Dallas Cowboys 2022 Offseason Thread -- Every Time Jerrah Talks, an Angel Sheds Their Wings

[Wally Pryor 5,311]

Epitome of a stupid Dallas play. 3rd and going nowhere with a throw and a blow to the Qb's head for a 1st down.

But on the subject of blow, Irvin on color is gold.

[Vito Andolini 9,141]

Babe Laufenberg actually just asked Lamb about Game 6 and facing Jalen Ramsey. Example #3476 of how interviews in preseason games are complete shit.

(He even got the week,wrong, it’s Week 5.)

[Surly Bevo 25,523]

Question should have been posed to Zeke.

[DougO 5,257]

By week 6 it will be DiNucci throwing to James Washington, after all the other qbs get wrecked from the shitty OL.

so rush, then?

[Vito Andolini 9,141]

When it was nut cuttin’ time last year, the QB with no soul went into Minnesota and won a game they needed, and looked surprisingly good doing it. It’s hard to put that out of mind when evaluating the choice of a backup.

I think Zeke is stoned.

[DougO 5,257]

I could have sworn Laufer was saying Seattle was trying to tie the game up with a field goal, lining up for it with a 3 point lead.

Yep and you can bet he will play like it this season.   

[Hermanator 7,293]

Zeke's going to look good for however long it takes for his broken down RB self to get a nagging injury after which we'll be tortured with watching him limp ahead for 2.1 ypc while Pollard watches from the bench. 

[KeysPhoneWallet 807]

Need to hope the defense stays healthy. Hopefully we can be a good defensive and ok offensive team. Would be nice if JJ would go out and get a real tackle

Unless someone gets waived or released going to 53 the available free agent veterans are basically dogshit. Eric Fisher is out there and grades horrible. I’m sure they’ll bring in a couple of no names and see how they do. They have zero trade bait to use for a trade.

They also have some other tough decisions. I would cut Joseph and keep an extra one of these rookies that have played well. Do they keep 4 RBs? Malik Davis ran strong, and will likely not clear waivers to go to the practice squad. Cut Dowdle? Keep 4 TEs?

I'm guessing Rush already has the job and don't want to risk losing the backup, because they're going to need him. But I wouldn't be surprised if Grier makes the roster as well, and if not they would try to keep him on the PS.

[DougO 5,257]

The Cowboys should play all-time defense this year. Probably would score more points.

Will be hard to stash Grier. Same issue colts have with Sam. They’ll get picked up.

It’s about time to speculate on what stupid contract Jerry saddles the team with if Zeke gets cut next year. I’m thinking a 6 yr big contract for Tyron Smith, coming back from having his knee ripped off his leg.

Diggs deal is gonna be pretty stout but it'll probably be a multi-year Anthony Brown deal for top 10 money or paying Schultz 17m per......

Why not stash Rush? No one will want him. Dude has been there basically as long as Dak. How can he still be so bad in preseason?

He was awesome in the vikings game.

I don't understand why every article I read right now is like "ugghhhhhhhhh some of these cuts are so HARD!!".

No they're not. This is bottom of the roster filler. If a dude is even in this conversation, cutting him isn't a big deal. The decision to cut Rico Dowdle versus Malik Davis is not going to make a shit to any NFL team's season.

And the mouth breathers will just blame Dak for the shitty season. Hell, we will see how long he even lasts out there. Might want to have an OL worth a damn after you gave your QB a big contract.

[Nicole44 22,197]

Yes. Why bring in decent to good quality free agents in the off season when you can wait until you’re desperate and the season is about to start and lose draft capital? Doing it the hard way since 1997.

True. We often get attached to certain underdog types that show something early. This particular class in particular just seems like a bunch of guys, and most of the ones most liked will likely end up on the practice squad. It's just that way in today's NFL. And with the Cowboys, it's all going to amount to about the same thing.

[DougO 5,257]

I'm fairly indifferent between Rush and Grier. Grier certainly has better tools, but Rush has proven he can win games, can run a team, comfortable in the offense and doesn't make a ton of gaffs for a backup. Grier might have some upside, and the running ability is a plus, so he could be good backup material. I just don't get all the Rush hate. He's a backup, he's OK in that role, probably better than half the backups currently in the league, or about in the middle. I would like to keep both of them, both cheap at about the same salary. I like having 3 qbs on the roster, but it's tough when you have so many special teams guys and situational subs.

[DougO 5,257]

The only trade with the Jets I'm interested in is one that would bring Mims.

[Patrick Bateman 3,942]

Looks like we struck out on the backup QB roster cut game..... we'll play some roster manipulation here and probably have one of them as the backup for Tampa.

 

[Hermanator 7,293]

I hadn't been to blogging the boys in a long time but remembered it being the capital of homerville. Checked to see what they're saying about all this and they have turned. Amazing Joneses have even lost the most homer fans on the net. 

[DougO 5,257]

Seems like a bit of a risk to cut both at once. Maybe a trade in the works that includes a qb body?

Like I said earlier, just playing all-time defense seems even more viable now.

[DougO 5,257]

Maybe Romo is coming out of retirement.

Please assure me that the Cowboys are not intrigued by Kellen Mond.

With Rush not going through waivers, not really much chance of losing him. I doubt teams are chomping at the bit to sign him, and it does allow them to explore the waiver wire themselves. They probably talked with rush beforehand. 

[Texzilla58 4,745]

Rush is cut to make a spot for a player going to IR. He’ll be back, and Grier will be the PS guy unless he gets picked. Then they probably go denucci on PS or find another guy to pick up.

Malik got waived. Probably back on PS.

[Hermanator 7,293]

They cut Rush to get Tyron on the 53 before going to IR "so he can be back for the playoffs"

[Hermanator 7,293]

Is Jason Peters completely broken down? His 2021 with a bad line in Chicago wasn't horrible. He was still serviceable there. He said before camps started that he still wants to play a year and has done his usual routine of preparing for a season. 

Wouldn't it make sense to bring him in for a tryout then if he looks decent give him 1 for 9 or something like that? Throwing Tyler to the wolves at LT is straight irresponsible and could stunt the kid's development. Worst case scenario could turn him into another Chaz Green

Pretty much. It’s been reported that the Cowboys felt like Tyler Smith was a couple years away from being an NFL tackle when they drafted him - that was all part of the plan. So yeah they are lying through their teeth with the “future is now” bullshit this week.

I think it’s possible they’ve got something in the works and they’re just saying Smith is the guy right now so they don’t tip their hand. That’s giving them credit when they’ve done nothing to deserve any, though.

Why?  They low key suck.  Who cares, maybe Grier turns into something but nobody would cry any tears if Cooper Rush got scooped up.  Just pick up a Josh Johnson.

6 year MLB on PS?  Maybe..... if they don't like their numbers on LB and expect him up soon, but doubtful.  He may have to find a home somewhere else.  I know they want to keep McKeown, a QB and one or two of the WRs on the PS.  Probably a DL or two.

This has been the going theory of Bobby Belt and Broaddus.  They felt like they'd get through the cuts to 53 and then work on talking to Peters or someone of that nature, or scour the waiver wire, or both.  

[DougO 5,257]

They cut the kicker, long snapper and special teams ace as well. OK, I get it, but they're getting a little too cute with this stuff.
