Cowboys Fans Take Over Negotiations With Abram Elam

PrintTwitter allows fans an unprecedented level of access to their favorite sport stars. And while that can be both a blessing and a curse, today it definitely took a humorous turn when Cowboys fans started tweeting safety Abram Elam directly, in an effort to get him to sign in Dallas.
A guy called Patrick Atkins, going by the name cowboyfan72 started the thing rolling (as far as I can tell) by tweeting Elam directly, telling him to pack his bags for Dallas, to which Elam replied that his bags were already packed.
A short while later, another user tried to sell Elam on the potential INTs he would be able to collect in the Cowboys defense, to which Elam again replied, "LMBO, Iike it".
That was followed by another tweet by a troy4smith telling the world that "every Cowboys fan needs to bug @abeelam until he signs with the Boys lol". Since then, it's likely been mayhem on Elam's twitter account. All of this of course is done in good humor, but it does drive home the fact that the Cowboys faithful are getting impatient. You'll find all the tweets mentioned here after the break below.
Now, if only some Eagles fans would tell DeSean Jackson that he should be paid at least as much as Nnamdi Asomugha...
This started it all:

Jimmy Robinson update

Jimmy Robinson is still resting after getting knocked out yesterday. Jason Garrett is giving WRs a lot of individual attention.
glad he is okay

not to flame
but is Elam any good? On that safety post from a few days ago, he was ranked down at 57. I know football stats aren’t perfect, but he doesn’t seem to stand out in any area. Is the entire attraction that he’s cheap and knows Ryan’s system? Because that’s not super comforting.
What is this, Horseville? Because I'm surrounded by naysayers.
Good question,
to which there is no clearcut answer. Guess we’ll find out soon enough.

here's that link
i guess it was actually 61.
It seems like there are still a few better options out there.
What is this, Horseville? Because I'm surrounded by naysayers.
in fact, it sounds like Ryan's defense needs very well rounded safeties
and that list makes Sensabaugh look pretty damn good.

Disagree
I think a lot of members on BTB are just bitter that there were plays he gave up on (like almost every player on the defense) last year

Is a lot of the hate from 09?
Cause its hard to judge last year since he was next to Ball the entire time.
He lost me when we watched the pass from Favre go right past him in the Minny playoff game.
i hope vujacic gets hit by a truck hauling stray cats that claw his eyes out before using his skull as a brood den.--kalone
That was a rough one to watch
However, I feel you guys are too hard on him
Didn’t he lead the team in picks?
Yeah I know “right place, right time” but I feel there’s something to be said for being in the right place at the right time. He was in the right place at the right time more than anyone else on the team
You aint been around in awhile, maybe you haven't heard........I don't shine shoes no more
Exactly.
Also listening to him explain what happened on that play made sense. He was watching the receiver’s eyes, and when he turned around the ball had already gone past him and the receiver caught it without him ever seeing it. Just a case of bad timing, it happens.

Right.
It’s not like you see Sensi do it a lot though. Usually he’s pretty on point. On that particular play he just got beat, simple as that.

well he cant be but so good bc he still on the FA market
Sensi doesnt have a physical bone in his body IMHO & he plays very soft in the box. he doesnt blitz very good & he hits like a pillow.
i think any QB, TE or RB feel like they can take advantage of him & another reason his stats looked okay last season was bc teams focused on Ball & Jenkins more.

