Cowboys may sign Brian Waters

[Bluestar71]

I thought on TV they had been saying "Ber-nar-do."

That's what I remember too. I don't know how he gets that pronunciation without an "r" in there somewhere but who knows.

It's all well and good that he showed up on september 4 for NE but he wasn't coming off of 18 months of inactivity then and he was 2 years younger.

Though even then at age 34 he was not young, even by OL standards. Unfortunately thanks to this team's complete mismanagement of its OL depth Waters is in the driver's seat.

The final countdown to sign Waters!!!!

Sweet Jesus, that's horrible.

Sweet Jesus, that's horrible.

They're almost as bad as Pantera

Jerry: Injury doesn't change Cowboys' OL urgency

August, 15, 2013

By Todd Archer | ESPNDallas.com


OXNARD, Calif. – Jerry Jones disagrees with the notion that Brian Waters’ price tag has gone up now that Ronald Leary will have surgery on Friday on his right knee.

The Cowboys owner and general manager said he expects Leary to be ready for the Sept. 8 regular-season opener against the New York Giants. Jones would not discuss the status of the talks regarding Waters.

“In my mind because of the nature of Leary’s injury, he really should be back the first week (so) it hasn’t changed any urgency we had or our situation with Waters one way or the other,” Jones said. “It’s not that we didn’t have a real feel that we wanted to get him or Brandon (Moore) in here to begin with. We did. I wouldn’t say that’s changed by any degree.”

Jones has expressed a desire to have a more veteran presence on the interior of the line, especially with Nate Livings recovering from knee surgery and Mackenzy Bernadeau unable to practice early in camp.

Leary has been one of Jones’ favorites since the Cowboys signed him as an undrafted free agent in 2012. To Jones, Leary is a starter.

“I don’t want to go that far but he’s a starter in my mind,” Jones said when asked if Leary had won the job already. “There’s still competition out here and I don’t want to take way from competition. But he’s shown us he can be a starter.”

Jones also praised the entire interior of the line in Leary, Travis Frederick and Bernadeau.

“You’re just seeing a base,” Jones said. “You don’t have the sense of getting pushed back. There’s just strength there in the middle. We’ve got work to do but that’s what you’re feeling with those guys out there.”

That's what you think, MFer.

Nah. He won't do that.

But if Leary starts this year and shows anything remotely positive? He gets the Jerry Multipass.

Lissemore is a classic case. Locked up. And well, looking like he could lose his role.

 

[Genghis Khan]

That's the problem. We incessantly overvalue and overpay our role players. They are vital to a team's success but they are also generally replaceable. Lissemore is a prime example. There was a time he showed a little bit of promise. But we take stuff like that and just run all over with it. Even if Lissemore lived up to his modest potential he's not the type of guy you give a financial commitment to. Guys like him are all over the place. You just can't get lazy about it.

Please, don't ever again question teh J's scholarship.

Sweet Jesus, that's horrible.

You're so very right. Lord, help me.

It's just as well. He's probably way too fat and out of shape anyway.

Well, all I can say is that if he wanted anything close to the $4M like he demanded from the Patriots before sitting out, we have done the right thing.

As much as we need the help, it is debatable how much he could provide sitting on his couch for a year.

Sweet Jesus, that's horrible.

I just noticed Sham said Brian Winters.

Well of course that deal is dead. He's a Jet.

 

[Cotton]

Oh snap. I didn't notice that either.

So we go after two guys who don't want to play.
