Thats a nice Game 7 you have there. Would be a shame if somebody nailed it down.

However they got the kicker who did this.

EDIT: Yes, UDFA, but still. look at that loving onside kick.

Lol Houston sports radio calling an Andre Johnson trade a win-win situation for both parties, especially if they can get a 3rd

If you're disillusioned about playing for a franchise you don't believe in, I'm not sure Miami is the answer.

Didn't get JFF or Carr, wasted Andre's prime for his entire career, F.

I doubt 'Dre wants to lose to the Texans so he should steer clear of Miami.




Please come to Miami.

One thing I did pick up on after watching some more tape is that Philip Rivers and Peyton Manning are going to own Ford with the hard count if he doesn't work on his snap discipline some. I saw multiple offsides penalties trying to get that extra step out of the gate, but those experienced guys will wreck him if he doesn't clean that up.

Do they play the cowboys this year? Romo hard counts are so good his OL and center often get fooled.

We got Andre Hal in the 7th? Hm, well, he's OK I guess. It's not like Indianapolis spent a high pick drafting a guy he shut down or anything.

Reading that article is like seeing a diagram of every football fan's rationalizations ever made. Dude could be good, but I thought it was funny how it starts off with "He's smarter than everyone!" and finally got to the point of "Ok so he is slow and small, literally cannot tackle at all (shows a clip of Hal getting bowled over by a QB, hesitating on runs, avoiding contact), has terrible ball skills (shows a clip of dude dropping like 15 easy interceptions), gets beat deep trying to cheat routes... etc etc, BUT HE'S SO AMAZE! His ceiling seems pretty evident.

I mean, it probably helps to have good human beings with leadership qualities on your team, but on the other hand I've given up on trying to make whatever point I set out to make when I started this sentence.

Tim Ruskell tried the LEADERS strategy in Seattle. It was not a good strategy.

Draft the best athletes you can find all the time.

While I agree with you about Hal as a player, the article was written long before the draft

Dallas Cowboys - Overall Grade: B

1.16 - Zack Martin, OL - A+

Dallas was about to pick Shazier when Pittsburgh took him at 15. Instead of taking Manziel, who they had a high grade on, they went with the best player that could help the team. OL wasn't a need position but they didn't like the remaining defensive players more than Martin. He was considered one of the "cleanest" prospects in the entire draft. Martin can move to RT if/when they move on from Free. He should start at one of the guard spots. The offensive line was one of the top units last season and should be even better this season.

2.34 - Demarcus Lawrence, DE - B-

The Cowboys biggest need was to find a weak side edge rusher. Dallas had Clowney, Barr, and Lawrence as the top pass rushers in the draft. They felt the drop to the next tier was so much they made a trade to make sure they got their guy. It was a steep price to pay because they had to give up their 2nd and 3rd round picks. Lawrence has a good first step and has long arms to help him get to the passer. He also wins with speed. He might not start immediately but Marinelli has said they already have packages for him on 2nd and 3rd downs.

4.119 - Anthony Hitchens, MLB - C+

One of the objectives Dallas had coming was to add depth to the defense. We were decimated by injuries last year and we were bringing guys off the street to play. Hitchens becomes the primary backup to Lee. He's an immediate upgrade to the position. He was a very productive player at Iowa. Dallas likes his speed, his hard hitting, and ability to make plays. Hitchens should be a good special teams player and may start if Lee can't stay healthy. Dallas had a 4th round grade on him so they took him. Some felt he would have been available later in the draft so I can't give this a high grade.

5.146 - Devin Street, WR - B

This years draft had a lot of depth at WR. Dallas had a 3rd round grade on Street so they felt fine trading one of their 7th round picks with their 5th to move up and take their guy. At 6'3 he fits the size Dallas is looking for in their receivers. One of his strengths is that Pitt ran a pro style offense so he already has experience and has above average route running abilities. This allows him to play outside and still be a force in the slot. Street should win the 3rd WR spot away from Beasley and will give Dallas more options in the passing game.

7.231 - Ben Gardner, DE - C

Dallas likes Gardner's relentless motor and he was a captain at Stanford. Gardner fell a bit because of injury. He has really explosive numbers for a guy his size (39 1/2 vertical leap). He's exactly what you want in the 7th with his physical abilities. Could become a nice backup LE and 3-tech DT. Will probably start on the practice squad.

7.238 - Will Smith, LB - C-

Smith is another guy who adds depth/competition to the LB spot. He fits as a Will LB and will look to make his name on special teams. Might be a practice squad candidate.

7.248 - Ahmad Dixon, S - B-

There's no secret the safety position has been a need for Dallas since Woodson retired. Dixon isn't expected to start but he is another hard hitter that Dallas expects to become a good special teams player. I think he will make the 53.

7.251 - Ken Bishop, DT - B-

I really like this pick. Hayden was a nice find by the scouting staff but he was the least consistent lineman last season. The 1-tech needed to be upgraded. Dallas signed McClain in the off season but he hasn't played very many snaps the past two seasons. Bishop looks perfect for the 1-tech in the Tampa 2. He has enough strength to take on double teams but still has the ability to push the pocket. I don't know if he wins the starting job but I think he will be the primary backup.

7.254 - Terrance Mitchell, CB - C-

Dallas has 3 man corners that are trying to convert to an off man scheme. I think Marinelli will employ more man coverage but they will still have to play some zone. Dallas selected Mitchell because he has great short area abilities which is perfect for playing off man. I think he competes with Webb for the final CB spot.

This is pretty much the only thing that will prevent Romo becoming a paraplegic in the forseeable future

We're going to need it since we play the NFC West this season and we get face Watt and Clowney when Houston comes to town.
