Cowboys links

Fresh batch of links to Cowboys articles.
DC.com goes in-depth on Isaiah Stanback and how injuries have frustrated his career.
Frustration? Yeah, and then some.
"Oh man, it's pretty high," Stanback said when asked to rate his frustration level from 1-10. "I don't know, probably an 11 or 12 maybe."
We're right there with you on that one.
More links below.
In an article in a Tampa Bay paper, they discuss the Bucs expenditures on player costs between 2004 and 2008 using a recent article on NFL.com. They conclude the Bucs have spent the least of anybody in that time-frame. What does this have to with Dallas?
Conversely, Dallas led the NFL with $566.89 million spent during that time frame, while Seattle is second ($552.42 million), followed by Washington ($547.37 million). However, between 2004 and 2008, Dallas and Tampa Bay have the same amount of playoff appearances and wins- two appearances and no wins.
Ouch!
Nick Eatman wades into the "next Ring of Honor inductees" debate.
The Cowboys unveiled the new logo for Cowboys Stadium. They wanted a clean, timeless logo. What do you guys think?
Another take on the stadium at ESPN.
A Martellus Bennett video that shows he's still nutty.
Get your Cowboys jerseys here! The Cowboys are building a new merchandise hub that will cover 400,000 square feet.
A Washington Post blogger is sick over the Cowboys fans at Romo's golf appearance.
This is when I knew it was gonna be bad. We were on Congressional's 12th fairway, Tiger and Tony's third hole, when I saw a father and daughter in matching Romo jerseys perched around the green. That would be Joe Ramirez from Mechanicsburg, Pa., along with his 5-year old daughter, Dallas. Yeah, Dallas.

DeMarcus Ware rated top edge rusher.
According to NFL.com’s Bucky Brooks.
But that’s no surprise to any of us. What’s funny is reading the comments section where they say that NFL.com and the rest of the media always kisses the Cowboys’ butts. [sarcasm] I know I’ve been feeling the love from the media lately. [/sarcasm] There’s even one comment that says where are the top 2 sack leaders from last year? Um, the #1 sack leader was rated #1.

Rod Woodson had him as his #1 pass rusher on Total Access the other day.

Some guys on Sirius had him behind Merriman
And while I know that this is homeristic, I don’t see that. Steroids aside, Merriman is really only a pass rusher. Ware is excelling in each OLB responsibility plus taking down the QB at a furious rate.
The best thing about Ware is that he is still in the process of perfecting his technique. Barring injury, he still hasn’t reached his ceiling.

I'm eager to see Merriman this year.
A couple of years removed from the roids, I’m curious to see if he can produce the same results.

I still remember him getting run over by MJD, I doubt that would have happened to Dware.
Ignore the Mainstream Media, EMBRACE THE HATE!!!!
by cowboy78 on Jul 2, 2009 10:07 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
That was awesome.
In Merriman’s defense, I think he saw that it was a fake and took his eyes off of MJD and was getting ready to back pedal into coverage or chase the QB if he tried to bootleg. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5K1g4SDO2k

I have to agree
Wonder what he will be like without the roids?

Castillo's been pretty good without them.

They're probably not allowed to use it.
I think that’s considered an NFL trademark. There’s actually a case with the Supreme Court right now concerning whether individual teams are allowed to market themselves as individual entities or whether each team is merely a part of the NFL (that’s a massive over simplification of the case which I’m not informed or intelligent enough to completely understand). That’s why Dr. Pepper was the official soft drink of Texas Stadium but not the Cowboys. I’m sure that’s why they developed a logo for the stadium so that it can be a substantial marketing entity.

That article about team expenditure on players is a BS in terms of
yes we have the same results as Bucs in that time frame, but it doesn’t account for the period before and after. Bucs spent less, because they already had the core of their players signed, and we at the same time were building the team. On top of that in the next 4 years span I bet they will be spending more, because of rebuilding and we will be winning playoff games

Im just hoping another WR blows
Stanback out of the water this training camp and makes cutting him that much easier for Jerry. Sorry, I’m not a fan of him and think he will be nothing more than the 5th WR on the roster, if he makes the team. I will be amazed if Stanback can make it through training camp without getting injured. I’m pulling for Jefferson to be that 5th WR……JMO

Well, hopefully he gets cut so we can stop wasting our time talking about him.....