He’s made quite a few plays in Ryan’s system the last couple years, and he’s fairly inexpensive. IMHO the hope is that a combo of Abram/Sensi can hold the fort for a year or maybe two while some combo of AOA/Church/Sendejo become real contributors for us
i hope vujacic gets hit by a truck hauling stray cats that claw his eyes out before using his skull as a brood den.--kalone
Is he probowler ready to happen...probably not.
His attractiveness to the organization resides in the fact that he knows Ryan’s system, has played here before and will not break the bank. The last part is the most important. I suspect the Cowboys have already made an offer to him, and Elam is just taking some time to see what his other options are…
it doesnt look like anyone else is intrested in Elam IMO
i would like Elam over most of the safeties left on the market but i havent seen any proof he will make a huge difference.
our secondary isn’t very strong & if RR cant get any pressure on the QB it could be a long season again.
Teams are going to throw on Dallas until they stop them & Jenkins will have to face some of the best WRs in the game this season. Holmes & Plaxico the first night is going to be a huge test on our secondary but i feel RR will focus on getting Sanchize.
Every team has a great gameplan until they get Punched in the Mouth!
Start combing the rosters of all the teams...
look at the teams who have a an overload at safety. (check the teams who drafted safties first) and maybe when the final cuts come one of those guys can be had for a 1 year deal. I think it’s better to wait right now and have Elam as our last option.
Jerry is the end all in Dallas.

That's a very good point
but I’d rather we sign Elam now, and then look for a second guy on the waiver wire if it comes to that – instead of banking everything on the waiver wire.

i don't think elam is ronnie lott...
but i think the main attraction is that he’s been in ryan’s system, ryan seems to like him and he can’t possibly be any worse than alan ball or sensabaugh for that matter. that’s why i want him. and that’s why my wife has saved him a plate of spaghetti if he comes to dallas. and believe me abram, my wife can cook. that’s one of the reasons i married her….

I don't have any problem w/ the Cowboys signing Elam, but....
to call him a “high character guy” or “RKG” seems to gloss over the fact that he was convicted of some kind of sexual assault while playing at Notre Dame. While the details may be kind of murky, a link to the story is here:
Now when it comes to signing players, as long as he is now on his best behavior, I am all good with signing him. But let’s understand the whole story first.
well
like you a said the story is Murky….so I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt in this case.
Here’s a theoretical play from last year: Snap. Tony takes 7 step drop. Tony looks left at Miles, who is doubled, and looks right to where Roy Williams should be…but instead sees Colombo on his back and a Defensive End foaming at the mouth jumping over Marc’s carcass. Tony proceeds to run like hell and look for Witten

Like I said, I am not trying to say the Cowboys shouldn't sign him...
But he has baggage, including one which likely required him to register as a sex offender the first time he was in town. I have no doubt he works his tail off and has had a rough life. I am sure he will be one of the first guys in the gym and one of the last to leave. Having said all of that, let us reserve the title RKG for guys like DeMarcus Ware and Tony Romo. Otherwise, it tends to devalue the term.
Sir, I regretfully have to admit
I do not like your tone.
If something in sports is the worst thing that's ever happened to you, you've lived a pretty good life.
the list people are talking about
Sensabaugh ranked wherever, but he was a big part of the Cowboys giving up the most points in franchise history
JimmyK said “the book is out on him, he is soft and horrible in mid zone coverage”
Sensabaugh is not that good, he is a JAG, just another guy, not a starter in the NFL, a good backup maybe
if Sensabaugh was so good the Jags would have signed him long term, Wade Phillips would have signed him over Daniel Manning
I loved when we got Sensabaugh, but since the Vikings game and the 2010 season, I saw what he was all about and he isnt a leader

JimmyK said "the book is out on him, he is soft and horrible in mid zone coverage"
JimmyK also basically said that we should be devastated that we didn’t retain Bowen…even for the money the Skins paid him.
I would’ve like to keep Bowen, but I trust the staff more than Jimmy (even though I do respect Jimmy…even as an eagles fan) and I don’t think the staff thought he had 27 mil worth of potential
You aint been around in awhile, maybe you haven't heard........I don't shine shoes no more
this has been an incredibly humbling off-season
we have basically been irrelevant, and I’m not used to that as a Cowboys fan. I think being smart and conservative is a wonderful new approach for Jerrah, but at this point I’m starting to worry.
I guess it makes no difference until August 4th when we sign whoever we end up signing.
What is this, Horseville? Because I'm surrounded by naysayers.
I realize that's not totally true...
I know we made a sincere run at the CB. What the Eagles have done this week has clouded my mind as a Cowboys fan.

