are we planning on doing this we didn't need Escobar dance until preseason or can we table it for a while/

sure thing Reality.


or maybe we can just discuss things on a message board?

I think the tight ends not playing well early was a big part of the offense struggling. Clearly, pourous blocking and wr off the reservation was equal, but it seems with dez on the up and up we have wr in a much better place and with a new center we have limited the interior of the lines problems.

having 3 or 4 solid tight ends is just as important.

Me personally I would keep 4 tight ends no fullback and 3 running backs....I would use hanna in that move tight end spot like we did fasano and the saints did david thomas last year.

Imo, the last two times we have had good seasons from our tight ends we were an excllent offense, 07 and 09. In 07 we had three good ones in witten, fasano and curtis and in 09 we had three good ones in witten, bennett and phillips. Phillips played his role nicely at the end of the season and it was huge.

I think murray and randle will be good, wr looks to be excellent if williams pans out and if hanna grows and escobar is what he appears we will be much better there than last year.

What this all means is that instead of babysitting 5 positions on offense we maybe only babysitting one or two....like one of the guard spots and maybe rt. Last year we were trying to cover up for a wr deficiency and te deficiency early on and then the center position, rt, guard and murray got hur. It was just a lot to deal with.

as of right now I think we are deeper and much better and I think it will show on offense.

EDIT: also as far as special teams goes, bisaccia has already pointed out that he is a little different and likes to use as many lb's as possible on special teams.....Which I guess is why we will have a number of them in camp...

Witten's a burner so that's no big deal really....

that guy never gets open, defnitiely use that as a reason to bag on a young player in johnson.

I'll mock all the guys your rooting for so long as you have "retired" in your custom user title.

Zoner jabs - the only thing more stale than Escobar was a luxury pick talk

No I agree. Witten gets open like nobody's business. It was just down the seems part that worried me.

sorry, i just dont have time to keep putting up those youtube vids.

and then I constantly have to read things in the comments section of them like
teh romo is ******, jones better be finding new qb next year like tebow, trade for him cuz romo is ******.

so I just threw my hands up a month ago and so no more.....if something interesting is happening in camp I will put the score up....I just cant keep up on a daily basis.

the other odd thing is, Gina Miller emailed me to explain to her how to record the shows in HD on the computer and then upload them to youtube, So I explained it compeletely in detail and like two weeks later Dallascowboys.com started putting up all the txa21 sports show clips........So I cant put those up anyomore anyway or they will zap my account.

 

[Midswat]

Can't you just disable comments?

 

[Theebs]

Can't you just disable comments?

well of course, its really about the time invested though....

I will put the cbs11 stuff up during camp most likely. The txa21 stuff though I think will get me in trouble now.

you cant even post it if you are giving them full credit for the link?

depends on how anal the copyright holder is. MLB and the NHL will shut you down in a NY minute, credit or no credit.

 

[Midswat]

I just mostly like the highlight videos

 

[Theebs]

The cowboys are posting those videos on their own website now, they will put a claim in.

The cbs11 guys have thanked me a number of times for putting stuff up though..mostly because they were not putting them online though....

Jerry McDonald‏@Jerrymcd17m
D.J. Hayden's abdomenal issue that will keep him out until training camp is a major setback, and immediately raises post-surgical concerns.

wasnt this kid a risk when he was drafted?

 

[cmd34(work)]

It seemed like he came out of nowhere to suddenly be talked about as the top CB in the draft.

 

[Midswat]

He was a stud CB in college who had a catastrophic injury that kills basically everyone who suffers it except him. SOmething like he ripped a heart artery and was bleeding directly into his stomach I think.

Witten is a hall of famer. I'll give Johnson a pass there.

It's not like Witten hasn't burned faster people for long receptions in his life.

witten made brian dawkins look foolish for years.

They dont get much better than brian dawkins.
