Taylor: It's time for (Marc Colombo) to go because injuries and age have robbed him of much of his effectiveness

06:49 PM CST on Tuesday, January 4, 2011

Columnist Jean-Jacques Taylor answered your questions in his weekly e-mail newsletter - Inside the Dallas Cowboys. Here are some highlights.

Jason Mastrangelo asks asks ... Instead of cutting Marc Colombo, what about moving him to right guard and cutting Leonard Davis? Colombo has slowed down, but he appears to play hard and has lots of heart.

TAYLOR: Colombo has never played guard, and it's difficult for tall players such as Davis and Colombo to get low enough and play with enough leverage to be an effective blocker. Davis could do it because he was such a good athlete. Relatively speaking, Colombo has never been that type of athlete. He has succeeded with guile and toughness for more than a year. But it's time for him to go because injuries and age have robbed him of much of his effectiveness.

Phillip Rudolph, New Orleans asks ... Shouldn't we at least start talking about who is the best candidate to turn around our defense? Paul Pasqualoni got us more takeaways, be we still gave up close to 30 points a game (not including Philly game).

TAYLOR: Personally, I'm a big fan of Mike Zimmer because he can coach the 4-3 and the 3-4 and he's a master technician. He's all about technique and accountability. He demands toughness, and he would help this team maximize its potential in addition to being familiar with the NFC East. Of course, he's under contract to Cincinnati for another year, but they might be willing to let him go since his daughters still live in Texas, and as a family they're apparently still having a difficult time dealing with the tragic death of his wife about a year ago as you might expect.

Ronnie Gips asks ... I really hope in the draft Jerry picks players who played big-time football and stops looking for diamonds in the rough. Thoughts?

TAYLOR: So you wouldn't want Tony Romo (Eastern Illinois), Miles Austin (Monmouth), Stephen Bowen (Hofstra), Jon Kitna (Central Washington), Doug Free (Northern Illinois) and DeMarcus Ware (Troy)? It's not about where guys come from, it's about whether they can play. The Cowboys need to do a better job finding guys who can play no matter where they went to college. That's their task.

The Dallas Morning News to Erect Paywall
By David Cohen on January 4, 2011 5:01 PM
Feb. 15 is paywall day at The Dallas Morning News, as the flagship newspaper of A.H. Belo announced that local news, sports, and other content will be classified as “Subscriber Content,” and require a fee, while other content, such as headlines, blogs, obituaries, classifieds, and non-proprietary content like syndicated wire stories will still be available free-of-charge.

The paywall will actually be erected Jan. 18, coinciding with the launch of an iPad app and an updated iPhone app, but Subscriber Content will be available for a free trial period that runs through Feb. 14.

Starting Feb. 15, print subscribers to the newspaper can receive full access to its online and mobile content, along with their print copies, for $33.95 per month, while the digital bundle — the eEdition of The Dallas Morning News, as well as subscriber content on dallasnews.com and the iPad and iPhone apps — will be available for $16.95 per month.

The Dallas Morning News CEO and publisher Jim Moroney said:

As we have been saying for some time, we’re much more than a newspaper company; we’re a news media company. These digital initiatives will enhance our ability to publish important news and information for our customers on the platform of their choice. The relevant, local content generated by our newsroom — one of the largest among metropolitan newspapers in the country — remains at the core of how we serve our readers and advertisers.

President and general manager John McKeon added:

We are confident that we are opening a new avenue for growth by providing unique, relevant local content on the platforms readers want, and creating highly targeted opportunities for advertisers to reach consumers

I always thought he sucked. But he did do better in Cincinnati than I thought he would.

I still wouldn't want him back.

Yeah, well, Dbair has been on this movement for a good 5 years.

My big gripe with Zimmer is he approached defense with a submissive mentality. A bend but don't break guy. Always hoping to be able to counter the offense rather than being on the attack and dictating tempo.

I mean, sometimes you might have to be that way when you're short on personnel, but that shouldn't be your philosophy.

News papers may make a comeback if online news outlets start charging these kind of fees.

I wouldn't pay 17 cents a year to read JJT.
