Here's a mini-profile of new linebacker Carlos Polk.
Tim Cowlishaw recounts the week that was. And truthfully, I can't remember a crazier week.
Pacman could still come back to the Cowboys if Roger Goodell says OK.
BTB-regular silverblue5 discusses the possibility of adding CB Ty Law. scottmaui does too.
Oh yeah, I kind of forgot, we play a team called the St. Louis Rams this weekend. Check out SB Nation's Rams blog, Turf Show Times, for all the info on the Rams.
Tony Romo is not the only QB with a finger problem in this game, Marc Bulger has a black-and-blue digit but has been practicing just fine. Also, Orlando Pace is iffy for the game which could be a nice break for us.

Before signing Law
A lot depends on the performance of Jenkins and Scandrick this weekend. I’m actually looking forward to see our rookie CBs battle-tested. Just like Aaron Ross last year, it seems that gameday experience will be the biggest factor in their growth.
Jenkins, especially, looks like he needs to stay on the field to improve. Would it be worth giving up a few plays so that he’s in top gear by the end of the season?
31 teams may dream of the Superbowl but only one team, the Dallas Cowboys, expect it.

Ty Law, interesting
I wonder how many steps he’s lost.

Can we sign Law
and put pacman on IR (Idiot Reserve) for the season?

Get What?
He was suspended for DRINKING. He did not violate any team rule nor any NFL rule. Even the Georgia authorities where Pac is under probation, said he did NOT brake any law.

So waht’s your point? He was told not to drink and get in any confrontations and he did just that. Doesn’t matter if there was a report filed or not.
by Joe_D on Oct 17, 2008 12:00 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
So Drinking is not allowed but Cocaine use is OK??? Does it make sense that Pac gets suspended for drinking but not Matt Jones for cocaine possession?
Also please don’t tell me that Pac had previous incidents because HELLO, he served a year long suspension for all that.

no, that he had a zero tolerence
wit the league and Cowboys, the punk is such a moron, he couldn’t figure it out.
BTW, he did violate the league personal conduct policy, Goodell cited that reason for the suspension.

Wrong!!!
Can you show me where it says on the “Personal Conduct Policy” that the NFL player cannot DRINK.
~Texas Massacre 08~
by TheHeat on Oct 17, 2008 2:16 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I don't think it was the NFL conduct policy he violated
It was in his agreement with the Commish that he couldn’t drink in public. Which might or might not have gone noticed, except for the fact that he was involved in the scuffle where police were called.
He’s done, I wouldn’t count on only a 4 game suspension, it could also be indefinite.
Anyway, I’m sick of this guy. He really isn’t worth the trouble. He’s not going to change until he hits rock bottom, which probably means jail and no money.

Who Are You...
To call Pacman a piece of garbage? All the trouble he did, he was a member of the Tennessee Titans and not under Dallas. He came to Dallas for a fresh start and all he got was a wrongful suspension while a coke-head in J-Ville and a gun-toting reciever in Indianapolis are still playing today.

I Agree...
It was in his agreement with the Commish that he couldn’t drink in public.
He was suspended for Drinking and not for the scuffle. It makes me sick to hear that he violated the conduct policy which is very untrue.

That's true
And if Pacman had done his thing and been driven home without any incident we wouldn’t even know about it. But once the police were called and witnesses made statements about seeing him intoxicated, then Goodell couldn’t let it slide.

From USA Today's site
According to the article no probation violation in Georgia and Goodell did say the reason he was suspended was the violation of Personal Conduct Policy.
http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/nfl/cowboys/2008-10-15-pacman-probation_N.htm
At any rate I wouldn’t count on him helping out the Cowboys the rest of the year.

Get real
Punkman had gotten himself into enough trouble with the league that Jerry had to hire a babysitter to keep him out of trouble. So what does Punkman do? Fights with his babysitter.
How stupid can this punk be? Jerry gave him one last chance and he blew it.
If you are on probation and subject to being suspended, you don’t go out partying and picking fights with your babysitting detail.
The punk is worthless and shouldn’t be wearing the star.

newman
I think if Newman was healthy we would have cut him..
In Jerry’s eye we got him cheap and he is a possbile insurance policy if Newman is out longer than expected.

I think even if Newman had been healthy the Cowboys would not have cut him
Wating for the NFL to suspend him means the Cowboys get picks from Tennessee

I would not call a sociopath with a history of violence a punk to his face. In fact, if I saw him coming, I’d cross the street. You got me there.

Interesting thought
What if someone did call him a punk to his face? I actually wouldn’t mind the opportunity to do just that. Just to see HOW he would react. Would he just laugh it off like any sane person should? Or would he become enraged and take a swing at you?

Did see it through
Pacman is through. Jerry gave him a last chance and the jerk pist it away.
No big loss. He didn’t show all that much on the field.

He was over rated in TENN too. However, I thought he was your guys best cover corner so far this season. I thought for sure he was going to give the Boys a boost in the PR game but that didnt happen.
by Joe_D on Oct 17, 2008 1:05 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Technically
I don’t think Pacman is on the roster right now, that’s why we had room to sign LB Polk. Someone correct me if I’m wrong though. If we had to cut someone, who would you cut to bring this guy on?

It was Sam Hurd going on IR that gavePolk a roster spot

I think we saw the last of Sam Hurd as a cowboy.....
He is a UFA after the season and he will not be resigned.

most likely
Someone should pick him up next year. He’s made some key 3rd down plays for us, and on run plays, I’ve always seen him block wholeheartedly.

I would really like for them to cut Crayton in the off season
and resign Hurd. Hurd is alot younger, a little faster with just as good hands. He would be cheap to resign also. There is a real good chance that Austin will be the #3 next year anyway. He just makes plays when he is in there.

Crayton's contract
Will probably keep him on the team. To be fair, I have nothing against either Crayton or Hurd. I just felt Crayton never lived up to his #2 billing. But I still think he’s a darn good slot receiver.
Although Austin at #3 is inevitable. Maybe trade Crayton?

I Agree
Hurd is gone. Austin has been improving with 3 TDs so far, Amendola is getting plenty of practice time and with the recent acquisition of RW2, there is no room here for Hurd.

Yeah, but Pacman's spot allowed us to sign RW2
And McBriar going on IR allowed us to sign Paulescu. So we would have to cut someone to sign Law.

And Sam Hurd's spot was used for Polk
We’re at 53 now, not including Pac who is on “Reserve Suspended” so yeah, we’d have to cut someone, most likely Alan Ball.

Forget about Ty Law
there is a reason he is unemployed. We drafted two CB’s for a reason. It’s time to stop spoon feeding Jenkins and let him play. I’ll take my chances with Henry, Jenknins and Scandrick. As much as Henry sucks right now he is still better than Law.

I’m getting the impression that Brad will start on Sunday.
Burnett will be a game time decision.
Proctor will start again at LG.
Tank and Davis are still questionable.

Apparently so
I know he was coming out of Denver’s zone blocking scheme. But he’s had time enough to get ours down, especially since he had prior experience with them (or close to them).

Just moved to Oahu this weekend and was disappointed to see that they aren’t televised.
Do the Islands get a lot of ’Boys games?

I was staioned on Oahu(HickamAFB) for 6 years from 98-04 and we hardly ever got Cowboys games you get most of the 49’ers games there. I spent many an early morning at All Star Cafe on Kalakaua Ave to watch the Cowboys games during the Campo years no less. But I dont know if they are showing them more now since the team is alot better and the niners stink.
