Training camp thread...

He has healthy hamstrings, at least.

Ouch. Too true. I wonder if we'll ever see the Miles Austin who played San Francisco for 4 quarters in 2011 ever again.

 

[Smitty]

But what will happen to our advantage over the defense by snapping it at one second?

Hopefully with a center able to make the proper line calls, unlike Phil Costa who was not able to, it won't be as much of an issue for Romo reading defenses and directing the offense.

 

[Smitty]

I was more perturbed by the fact that Costa got zero work at guard. That just basically means he is going to stay and center and since Teh J just loves him some Costa, it is even more of an excuse to move Frederick to guard. I can hear it now "we got our best five on the field".

I'm not sure Costa is capable of playing guard. I mean, he's not capable of playing center either, but he might be even less capable at guard. I would think the short arms are an even bigger problem there.

 

[Smitty]

A backup DE will shake loose from somewhere probably. I am more concerned over losing a years worth of development on a young player who needs all the development he can get.

I didn't have much hope for Crawford turning into a quality starter anyway.

 

[boozeman]

Calvin Watkins @calvinwatkinsCowboys have 1 roster spot left and Stephen Jones said DL is a possibility.

Don't worry, Goof Son is on this.

I think he's perfect for the scheme and like him alot. As a Cowboys fan, the depth behind Ware on the other side is pretty scary though. Wilber? Total shot in the dark.

Maybe, but he was about the only decent bigger young DL we had on the roster. The rest are old, beat-up and undersized.

Yeah, but the point is, we need to add a starting run stuffer, a starting gap penetrator, and at least one other starting pass rushing end to this roster in the next 2 years anyway, regardless of Crawford's presence here or not.

If he pans out, he's the fourth best starter on your line anyway. If he doesn't, he's replaced by a cheap, low level FA signing.

I more or less yawn over him.

I will actually be about two hrs driving distance away from the practices this week. And hearing shit like this this is why I have zero intention of trying to go to any of them.

Lets say 3 hours...LA Traffic; you don't want to see Jerry in shorts and a Visor?

I used to care. I honestly did. But its shit like this- Goof Son burning up the lines for a DL like its a fuckin surprise we need one that makes me just laugh and root for another team.

The Jones' are clueless about putting a top quality franchise together.

Too bad I can't shove one of those giant inflatable footballs up their asses.

 

[Carl]

Ahhh yeahhuhh!

They're going to drink Oxnard dry tonight. ~We need a Guido fist pump smiley for this moment~

I expect to see 2-3 phone videos of drunk Jerry floating around the web within the next 24 hours.

They will head to Malibu. Only 20 minutes away. If I was TMZ, I would camp out at the new Nobu.

 

[boozeman]

The other bad thing about Crawford was that he was being groomed to replace Spencer.

A year from now we still won't know what we have.

No thanks Irish.

Hell no. Bring in another corner.

 

[Carl]

Hell no. Bring in another corner.

Unfortunately, David Buehler is unavailable.

13 Jersey is indicitive of the season. It is 2013 after all.

Take it to the Rant Zone.

Unc has taken his Jones hatred up a notch.

A lot of big name FA veteran linemen are still out there for depth: Richard Seymour, John Abraham among them.

Stephen Jones confirms that Tyrone Crawford suffered season-ending torn Achilles. Points to Barry Church as proof can come back strong.
