Only 2 QBs though, usually they do 3 or more to spread out all the throwing so somebody doesn't get hurt. Out of this list they're hoping to find at least one WR/PR/KR/Special teams player, and I think they're also looking for another Special Teams/LB or Special Teams/S/CB.

Just found another article where they are still whining about the Cowboys not drafting a RB or QB. http://cowboysblog.dallasnews.com/2015/05/5-players-the-cowboys-could-regret- passing-on-in-this-years-draft.html/ Haven't really seen much on how the rookie camp went other than Gregory not being hydrated enough on the first day and about Dez not showing up. Most of the buzz I'm seeing is which WR is gonna replace Harris as KR/PR/WR/Special teamer. http://www.dallascowboys.com/news/2015/05/11/job%E2%80%99s-open-undrafted-wrs- looking-replace-dwayne-harris

Did you see where Homosans hero Michael Sam signed a 2 year deal with the CFL Alouettes?? http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/12931850/michael-sam-signs-two-year-deal- montreal-alouettes-cfl
“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
Yeah saw that.
“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)
Got a giggle out of this... “Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
Go figure. Big gob cracking down on drone use on personal property. I first thought maybe they were spying with drones but hey its the Dallas Cowboys not the Massachusetts Patriots!
My son pointed out a drone (small one) at a RR Express game. When we were heading to the parking lot it landed on the field. Have no idea what they were using it for.
Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved. (Psalm 62:1-2)
You would think they would just be using it for different camera angles of the game/crowd for the big screen. “Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
I think big GOB is afraid of the potential uses of those drones against them and want to scare you into not using them.

Big difference. I'm sure Jerrah, the parole officer in chief is happy:)
And now for the next bit of drama. “Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
Yeah, LOL saw that. Something tells me the Jones family is a bit more smart than to get into that nonsense.
I guess we'll find out. You know they want to keep Dez but don't want to pay him what they think it's gonna take to keep him, which in today's market means he's way overpaid. “Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
I actually think the average of the top 3-5 is proper pay for Dez. He is not better than the top 3 but more like the 5th best receiver in the game. The problem for Dez is that Tony has only another year or 2 and thats it. After that Cowboys are in a rebuilding phase and do not need to be held down by crazy contracts. No win situations. Dez wants a 5 year contract with guaranty pay.
I actually think the average of the top 3-5 is proper pay for Dez. He is not better than the top 3 but more like the 5th best receiver in the game. My point is a lot of players are overpaid. “Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
This team "overall" is way too young to go into another "total" rebuilding phase. Teams are always rebuilding to some extent (get rid of 3-4 older guys acquire 3-4 younger ones every year) some just require more rebuilding than others. And some have the right players but the coaching staff needs to be schitt canned. Jerry and Company will either find Romo's replacement in the next draft or will go after one via the trade/FA route. “Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
Well the funny part about this situation is "BOTH" of them called 911 and accused the other of attacking them. And then after it's just about all over with she can't be found to testify at the trial so all of the charges are dropped. Since he only played one game last year because of this and lost all of that money you would think "time served" would be enough. At least it was in Adrian Peterson's case so why not in Hardy's case?? (I guess the seriousness of the charge outweighs the actual validity of the charge)... Remember when Michael Irvin and Erik Williams were accused of rape and it was found out the woman lied about it. Hmmmmm kinda makes you wonder about Hardys case. “Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
