I love it.

 

[NoDak]

Wow.

Bluto Blutarski!!

Pete is from Shiprock, New Mexico in the Four Corners area. Get this from Wiki:

Shiprock is named after the nearby Shiprock rock formation. Since 1903, the town has been called Naat’áanii Nééz (meaning “tall leader” in the Navajo language) after the San Juan Indian Agency superintendent William T. Shelton who settled Shiprock for the United States government.

Listened to Schotty's PC... Mingo is 1000% making the team. BS went on about Mingo and what a damn good football player he was. Said he couldn't say that two years ago.

I have to think getting rid of the bad culture players like Diggs and Micah have helped with this seemingly improved player development.

I wouldn't mind trying to trade Mingo. I think he's played well but he's unnecessary at this point.

It may all fall apart tomorrow, but right here, right now, today is a good day to be a Cowboys fan. And, I don’t wanna hear it, Booze.

It has begun

Joe Milton in the first half: 6 of 9 passing, 165 yards, 2 TDs, 149.3 passer rating. 1 rushing TD

Oh, and I forgot to mention, two of those incompletions were clear drops by Kuntz.

 

[Bipo]

Wow.

How can scouts get it so wrong with zeroes like this guy?

 

[Cujo]

It was impressive because he actually showed some touch instead of trying to throw it through his chest.

That was my biggest complaint about him last year. He’s learned to put a little touch on his passes.

Fun fact: Not that it is a tell for the regular season, but it has been 19 years since the Cowboys won both of its first two preseason games.

2007?

Was quite the season.

 

[Cotton]

Indeed.

Cabo

 

[SaveAHorseRideACowboy]

Yeah, I'll eat some crow on Joe. Not sure he won't still make bonehead throws against better competition, but he does look much improved over last year.

Let’s hope he doesn’t have to make any throws unless we’re up by 80

 

[SaveAHorseRideACowboy]

Showing my age, but Barham is quickly ascending to Charles Jefferson from Fast Times at Ridgemont High status. Dude is intimidating and talented. We may have got us one here, boys.

But Now all you need is Spiccoli to crash his Trans Am before every game

 

[Plan9Misfit]

Oh, and I forgot to mention, two of those incompletions were clear drops by Kuntz.

At least - with respect to those drops - he lived up to his name.

 

[Smitty]

Using your logic, how about someone ponying up for Howell?

Compare the offers, sure.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

At least - with respect to those drops - he lived up to his name.

I mean he kind of had some good plays in the second half once he settled in. He is one big TE but unfortunately for him has no shot at the roster.

Could be a practice squad guy.

Several players getting cut are going to be painful cuts, which is a good thing.

Maybe we can trade a couple, that would be nice.

What is also remarkable is we had two TEs active, this one and Schooenerpooner. Barely saw him getting knocked on his ass.
