Cowboys Cut Jason Williams; Top Pick In 2009 Draft

I knew Williams was a bust, but I thought he would be around till the end of the season. Its almost certain now we will be drafting or looking to acquire a ILB to replace James or Brookings next year. I think both are gone to be honest so the only questions is who will be the starting ILB to play next to Lee next year.

when he was drafted i thought he was going to play OLB,i think he should play OLB… for now i think it’s a bad move, better let him hit the field and embarass his self before cutting him, i would be so pissed if he goes to other team and ends being a decent player, hopefully they are bringing him to PS

sign Jason Williams, use him right, and get more production out of him than our dumb-ass team.

It’s amazing how stupidity has run amok in this organization…from the front office to the coaching staff to the players.

It’s like a disease, and there’s no cure in sight.

I rememeber the preseason safety he had in 2009 where he looked like he got shot out of a cannon. I was also surprised when he wasn’t an OLB.

It all starts at the top.

i just can’t see JWill taking on 300+ OL with much success. i think his best bet was playing ILB but he couldn’t cover & it was obvious his football IQ wasn’t great when he couldn’t even play special teams.
 i’m sure they checked him out enough to know he wasn’t worth keeping around on the 53 man roster. i think he was a big part of some of the break downs in special teams which led to some big returns, especially in that Titans game. add in a bad attitude & its time to go..
 i wonder if this mean Dallas put in waiver claim for Ligths Out Merriman?

It’s been only two years so the jury is definitely still out on these guys.

Can’t kick a touchback?? Seriously?? Dude, half his kicks are touchbacks and he has improved his accuracy since the season started.

Way too early to pass judgment on this group as a whole, they get a pass for at least one more year.

I don’t know how much stock I’d put into that anymore. The guy might not be good enough to play ILB, but I never viewed him as a ILB. Every clip I ever saw of him in college, he was mainly a pass rusher, and a pretty good one too.

“football smarts” and “Wade” in the same sentence

…right there, Blings:

Go look at all of the mock drafts on BTB leading up to that draft and then see how close people got. It’s hilarious.

If this isn’t an indictment of Ciskowski, what is?

I’ll admit. I was in a wait and see mode with Ciskowski—and I hoped for the best.

But the releasing of the players selected in that draft does indeed speak volumes.

I was hopeful, but it was a strange feeling, like they were drafting a LB because you just do I guess when you are a 3-4 team. I was mostly trying to get the best feeling I could about the draft after seeing the Cowboys loose they’re shot to pick Max Unger, and then just trade out of the 2nd round altogether, only to come out with this pick. But if you pick him at that spot in the draft, why to make him play a position he is not accustomed to? just who is in charge of a decision like that?

 But taking what alot of people consider a pass rusher and make him play the pass? I think this team is prone to “projects” at certain positions for some reason. Free safety is another position that they do “projects” than just go out and draft one.

I mean, I responded to a post earlier to Creasy that he thought we were going to draft Morgan Burnett, and I agreed with him about that draft, cause It’s truly what I thought they were going to do. Instead, Sean Lee. I mean, I see now what a weak position ILB is, but, I also mentioned Kevin Burnett earlier, and alot of people started talking about him alot, and were generally depressed, because I originally wrote “if you really cared about the position, you would’nt have let Kevin Burnett go”, and alot of people were writing about how depressed they were just thinking about his name, and what he did for this defense. Someone even wrote about a good play he made for the Chargers.

But I mean, what is the thinking here? Get rid of a veteran at a position where he is playing pretty solid football, and become weak there, and start looking at projects after the Barbie fiasco?

Three words Blings- Failure, failure, failure

Failure with Kevin Burnett, Bobby Carpenter, and now Jason Williams. How are Keith Brooking and Bradie James doing?

Whoever is in charge of player decisions for the Cowboys should be fired immediately! Get rid of this cancer please!

When we traded the Stephen jackson pick to St. Louis and moved back to pick Julius? I swear, I vomit every time I see Stephen Jackson because of our diseased thinking about players and drafts going back as far as then.

the scouts in Dallas have to go

Gotta wait until the off season to do that

I know we’re all tired of the failed Corner to Safety experiments and that he’s undersized. But could it be a good move?

Oh man, it sucks that Detroit is gonna kill us.

+1

…who’s more concerned about making a splash and looking like a genius on draft day rather than simply selecting the pick that’s right for this team.

it’s a direct reflection of our idiot owner.

whoops.

let me correct that.

he’s a brilliant businessman.

but he’s an idiot personnel guy (with more career misses than hits).

All Victor Butler does is make plays. 4 sacks for a guy that only very rarely sees the field is quite nice.

I’m not saying that we should have drafted another OLB. We obviously didn’t need that. But that doesn’t have anything to do with where Jason Williams skill set are. These coaches and scouts, to come to the conclusion that he could be moved to the inside, I mean, who is making these decisions on drafts and personnel like that?
To draft that LB, at that spot, and to be a project switch position situation? That is the problem, not that Jason Williams can’t play ILB.

Someone out there does know what to do with Jason Williams. We don’t obviously, or don’t want to. Maybe he was unmotivated because they wanted something from him he isn’t good at, that’s all I’m saying. This doesn’t mean he isn’t a good football player. Look at his college career. They were using him right.

You can’t tell me all of his productive throws have been on the run, that simply isn’t true at all. You give Romo time in the pocket and yes he can be as good as Brady and Manning.

I would even go one step further and look into drafting a pass rusher next year. I like Spencer, but his play is very inconsistant. I think he needs someone who is hungry to motivate him I hate to say..

Captain Carrothead that isnt bad
I said Gerald Sensaballs a couple times and I was crucified

Not enough South Park fans here I guess

My wild guess is that Leon Williams is manning that spot right now.

Twice with Marion Barber. Neither one was a TD, how do you explain that?
