Had not heard, but not surprised by anything but the timing. Why now?

think they finally accepted he didn't want to play anymore

DeMarco Murray: Best Cowboys team in my career - NFL.com

The Cowboys are coming off their third straight 8-8 season. If there's one thing working in their favor, it's the absence of expectations. Perhaps Murray should express his surprising optimism in a more private setting.


This was a quote from the person who wrote that. " Surprising optimism". How some of these guys get these jobs I will never understand. What is he suppose to say- we suck.

I get more optimistic by the day.
Happens this time every year.
Just not sure I can predict 10-6 like I have the last 5 years or so.

I go through our schedule and I see 4 games we should win, 4 we shouldn't and 8 that could go either way. We need to find a way to go 6-2 in those games that are toss up's. 6-10 or 10-6, neither would be a surprise. That's what makes it exciting I guess

 

[ROMOTOOWENS]

Yep Im always optimistic before the season. I still go back to 2007 . I would have never had us winning 13 but we did. I just cant believe the guy that wrote that article said that about Murray- that his surprising optimism should have been shown in private. Really? I imagine any team the guy covered right now would be surprisingly optimistic.

Cowboys linemen are wearing knee braces. Team has made them mandatory for contact practices and games.

I think this is a great idea and you will see other teams copy this very soon. Those big guys are vital to a team's success and anything to keep them from getting injured is a good thing.

Very smart move by the Cowboys in my opinion.

 

[jarntt]

I wonder if they make a hamstring brace...

 

[ROMOTOOWENS]

Only guy that I heard got hurt today was Gardner. Not sure severity. Mo got winded and sat out at the end

Aren't all of the threads the 2014 offseason threads? What is supposed to be posted in here?

Hehe

Didn't BP do that when he was here?

More like 8-8.

More like 8-8.

man we cant do that again 7-9 9-7 but no blanking 8-8

please

I think McClain is going to be a low risk/high reward player for Dallas. Lord knows Dallas needs help at LB.

Please stop trolling the Laker's board.

Let's hope JJ continues to progress and develop. I still think this kid can be a good player, I'm just not going to annoint him until I see it. Problem is even if he plays well we still need another safety. Church is fine in the box, but limited in coverage and you need at least 3 guys that can play. I'm still hoping the UDFA that is considered more a "center fielder" type wins the #3 spot. Also hoping Heath nevers sees the field on defense again. I think Wilcox and a pure cover safety could be a good combo for us down the road.

No Romo in the first preseason game. Not necessarily a concern in and of itself, but combined with the obvious vagueness of his true health right now this isn't insignificant. Backs are a tricky thing. I'm not convinced he will be healthy for the start of the season and won't be until he's participating in every single practice.

[cowboycolors]

given how "truthful " the Cowboys are with injuries it would not surprise me if the real Tony Romo was still in a private Hospital in Dallas and the guy in Oxnard is a CIA facelift replacement that Jerry is trying to pass off as Romo so he wont have to take the cap hit


" It could happen right"

 

[jarntt]

Maybe it's Orton in disguise!!! The whole retirement thing was just a well-planned ruse...
