Dallas Cowboys Ask Gurode To Take Pay Cut, Decision Expected Today

At center dallas has Gurode, Kosier, Cost, Nagy, Arkin, and the undrafted rookie Kevin Kowalski,

Someone made dallas an offer for a trade, I bet for Costa, Dallas said “no, what about Gurode”, That team probably siad the contract is out of wack but yea they would love to have him, thus the meeting to reconstruct his contract to a cap friendly deal, for both teams and Gurode probably gets more guaranteed money too,

Coast is actually ahead of Gurode in the line calls, Kosier had to make the calls because Gurode kept screwing them up, When Kosier got hurt two years ago Proctor was the only other guy who knew the line calls and therefore had to be on the field, and the rest is histroy,

Costa is far, far ahead of being a rookie,

We run one of the few plays i think our running game will based around this year and Gurode could not get to the linebacker and make the block, the guy simply beat him to the hole,

By my count Dallas has only run 4 to 5 plays that I think will be staples in the run game, Arkin lost the starting job because he could not pull and get into the hole quick enough and Gurode cant pull or even cut off the linbacker before he gets into the hole,

Gurode was going to be warse than Leonard Davis or Colombo in this scheme, Garrett has to change the scheem or let gurode go, it’s really that simple,

Gurode still has immense value, some team like th Eagles or Tennessee, would kill to have him, The Ravens are desperate, these three teams have tried but failed to address thier center positions, The Ravens believe they are a super bowl contender, and Gurode fits all those schemes,

just a short while agoe we really did suck

We now rely on JGs influence on analysis and evaluation skills which scale down to people like Hud. The fact is that we have to get down to 53 players and deal with the cap. We have needs not discussed until now and we may be adding to the cap during the year. If we don’t need Gurode due to our depth at OL then we can save the cap $ and give it to someone else. Bring in more depth in a certain weak area… how much are we paying Graham? I don’t think that has been decided yet. How many kickers are we keeping? 3?

I think Gurode is the best Center in either league but like I said before there are more sideline plays so a guy like Costa is a better choice, and maybe a much better snapper. Maybe Arkin plays center? Maybe having Kosier calling the plays works until Costa or Kowalski can step in, but what if Kosier is out? Maybe QB can call them, it seems like McGee has been doing it for the young guys, maybe Romo can help when needed.

Maybe we don’t have a choice here… keeping in mind if we do have inexperience on the line we may run into plays that guys aren’t sure of, so we better have some experience in the huddle.

Gurode’s signing bonus counts $1.66 M vs. the cap which if you subtract from $7.2 M leads to a $5.5 M base salary.

Raddway has size and speed, the kind of measurables you dream about, much like Austin did,

Holly is making his case, Dallas likes big recievers and he seems to be getting better,

Harris, Ogletree, all the lower guys seem to be almost there or super talented, your right that is going to be a hard decision, Joe Decalf, will put his special teams touch on the selection I’m sure.

Holley and Manny look like they are ready for some playing time… B2B games that he has had 30-yard catches, big-play guy.

Also, looks like Radway should be on the roster even if its only on special teams.

I think Manny has been the best receiver the past 2 games, didn’t Holley/Ogletree miss the hot read on the slant vs Denver that ended up as an INT? Both Manny/Ogletree have been better than Holley/Harris. All 4 have made some big plays, Ogletree should still be in-line for the #3 but I would be more comfortable with Manny at this point. Ogletree has made a couple big mistakes.
