

Good point. I do think Garrett has some strengths. We can only hope that he'll overcome his weaknesses quickly.