Barry Horn Follow @bhorn55 BHorn@dallasnews.com Published: 24 July 2015 05:02 PM Updated: 25 July 2015 01:28 AM Largely boxed out from prime-time regular-season Cowboys games by NBC, which has an annual three-to-one advantage, and outside the lines when it comes to training camp sagas as brought to you by HBO’s Hard Knocks, ESPN has come up with a way to add Cowboys content to its programming lineup. Coming to a TV set near you on Aug. 4, a Tuesday, will be a live 90-minute special from the Cowboys’ Oxnard, Calif., training camp. The idea is to take viewers through an afternoon practice with Kenny Mayne, Jon Gruden and Darren Woodson as tour guides. This will be ESPN’s second such foray into training camp. Last summer the concept debuted with the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. If you think the New England Patriots, the Seahawks’ successors as kings of the hill, would be the logical choice for this summer, you haven’t been paying attention. Patriots coach Bill Belichick would rather have outside cameras at his anesthesia-less root canal than invite them into his training camp laboratory. The Patriots, history has shown, prefer to be on the other side of the lens. So when ESPN producer Jay Rothman decided on an encore performance of his inside training camp experiment, he went directly to a team with “meat on the bone” that doesn’t mind offering a taste. The Cowboys provide the perfect ingredients, including an owner who likes cameras and a magnet that draws eyeballs. In an interview this week, Rothman said he approached the receptive Cowboys at the Super Bowl and got the final approval last month. “Jerry Jones is terrific, he gets it,” said Rothman, whose main role is producing Monday Night Football. “And there’s no secret that with the Cowboys, the ratings are big.” (Note: The Cowboys-Redskins appearance on Monday Night Football in October was easily the highest-rated and most-watched game on ESPN last season.) The idea for the training camp series popped into Rothman’s head while he watched an ESPN special that focused on Boston Red Sox batting practice soon after the start of the 2014 season. (Added note: The other team taking batting practice that day at Fenway Park was the Rangers.) Rothman thought the idea would easily translate to the NFL. Unlike Hard Knocks, which lingers at training camps and depends on character development, Rothman’s production will rely on Xs and Os. Already he has met with Gruden and Woodson for six hours of Cowboys film study. You might expect ESPN to “mike up” several players, coaches and a certain general manager. But that won’t be the case. Rothman explained he tried that approach with the Seahawks and didn’t like the results. Besides, it’s always dangerous to have hot microphones in a live athletic setting. Toward the end of our conversation, Rothman noted that although his show, scheduled to kick off at 6 p.m., was booked for 90 minutes, it could go longer. (Final note: Last season Gruden sat down with Jones for what was to be a four-minute feature. They talked much longer. Rothman deemed it worthy for more. There was “enough meat on the bone” for a 30-minute special, which drew surprisingly strong ratings.) Most assuredly there will be replays of the Cowboys training camp show on a variety of ESPN networks. Who knows? This could translate into an annual event. Maybe even a series. When it comes to the Cowboys, the networks’ appetites are insatiable. Didn't know if you guys had seen this or not. “Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
Since we are not talking much about the Dallas Cowboys, that means the Rangers are still in the hunt:) Article to get things started for this season: Jon Machota’s final Cowboys 53-man roster projection: Will team keep 3 QBs? "The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever.”"---Isaiah 40:8
They either believe McFadden solves that void, OR will rummage thru roster dumpsters and free agency. From what I'm hearing from training camp McFadden is doing just fine, they are happy with what they have... Now that could change tomorrow as you all well know... Article to get things started for this season: Jon Machota’s final Cowboys 53-man roster projection: Will team keep 3 QBs? Speaking of predictions this one has them regressing to the Eagles level and has the Giants 2 games further back... http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/2015-nfl-preview-the-cowboys-eagles-and- giants-look-good-compared-to-the-disaster-in-washington/ Thinking the Jints need to score in the high 20s each week . But was listening to Kim Jones and she seems to think that the Spagnola D will attack regardless of the skill level of the players ...which will make a big difference from last years Jints D . I do think the Phillie Beagles will be even better than last year . But Murray will not be as productive back as he was with Dallas . I liked what I saw of Joseph Randel so kinda surprised that the Cowboys are going to give McFadden a lot of touches. Going to miss Steve Weatherford on the Jints . I like punters who play the game like linebackers . He also has the best build of any player in the game . espn.go.com/video/clip? id=11817111 Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
I don't think any team would stand much of a chance of making the playoffs scoring less than 27 points a game. Especially now in the salary cap era were it's very hard to have both a good offense and a good defense, it's usually one or the other... And won't be making much money either, I hear his contract is extremely back loaded... Seahawks averaged only 20 ppg last year and made super bowl.
