Who fucking cares?The point, of course, being that it was pretty obvious right from the start that the injury was there (as opposed to the shoulder, say), and that it wasn’t just “apparent”.
I thought it was absurd that the headline would read “apparent lower leg Injury” when the guy’s bone was protruding and he was taken off a cart with his leg in a boot.Who fucking cares?
It's the URL, though. Not the column. It's not relevant.I thought it was absurd that the headline would read “apparent lower leg Injury” when the guy’s bone was protruding and he was taken off a cart with his leg in a boot.
If you don’t care, good for you.
I understand that. Some idiot thought that the injury was “apparent” and that got put in the URL.It's the URL, though. Not the column. It's not relevant.
It will be interesting to see how he looks. He’s never quite had the full skill position talent around him that Dallas currently has. But the offensive line is missing 3 starters for the rest of the season so that is going to be challenging.well, I asked at the time of Dalton's signing, was it worth the cap space to sign a expensive backup QB? apparently they had the room, and now the insurance policy just paid out for the Cowboys.
I mouth vomited when he said that. TOO SOONTony dungy is an ass

Are they, though? Or are they just a test of how much storm you can weather having lost 5 offensive starters?The Cowboys are basically a test now of what would you rather have: (1) GREAT skill position players with a bad OL, or (2) mediocre skill position players with a great OL.
...in sole possession of 1st placeAre they, though? Or are they just a test of how much storm you can weather having lost 5 offensive starters?
Spoiler alert: it won't be much and I fully expect them to enter the bye week with a record of 2-7.
You’ve just given the reason why my post is true.Are they, though? Or are they just a test of how much storm you can weather having lost 5 offensive starters?
Funny. But not with two of those losses coming to Washington and Philadelphia....in sole possession of 1st place
Believe that all you wish but I did nothing of the sort. Or need I remind you that the Cowboys lost their starting quarterback yesterday? That's kind of a crucial component of your little experiment; the control variable, if you will.You’ve just given the reason why my post is true.
Yeah, they have a lousy offensive line because three starters are hurt. And their skill position players are among the best in football, QB excluded, but even he, with quality weapons, can be pretty decent.Believe that all you wish but I did nothing of the sort.

If I wanted a fight, you'd know it. There would be no ambiguity.Yeah, they have a lousy offensive line because three starters are hurt. And their skill position players are among the best in football, QB excluded, but even he, with quality weapons, can be pretty decent.
It feels like you’re itching to fight when I don’t think we are seeing things that differently. But maybe I’m wrong.
Not realistic until after 2022. Would be $24.5M cap hit if cut before 6/1/21. Goes down to $10.8M by 6/1/22 and $6.7M before 6/1/23.Is there any way to cut Zeke and save some cap space in the offseason?
Totally unprepared with no sense of adjusting on the fly.Things are getting ugly in Big D.
#Cowboys players initially bought into keeping things internal. Now as they sit 2-4 the discontent is leaking out. On the coaching staff “totally unprepared. They don’t teach. They don’t have any sense of adjusting on the fly.” Another “they just aren’t good at their jobs"

They aren't very good, but yeah in first place. It's kind of crazy, with all the talent they have. And Dalton isn't exactly Brian Hoyer. (I dunno...maybe he is)They are in first fucking place. Sheesh
QB rating of 38.9 over a 2-11 campaign last year, and that's after 3 consecutive seasons of decline. He's done like dinner. Maybe we can trade them Hoyer for a conditional 8th.They aren't very good, but yeah in first place. It's kind of crazy, with all the talent they have. And Dalton isn't exactly Brian Hoyer.

The headline of this piece is everything I hate about football culture wrapped into 16 words.
In the draft, they should spend their first 3-4 picks on the line...both O-line and D-line. This team is quickly becoming noncompetitive because of their utter incompetence on the line. Say what you want about Rod Marinelli's defenses (I had my critiques), they at least produced solid D-lines that could stop the run and the guys flew to the football.If Atlanta had recovered the onside kick, this team might have a legit shot at the #1 pick. But since there's no way the Jets win 3 games and the Cowboys are the type of team to fuck around and win when they shouldn't, it's just not going to happen. They are definitely bound for a top 5 pick so they should not be messing around with trading away any resources. They will need to explore the free agent QB market, however, because that offensive line is going to cause a lot of injuries at that position.
Definitely not but it's something I would strongly consider if I were owner. Well, if I were owner, I wouldn't have hired McCarthy in the first place.I don't know about a top 5 pick. They're currently 8th, and they've got two vs Philly, another vs Giants, another vs Wash, and Bengals and Vikings. Sure, they don't look like they could beat anyone right now but there's a lot of offensive firepower there and of those six games I could see 3-3 pretty easily especially if some of their guys get healthy.
Regardless, coaching seems to be an issue. Any chance McCarthy is a one-and-done?
What offensive firepower? They've scored a combined 13 points in the past two games.I don't know about a top 5 pick. They're currently 8th, and they've got two vs Philly, another vs Giants, another vs Wash, and Bengals and Vikings. Sure, they don't look like they could beat anyone right now but there's a lot of offensive firepower there and of those six games I could see 3-3 pretty easily especially if some of their guys get healthy.
They also looked inspired for the first time all season. Like they were busting their ASSES every play. LVE coming back definitely helped. So have the returns of Randy Gregory and Anthony Brown (stabilized the secondary a little....although now Diggs is out....but they just activated Chidobe Awuzie off IR too for this week)Seems like the defense has sort of turned a positive corner the last couple weeks...maybe it was just the lack of a preseason and reps that made it look so awful. They could have won yesterday with a couple calls not being made (or Jaylon not being a dumbass) but losing is best for business anyways.
Only thing I've seen is someone saying that it's not Jerry Jones. McCarthy having a heart attack would be my guess.Anybody hearing any details about what happened there today? Hearing things ranging from heart attack to possibly even someone taking their own life (I am hoping it is more minor than either of these)
Paul was a former assistant strength coach of the Patriots from 2000-2004.According to this, it seems that head strength & conditioning coach Markus Paul passed away suddenly:

They have not updated the URL or preview apparently, but the first sentece was edited a few minutes ago to read "Former Syracuse defensive back Markus Paul is in serious condition at a Dallas area hospital..."

Got it thank you. SI really needs to amend the URL, it's a terrible look IMO.The Cowboys put out a statement saying he is alive and in the hospital.
