The New Over-The-Hill Gang?

I highly doubt Law would come to Dallas. If he did it would be as our third corner and that just isn’t realistic. If he can prove his foot is ok someone will offer him a starting job. I don’t think we can pay him what he wants, either. I am really not that interested in him. We just signed Henry plus we drafted three corners last year and signed Frazier. We don’t need another over-30 player.

Yeah, I’m being overly sanguine about this. I think the only reason Dallas would consider signing Law is if he’d play free safety for them.

And you’re right about his health. There are teams like K.C. with big needs. If he can convince someone he’s still cornerback material, he’ll get a bigger deal than Dallas is willing to pay. OTOH, the Steelers doctors flunked him. But that raises the Marco Rivera issue. One injured player is more than enough.

Sounds like a bad investment all the way around. Too expensive if he’s healthy, too risky if he’s not.

The Boys already have 12+ million / year invested in their secondary. There is no opportunity NOW to bring in another cornerback. If Bill is infact interested in Law, perhaps its as an insurance policy? Another of Bill’s (in)famous back-pocket players he might be able to court in the future if (a) the cowboys have need and (b) if Law isn’t snapped up by someone else sooner and © if a desparate-to-play Law agrees to a small one-year deal.

Maybe Ty Law would do what Deion or Woodson and move to Nickel or Safety. Let Henry and Newman play Corner.

If he is healthy he is as good as their is, plus he plays it tough without drawing penalties. Something we seem to have a hard time doing.

I cannot see paying Ty Law money, but so far does not look like anybody else in the NFL is either. He made 10 million last year on the sideline, maybe he will come play with us for a one or two, consider it charity. We could use all the charity available.

I still like our chances with Bill picking at 11, 20, and 42 overall. No third rounder but hey. If we cannot fill LB, Safety, or Defensive End with those three picks then our head coach is not the legend that I and the rest of the world think he is. I think we need a new WR too. Maybe in a later round but Glenn, Johnson are aging and Morgan is less talented than Bryant was. How did we go to three of the best at the beginning of the year last year………..oh if Terry had not been injured. Thank goodness for Witten.

Jones, Witten, Johnson, Glenn, add a real deep speedy threat and I think we are hitting on something.

Let Bill work his magic on the Defensive draft picks and we ought to be serious playoff contenders and division Winners. The Eagles have had their time, now it is ours. Just like the late 80s and 90s when Buddy Ryan and Randall couldn’t get it done, then the Cowboys stepped up and took over the division.

It is time. Lets go Cowboys………Lets GO!!!!

I think you underestimate the need at WR. I would not be at all surprised to
see the 11th pick used on a WR, especially if Dallas really likes Troy Williamson.

I think they will take williamson at 20 if he is there. He is a reach at 11. If he’s not there at 20 they will probabaly trade down and gain more picks like they did last year.

Scott

Williamson is a playmaker. Like I mentioned in earlier threads, you take him if he’s ther @ 20. He runs a 4.3. I have not seen speed like that ever in a Cowboys uniform at wide receiver. Deion and Alexander Wright ecluded – some may argue neither were wide receivers. * ) I stand by Merriman and Williamson in the first round. They need a fast receiver. If Law comes here it would have to be free safety. The 4-3 doesn’t allow for him to be a productive corner in this defense. He likes to float too much.

pardon my spelling errors before – I’m holding a 3 month old and it’s bedtime!

Yeah, I agree…. Merriman at 11 and Williamson at 20 would be ideal. I haven’t seen much of Williamson though. I know he’s tall and very fast. Can he go over the middle if needed or is he a one-dimensional burner??? Does he have decent hands? I’m just concerned he’s another Dontae Stallworth who can burn but can’t catch anything.

Scott

Hey if a great wideout is available I say pick em up. But I think there is depth at wideout in this draft. Probably more so than at any other position except maybe RB. If I could get Edwards or Williams at 11 great but I doubt either would be available.

Also there used to be an old saying you always take the best player available not drafting for position. If the Cowboys had stuck to that Joe Montana would have been a Cowboy. But with Staubach and White they drafted Doug Cosby instead. Now Cosby was great. However, think of the rings we would have had if Montana was A)a cowboy and B) not a 49er……….

Take the best player available no matter which side of the ball. If Dallas does get Howard they should definitely add WR earlier if a great player is available.

Perhaps they could also bring back Ken Stabler as a backup QB.

Ah, Troll, hasn’t your 45 of the Love ‘Ya Blue Fight Song
worn out yet? They’re not coming back! :0

latest tsn mock has Clayton at 1.11, Merriman at 1.20, and Ernest shazor at 2.42..

Maybe so, ….but I will be back.

Different subject. However, same matter. The draft. What’s the deal? Derrick Johnson, 6-3, 242 lbs, 40 yds in 4.52 secs. Need I say more. What the heck is going on. Is Parcell and Jones sleeping? Many other points to make, however, I leave it at this. Looking for feedback. Thanks.
