now we only have to cover him in HOF game (and the SB) by Mr. X on Apr 22, 2010 9:59 PM EDT
Funny
the NFC guys were pissed, and most of the AFC guys were happy. I was hoping you’d do something like that!! Awesome.
Good work OCC
Cool to see what they’re saying in their darkened caves..
"The greatest test of courage on earth is to bear defeat without losing heart."
Thanks
Started reading and got sucked right into the comments. It’s like crack. Hopefully there are more comments like that after our 2nd round pick!!!
to voice it
ah, too little sleep and too much caffeine.
Not to mention wicked tendonitis in my right elbow from blogging too much
Yeah, you’ve been going non-stop. Caught the podcast on the train on the way to work this morning, by the way. Good stuff. And just to bust your chops a little, I liked how every phone call began like this…
You – “Hello? Hello? Hello?”
Caller – “Hello?”
At the same time – “Hello?”
You – “What’s your name and where are you calling from?”
Caller – “Hello? Can you hear me?”
You – “Yes, we can hear here you. What’s your name and where are you calling from?”
Caller – “Oh yeah, hey this is Dave from Utica.”
(5 second pause)
You – “OK Dave, what’s your question?”
Oh, chop busting accepted
Blog Talk Radio does not let you play with the board before the show. I had to do it on the fly.
Started to get the hang of timing the calls, but I had one guy who called in three times and every time I clicked him on he was listening to anothe radio show in the background. Never found out who he was.
We should have it down by camp. Really want to go daily in the summer.
The funniest part was
Everybody spent half the air time, not talking about the Cowboys, but talking about how great you guys are. Which, to clarify, Itotally agree with. It was just funny, It’s times like this i’ll remember when you guys are all rich and famous on espn radio :D
You aint been around in awhile, maybe you haven't heard........I don't shine shoes no more
Maybe a nugget of advice…. On the Dan Lebatard show down here they totally dump any call that starts with a “pleasantry” (ex. How are you? Hows it going?)
IT makes the question come quicker and makes the show flow a lot smoother. Id encourage the callers to get straight to the question. IT gets old hearing “how are you doing?” 30 times in an hour.
"On a journey to anywhere you can draw your own map."
I enjoyed calling in
But when you would say hello we had no idea if we were on the air or not. I found myself saying hello about 5 times when you were talking to others.
Dawk, how are you feeling about the draft so far? The whole NFC East just got a bit better, esp. Eagles and Pokes :)
I hope we find a way to trade up and steal a quality O-Lineman … we can mail in the rest if we’re able to find a decent O-Lineman in the 2nd
Try not to get into a pissing match with a skunk :)
Meh… I like Graham, and he fits a big need. We simply didn’t put enough pressure on the QB last year, and I think that made the CB’s look bad, so I like the pick. But the cost was high. I’m really hoping the Eagles trade out of 37 to the 2nd half of the 2nd and recoup a 3 in the process… Or maybe even straight up for a 1 next year. There are a lot of guys I like heading into round 2 right now, but none that particularly stand out as must-have prospects.
Bryant is clearly as talented as they come as far as WR prospects, and the perceived character issues don’t bother me as much as they bother others, but if I were a Cowboys fan, I’d much rather have drafted an offensive linemen. But with the way the first round shook out, they probably made the right pick with what was available.
The Redskins pretty did what they should have.
The Giants – Oof. I don’t know. I keep reading people that love the pick, but a situational pass rusher… at 15… that only played one year of college ball, and didn’t really light it up. Eh. Time will tell.
Which Offensive Lineman
Would you have drafted at 27 or even 24? I think the probable candiates Dallas was hoping to fall at that point—I’m guessing that’s Iupati, Pouncey and Bulaga—were gone.
Do you reach at OL, or take a super-talent at WR?
No question Dallas made the right move
He was the BPA, and had been for 10+ picks.
Earl Thomas was my A+ scenario.
Dez Bryant was my A scenario.
I’ll take an A any day of the week.
Maybe try reading the entire thought next time, brother…
But with the way the first round shook out, they probably made the right pick with what was available.
"I’d much rather have drafted an offensive linemen (sic)"
I guess you were implying, although you didn’t specifically say so, that you were referring to what you believed Dallas should have done going into the draft, rather than the way it turned out. That wasn’t entirely clear to me—it sounded like you were contradicting yourself: Dallas did bad, but Dallas did good.
But I would still disagree with that comment. With the exception of blue chip left tackles, very good offensive linemen can be found outside the first round. Most of us Dallas fans knew full well the blue chippers would be gone by the time we came on the clock, so it was a matter of going for the best value, and not getting target fixation on offensive linemen. Reaching there would have been completely counterproductive.
He was playing with words...
he couldn’t actually say it was a good pick and leave it at that. Otherwise he wouldn’t be able to go back to his own blog
Dallas did bad, but Dallas did good.
I would instead say… “Dallas did good with the hand it was dealt.”
With the exception of blue chip left tackles, very good offensive linemen can be found outside the first round.
That’s pretty much true of any position, but obviously the talent that goes off the board early has the much, much higher % of being good NFL players.
I too wanted OL help,
but the players that were rated as #1 value were gone. Dallas needs to address the OL in next picks IMO.
In an interview Willie was ask if he was thinking about retiring. He paused for a moment, smiled and replied " I play music and golf, which one do you think I need to give up"?
Ugh… you too. Read, dammit…
But with the way the first round shook out, they probably made the right pick with what was available.
Ugh... I was agreeing with you.
I know that’s hard for you to believe and even harder for me to believe.

