I'm surprised they waived him. Who is gonna replace his roster spot?

They need to waive Stephen McGee. Another waste from that draft.

[M.O.T.H.]

So Gurode and Dezzy have been upgraded a bit. Dez looks worse off than Gurode now. Gurode is probable ; Dez questionable.

Jesse Holley was brought up off of PS.

Seriously, my handicapped grandma could've done better for the cowboys than they did.

Unless Jason Williams becomes an animal, it's gotta be one of worst 3 in franchise history.

Also, can anyone tell me why on NFL network, Rod woodson is such a FAGG*T towards the cowboys?

Did the cowboys not sign him in free agency or something back in the day?

He is a fagg*t. That ugly little *****. It pisses me off.

What the hell? How could they give up on the guy so quick? He looked like he had some potential, and he's only been there for two years and one was on IR. That draft is pretty hopeless now. Outside of two good backup OLBs it's terrible. Hopefully Jason Williams steps up, but I don't know if they'll give him time.

YEAH D-UNIT, PLUS REP THE SH*T OUTTA THAT POST!!!

But seriously, rod woodson is a fagg*t. Maybe it was cause he was a steeler, but idk. He's just like the cowboys suck romo isnt good everytime they are brought up.

D, just to answer your question Hamlins spot was filled by this guy. Like MOTH said Holley was the guy who came up when Brewster was cut.

The Cowboys added another offensive tackle to the roster on Thursday in signing Jermey Parnell off the New Orleans Saints practice squad.

Coach Wade Phillips said Parnell is athletic and a big guy who can move well.

The 6-foot-6, 290-pound Parnell played only one season of football at Ole Miss and was a defensive end that year. He played four seasons for Ole Miss' basketball team.

Something I think that is interesting to note Holley was thought of as our best special teamer this preseason. Then we bring in a 6'6 290lb pound OT who played basketball for 4 years...you have to think he is quite the athete as well and likely will be a contributor on special teams. Both Brewster and Hamlin were jokes on these units and probably the reason they were upgraded. Dallas was aware that neither of them were future starters and their inability to contribute on special teams was the biggest reason for these midseason cuts.

Sam Hurd better watch out for Jessie Holley.

[LonghornsLegend]

Yea there really is no sugar coating the 2009 draft class, had we found at least a potential starter on the inside of our offensive line(RG or RT), and a Safety who could start it wouldn't be as bad as it was. Hell 1 player would be fine, after how impressive 2008 was this was certainly a surprise.

[Go Cowboys]

Not sure about you guys but this team looks like one of the most undisciplined in the NFL. Parcells wouldn't have stood for some of these penalties (The celebration ones seem most easy to control).

This is getting ridiculous putting our defense in short field because of crap discipline by our offense.


EDIT: Yes, I know the Columbo was an accident when he fell, and I am not sure why you get one for a leap frog....Just saying overall there are too many penalties and there should be a way to control some of them. Starting with excessive celebration.

[Modano]

That last penalty on Jenkins was complete BS.

[xxxxxxxx]

2011 draft whats up?

[Gribble]

Dang. No more expectations but I'm going to keep watching cause there are guys on this team I'll root for regardless of how this coaching staff bungles things.

[M.O.T.H.]

I at least hope Garrett gets fired this week. lol. It aint happening, though.

I wouldnt even care all that much if we canned everyone I guess. And I absolutely love Wade.

It's not even worth getting angry over this season anymore. Anything good we get out of this season is just a bonus of sorts.

edit...

Oh and cant I believe Felix had 10 receptions.

That Vikes D-Line was amazing against the run, as to be expected. So throwing to Felix should have been a bit of priority, but jesus, we dipped into that well a few too many times today.

Yes indeedy. SF up in the rain here & Dallas down... not over yet. Going to have the same rcd. as ...... yes, the 9ers! They will still tank & be a frontrunner in the Mallett/Locker sweepstakes.

Glad I missed the game, never thought I would be saying that.

2 excessive celebration penalties in 2 games, really??????????? Wade is a goner. And he s/b. Jesus............

Will Jerry FINALLY draft a safety now?

[pocketaces]

Same old story, ST's, penalties and turn overs. Its getting hard to root for such a stupid team

Jerry would have to actually know how to draft to do that.

Our good drafts have come under Jimmie Johnson and BP, with a few sprinkled in between. Let's be honest when Jerry has control it is a bad draft.

