Kerry Hyder has had as good a preseason as Taco IMO. I think he replaced Crawford after this season since he can play end and 3 tech.
DannyDuberstein said:
How about we let them play some actual games before deciding Taco has improved? Guys that look pretty good in the preseason against 2's and 3's and then disappear in the regular season are a dime a dozen.
He can only dream of having the impact of his older sibling, Gloria Campos.Orlando Ayala Cant Read said:
Have you guys seen Jake Campos on the OL? That dude is the most underrated kid on the roster right now. Cowboys are schmucks if they let him go. He's got all pro written all over him.
Can't be any doubt about him making the team nowmike_ags_fan12 said:
Donovan had his 3rd pick of the preseason tonight.

Jerry's not flinching. And I love it.
Heard on the radio that zeke's agent is being a jackass. Zeke and his agent want "historic" everything. Highest contract. Highest signing bonus. Highest guaranteed.jr15aggie said:investorAg83 said:

Yup, he's definitely been 'Good Jerry' when it comes to Zeke. And why shouldn't he be. He's backed Zeke since day 1. My understanding is they have offered him a very nice deal despite Zeke still having 2 years left on his rookie deal.
If Zeke and/or Zeke's agent are going to a be horse's ass, well, then they are going to be a horse's ass who are going to make a hell of a lot less money than they should have in about, oh, 15 days!

Zeke is "all about me" and who gives an eff about the team from what I gather. The thing I keep going back to is at least emmitt smith won us a super bowl before he pulled this maneuver.
I don't fault a pro athlete for wanting to get paid and provide for his family, but when it starts hurting the team and it's ability to win? That's a big problem.Kellso said:LOL....from what you gather.

Here is a newsflash for you. All pro athletes are about themselves, and their money before the team....and they should be.
The NFL is not high school football, it is the entertainment industry. It is first and foremost a business.
Where you alive when Emmit Smith was going through his holdout?
The reason I ask was that Jerry was using the same arguments to try and deny Emmit his money.
I remember 1993 like it was yesterday.
All you Pro Billionaire people will be singing a different tune if the Cowboys start this season 0-2 or 1-3. Jerry Jones was about to get ran out of Dallas after the 93 Cowboys lost to the Bills at home.
The 1993 Cowboys would not have had to beat New York in the the last game of the season to get Home Field advantage if they had not started the season 0-2.

The longer this drags out, the more I'm ready to just be done with him. Roll with Pollard, trade Zeke at the end of the year, and move on. Some valuable $$$ that could be spent in places that help with SB's.

No problem with athletes wanting to take care of themselves and their future, but there are some massive, key differences between Emmitt and Zeke's situations:Kellso said:LOL....from what you gather.

Aren't you guys always talking about NFC title game or bust...and you want to see this team go to the next level...etcjr15aggie said:DannyDuberstein said:

That's one of the only reasons why I'm not overly concerned if this whole charade is the end of Zeke in Dallas. We have lots of guys that we'd like to keep if we aren't investing in Zeke long term.
Who's to say we shouldn't give that money to Collins? Good OTs don't grow on trees and our 2 best lineman currently have nagging back issues. I think part of any teams plan is to consistently have a good O-line.
Point is I agree, there are other spots on this team, right now, where we could use that money.
Quote:
And now you guys are talking about stiffing our best player to give the money to a pretty good at best offensive tackle????
Elite offensive tackles like Tyron Smith do not grow on trees.
OT's with the talent level of La'el Collins do grow on trees. Collins is easily replaceable.
Well said. I'm ready to be done with the guy.ramblin_ag02 said:
Zeke has two years on his contract, plays the most replaceable position in the league, has been in all sorts of off the field drama, and had his team and owner stick their neck out for him on multiple occasions. Now he refuses to play until unless he gets the highest RB contract ever. Screw that. If there is one superstar on our team we can most easily get along without, it is a prima donna, high dollar RB