My wish
We get a safety n the second – Allen/Burnett or even Mays if he slips that far. And then we take 2 OL in the 4th – Tony Washington and JD Walton if they’re available.
Wow, now that's a great scenario, Sean!
I think its certainly possible to get Burnett at #59 and Washington at #125. But I dont think there is any way possible Walton falls all the way to #119.
Wish away
I wonder if we could get OG Jon Asamoah at #59, Akwasi Owusu-Ansah (can play FS as well as CB) at #119 and Tony Washington at #125. Add this to Dez Bryant and I cant imagine a draft going any better.
This is why I love the Dez pick
huge matchup problems for any defense in the league now. Even as mediocre as RW has been, I’ll take him against a safety, LB or 3rd CB. And there are still several players who can come in and contribute in this draft. Either one of the scenarios above would make this an A+ draft in my opinion.
Beautiful
This may be one of the best things I’ve read on this site, and I’ve been here for years! I’m positive on the pick, but not blown away or ecstatic. This sampling, though, just made my day. I can’t even pick a favorite one to repost here!! I miss the 3rd rounder, but thanks, Jerry, this post almost makes up for dropping 29 spots!
Those 29 spots were well worth it ...
O.Cool … these “comments sampling” posts are awesome … I’ll echo boundforbeach:

"Confidence doesn't come out of nowhere. It's a result of something... hours and days and weeks and years of constant work and dedication." --Roger Staubach
Now if we can keep the defense out of the backfield long enough to let Romo get rid of the ball!
and open a hole for the running backs. Pick ain’t much good if Romo can’t stay upright. That being said, I guess we really had no real chance of getting a top tackle. Hope he and Miles hit it off, and he just doesn’t become just another diva WR. Everyone says he’s a great talent, I hope it translates to the NFL.
Ok, lets look on this....I was not satisfied with this pick when I was watching draft live yesterdey...(in slovakia 4 hours at monrning :D )
…yes, I wanted even Kyle Wilson, Jarred Odrick….or move up for Bulaga…but when I am reading comments now, Bryant si huge addition…
If we picked Wilson, we could have a little better secondary….if we picked WIlliams or Odrick, we just could improve our outstanding pass rush….
but now, with Bryant and Austin…..which WR should get a double cover? yeah, that is a problem for our rivals….and wait what…..you are covering austin and bryant with safeties…..but witten is free in the middle…ok, cover him too even with rest of LBs, but…then….how you can stop felix or tashard??? yeah, I like it :D
so we can still today pick Safety, or bring Atogwe…or upgrade or OL depth…CB depth ..even new ILB…there is still a lot of gifted guys..but no more bryants…..
just one serious problem….we just really need upgrade OL, because if romo doesnt get his time…….
before there was law, there were the Cowboys!!!
My favorite comment...
came from the Eagles board.
Dez ..sigh….Thank God we have an awesome set of Defensive Backs …..o wait
Love it…. :D
nice one ..

