Malapropismic Depository Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Guessing part of Holcomb's motivation for bulking up, was last season criticism by some, that he was undersized. And/or may have experienced consequences on the field himself, from being undersized. He is certainly more horizontal now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malapropismic Depository Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I never seen fans so excited to watch a shuttle race between players, lol. I know why, though. It's a combination of starving for sports, plus the hype around our prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 Chase and Sweat look ridiculous in that clip. We have so much speed coming off the edge. We really need to find a trade partner for Kerrigan. Love the guy and what he has been to this organization. But we dont need him anymore. Sad but true.

Naw, they both have massive value to us this year. At maximum, you don’t want Sweat or Chase playing more than 55-60% of reps. That leaves significant playing time at both edge positions, and filling that with quality players is a major plus. There is a clear scenario where both Kerrigan and Anderson still log about 40-45% of our snaps. Edge rusher is played by committee. Trust a Zombie. A horde is a much more effective than a lone individual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malapropismic Depository Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 How good can we be in the regular season, with such limited full-contact practice and preparation, and practices that truly simulate real games ? And will players be timid about contact in practice and games, out of concern for the virus ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COWBOY-KILLA- Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 The cards are stacked against us. But we also have nothing to lose, no one expects anything from us. We should play carefree and loose and let it fly on O and on D. Who knows, we may just catch fire..But Go for it. Have fun and play fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think about precautions, implications, etc before I do things now, but WHILE I’m actively doing something, it doesn’t really register. If they’ve decided not to opt out they’ve already weighed the pros and cons and made a decision. They know the risks and they know jobs will be on the line if they don’t perform. So I think between the lines the players will be “normal.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justice98 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Quote A large number of Dallas Cowboys are forming their own training camp bubble before on-field practices start Friday, league sources told ESPN. Players, coaches and staff will set up their summer home at the five-star Omni Hotel that is next to the Cowboys' practice facility to help their fight against COVID-19. One official said he believed the majority of the team would be staying there. With good reason: The set-up has everything the team will need. The Omni is connected to Ford Center, the 12,000-seat stadium that is attached to the Cowboys' facility. During the regular season, the Cowboys stay at the hotel on nights before home games at AT&T Stadium. They conduct their meetings at The Star, and players receive treatment at their normal training rooms before sleeping at the hotel. When I see stuff like this, there's no reason on earth, Snyder can't have an elaborate setup like this for his boys. He just chooses not to. Certainly would come in handy at a time like this.

KDawg Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I hate to give credit where it’s due when it comes to Dallas... but say what you want about Jones, he has his finger on the pulse of what is advantageous to his team in almost any situation aside from, maybe, general manager and some coaching personnel decisions. And even in those areas he’s not a below average decision maker. Snyder should listen/take cues from his friend a little more. Dallas is equipped for nearly any situation. We are... not.

It sounds nice on paper, but you have to focus on specifics in a situation like this and there are probably massive oversights that can lead to problems. A bubble only works if everyone participates, players, support staff and CARETAKERS included. Do the workers at the hotel have any obligation to practice strict bubble practices themselves? Are they being quarantined at all? Can they not visit their own families? Are they not ordering takeout? Are they being frequently tested? I’d doubt many of those. It’s all well and good that the players are doing their part, but if the caretakers are not doing the same, like in a real bubble, then more harm than good will come of this. You would be packing a bunch of players in a close living space, where they will be constantly exposed to outside forces. If one caretaking member gets sick, they would have the potential to infect your entire team because they are all packed together like fish in a barrel. I’d argue a semi-bubble is worse than no bubble at all. If Zombie movies have taught us anything, its that it is easiest to spread something when you pack a bunch of people in a small space. How many “safe zones” really stay safe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDawg Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I agree that a bubble for just one team isn’t necessarily a great plan due to the outside factors involved. Other teams aren’t isolated, either. So the bubble idea is for naught once play begins and they interact with teams that aren’t bubbled. But it certainly is a positive that the Cowboys have state of the art facilities on their grounds and they aren’t spread over two states and, in name, a District.

Always A Commander Never A Captain Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Didn't realize the Cowboys HQ/practice facility was next to the stadium. That's a brand new stadium, so it's gotta be brand new training HQ/practice stuff as well right? Sounds nicer than Ashburn at least. The semi-bubble idea is nice, but as previously mentioned. A bubble concept needs to be full or it's not a bubble. Can outsiders stay at that hotel? At a certain point if a team has no positive cases for players/staff in their off-season training for months, then it makes sense to keep that status quo as outside factors are theoretically known and self limited. A full bubble would be ideal for a team, but that would be extremely hard to implement for just one team. The NBA is blowing through a buttload of cash each day to make their bubble as closed as possible. Pre-approved staff, entertainment, therapists, etc. All of them undergoing testing and some levels of quarantine. It's more feasible once you scale up to 20+ teams instead of 1. The cost per team is greatly reduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyfan1993 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 @Alcoholic Zebra the cowboys practice facility isn’t next to their stadium, it’s next to Ford Center, which is a 12,000 seat stadium that the team practices in. still looks nice though.