If we signed all the guys the Eagles did
We’d be crucified on ESPN for mismanaging the cap and trying to “buy a superbowl”
The Eagles do it and they’re the toast of the town

Especially if we had a HUUUUGE gap at linebacker
probably bigger than any gap we have on the Cowboys

On one had I agree, but on the other I think we’d all be mad as hell if Jerrah had done something like pay $8mil a year for Eric freaking Weddle.

interesting that one of the twitterers mentioned Whitner
he’s obviously not as down and out as Columbo was when we brought him in, but he’s one of those guys who obviously has god given abilities that haven’t been fully realized.
I’d be tempted to bring him in as our SS to see if we can unlock something in him. Rebuilding/transitioning teams don’t just rely on rookies, they also go after high upside/low risk signings like that.

Remember, build up his ego...
Tell him he’s younger than Nnamdi and has more big play potential. He should be paid as much if not more.

It’s true. It WAS preseason (I know), and we were playing the Miami starters….he took that game over, by himself.
You aint been around in awhile, maybe you haven't heard........I don't shine shoes no more
That's the kind of thing
A “TC for starting RB” fan would say. “Just making plays” isn’t enough on this team. One dimensional players like Butler don’t have business starting for this team. Spencer’s run stuffing is much more of an asset than Butler’s pass rushing. While some think Butler to be a slightly better rusher, everyone knows Spencer to be among the best in the league against the run.

Is that the kind of thing one of "those" fans would say?
The guy makes plays is all I said…prove me wrong
You aint been around in awhile, maybe you haven't heard........I don't shine shoes no more
Sorry, I'm a bit lazy when I post from my cell phone.
What I mean is that, when people like a player, yet have little solid evidence to support their evidence aside from a few positive memories, they usually say “the guy just makes plays.” It most reminds me of Chia describing Tashard Choice. People like flashy players. The perception is that every time Victor Butler comes in he makes a play. The reality is that fans don’t notice how often he is in the game, and therefore attribute all of the “nothing” plays to the starters.
Anthony Spencer is nearly as capable of a pass rusher, if not more capable. Production is a product of scheme and execution. Butler cannot hold up against the run. He is a liability in this aspect. Therefore, the scheme is designed that, every time he comes in, he’s going to rush the quarterback. Every time he is in, he has an opportunity to rush the quarterback. The majority of Spencer’s opportunities (as with any starter) are on running downs. Therefore, he (and anyone who you think should replace him), will be required to stop the run more often than rush the passer.
Why, then, would we replace one of best run-stopping linebackers in the NFL with one of the least capable, in exchange for at most a modest increase in pass rush? Teams will just run to his side all game. Pass rush neutralized.
Spencer is just as 1 dimension as Butler
the last time i checked OLBs that rushed the passer were a heck of a lot more valuable then a run stuffer. with teams passing about 65% of the time it would actually make Butler more effective. i’m sure Spencer will get all the chances in the world this season but if he doesn’t get some sacks then they have no choice but to replace him.
it takes more then Ware & Ratliff to get the job done.
Every team has a great gameplan until they get Punched in the Mouth!
Yeah, Really.
You aint been around in awhile, maybe you haven't heard........I don't shine shoes no more
If you couldn't tell
That post just magically dropped out of my phone…I started to type the headline, and poof
on at least one measure it's butler that's miles ahead of spencer
Butler, since the day he was drafted has been the #3 OLB on the roster, a spot that does not get much chance, but Butler has certainly made the most of his rare opportunites. In 2009, he had 3 sacks in just 67 chances to rush the passer (a sack rate of 4.4% – Ware’s sack rate is 2.1%, Spencer’s 1.4%). Obviously, that rate would be impossible to maintain, but he has the gift for making the most of his rare opportunities….Again, his pass rush skills were on display in limited opportunities and had a sack against Jacksonville and another against the Redskins. 2 sacks and 9 QB pressures in 76 pass rush situations is easily the best rate again on the team

