If you have Game Rewind: 5:15 3Q, NYJ at Tenn is Brandon Moore pulling like no guard has in Dallas in years.

“@gmoneythomas: Plus he understands Callihan zone scheme better than anyone on team. Big help for Federick.” >> Bingo.

Bob Sturm ‏@SportsSturm 2h
“@madmike65: soooo why is he available at this point? #WhatsTheCatch” >> $$$ 10 yr Vets want fair value and many cant find it.

Bob Sturm ‏@SportsSturm 2h
“@DFWsportsfan: How much do you value PFF ratings? They rated him quite highly last year” >> Eyeball test is more valued. Game rewind FTW.

Moore Played every game and nearly every snap at RG last year for Jets. Strong and solid and run blocking stud.

Bob Sturm ‏@SportsSturm 2h
Man, the methods are what they are. But if they really got Brandon Moore, that is a very good get. OL has a chance to be decent now.

Bob Sturm ‏@SportsSturm 3h
If your guard situation is bad - and everyone knows it - why do you wait until August to address it? Because hope is the strategy too often.

I wonder how long it takes for him to get in shape.

I love the signing...optimistic about Leary, so the interior of the line has a chance to be good.

PFT:Brandon Moore’s Cowboy career: One night

Maybe it was all just a bad dream.

Because after sleeping on it, veteran guard Brandon Moore has already cut short his comeback.

According to Mike Garafolo of FOX Sports, Moore has decided to retire instead of joining the Cowboys.

“I’m a man of my word. I hated letting Bill [Callahan] down,” Moore said of the Cowboys offensive coordinator, who worked with Moore with the Jets.

That’s an abrupt move for the 33-year-old guard, who could have probably walked into a starting job for a team with injuries up front.

Thanks for getting our hopes up asshole

Is this serious?

What a joke.

 

[boozeman]

Go get Brian Waters.

He would probably retire too.

 

[Simpleton]

This really is unbelievable. At least it shows that we're looking to upgrade at OG though, I guess we'll kick the tires on Waters some more now.

 

[Cotton]

Well, god damn.

 

[Cotton]

Moore > Waters

@ the title of the thread now.

Don't be so sure.

Remember when we went after Nnamdi and struck out? I stated afterwards that it wouldn't surprise me if these morons completely quit in their FA efforts after missing out on him and being shunned.

Jiggy argued with me that it was a ridiculous assumption but yet that is exactly what they did. I expect them to have the same "Oh well, we tried" attitude after this and go into the season without adding any player of note.

Deal would have been worth a guaranteed $1.75M with a chance to make a max of $2M. Moore, financially secure, had a change of heart this AM

 

[Smitty]

Wow.

All that over nothing.

 

[Smitty]

Probably woke up this morning and realized he had to go to the airport and get his ass in gear and couldn't get up the energy. Lame.

 

[BipolarFuk]

Parcells nailed that one.

Post your favorite Moore memory.
