OK why? He's gonna be the top FA CB. He's obviously a good fit for them. They can dump Newman's butt and bring in Finnegan for the contract they would have given Asomugha last offseason. Finnegan is 27 and an elite corner talent, makes perfect sense to me. The other veteran option is trade for Asante Samuel and he's like 30. Smart move any way you see it.

Grimes is a better fit.Comment

Re: Dallas Cowboys War Room
You're forgetting Tim Jennings. He's a decent talent too. I say any of my selections could be an option for Dallas.

Re: Dallas Cowboys War Room
He's not worth the contract Asomugha would have gotten and, even if he was, throwing huge contracts at guys (especially one's carrying the rep he has) isn't what the Cowboys need to be doing right now. They need solid value pick ups and good drafting.OK why? He's gonna be the top FA CB. He's obviously a good fit for them.

Just ask youself "What would Jerry do?" Then assume the opposite is the correct move.

Re: Dallas Cowboys War Room
Not sure what you mean here. He's been fine in Baltimore rotating at guard and center, and Birk doesn't have much time left. Not sure what you may have heard but don't believe it.Comment

Re: Dallas Cowboys War Room
The person I quoted used the words unforgivable, awful, and mismanaged to characterize the Cowboys releasing Gurode. While Phil Costa (Gurode's replacement) didn't play great, I don't know that Gurode played that much better in B-more.
If Gurode responded with an All-Pro or Pro Bowl season (did he?), then I would feel similar to how "untrughby" described.Comment

Re: Dallas Cowboys War Room
its not about Gurode its how awful Costa was and they had to have seen that in the preseason given that Costa got all the reps while Gurode was out. They knew Costa was awful way below starting quality and cut Gurode anyways. Its unforgivable because we wasted at least 1 year "rebuilding" on a team that has to win now.The person I quoted used the words unforgivable, awful, and mismanaged to characterize the Cowboys releasing Gurode.

Re: Dallas Cowboys War Room
I have no idea how Costa played. But I also don't see how Gurode would need to play at an All pro or pro bowl level to dispute the comment that he "wasn't some star" in Baltimore or that letting him go was a mistake. He's not a full time starter in Baltimore so there's no way he'd be an All Pro, but he's an important part of a rotation that helps block for a run heavy offense very successfully. He's subbed in for injured players at guard and center as a starter without missing a beat and may be a full time starter if Birk retires. He's been a great addition.The person I quoted used the words unforgivable, awful, and mismanaged to characterize the Cowboys releasing Gurode.

Re: Dallas Cowboys War Room
Well, let's not pretend the entire the OL was not an issue in 2010 (maybe with the exception of Doug Free). Gurode started on that porous O-line. Even when he landed on the top 100 current players list this past offseason, scouts and media indicated he made that list on reputation alone as he wasn't playing that well.its not about Gurode its how awful Costa was and they had to have seen that in the preseason given that Costa got all the reps while Gurode was out. They knew Costa was awful way below starting quality and cut Gurode anyways. Its unforgivable because we wasted at least 1 year "rebuilding" on a team that has to win now.
In addition, the reports were that he came to camp out of shape. Not only that, he opted to have knee surgery late in the uncertain offseason. So it was his own doing that lead to him being hurt during training camp and the preseason. The buzz then was that Phil Costa was playing well, well enough to go cheaper at the position.
You're free to disagree with that of course. But I feel that if Gurode was still on the roster, the interior of the OL would still be an issue this coming offseason.Comment

Re: Dallas Cowboys War Room
Yes OL would still be an issue but having the ball snapped correctly to Romo wouldnt be an issue. If Gurode would have taken the pay cut he would have been our starter this season. Thats the big problem i have with how it went down. We tried to nickel and dime him when we had 18 mil in cap space so we could plan for the future. Its the whole idea of basically just giving up on the season by not using the best personnel you have available to you that makes me mad. Sure he might have been a little under-preforming his contract but we had the money to spend and I thought the goal was to win a SB this year. I was mistaken.Well, let's not pretend the entire the OL was not an issue in 2010 (maybe with the exception of Doug Free). Gurode started on that porous O-line.

Re: Dallas Cowboys War Room
LOL, surely you haven't forgotten about the 2007 game against the Rams when Gurode sent the ball sailing over Tony's head and he made a miraculous scramble for the first down
. Gurode has had his share of whacky shotgun snaps.
Understood, and I definitely see and respect where you're coming from with that thinking.If Gurode would have taken the pay cut he would have been our starter this season.

Re: Dallas Cowboys War Room
OK good. Its clear to me that drafting the best player available is the best option for Dallas. I think drafting for a C is a bigger need then CB. You can always address that need in FA. Drafting DeCastro at #14 makes perfect sense for Dallas.

Re: Dallas Cowboys War Room
If we don't draft DeCastro or Dennard, I will be very pissed off...DeCastro is arguably the top interior lineman.PSN-Shugarooo
