I think with another training camp, he will develop some good chemistry with Romo and RW would then be our proven #1 WR, at least lets hope so and that the rumors of his poor work habits aren’t true.

I could definitely live with RW, Austin, Crayton, Hurd and Stanback as our WRs for 2009.

That’s why I always LOVE it when talented juniors declare that they’re entering the upcoming draft… because it adds depth to the talent pool and increases the chances of our Beloved Boyz to land potentially productive players.

SAY IT AIN’T SO, BEANIE!!!

A little research on TO’s contract. I wanted to see what would be the cost of cutting him.

6/2/2008: Signed a four-year, $34 million contract. The deal contains $13 million guaranteed, including a $12.9 million signing bonus. $100,000 of T.O.’s 2008 salary is guaranteed. 2008: $830,000, 2009: $2.67 million (+ $3.1 million roster bonus due in June), 2010: $7 million, 2011: $7.5 million, 2012: Free Agent. Cap charges: $5.721 million (2008), $8.995 million (2009), $10.725 million (2010), $10.225 million (2011).

If done before the June roster bonus, the gross cap hit for cutting TO would be $12.9 mil x 3/4, or $9,675,000. TO’s cap charge if he plays next season is $8,995,000. Cutting TO would cost Dallas an additional net $680,000.

Now lets look at cutting him after next season.

Gross cap hit would be $6,450,000 from accelerated signing bonus. His cap number if he plays is $10,725,000, according to the above. Dallas would save $4,275,000 off the 2010 cap (assuming there is one and the rules dont change) by cutting him then. That seems not unlikely.

Back to next year. An incremental $680K is not insurmountable. You could argue either for or against it.

if he stays cool. i’ll take the double digit TDs. if he goes, i will not miss the whining and constant yapping.

unless he is an unrestricted FA, I don’t see him leaving.

HAYNESWORTH!!!!

Over Romo’s fumbles and interceptions.

take TO’s yapping and double digits TDs over someone who’s quiet and 5 TDs.

Austin and Owens were running wide open vs. Baltimore but Mr. Yips couldn’t get either the ball. The problem isn’t the wide receivers, its the quarterback who can’t win a big game.

he really seemed to have a light come on this year as far as going after the ball, holding on to the ball, using his speed and his body. He does seem a bit delicate though. Just as he really gets going, he gets hurt.

I actually like TO, I think his motives are sound but his methods are not. He wants to win and he works hard. Some would blame his perceived ‘selfishness’ as being self serving, but I think he truly believes if he gets the ball, he can make good things happen for his team. He goes about it in a way that can alienate others, but I sense that he is a genuine competitor. He and Witten are twins in many ways and polar opposites in others.

I’ve known a couple of people who had plantar fasciaitis <sp and both of them said it was crippling. It can heal with special inshoe inserts and time, but they said it hurt like hell. Roy W had this problem and the pain could cause you to round off a route or go less than 100%. We’ll have to see how he and Romo match up next year, but for this year, it could explain some things.

I’m all for keeping TO and Garrett, making everyone act like big boys, getting some pitbull OL backups and with a healthy Romo, Witten, Felix and Barber, Kosier and Flo…see what this offense can do.

Yips, or The yips is an expression describing an apparently baseless sudden loss of ability in one of a number of different sports.

Professional or leading amateur sportsmen affected by the Yips sometimes recover their ability, sometimes compensate by changing technique, or may be forced to abandon their sport at the highest level.

Perfectly stated by Wikipedia… time for Romo to try golf.

Does anyone on here think that members of the team or members of the press check out these blogs?

That’s Jeremy Maclin, not David Maclin, that’s going pro.

Regardless whether the Cowboys cut TO or not, they need to draft a speedy wide receiver in this year’s draft. That would open things up for Owens (If here), Williams, even Witten. Does anybody know of any sleepers at wide receiver in this year’s draft?

Supposedly Roy has plantar fasciitis. This should not happen to players who train regularly. This pain from the injury occurs after rest, so if you’re warmed up enough, the pain should be minimal.

Doesn’t look like any underclassmen safeties have declared.

RW to camp and make him compete with Austin for the number two. If RW wins out, Austin can back up both wideout spots and return KOs. If Austin wins out, release RW for cap reasons. Crayton is okay with me in the slot. Of course, we still have to see how things are set after the draft and free agency rounds.

Jerry is really going to put high pressure on Wade and the team to produce a winner in the new stadium’s inaugural year. I just hope we don’t play the Eagles in the home opener.

By the way, I think the Eagles will beat the Giants tomorrow.

FOR 15-20 years WE’VE been glamoring for two legit top tier WR’s, NOW we have them……STFU already…
