Nabers?

Pickens. Like Booze, I got lost.

If that means less Murray, good.

You approve of Clark over Murray? Both looked meh to me.

Murray just represents more of what we don't need-- another non-physical, not super instinctive guy who's average vs the run. At least we drafted Clark, I have no idea why we signed Murray.

Worse....we traded a 6 for him

Dangerously close to a dur, little man.

Clark is trying and had a decent enough camp. Murray has been handed the job and did not do shit (yeah I know, he had a baby but still).

Not a straight 6. A pick swap.

I'd feel so much better about this season if we had a running back. What a difference that position makes when there's youth and talent, and what a negative if not properly staffed.

Imagine having Henry.

... which we could afford had we known we weren't paying Micah.

Thomas being out is big, he's their best offensive player.

Counterbalances Bland being out a bit.

I think Jerry viewed the Cowboys signing him as a clear admission he chose the wrong back in 2016. Jerry's ego would not let that happen, I think.

But again, his not catching the ball combined with his age is definitely a hole in his game. Do we think he'd have exploded in Dallas the way he has in Baltimore with Jackson an effective decoy on almost every handoff.

In any case, he's essentially sealed his HOF status, though likely not first ballot without a championship. Too bad it wasn't meant to be :(

The fact it's the ultimate bus driver Griese holding that record undermines it totally.

healthy scratch = massive red flag

healthy scratch = massive red flag

I think they are basically saying this shit to cover the call from Jerry to play the contracts. If Sanders is a healthy scratch (which he should be) it seriously calls Jerry's GM'ing into question, while it's OK on the surface to do that to a 5th round pick like Blue ( who was also dinged in preseason).

I will say though Blue does not appear to be very hardy at all. I worry he'll break like glass under real carries, and I'm not confident there will be ball security if he does.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

I actually don't think it's that. It's not like they paid Sanders much. I think they'd like to play Blue, but he's apparently a little bit of a dipshit.

But who knows, he might play Sunday.
