Goaldeje Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Yeah, that struck me as a little weird, too. I would have thought they would have gone with O-line depth, or even a starter. But Tuna knows best . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel22 Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Bc Fasano looked the most like Mark Bavaro out of the people left on the board. No, not looked like him on game film, looked like him in his media head-shot. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stram22 Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 This is the same team wanted Julius Jones over Stephen Jackson. Basically they aren't that bright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-O-G Posted April 30, 2006 Author Share Posted April 30, 2006 I mean seriosuly, they had a lot of legit players available at #53. They could have done better than a backup TE, but I guess I have no reason to complain since we hate them anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrmooref Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Because parcells is an idiot. I mean look at what they have done to that team in the last few years. They have nothing to build on. Julius Jones when they could of had Jackson. Bledsoe with Mr. never-was Henson to back him up. And nobody below the age of 55 on the offensive or defensive line. And of course, Mr Stability, TO. Not that I mind, cause I hate the brokebacks but they are going to have to do some serious rebuilding when Parcells realizes he's no Gibbs and retires...again...again. :dallasuck :dallasuck :dallasuck :dallasuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stram22 Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Numbers aside I still think Jackson is and will be the better RB. Obviously you disagree.

I was merely pointing out the facts. But I will agree with you that Jackson will probably end up with better career numbers when all is said and done. Jones has proven, thus far, to be too injury prone to pile up the numbers over a long career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowBoutThemBoys Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 I was under the impression that Jason Witten was a top 10 TE in the NFL, why did they use such an early pick on that TE from Notre Dame? The Cowboys needed another TE because they are switching to a 2 TE set this season and don't plan to use a FB or third WR much. They'll basically play most downs with 2 WR and 2 TE. I think it's a good move because the extra TE can either stay in and block, which probably improves their pass protection better than anyone they have now or could have drafted, or can go out on a pass route giving them 5 eligible receivers. Indy's been using this 2 TE/no FB set mixed in with their 3 WR set forever. Fosano also played in a similar offense to Dallas' in Notre Dame. It'll be interesting to see how well it works in Dallas.

boobiemiles Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Dallas gave up 50 sacks last year. They need O line help......on the other hand no the don't. The easier it is to sack Bledsoe the better. Thanks Jerry Jones. Bill Parcells is a lame duck caoch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImmortalDragon Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 I read that Dallas is switching the the 2 TE primary set. Basically getting rid of the fullback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEHEREAFTER Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Because Dallas has 6 picks in the final four rounds after, not only addressing many needs through FA, but also starring at many great players STILL available day two. Also Jawarski called him the most complete TE in the draft. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 I read that Dallas is switching the the 2 TE primary set. Basically getting rid of the fullback. There you go.... Cowboys are looking to go more two te's. When you look at it that way, Fasano is a great pick. To me, he is a safer pick than Carpenter. I am very confident that Fasano will trasition nicely to the NFL. Carpenter has a tougher road, IMO. Though ultimately, i think both players will be good nfl players.

Also Jawarski called him the most complete TE in the draft. We'll see. The Cowboys did a great job grabbing a couple of players (Fasano and Hatcher) after trading down to aquire more day two picks. We had a meager day two going in, now have a full boat to manuever anywhere we need to go. With the Scouting department shining last year, I have confidence they will do well today.

McMetal Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 I wondered about this pick too. It just seems wasteful to draft a position where you already have an All-Pro guy who is in his prime. I don't care how many TE's you plan to put on the field. Grab a stiff out of FA and use the high picks to address immediate needs, like Safety or OL. Glad you guys are happy with the pick though.

ZoEd Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Yeah, that trade really looks awful right now.Equal numbers and we have Marcus Spears to boot. They aint too bright there in Dallas. Parcells knows nothing about drafting players. Even numbers? Jackson has more yds per carry, more receiving yds and had to share time with Faulk. JJ is the second coming of LT according to you brokebacks so it's pointless to argue with you about that. The good thing is while all of you hang your hat's on JJ being so great we continue to kick your asses. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good thing is while all of you hang your hat's on JJ being so great we continue to kick your asses. :laugh: For slightly better numbers in what was a better offense, I would not sacrifice Marcus Spears as well, especially if Jules can stay healthy and produce like we all know he's capable of doing. I'm happy with the trade and I'm sure the Bills are too :laugh: Anyway, Dallas took a TE because they are switching to the Ace formation... 2 TEs that start rather than a fullback. I don't know why we didn't take Pope who's easily a better receiver, but from what I hear he wasn't a good enough blocker for Bill's liking. Either way, it wasn't a wasted pick. Now, Jason Hatcher in Round 3... DUMBASSES, KO SIMPSON WAS RIGHT THERE FOR THE TAKING... ARGH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