How can a guy regress so much. He looked so talented. Other busts never showed what
he did in 2009. Didn’t RR praise him earlier during the lockout.
wow great point my dude
he has showed talent, busts usually just suck the whole time so mabe there is hope right

Yeah I wouldn't say Spencer is a bust in the traditional sense of the word.
He has been disappointing though since he did show so much potential at the end of 2009.
If I had a nickel for every Super Bowl the Eagles have won, I would have zero nickels.
Spencer is better than avg.
He’s not a superstar (yet) but he’s better than a lot of alternatives.
Hope he (finally) takes that next step.
You aint been around in awhile, maybe you haven't heard........I don't shine shoes no more
maybe because he plays the left here
some fellas are good just at one position, the demarcus of the world they can play both sides, but anthony no
He played de at Purdue....
Not every de can be an olb. That is my biggest problem with the 3-4. It’s hard to find good olb’s.

yeah I honestly think we would be best served
By trading Spencer off…..he is still young enough to command a decent price, and I think he could excel in a 4-3 as a DE
Here’s a theoretical play from last year: Snap. Tony takes 7 step drop. Tony looks left at Miles, who is doubled, and looks right to where Roy Williams should be…but instead sees Colombo on his back and a Defensive End foaming at the mouth jumping over Marc’s carcass. Tony proceeds to run like hell and look for Witten

You aint been around in awhile, maybe you haven't heard........I don't shine shoes no more
I think he's pulling some Barbie Carpenter memories
Because Sean Lee is white.
A Good Safety - Will I never see you in a Cowboys uniform? Stop tormenting me.
Having Sam Young as our primary swing tackle is frightening
but he’s had a good camp so far. He was one of those kids that suffered from overexposure on draft day, but you can’t argue with the experience that comes from starting 50 games in college.

By the way, Eagles had to do something for the passing game, considering that the NFC East is the best passing division in football. You realize that every team was Top 10 in passing last year (including redskins)? Oh yeah, and Dallas was at the top of that division in passing. This is an attempt to slow us down. All personel moves are geared toward stopping teams in your division.

I don’t think it is as much about talent as it is about scheme and being the right kind of guy. I think that we have seen that time and time again with each team that has won the superbowl. Each team has at least 3 or 4 guys on the team that could truly be considered SPECIAL players and maybe one of the best at what they do. It is more about team chemistry and character from what we have seen in recent years. It hasn’t been the superstars carrying their team, but teams uniting together and gelling really well. I think the Packers are the perfect example of that. How else could a team with 15+ players on IR win a superbowl? I tell you the coaches don’t get enough credit in a superbowl.

Exactly, Elam may not be the most talented
But he has those qualities that fits. Every great team has guys like that. I remember guys from back in the day like Brock Marion, James Washington, Thomas Everett, Ray Horton. You may not remember their names or faces, but they were key contributors to Super Bowl winning teams just as much as the stars.

Notice the COACHES that have won recent superbowls
Mike Tomlin, Sean Payton, and Mike McCarthy. What do they all have in common. They are all coaches who demand excellence from their players and players love to play for them. Rex Ryan hasn’t won a super bowl yet, but he also has some of these traits, even though he can get under people’s skin from time to time. Notice any of these traits in Jason Garrett? Because personally I see a guy that won’t take any crap from his players, demands excellence from them and is a great motivator too. You could definitely say that Jimmy Johnson was one of those guys. Bill Belichek is also a name I would stick there. Don’t worry about the players here and their talent or how many pro bowls. Look to Garrett and his staff, and you will see the attitude of a champion there, which is where it counts most.

Goldson
I read during the that chat on ESPN that DaShon Goldson was supposed to be in the building today visiting the Cowboys. I didn’t know a lot about him, but then I read his scouting report on ESPN, I was quite imperressed. and I think that he and Elam would be awesome together. If the Cowhoys can sign the two of them, would they be a good fit together?
The San Fran defensive backfield...
has been crap for a few years now. He was one of the starters in the backfield for the last two years. He had a decent 2009 but was practically invisible last season in 16 starts. He’s pretty much a FS only IIRC. He’s pretty much the same size as Ball (6’2", 200lbs). I’m not impressed.

