that would be tampering. Jerry's not dumb enough to tell him something like that. he publicly stated that we could not afford Murray due to the cap. how then could he squeeze in someone more expensive?
I think that ship sailed when we signed McFadden. Jerry couldn't justify signing an older, scandal ridden guy for a shitload of $ when he let Murray walk.
I don't recall advocating that we match or exceed the offers made to Carter or Durant, but they were NFL quality players, and we could just as easily draft busts to replace them. I mean, this defense was in trouble even with them on the roster, and I don't sense a great deal of urgency at Valley...
Not sure I'd classify starters as JAGS. Durant was perhaps our best LB before he got hurt. Carter was inconsistent, but the arrow was once again pointing up before he left. Harris regressed as a returner, but will a rookie equal his tackling/coverage abilities on punts and kickoffs? Who's our...
then we're in trouble. the sand in Tony's hourglass is running out, and we're significantly worse than the team that lost in GB. yes, the draft is still to come, but are we gonna find rookies equal to Carter, Parnell, Durant, Murray, Harris, etc?
so why weren't we in the SB last year? oh right, a severely hobbled QB facing little to no pass rush raped our secondary. playing "keep away" only gets you so far.
if this precluded them from pursuing a RB in the draft, I'd be pissed, but I don't think they're that delusional. but spending a premium pick on a RB will hurt us on the other side of the ball.
I think he's more crazy than crazy like a fox, but a few weeks ago he had McCoy but no stud linebacker. Today he has someone possibly as good as McCoy and a stud linebacker.
but the new RB (probably) won't be as good and the defense that sorely needed three new young studs in the first three rounds will in all likelihood only get two. kudos to Stephen for holding the line, but there will be negative consequences on the field. and it's not like we're using the Murray...
:lol
Too funny.
Cowboy fans: DM was run down, never healthy for a full season, blah blah blah.
Enter Darren McFadden.
You can't write this shit any better.
what pisses me off is that it should have been defense Defense DEFENSE with the first three picks. now we created an area of need where there wasn't one.