Actually almost 25 points per game, 24.625 to be precise... And their strength is on defense not offense where they gave up only 15.875 points per game... The average defense gave up right at 23 points per game last year which is what I was basing my statement on... The Giants averaged giving up exactly 25 points per game last year, 400 in 16 games. Ah, I see what I did, googled 2014 stats, found link, and it gave me 2015 preseason stats. Like IGAF about those. Thanks!
Did the same thing to me when I went to ESPN... Well tomorrow is here and it did change somewhat, they made a trade with Seattle for a little used RB. http://espn.go.com/dallas/nfl/story/_/id/13597200/christine-michael-traded- dallas-cowboys-seattle-seahawks Spags has no other choice than to be super aggressive with an individual skill level on the D that's totally lacking. The sum is going to have to be much greater than its inferior parts. Going to miss Steve Weatherford on the Jints . I like punters who play the game like linebackers . Didn't understand why Weatherford was cut, but yeah -- gonna miss him. The guy was fearless as a punter.
No doubt -- McFadden could well be a fine back for the Boys. He played well with an inferior O-Line at Oakland, he s got good vision. But as well all know, BOTH the running game AND passing game is only as good as the O-Line plays. And at this juncture few teams know exactly how well their O-Lines will perform. On a disappointing note, one of the most compelling NFL shows of all time has been cancelled by Philly: TEBOW-TIME :-(
Yea I seen that earlier today. The NFL is all about winning but I wonder if his story is all about that or something else, hmmmmm... Kelly advised him to go to CFL and hone his skills. That was the path to success for Warren Moon and Doug Flutie (another Heisman Trophy winner). Not sure if he will do that or go back to his SEC commentator gig. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
it is a salary dump . Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Great quarterback. One of the greatest. I was a Houston Oilers fan.
Great quarterback. One of the greatest. I was a Houston Oilers fan. If you include his CFL stats he is ranks right up there with the greatest .He threw for 21,228 yds in 6 seasons . 1983 ,his final year in the CFL he had 380 completions of 664 attempts for 5,648 yards and 31 touchdowns. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Since the first game has went by and nobody has commented figure I would make some... Cowboys won on a last second drive to beat the Giants, looks like their strategy of trying to run out the clock instead of scoring the TD to put them up by 2 scores backfired... http://espn.go.com/new-york/nfl/story/_/id/13656963/rashad-jennings-new-york- giants-says-was-told-not-score-end-dallas-cowboys-game Cowboys did it with Dez sitting in the locker room with a broken bone in foot, will be out 4-6 weeks from what I heard... Haven't seen where they are going to try to get another receiver so figure we will see a lot more of Gavin Escobar taking on a WR role to fill the void. He's big and fast so he might do alright, Tony will need to learn to trust him more though... Went over to the "Iggles" website and seen DeMarco Murray had an outstanding day running the ball 8 carries 9 yards... LOL WOW 8 carries 9 yards? I like DeMarco but he was asking too much. I almost walked away when the Gaints were about to make it a 2 score game and my recording stopped. I like to record the game so I don't have to watch 5 minutes of play and 10 minutes of commercial. So I kicked the tv on channel 5 and it has the cowboys at the 10 yard line! OMG what the hell happen!! LOL Cowboys just shot themselves in the foot over and over again. Beaslys fumble(TD), then Tony put it behind Witten(TD), Dez dropped a easy catch we needed(-TD) and then his replacement had one bounce off him into the arms of the defense(3pts). Defense really kept the Gaints to 6pts! Gaints are kicking themselves all the way back home!
Us Jint fans are used to one or two brain farts a season. But this was a whopper . Eli actually told Jennings to NOT score on the goal line. That would've worked too if Eli had the sense to take a knee on third down instead of throwing the ball away . Did he not see the end of the Superbowl this year ? I thought the Boy's strategy of ball control was brilliant . If they did not have bad mistakes like the pick 6 they would've won the game easily . The Jints are going to regret the lost opportunity of stealing a road win against a division opponent who is clearly better than them. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
