but he probably won't learn from it

Time will tell. Hopefully he does not end up like Joseph Randle. It would be a feat to turn into Randle though.

Talent or skills say you gotta see if he wants football...that should be clear with health after this season.

I think it is even funnier when they use the term "M word" instead of the actual word


“Stephen [Jones] and I went over to Jonesboro and a lot of our staff, certainly our scouts, and wanted to give a big memorial to Lace,” Jones said. “Lace held court out here (in Oxnard). I’m going to get me somebody, a [M-word], to stand up there with me and dress him up like Lace and think Lace is still out here helping at practice with us.

He is the main reason for our 26 year drought. What other owner is at the podium?? Why can't you just stay in the background?? LOL

 

[Schmoopy1000]

When I read Jones said the M word. I thought God Dammit, he said Mike or McCarthy!!! That Sonofabitch!

Just saw the video with the Jones Boys strutting to the press conference.

Some of these are at positions that this team needs help at. The guy I've hoped for all along was Tretter, but I'd say all could help this team and all but the top 2 could be reasonable signings from a need/salary demand perspective

Odell Beckham
WR · Age: 29
It makes sense for Beckham to stay in Los Angeles and rehab with the Rams after tearing his ACL in the Super Bowl. If I was an opposing general manager, though, I'd offer Beckham a strong long-term deal with guaranteed money now, because it would pay off in Years 2 and 3. Talents like Beckham aren't often available.

Rank
14
Duane Brown
OT · Age: 37
Brown solved the Seahawks' left tackle problem in 2017; he probably had his worst year in Seattle last season before hitting free agency. He'll turn 37 years old before the 2022 campaign kicks off, and he probably won't continue to command top-tier money, but he shouldn't be that far off.

Rank
44
Trey Flowers
DE · Age: 29
Flowers was unable to stay healthy the last two seasons, but he'll only be 29 years old this fall and had a PFF grade over 80 in every season between 2017-2020, making him one of the most consistent defensive linemen in football. He should still have good football left in him in the right scheme.

Rank
45
JC Tretter
C · Age: 31
The stalwart center barely practiced all season because of knee and ankle injuries, but you wouldn’t have known it after he logged 1,000-plus quality snaps for the fifth straight year (per PFF). He’s unquestionably still an above-average starter, which is not easy to find.

Rank
49
Will Fuller
WR · Age: 28
Fuller missed time in 2021 due to a PED suspension, a personal issue and a broken finger. It’s safe to say there are red flags, but the man sure can run fast!

Eric Fisher
OT · Age: 31
Fisher took his first snaps as a Colt just eight months removed from tearing his Achilles and had his worst season since his rookie year. That could make him a better value this offseason.

Rank
60
Anthony Barr
OLB · Age: 30
The game-changing splash plays are mostly gone. Still, Barr is the rare linebacker who can rush, tackle and cover, barely leaving the field.

Rank
79
Sheldon Richardson
DT · Age: 31
Seems like no one has been on more of our Top 101 lists over the years than Richardson, who still delivers professional snaps on a year-to-year basis. Well, unless it’s this next guy …

Rank

Ndamukong Suh
DL · Age: 35
I admittedly have a soft spot for Suh, who was absolutely the Bucs' best defensive player in their playoff loss to the Rams. He still shows up in big moments.

Rank
92
Kevin King
CB · Age: 27
It’s a shame King got hurt last season, because he looked at home under first-year Packers defensive coordinator Joe Barry.

Rank
97
Dont'a Hightower
LB · Age: 32
It took Hightower a while to knock off the rust following his year off. His bigger issue is how the game has changed to target players like him in pass coverage, but his leadership and intelligence are both off the charts.

 

[jarntt]

Personally this ones a no for me. Our biggest need at WR is a guy to start when Gallup is out at the start of the year and he is also hurt, but saw this on Twitter and thought this was funny so:

OBJ and Barr would both be difference makers IMO

I agree. Not sure he makes the team but if he does it's like to be as a return guy and we need one (especially PR) so could work out for us

 

[Sir Robin Of Camelot]

I don't know. My expectations for him for this year are pretty low right now and he may still be looking at a small suspension. When I start hearing he matures and dedicates himself 100% to football I'll see that as huge.

If anything comes out of all this I would hope that be the primary thing for the kid regardless of how his football fortunes end up. That was an incredibly bad situation he placed himself in.

Cuts are starting.

No WTF moves here.

5 Players Waived as Cowboys Meet 85-Man Roster Limit ✭ Inside The Star

Aug 15, 2022 -- The deadline for first cuts isn't until tomorrow afternoon but the Dallas Cowboys went ahead and made their moves. They've waived five players today to

www.google.com

The most notable cut here is Ryan Nall. Signed to play fullback and on special teams, Nall has been missing time with his injury and couldn’t play in last Saturday’s preseason game.

As the only fullback on the roster before, Nall’s absence was filled by several tight ends used as backfield blockers and other formations. Waiving Nall could indicate that Dallas will forego the FB position completely in 2022.

None of the other cuts were expected to make this year’s roster. Kyron Brown, Ian Bunting, and Austin Faoliu were all holdovers from last year’s practice squad. Ty Fryfogle was an undrafted rookie this year but has fallen behind Dennis Houston and KaVontae Turpin in the fight for the bottom of the roster
