If they try to trade him they better succeed. He wasn't happy about it during the draft and a disgruntled player would all you have left.I wonder if you could trade Scandrick for a safety, then move Jones to CB.

Kenny Vaccaro was supposedly on the market at one point but I doubt Scandrick would get that done.I wonder if you could trade Scandrick for a safety, then move Jones to CB.
Never could understand why a team announces that they are looking to trade a player. Unless they have a no trade clause, why put it out there? The media and fans don't need to know about it. Put calls in to other GMs, and they're the only ones that need to know what you're thinking. The first time a player should hear about being traded is when the GM tells them to pack and GTFO.If they try to trade him they better succeed.

Yup, which compounds the issue at safety since he looks lost half the time in zone coverage.Byron Jones is scared to tackle.
I would do it in a heartbeat, but who would both want Scandrick and have a decent safety to offer in return?I wonder if you could trade Scandrick for a safety, then move Jones to CB.
He already basically plays a corner role anyway. Why bounce him between that and safety?Yup, which compounds the issue at safety since he looks lost half the time in zone coverage.
The guy just isn't a safety but I don't hold that against him because that's not his natural position. The Cowboys, who apparently are allergic to going after actual safeties with ability, are at fault for his struggles there.
Move the guy to CB and now you make that position on the team an area of strength with a lot of promise for the future.
Exactly.He already basically plays a corner role anyway. Why bounce him between that and safety?
Use him as a corner who covers big WR's and TE's in man coverage and move him all over the field to do it. We need some actually 2 deep safeties. Byron Jones and Jeff Heath are consistently out of position on giving deep help to our corners. They are always late in giving help and it makes our corners look bad and it forces our corners to play less aggressive on the short stuff because they don't have faith that the safety has them covered on the deep stuff.
Xavier Woods has looked like our best safety this year. In terms of tackling and in terms of coverage he has honestly been the best and most natural of the group. I'd make him a full time starter deep. And I have no idea what the answer is next to him. I just know it isn't Byron Jones or Jeff Heath. And frankly I haven't loved what I have seen out of Frazier either. Mostly I've seen him miss some really easy tackles but I haven't totally given up on him yet.
Yeah I hate talking draft this early in the season because it means that we are struggling and the answers aren't out there until the offseason but if it were up to me I'd leave Chidobe at corner and suffer with the bed we have made at safety this year.They need to sign someone or draft someone in the first 2 rounds of the draft and hope that he pans out and so does Woods. Otherwise, we'll be needing 2 safeties going into next season and not just one.
Man, I don't remember that, at all.
There was a lot of local coverage. Maybe the networks didnt carry it.Man, I don't remember that, at all.
I remember reading about it in Sports Illustrated but I'm pretty sure that's the first video I've seen unless it was covered by ESPN or something and I forgot. I think all this is when they started beefing up security for victory parades in general.Man, I don't remember that, at all.
I think Butler should be ahead of Williams on the depth chart.
Are you saying that you actually expected the Cowboys to hold somebody that wasn't a random schlub accountable?I think Butler should be ahead of Williams on the depth chart.

Um, but Zeke is back now. They will need to redo that...The point of the picture was that Zeke isn't on the depth chart.
I noticed that in the original post, but chevy was pointing out how he'd rather see Butler ahead of Williams on the depth chart which would suggest that Garrett's tough talk of holding people accountable would have to actually be true in order for that to happen.The point of the picture was that Zeke isn't on the depth chart.
