Eagles, Giants add players through International Player Pathway Program

Posted by Josh Alper on April 27, 2020, 6:22 PM EDT

Each year, the NFL places four players with teams through the International Player Pathway Program and the NFC East is home to those teams this season.

As previously noted, the Cowboys were awarded offensive lineman Isaac Alarcón García and defensive lineman David Bada was placed with Washington. The NFL also announced that the Eagles have acquired Matt Leo and the Giants were awarded Sandro Platzgummer.

Leo is a former rugby player from Australia who came to the U.S. to play college football for Arizona Western College. He transferred to Iowa State two years ago and posted 14 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss and one sack as a defensive end for the Cyclones last year.

Platzgummer is a running back who played for the Austrian national team and in the Austrian Football League.

Yeah, let's see Romo shit the bed and then have a miracle comeback.

No fucking thanks.

It is this kind of romantic bullshit that people use to excuse the lack of winning since the Johnson years.

I prefer to homer out on the idea of our fat coach leading the likes of CeeDee Lamb and this awesome draft class to glory rather than revisit the shitty past with nostalgia.

Romo just completed airmailed that pass about 10 yards past Witten for a pick 6.

Shaddup and tune in.

BTW, I'm with you on the fans and the "romantic bullshit". I brought up a similar point a little while ago about Jerry Jones trying to push #88 onto CeeDee Lamb.

Sorry, I can't.

This is the COVID world where the communal TV is not shared unless it is for real football. They all went upstairs with the draft. But I can't convince shut-ins to just go upstairs for a bullshit game from over a decade ago.

You know who didn't have those problems?

Ike Turner.

Catch my drift?

Yeah, I could strap on my wife beater and lay down the law, but watching Romo shit the bed and somehow take pride in his comeback is not the hill I choose to defend.

In fact, this game is the fucking epitome of everything that was wrong with the player.

It is this that made our stupid fanbase think he was a winner. If anything, he was an entertainer.

Romo always needed someone to reign his impulsiveness and once Parcells left there was nobody to do that, certainly not shithead Garrett. That was compounded and amplified by the structure of the team for most of his career where the running game was unreliable or non-existant and the defense was often porous. On top of that he was saddled with Wade Phillips and Garrett as HC's for literally his entire career as a starter, and the specter of Garrett looming over the offensive design every single one of those seasons.

It was on him and the passing game to win games for the vast majority of his career and so of course the results are tumultuous. You could argue that he should've led us to more in 2007 but that was his very first season as a starter. In 2009 they ran up against an excellent Vikings team that should've went to (and won?) the Super Bowl with the OL falling apart. In 2014 he was basically robbed by the refs.

2010-13 the team was not equipped to compete in the playoffs, maybe they were in 2008 but that was a classic "Cowboys collapse under expectations season" with a shitty HC.

Long story short, he was asked to do too much and had very little to no winning infrastructure around him almost every single season he was here. He had his warts that coaching needed to correct and/or mitigate but put him in Pittsburgh or New Orleans or Green Bay or Baltimore and I'm 100% certain he at least makes a Super Bowl, and most likely wins one or maybe even two.

Cowboys-Bills from 2007.

been watching, cant believe that was 13 year ago

and I really cant believe Trent Edwards is still playing

 

[Genghis Khan]

Trent Edwards is still playing?

 

[1bigfan13]

Terence Newman single-handedly saved that game for the Cowboys. Bills are up 24-16 with the ball inside the red zone with 6 minutes to play and Newman jumps the route to pick off Trent Edwards and returns the INT for about 64 yards.

Whatta player.

 

[1bigfan13]

And Romo promptly throws INT #5 to kill the Cowboys momentum.

 

[L.T. Fan]

Romo was a gunslinger like Favre. Both were incredible athletes but both thought they had to make things happen. The obvious difference was the Packers were a better overall team and Favre didnt need to try all the shots he did. He just wanted to see if he could make the throw. Romo felt like he had to make throw because there wasn’t another option available. I think they were both great athletes and good QBs.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Five ints and a fumble... And we still win. Crazy.

 

[yimyammer]

Trent Edwards is still playing?

hanging by a thread

 

[1bigfan13]

And these are HORRIBLE INTs by Romo.

LBs and DBs are just reading his eyes and he's throwing it right into their chest as if they're the intended receivers.

This easily could have been a 7 INT night for Romo. Bills defensive players dropped 2 gimme INTs during this game.

 

[bbgun]

almost forgot about the two kicks at the end

He was a very good player and underappreciated.

That just goes to show you how shitty the Bills were back then.

You're at home and force that many turnovers and you still lose the game.
