**********2018 DALLAS COWBOYS**********

Alright, I am getting tired of posting new Cowboys info in the 09 thread so here's to 2010. It's never too early to show your colors around here so I'll keep this updated throughout the offseason until the season gets closer and baseball fans become more interested.
The 'Boys have been quiet this offseason until landing Dez Bryant in the NFL Draft. 2nd rounder Sean Lee was a nice pickup and should be a good nickel backer, depending on his ability to stay healthy. There are a couple of needs that are still in question: Free Safety and Left Tackle.
I think Doug Free can step in and fill the void that was left when starting left tackle False Start Adams was cut. However, the team is currently in talks with the Rams to trade Barbie Carpenter for swing tackle Alex Barron, who can provide good depth on either side of the line.
At FS, I think Alan Ball will step in and fill the role nicely this year with Pat Watkins as a solid backup at the position.
Offensively, we are stacked with three good RB's, Austin, Witten, Bryant, and of course, Tony Romo. We have some nice depth at WR with Crayton, Ogletree, Hurd and Roy Williams. If teams want to play vanilla, we can run the ball down their throat. If teams want to bring the house, we spread you out four wide and light it up with our strong receiving corps. Sounds like a win-win to me!
On the defensive side of the ball, we haven't looked this good in a long time. With guys like Ware, Ratliff, Spencer, Newman, Jenkins, Brooking, James and newly drafted Sean Lee, I think we are going to be a nightmare for offenses all year long.
So, let's kickoff this thread for all things Dallas Cowboys in 2010 and 2011.
The 'Boys have a really good chance to become the first team to play at home in a Super Bowl!
Very Early NFC East Prediction:
1. Dallas Cowboys (11-5)
2. New York Giants (10-6)
3. Philadelphia Eagles (9-7)
4. Washington Redskins (9-7)

Yeah, I think that we will get the better end of this trade. It involves 2 1st round picks that haven't really done much. However, we could really use the depth at Tackle and Carpenter's replacement was drafted in Sean Lee. Barron has started several games at Tackle for the Rams.
Hopefully, this will get done by the weekend.0 -

If we traded him for a bag of potato chips we would have gotten the better deal.
Thanks for starting the 2010 thread though. I just couldn't bring myself to do it but now ready to start talking a little football.

No problem. I figured we needed a place for some offseason discussions and I know you are into baseball now.0 -

The latest on the trade of Bobby Carpenter....
Barron welcomes trade to Cowboys
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on May 7, 2010 10:50 AM ET
We mentioned Thursday that Rams tackle Alex Barron has to sign his restricted free agent tender before any trade to the Cowboys for linebacker Bobby Carpenter is completed.
A few of you asked: What if Barron doesn't want to go and refuses to sign?
That won't be a problem. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports Barron welcomes a change of scenery and is looking forward to joining a playoff-caliber team.
So the possible trade that PFT first reported on Thursday should happen. One sticking point in the meantime could be in Carpenter's contract. Carpenter is due a $1.9 million incentive in his current deal based on playing time.
It's believed Carpenter will start in St. Louis at weakside linebacker, making that incentive easy to achieve. The Rams could be trying to renegotiate his contract before finalizing the trade.0 -
Who knew that LT was Dez Bryant's father? They reported he was a pimp, but 16 years old is fucked up0
-
Carpenter for Barron trade complete.
http://sports.espn.go.com/dallas/nfl/ne ... id=5177715
Hopefully, the Cowboys can turn this guy into a success much like they did with Leonard Davis.0 -
Regarding our rb rotation, I don't care who 'starts'. I think this debate about the starter is just a media thing and gives them something to talk about. It is nice to have 3 backs that could be starters on most teams in the nfl.
I guess Barber has been looking healthy and hopefully he returns to his old self this season.
This rotation will be awesome this year. I have a feeling that this could be the last year to keep all three of them if Choice improves his game even more.0 -
I think Jerry Jones would be foolish not to pick up OJ Atogwe. I think Atogwe would complete a defense that is already dominant and fill a hole at safety.0

Cowboys QB Tony Romo off to an impressive start: 'Better than last year'
By DAVID MOORE and TODD ARCHER / The Dallas Morning News
SAN ANTONIO – Tony Romo has consistently been on target in this camp, so much so that it's easy to take for granted.
Almost
"He's had a fabulous camp so far," quarterbacks coach Wade Wilson said. "He plays practice as real as anybody I've ever been around. He treats it like a game. When our guys are rushing him, he has a complete understanding of where he wants to go with the ball. If he has to move to get rid of the ball, he knows where to get it out.
"If everything is clean, he is throwing the ball as accurate as I've seen. Better than last year."
Ball security was an emphasis for Romo in last year's camp. This camp, the staff wants the quarterback to work on his throws to the receiver's back shoulder when the defense is high and takes the throw over the top away.
"He's done that extremely well," Wilson said.
And what about protecting the ball?
"It's natural for him now," Wilson said. "He's got two hands on the ball at all times.
"He's asserting his personality onto the offense as well. In the meetings and on the practice field, it comes in how he approaches things every day."0 -
Fellow Cowboys fan checking in here.......
- Happy to see Carpenter and Flozell gone (false start adams )
- The Romo to Bryant connection is going to be sick. Im just hoping that Austin can keep his magic alive, and that Roy Williams starts playing to his ability.....
- Need to cutback on dumb penalties......killed us last year......0 -
i'll carry roy williams shoulder pads anyday
:PRon: I just don't feel like going out tonight
Sammi: Wanna just break up?0 -
Great article detailing the relationship between the 3 rb's and Jones' team-first philosophy.

Dez Bryant to miss six weeks due to high ankle sprain. That takes him out of all pre-season and possibly the first game. FML.DAL-7/5/98,10/17/00,6/9/03,11/15/13

I think it's hilarious that Kevin Kolb needs to reach out to Troy Aikman for advice. It's too bad the Eagles don't have any HOF Qb's to offer the poor kid advice. 0