I remember them all
They were clutch! Darren Woodson and Brock Marion were our best tandem for years
The Red Headed RumbleFish Runnin Things
My opinion on the safety thing
I think they are taking their time with it, to see if they think someone on the roster can play well at that position. Instead of acting quick for players that will still be there for a reasonable price, seeing what they already have. Worst case is that they don’t see anyone they trust on the roster to start, so they sign someone like Elam that already knows the Rob Ryan defense. I don’t think it’s just pure laziness or that they don’t think they need a safety. It’s just being patient. I think all the anger and frustration is because they haven’t really made any moves (besides Coleman) other than keep their own, which is very understandable. Just hang in there
I agree
Jerry has been burned by his recent safety signings… Roy, Hamlin, Ball, Sensabaugh. Look at the Weddle signing, he is making more money than Reed and Polamalu combined.. Aint that a joke? So I cant really blame Jerry for not overspending this time. Its all about finding the right fit at the right price

Sensabaugh? Seriously?
He’s played on two 1-year deals for peanuts. Probably the best value ever for a safety. Of course, he won’t play for that cheap, again.

HAHAHA Great stuff
But is anyone else worried we are driving Elam’s asking price up and could be hampering negotiations? At least he’ll know he has the fans backing him…and the chance to play for a coach like Ryan (who he knows) and be introduced to Garrett’s Landry-like calm waters run deep passion.

next years draft has not only some very good db’s it also has some quality at qb. I have said it more than once. If Landry Jones falls Jerry should look into it. Barkley and luck won’t fall.

Right.
I imagine it will be the same story with the LBs, the DBs, and the rest of the DLs as well. This defense will look a lot different than Wade’s.

Sounds like I'm in the minority but I would love Ratliff at DE.
First, he isnt getting any younger, would extend his career by not taking on double teams in the long haul. Now at 285 thats way too light for a 3 down NT I dont care what anyone says. He may not start at DE this season, must he is going to get alot of snaps across the line. Maybe they use him more on 3rd downs at NT and DE on 1st and 2nd downs this season,
I agree
He’s too small to play NT this year. Besides, Josh Brent is probably our 2nd best D-Lineman. I would love to get them on the field at the same time. We don’t have a DE who can hold the point and penetrate so Rat would be a huge upgrade at DE – particularly on DWare’s side. We could start playing some of the games the Giants play with their D-Line rotation.

I guess me and you are on the same page..
Ive been preaching this for a year or so. Everyone sees that he is wearing down as the season goes on. I saw him last year getting blown off the ball too much for my taste and especially against teams with the better offensive lines. The player is not getting any younger so something has to give. Moving him or getting more snaps at DE would most certainly extend his career IMO..
I've been saying this for 3 years!
Why go 3-4 then not get the right personell? Get a NT if you need one! The problem was, when he was going good (really just one big year) no one wanted to see the obvious, that he’d wear down.
Very similar to the MBarber case, everyone was so enamored with his style, but it should have been obvious he’d be worn down real quick. Oh well.
The thing is, if they get a decent body for NT, they solve the DE problem too, the guy is just what is needed there.

But to tell you the truth, I’d take just a body there (because of $$ right now) for this year, just an average guy. Because Rat out on the edge would more than make up for a lack of push up the middle.

We’re all wanting two great safeties but let’s be real.
Jerry spends and will continue. The $20M of dead money next year is proof of that.
The market is overpriced for average and slightly above safeties. Jerry NEEDS to get a good value for the quality because he needs money in the next year or two for a stud corner or two to repalce Newman and Scandrick should he leave. Still need a complete DE and the future center for Gurode…not to mention Witten is not getting younger and Bennett is UFA next year.
It’s just about not over reaching.

Like it or not, Wade is a top 5 DC in the League
He was Buddy’s choice for DC. That says something. Maybe Rex is better. But he’s not a lot better.