And
if he makes the team and has a break out year, we can talk about him without it being a waste of time.

You have a better chance of hitting the lottery...
Stanback will break his leg before he has a break out year…..This guy can’t make it through the offseason without getting injured…..Stanback is a total waste of a roster spot, especially when you have players like Jefferson, Ogletree who actually know how to play the position better than Stanback.

I like the logo
I just would like it to always say Cowboys Stadium, instead of some corporation’s name

Hate the Logo! Needs the Star!
The Star is the symbolic image of the Cowboys. Now I know that this is the Stadiums logo, but heck man, it is Cowboys Stadium after all!
Looks like a frigging McDonald’s logo.

I agree we are not in St. Louis whats with the arches?
by rioplayer7 on Jul 2, 2009 2:06 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
The logo highlights the arches because both are actually larger than the St. Louis arch. I would say that fact alone speaks to the staidum’s size and its future as the #1 stadium out there.
If I had a nickel for every Super Bowl the Eagles have won, I would have zero nickels.

didn’t know they were bigger than the StL arch.

The arches are probably the stadium's most impressive feature
other than the 60 yard wide HD jumbo tron of course.

Hey, c'mon
some kid obviously spent the better part of an afternoon doing that logo.
Lighten up.

by OskieOskie on Jul 3, 2009 5:05 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
How about
instead of simbolizing the arches (I know JJ is proud of those things) they simbolize the hole on the roof with a star shining above it. Wouln’t that be cool.

The logo is bad
I don’t see what’s timeless about it. It’s too complex and delicate and half-finished looking.
What’s it supposed to mean? Is it just a graphic representation of the stadium with no other symoblism? If so, why is it drawn that way?
And, why does a stadium need a logo? isn’t the stadium its own logo??? You don’t need to brand a building… it’s already its own brand, right?
by Joey2zs on Jul 2, 2009 3:04 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
obviously you don't much about marketing
With a logo, Jerry can now slap it on all sorts of things, t-shirts, mugs, etc and make money from it.

I agree Joey
The logo is pointless and definately not timeless. Jerry got hood winked by some too cute marketing guy.

I go
with all of Eatman’s ROH picks except Sanders. Prime was a dazzling player to watch, but he was a mercenary, rambling from team to team. Yes, he played some mighty good ball while wearing a star, but he wasn’t an integral part of the franchise from an historic standpoint.
The Ring should be for guys who were part of the heart and soul of the Dallas Cowboys. Deion was is and will always be about only Deion in an assortment of uniforms.
How about Larry Cole?
Keep doing what you been doing, keep getting what you been getting.
by OskieOskie on Jul 2, 2009 3:23 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
I usually don't agree with anything you say
but I agree 100%, the ring should only be for Cowboys who started with the team and played over 95% of their career with them.
Deion was just a football prostitute.

by Terry on Jul 2, 2009 3:32 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
No way for Sanders. I'd leave out Harvey Martin too
Just misses the cut for me.
Larry Allen, he’s a definite yes, but it’s too early. But then, how many years did the ‘triplets’ wait? Not many, so maybe Allen gets in sooner.
Finaaly, one day a Bill Bates/ Moose tandem put in together, to celebrate the kind of players that do the dirty work to win!

Harvey definitely belongs
You could make a strong argument he was the best pass rusher in franchise history, excluding Ware of course.

Tired of Hearing About the Wildcat/Razorback/Humpback
How about we line up man on man and blow the defense back 3 yards, like the size of our linemen should dictate? I love the Redball Express and his creativity, but I still cringe at seeing TO lining up at tailback on a 4th & 1 sweep play. Our line is the heaviest and maybe the strongest in football, and yet we couldn’t effectively get man-on push.
Hudson Houck do your thing!!

+1000
how come we don’t try that every 3rd or 4 play, our linemen are monsters, we should be able to push ppl around all game long, where is coaching? where is our linemen mojo? Mr Houck should have fire burning under his but:)
