if Boldin or Jones are not answers to upgrading the WR corp, that still leaves a deep threat type WR dilemma. Say what happens is we do nothing, then Miles Austin gets hurt, I hope you see my point. Patrick Crayton is not a deep threat reciever. There is no WR we should get that takes a majority of passes in any event. But to ignore a glaring weakness in the offense is also foolish, and thus the reason for the post.

I agree that the passes can be distributed amongst what we already have. Heck, I am salivating over the potential use of Felix Jones in a “Preston Pearson” type role. But deep threat reciever with speed is Miles Austin alone, and that would make the pass offenses “TO Syndrome” of not being able to beat press coverage a big problem for other parts of the offense.

but I have come away feeling that Matt Jones or any other troubled player is not what we need… I mean we are in the midst of cleaning house supposedly! I think as far as skilled positions on offense we have plenty to build on. If we are going to add another man I suggest looking to beef up the O-line with an experienced player. The O-line is what worries me if anything about this season. Any suggestions on that end?

Hey there others like Mike Feurry he killed us some in the past and their seem to be a Detroit migration goin on he used to be killer too.Good as a possible second or third just in case of injuries or if no one pans out.

Theirs Harrison i doubt if he will take less that is the reason y the colts release him.. Having him would seem like sloopy seconds any way if you know what i mean.I was hopen on Torry Holt but he bank up wit the Jags for a nice pay day.

 Bring n Matt just might as well say bring in Pac too at least pac didnt violate his probation not league but State ORDER PROBATION and snort coke. That stuff will mess up an athlete no wonder he couldnt catch nothing over there.

But I do think he’d be a great insurance policy.

I also don’t think any of our receivers measure up to Boldin, so that would clearly be an upgrade…but likely and unnecessary one. We have the receivers to win right now, assuming they stay healthy. I’ve been on the Matt Jones bandwagon just to bolster the receiving corps and add depth, which is something we’re in dire need of.

3 of the 5 guys we are currently relying on(Austin, Hurd, Stanback) have injury concerns, and could even be called injury prone. Roy even played hurt last season. That’s my only concern, and the only reason I say go after a guy like Matt Jones. Should he compete for a starting job? Sure, why not, but I’m completely satisfied with Austin starting opposite Roy. But should one of them go down, at least we know we have a viable option to come in and take their place. Crayton’s solid, but I don’t think I’m comfortable with a Roy/Crayton or a Miles/Crayton combo.

So, to wind my long winded and most likely redundant post down, yes, we should do something at WR, but nothing TOO drastic. Miles, Roy, and Crayton can get the job done. We just need an insurance policy, and with Hurd and Stanback’s injury history, it’s probably a good idea to look elsewhere for it…

because you make the argument we need another deep threat but then you advocate we should go after Boldin, who isn’t any faster than Crayton, RW or Hurd, and is much slower than Stanback.

I personally feel the Cowboys need to roll with the young guys and not bring in a vet to stunt their development.

alot of people always bring up Boldin as a potential Cowboy- even you have seen the media rumors from time to time. I don’t believe Boldin would be a good pick up, but definitely a glamour move. But the fact still remains what would our reciever corp look like if Austin was injured? Talking about Boldin in the post is just really adressing The popular move of Acquiring him, which I don’t believe we should do. Would you be happy with what we have minus Austin during the season? I wouldn’t be….

I keep thinking about one guy coming back possibly thats Todd Lowber. He had no football IQ last year but he did shine at time. I just think about if they would have kept him around on the practice squad and started to groom him this year. He did get clown last year but the guy was basically thrown out there in TC late in the offseason. He is exactly what the C boys need right now another deep ball threat ,a competitor , and a gifted athlete. He really just never was given an equal chance.

is our Razorback formation…c’mon. If he ISN’T the trigger man in that formation, flanked by Felix, it’s damn near blasphemy. He could serve a purpose as a back up to Roy and Miles, and still contribute right away. All parties satisfied…

Having a lack of talented skill players is not this team’s issue!

This team has to play better in the trenches on both sides of the ball (especially in December). Let’s make THAT the focus of any player acquisition conversations and not the glamour positions.

Reactionaries, who are pissing their pants because 81 is gone and think we won’t score a touchdown through the air without him, need to let this all play out.

Pac didnt start the fight the bodyguard did ,Deio said so. If the cowboys would have suspended him the comminsioner would not have. Everything bought attention to the cowboys that year to Romo,Roy Williams even a fly fart.

I would rely heavily on Mr. Austin to step up this season, he is coming into form. He possesses the height, speed and good YAC skills. He does not have much pro time, and was not given a tremendous amount of receiver game time, but I think we will start to see a more physical possession receiver type game out of him. Especially since he’s been toughened up by the “return game” time he has had in the past. As a deep threat, he will be a good decoy because of his size and speed, and I’m still thinking about that great catch vs. Green Bay last season.