Just got home from the game. Sat next to 2 horribly obnoxious Cowboys fans. Your guys fan base is absolutely brutal. Nearly every single Cowboys fan was screaming obscenities/insults at other fans after any type of decent play by Dallas or bad play by Minnesota. At least 5-6 near brawls in the stands. It was bad.

I can't believe how putrid the Cowboys playcalling was in the second half. Dallas was lighting it up with swing passes in the first half, but Vikings defense clearly adjusted to it but Garrett kept calling what seemed like the same play over and over again for 2 yard gains in the second half. Miles Austin badly, BADLY burned our corners multiple times down the field before he realized the ball was dumped off. Roy Williams was having his way as well. I just can't believe Romo/Garrett didn't take more shots down the field on our corners.

Your guys defensive front 7 was extremely stout today and really should have been the difference in the game. We weren't getting a thing on offense outside of one drive and our offensive line was manhandled for the most part. DeMarcus Ware is an absolute beast and I'm so glad I got to see him in person. He was unblockable today for the most part.

I had a pretty good view of that, and it looked like Jenkins had his free hand impeding Lewis and the ball was not uncatchable from my perspective. It could have gone either way, they could have let it go considering the circumstances.

I really respect Dallas, because it seems like our teams like to take similar paths throughout each season, and it almost made me feel bad with all of the mistakes and penalties you guys were making, because I'm so used to it from our side. I am usually not a big 'fire-the-coaches-and-everything-will-be-fine' type of guy, but the talent is clearly there but the mental preparation and discipline just isn't.

Jerry Jones sat about 3 rows away from me in a suite and he was badly heckled the entire game. He took it like a champ though.

Anyways, good luck the rest of the way. Sloppy game, but entertaining nonetheless. Harvin is soooooooo much better than I or anyone else thought he was going to be.

That's not true. 2008 was a stud draft class featuring Jenkins, Felix, Scandrick, Choice, Martellus Bennett, lots of contributors. 2007 had Anthony Spencer, Doug Free, and Alan Ball. Now while Ball has been average at best he's still a starter right now, Free is the future at LT and has played excellent and Spencer is the stud pass rusher we needed opposite Ware and we acquired an extra 1st which ended up being Felix, for getting the same guy we were gonna take at that spot.


2006 was trash but guess what? Parcells had a huge hand in that draft, guys like Skylar Green may have been all Jerry but Fasano, Carpenter, those guys were all Parcells.


2005 was a stud class that also should give Parcells tons of credit, but as we all know he wanted Spears with our 1st pick, Jerry wanted Ware.


So while we had tons of misses in all those draft, and a terrible 2009 class, it bothers me when people act like "oh if Jerry runs a draft it'll be a failure" while they just ignore who he has brought in. Parcells has had tons of crappy draft classes and Jerry gave him power to get his guys in here, Parcells was still bringing in crap draft classes in Miami also.


I'm not trying to wear blinders and act like Jerry is the best evaluator of talent, but it's always funny to me when people point out all of Jerry's draft misses, ignore the hits, and constantly act like he never drafts anyone worth a damn.

In minnesota, losing the turnover, penalty, and field position battle, we were still the better team.

Time to draft some o-lineman and hire bill cowher. This team is to good.

Anyway, time to start watching movies on sundays cause this season is over!

[LonghornsLegend]

On topic of the game, another typical Dallas game. We commit tons of penalties every single week, no reason to act like it'll change with our coaches. Garrett drew up a confusing gameplan(hey, were 5 for 5 completing 3rd and short conversions with Barber, let's be cute and pass that's surely fool them!1!!!11), Jenkins for some reason is getting out of control with the penalties, special teams is back to a POS.


And it'll be exactly the same next week, and with all that being said the game will be close in the 4th quarter, then all of those reasons listed above will compound and magnify so we can lose another close heart breaker.


At least there is always the draft, because we should be picking top 5 and have a chance to land an elite player.

[xxxxxxxx]

We're gonna spank the giants too, to bad it will be 4 games to late.

[D-Unit]

Don't worry guys we're aaaaaaalmost there!

We just have to lose a few more games to put us completely out of it, until our team starts winning amazingly meaningless games to ruin our draft position!

lol. It's probably going to happen that way. Bust out a good 3-4 wins to close out a meaningless season. haha.

Something in me still doesnt want to give up this season...but it obviously looks bleak. Just a mess. Whatever though, I'm not going to let this team or the losses get to me. I've gone through enough losing seasons to know when it's time to calm myself a little bit, during rough seasons. haha.
