Well this is a cowboy board. If you dont like getting called out on troll posting. Get the fiuck out!!!

yes, it's the cowboys board. i'm doing just fine here, but thanks.

 

[Ojb81]

You have like 5 times as many posts as me. Pretty sure you’ve spent a lot of more time defending your teams than I have.

yeah that's what it is. i'm busy from dusk 'til dawn, defending my team on my board. because that board is so very precious to me.

Good move. Thompson and Austin add much needed speed. And yeah Gallup is a stud and is going to shock people

Hadn't heard this. Interesting. Not really a big fan of Austin. Would like to see if they use him out of the backfield on 3rd down a little. We still have been missing that type of player since Dunbar. A scat guy that can make moves in space and be a tough matchup. Also, I'm not so sure Switzer is on the team this year

You are correct sir.

I'm not that excited by Austin. Let him prove himself and I'll be glad to be wrong.

Of he doesn't prove it in camp I hope they don't keep him just because he is a known name.

Of course you're not. He can't prioritize, because he's black. Righty Oscar???

Get off this board, RACIST.

Switzer looks way too giddy after a devastating loss, we don't need that on this team.

I believe he muffed 33% of the punts he fielded last year.
Avoids contact and really just isn't very strong at all
Can't block anyone
Had issues catching the ball the past 3 years


Has crazy, breakaway speed in the open field

Thanks for info. I just hope he improved his ball security. We had issues with switzer as well on returns. He had a critcal fumbled punt in the LA game.

Looks to me like a swap of a guy coaches lost trust in for a guy coaches lost trust in. In other words, a push. Upside of a guy playing for his next contract here. I’m OK with this and like Manster said - only costs a 6th rounder.

Well, there is no doubt he was a huge bust and a horrible move as a first round pick for the Rams. That's water under the bridge at this point and not part of what we are trying to decide. The Question for Dallas is: is he worth a 6th round pick, can he make the roster as a STs player and specialty Offensive guy? If he can its a good move. We have a huge need for a guy with ability in space out of the backfield. That sure seems to be him. A few touches a game on Offense and playing STs is my hope and I think there is a good chance he can do it. We will find out soon. But the cost wasn't very high so IMO it was a risk I'm glad we took.

Adding a speedster like Tabon Austin and thumper in the 7th Rd to compliment Zeke is real nice in theory.

Gawd, don't tell me you're a Cowboys fan? What did the Cowboys do to deserve you?

And then a "do it all" kinds guy like Rod Smith. But we likely go deep at WR and TE. Can we go 4 at RB and also a FB?

As a Rams fan, I was excited and wanted to love Austin. His carelessness with the ball caused him to stop seeing opportunities. I believe the talent is there for him to be an impact player, he just needs to work on the focus. To many dropped passes and punts. And you can't just keep using the same two bubble screen plays for him.
