Fish said awhile back that Tyron says his back is 110% and will not be an issue moving forward....we'll see. But GD that man is a freak athlete.
Feel like big guys don't suddenly stop having chronic back problems
agreed.

also, I love Fish but for years he's almost been a mouthpiece for the Jones family. just a step below Spagnola.

Well it's good thing we have some insurance at tackle now with Williams, Collins and Fleming.

Reading about Irving's offseason pissed me off and then fired me up when I read what Sean Lee said to him.

Can't put a price on leaders like Lee.

6 years $84M, $40M guaranteed for Martin. Crazy an OG is making that kind of money.

Is he really the 2nd highest paid OL in the league?

Great player but I don't think any guard is worth that much.

The NFL is paying guards now.

Thing about Martin, for me, is he's never missed a game (knock on wood).

There's only one gaurd in the league worth that.

I actually don't have an issue with paying Martin his money. Usually the cowboys make dumb mistakes with this kinda stuff. Martin has basically been nothing short of EXCELLENT since day one of stepping into the NFL. Martin is worth whatever he feels he's worth. The offense would be much worse without him.

All the talent in the world, yet he/'s gonna be an unemployable broke-ass addict before he's 35.

Martin is the talent you resign. Irving isnt.

Irving showed up to #Cowboys minicamp so he wouldn't be fined $84K after having NOT shown up to be drug-tested, which now costs him $685K. Good God, son, use The Big Calculator.

Let him sit... Hope he balls out once he gets back... And then wave goodbye at the end of the season (contract expires).

I guess it's possible we get him back on a one year deal... Can't see any team offering a guy like this a multi year deal. What a dumb ass, sad really.

No, cut Irving immediately.

This crap has to stop. Every year it seems the Cowboys have a defensive player suspended. Why do we carrying these guys? Ultimately they cause distractions that lead to loss of focus as a team. With the league being ultra competItive, the Cowboys can't afford this.

And what message do they send to the fans, the league and the teammates? "Oh, it's ok, happens all the time, don't worry about it, we'll keep you on the team and any body else, feel free to take drugs or abuse women, it's all good here..."

What the hell does Grant Hill's dad doing? Cashing a check and playing golf?

What would you have him doing to prevent this crap? The culture is set by jerrah, not Calvin Hill, and that culture is about having fun, not winning.

I'd expect him to know when his piss is dirty and fill up his bladder with clean urine before the test.

I'm pretty sure Irving missed a test. Not saying he isn't smoking but he didn't technically test positive either.

Um, because D-Law was one of those guys 2 years ago and last year he had 14 1/2 sacks! That's why.

Gil Brandt is saying the next Cowboys to have a Probowl debut will be Chedo.

Very well could be right. I haven't posted specifics because we've all heard about the practice heroes before... But I've read nothing but good things about this guy. He was really good in mini camp.

couldn't agree more. cutting Irvin would be ridiculous since its been like 2 decades since he's even been on the team.

Hmmm.... No knee brace on Jaylon it would appear.

He would obviously be a steal if he somehow returned to his pre-injury form. No idea if that will ever happen though.
DannyDuberstein

Hopefully he can improve. He was basically the worst linebacker in football last year. And I don't mean that to be insulting. I say it based on a segment Bob Sturm did awhile back based on an expert that had broken down LB play in the league in detail, including Jaylon's. He was objectively absolutely horrible.

His dropfoot condition is supposedly gone as well, of he sucks again this year it will be from dumbassery and not the knee injury. His problems last season were as much about rust and inexperience as it was the injury IMO.
Ag Natural

Supposedly he graded out pretty well on his first 30 or so snaps a game. Then as he had to play more the performance dropped significantly.

I thought his problems last year were a complete lack of lateral speed and lacking the ability to quickly change directions. If it was actually rust that caused terrible pursuit angles and not the injury, that would be great

What I've heard is he had to just guess and go last year. He couldn't change directions fast enough so reading & reacting wasn't always an option. Probably had a lot to do with him, as the poster said above, getting worse as the season went along (teams figured & exposed his limitations).

I'm still very pessimistic about him as a player, I'll believe it when I see it. Love the guy though, really rooting for him.

Needs to deliver soon because there are only 2 seasons left on his rookie deal and he becomes a UFA. So even if he improves greatly over the next season or two, the question of "what was the point?" will still remain.

That's why Jerry taking risks on injured or mentally disturbed players in the draft drives me crazy. Value is hard to find in the NFL, and there are only 2 proven sources of value, elite quarterbacks and rooke contracts. Picking someone like Jaylon means you're already wasting a year on his contract, not to mention time the next year to get up to speed. And that's the best case scenario. After that you're paying market value and hoping he can play to his cap number. No matter how good they are it's hard to come out ahead after the rookie deal, and it's really easy to sign a bad contract.