No they aren't...
stats wise Wade has always been a better defensive coordinator.
Wade Phillips might be a bad HC, but Wade isn’t a bad coach.

In Rob's defense though, he's never had the defensive talent that Wade has had to work with.
Can we please get this man some safeties? Please?

that would be our luck now wouldnt it?
"A mind focused on doubt and fear cannot focus on the journey to victory."
Hopefully Jerry opens his wallet and says
I will pay you as a HC to be a DC….I mean there is no salary cap on coaches…..
Here’s a theoretical play from last year: Snap. Tony takes 7 step drop. Tony looks left at Miles, who is doubled, and looks right to where Roy Williams should be…but instead sees Colombo on his back and a Defensive End foaming at the mouth jumping over Marc’s carcass. Tony proceeds to run like hell and look for Witten

Well, let's see how the games play out.
I have good feelings, but it is just TC.
By the way, just noticed the change to your signature. Man, don’t go talking about that. Remember the old law enforcement saying: “If you want to get away with it, wear gloves and don’t talk about what you did.”
I don't know if Lee Ford is right, but if he is, Jerry Jones will go down in history as the Great Evil Genius of the NFL.
talk about what?

If RR turns this D into anything CLOSE to "qb sackin head rippin mashin"
First, he derserves to leave, and second, We (team and fans) Win,
Cuz if he achieves that it’s a miracle and we must have had a great season!
I’ll worry about him doing so well they might lose when he starts actually accomplishing anything besides dressing like a pirate and getting fans lathered up over practices. Let’s check and see where this D is week 8.

I am having one horrible day
Badly failed an important test for one of my papers. Blowing up atm. If Jerry doesn’t sign a Safety soon I might evaporate into a mist of misery.
If something in sports is the worst thing that's ever happened to you, you've lived a pretty good life.
I know this is an unpopular
thought right about now (and I’m not usually a hater) but I say DON’T sign Elam. 2 reasons – one, the “model” of good teams is to play as many of their own draftees are early and as much as possible to save money. AOA and Church aren’t Elam and Sensabaugh but could be in a couple of years. Fans need to be patient. Signing Elam will probably be > 3-4 mil a year and will decrease FA signing capability NEXT year. 2nd reason is because of Elam himself. He’s not RKG. He has a sexual assault charge history as well as 3 drug charges in his family. And, a guy who’s answer to a request to come play here is “well cut the MF check” isn’t thinking about team; he’s thinking about himself.
I say play our young guys and let them succeed/fail.
See, here's my problem with the whole "be patient" thing.
We don’t have time for that. The core of this team (Romo, Ware, Witten, Ratliff, etc…) are all either in or about to be in their 30s. At some point (sooner rather later) the window of opportunity to compete with this roster is going to close and we’ll be looking at a complete rebuild. The time to go for it is now.

True
That is the risk you take. But right now, signing Elam means the boys will be OK next season (somewhere between 7-9 and 9-7) or 2nd in the NFC East. That puts them on the outside of the wildcard race. And, given the amount of $ JJ is spending, they stay there for the next 3 years never improving.
the key to winning a Superbowl is to take your lumps for a couple of years, improve through the draft, then compete. We are where the Packers were 3-4 years ago.

Not really.
Aaron Rodgers was 23-24 then. Romo is 31 now.

agree somewhat.
If your in the thinking like I am that this team wont be very good this year then I agree have Church and AOA take their lumps this season. Next year look to upgrade the position when we have more money to work with or hope for the best and these two young players turn into something really good.
Sign Pool and Elam
We need a cover safety like Pool and Elam is an upgrade as well. We can continue to groom AOA and Church, maybe even let Sensabaugh go back to playing DB on nickle downs.
by E Schweigert on Aug 1, 2011 2:40 AM CDT reply actions 1 recs
agree 100%...siging Elam and Pool would be significant upgrades
over Sensabuagh and Ball.
In Romo we Trust
by Terry on Aug 1, 2011 8:00 AM CDT up reply actions 1 recs
at this point I'll take Sensabaugh and Elam...
Just no Alan Ball Please!!