WOW!!!
Talk about NAILING IT … Gosselin projected 29 of the first 32 players picked???
That is simply amazing, especially given the propensity of teams to pull an Oakland / Denver / Quincey :)
Try not to get into a pissing match with a skunk :)
What's even more amazing
is that he got all 29 of the first 29 picks in the first round. Not in the right spot, but his top 29 all went by th e29th pick. The 3 he missed were his last 3 picks: Clausen, Saffold and Price.
I personally hope we trade up AGAIN
Let’s give up Hurd / Crayton to move up to get Taylor Mays, S, USC, Nate Allen, S, South Florida. These guys will be gone by our pick. Also use both 4ths on OL.
by torchindefenses on Apr 23, 2010 2:31 PM CDT reply actions
Hurd/Crayton have no value
Not sure you could even get a 7th for Crayton, and Hurd could not get a pick in return.
Best line I've heard today.
Speaking of San Fran drafting Davis and Iupati…
“Now Alex Smith will have an extra second and a half to throw a pick…”
When I die I want to go peacefully in my sleep like my Grandfather -- not screaming like the passengers in his car.
Alex Smith will never ever ever ever be the next Montana ... the 49ers won't turn it around until they admit the obvious.
… and that line is hilarious !!!

Bah, re-hash of old news...
I was hoping we’d find a way to dish Carpenter and get a pick in return. Probably won’t happen.

I hated Campbell in the 1st
But I kinda like him in the 2nd if he falls to us by some chance.
I'm actively hoping for Campbell in the second.
Dez Bryant and Campbell in the first two rounds would make for a damned good draft in my mind regardless of what comes after.

that the Cowboys don’t have a remaining O-lineman rated as 2nd round value. I’m thinking he got his info from Broddus

hopefully, we can trade some players for more picks
I was hoping to come away w/ at least 2 OL, a DL, an ILB, and a S. We do have 5 picks still but something tells me they won’t be at these 5 positions.

The weird thing about the Bryant pick for me
is that now I am hoping more than ever that Roy Williams gets his head out of his ass, and really starts to perform again.
Because if he performs at the level he did during his time in Detroit and Bryant becomes the player he’s expected to, we could be looking at the greatest receiving corps of all time with Austin/Williams/Bryant and Witten at tight end. And I don’t think I’m exaggerating in the slightest about that. If Williams and Bryant both play like the players they are capable of being, there is not a defense around that could stop that passing attack.
Dallas has taken a WR in the first round two years in a row.
RW last year and Dez this year. Looks like the best they can do is one out of two. Dez is boom or bust. A bust will set this team back a few years.
In an interview Willie was ask if he was thinking about retiring. He paused for a moment, smiled and replied " I play music and golf, which one do you think I need to give up"?

It is fun.
Hopefully, there is as much animosity from these bloggers during the Cowboys’ 7th round pick!
Trust them...they know what they're doing.

Haynesworth supposedly back to Titans
for a 3rd round pick? That’s not bad value, despite his contract.

Redskins collectively slap their foreheads
they wonder why they look like cavemen… it’s cause they keep hitting themselves, asking why they’re so dumb

We have a bigger need at O-Line
Alan Ball was fine at FS last year. The players who would instantly upgrade the FS position were drafted in the 1st. We can’t be absolutely certain about Free at LT. And we can be certain that if either Tackle goes down, we don’t have anybody who can step in.
Woohoo, i made the list!!!!!!!
hahahahahaha, i didn’t know big brother was watching…..anyway, i meant what i said. A coup…by your crew. well done.
Did Clausen get to interviews with his pants down?
Why the hell would teams be averse to this guy?

This was the most fun I've had with a post in awhile
It’s nice to inject some comedy once in awhile.
Let the chips fall where they may
This one was the best

So pardon my disposition; why should I listen to a system that never listened to me?
Schecter from ESPN just said that....
one team took DB off their board because of an irregular heartbeatIf true, what are we to make of this and why did we not hear about this before WTF!!
i love the fact that the NFC hates us for getting dez, while the AFC loves/hates us for getting dez

Thanks OCC
Almost missed this gem. I read the WAS and PHI sites last night for reactions, then I had to go rinse the filth out of my eyes.
DEN and CIN blogs awesome, but maybe the best was the misery inflicted on the BAL fans. Priceless.
Dez Bryant, Miles Austin, Jason Witten, Felix Jones = defensive coordinator's Kobayashi Maru scenario
