DeMarco Murray 29 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 It's a good signing. Dude has a non stop motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmacop Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Well, he's only 27 years old, instead of Jenkins' 30. So at least we got (another) player that has the chance to improve, rather than the inevitable post-30 decline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoCalMike Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Can't tell if ESPN 980 is just trying to look at this through burgundy & gold glasses, but supposedly Bowen subbed for Marcus Spears when he was hurt and played extremely well....so take that for what it's worth....

rookieskin Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Oh, did we just run up the asking price for Jenkins, just prior to signing Bowen? (I kinda like this thought) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Hmm. Ok, that's interesting. Younger than Jenkins, but, NO WHERE NEAR as good or active. A completely serviceable 3-4 end, but nothing more than that. Unless he's replacing Carriker and we're still in the Jenkins market, this means we're either going to load up for one big splash, OR we have a series of mid-level offensive line moves to come. This is not an exciting move by any stretch. It does continue to strengthen the defense and make it fit the 3-4 and maintains a generally young deploy. If we also get Jenkins, I'll say this move seems overkill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzy Dunlop Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Seems like a nice chunk of change for Bowen. He outplayed Spears but Spears was playing like crap when that happened. Bowen is a decent player though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowen is best as a situational guy. He played well on 3rd downs and was always in the backfield. If he plays a similar/increased role that he did in Dallas you guys will love this signing.

SkinFaninOKC Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 http://www.nfl.com/player/stephenbowen/2506738/careerstats Did we just throw money at him like he's Albert? This guy is average at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bird_1972 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I don't know much about Bowen, but I actually like this signing. 1) He's younger 2) He isn't coming off of a Super Bowl and looking to cash in Did we pay too much, though? Seems like a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy is average at best. He was used as a 3rd down pass rusher / sub. He will shine in D.C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
authentic Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I read an article that the cowboys were "Scared to death" of losing Bowen in FA. Looks like we got a quality signing. Plus he's YOUNG.... This D, will look very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly nothing wrong with depth. The more the merrier. I'm just not convinced Colfield's the primary NT, so there's gotta be something else up their sleeve, in my estimation.
