Well i have seen him play since i watch USC games for some unknown reason seeing as though im a Longhorns fan, and i can tell you that he is good at one crucial thing and that's second level blocking. With Free and Smith you have 2 tackles who can get to the second level and that's real important when it comes to the running game. Since i've had a chance to cool down from yesterdays debacle i can honestly say that any safety drafted yesterday will be cut or be a backup, because that had to be one of the worst safety classes in the history of the draft.
It looks more and more like the cowboys are going after Michael Huff and will pick up a spare safety in the last day of the draft.
Its almost a MUST they have to sign Huff now. I hate this wait and see shit with this laber negotiations still going on because you don't know what the fuck will happen. But I can say though there wasn't a safety out there that I really felt we missed out on. Like last season, aside from the elite safeties like Eric Berry and ol' boy from the Seahawks I thought we had a legit chance at Nate Allen and the jury is out if we missed out on him but he had a solid rookie campaign. This year I don't feel that way.
The cowboys might have found a gem here
Looks like he has a little Patrick Crayton here. He's a late pick so i'll hold off on optimism but could be a future slot guy right here if he makes the team and stay's on course.
yeah word is dude can play
cowboys are gonna have to cut barber and roy to make room for the money they are going to have to spend in free agency cuz they didnt address FS or DL
Cutting Roy will cost 13 million against the cap which I don't see the Cowboys taking. Maybe next season or the year after but not this year. I think both Choice and Barber are gone but if Barber didn't have that contract he'd still be here. I just think this team is ready to move on from Choice. Personally, I don't see how anyone could see that offensive line last season and expect any of our backs to produce but its whatever. I'd focus more on getting more depth on that O-Line than any other position aside from safety.
I would cut or trade:
Barber (hurts)
Roy Williams
Manny Johnson
Hurd
Campo
Ogletree
Davis
Igor
Alan Ball
Sensabaugh
Hatcher
Leon Williams
I would have maybe taken that Jacksonville deal so we could get the extra picks. Pick at 16 and get Constanzo, that BC OLineman.
Maybe go for Brandon Harris, that Miami boy, and Carter. Still get Murray and use the extra pick to get that fat DT from Hampton, Kenrick Ellis. I wanted Ellis over Murray because we need a big DT to let our linebackers work and so Ratliff can move to DE.
I don't feel the draft was that bad because apparently its been said that the Boys are going hard after Asomugha and possibly Huff or Elam.
Cowboys like Josh Brent who were drafted last year in the supplemental draft as our nose tackle to free up Ratliff from playing there every down. That's a lot of players to cut. Personally i'd keep Alan Ball here as a corner, keep Roy as a #3, Hurd and DEFINTELY Sensabaugh because I think him and Huff would be a solid combo out there. Sensabaugh had a solid season last year despite having shit for a free safety.
And Asomugha is fine and dandy but Huff better be here first. Our corners aren't as bad as they were last season. That free safety is going to be terrible this year, next year and the year after.
Constanzo played on left, so you know what you're getting. NE took him...chances are he's legit. I wanted a NT as well, we still don't have a block eater. Wade doesn't prefer one, but all successful 34s have one.
Nnamdi said he wanted GB or NYJ. Don't know his particular relationship w/ Rob, but most cats that have played for him consider him too emotional & a panicer. Just dont see him running to play for him, but money talks. With no cap the raiders might bring him back. Huff wants too much for a player to have never made a pro bowl, but he wants DAL bad so he may take less to come here. He's ok, but nothing to overpay for.
This defense has been successful with Ratliff as our NT. It has been dominant. I think what works in Ratliff's favor is that he's faster than any guard or center you put on him.
And last I read I don't think the Raiders can bring him back can they? I remember it vaguely and i'm probably wrong but I thought because of that shit they pulled with his contract he virtually can't re-sign? Not to mention the head coach said the young corners need to step up because Nmandi is not coming back. Said that shit like last week. That being said, I don't think we pay the 80 million it will take to get him.
In regards to Huff, you're gonna have to overpay to get him. That's why you need to address these needs in the draft because in free agency you have to overpay. That's just how it is for starters. There's no such thing as a bargain in free agency. That said, i'm willing to overpay if it means we get a legit free safety.
Dammmmnnnn somebody got a burst....at :15 he caught that hitch and dip the fuck out!
