Cowboys Wanted Jeremy Maclin

Posted by jellis at 4/25/2009 6:36 PM CDT on truebluefanclub.com

Word around The Ranch right now is that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was getting a little itchy for Missouri's Jeremy Maclin as he began to slip earlier this afternoon.

The Cowboys could've possibly traded their second round picks this year and next year to get into the first round if the speed receiver continued to fall. Jones has since said he could see a scenario where the team would move up to get a player, though he wasn't going to actively pursue a trade. If a call came in from another team looking to move down, however, Jones would listen.

As for Maclin, he eventually went 19th overall to the Philadelphia Eagles, so at least Jones will get to see his guy a couple time a year. Their receiving corps will be awfully tough to cover now with DeSean Jackson and Maclin, a couple of burners.

Romo/Jessica saga

Boyzfan94 — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 15:19:50 -0000

Jessica Simpson's father Joe wants his daughter to break up with Tony Romo. The National Enquirer reveals that Papa Joe thinks Tony's "too much of a distraction" for the singer-slash-actress, whose career has been flailing. Because her career was going so much better before she started dating Tony. (March 20)

If anything, Jessica is the distraction.....too funny. I really hope Romo drops this idiot..

Ware wins first Butkus award

Boyzfan94 — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 16:44:08 -0000

The Butkus Award has always been associated with college football. Specifically, the person deemed to be the best linebacker in college football.

For the first time, the folks who give out the Butkus Award have bought a placque and a rubber chicken dinner for the best linebacker at the NFL level.

The first winner? DeMarcus Ware of the Cowboys. (Hey, isn’t he a defensive end?)

Ware presumably beat out linebacker James Harrison of the Steelers, who was named the defensive player of the year by the Associated Press.

Per Mac Engel of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the Butkus Award is determined by a vote of 51 NFL coaches, media, and personnel people.

At least they got this award right.......

Witten and TO nearly come to blows!!!!

Boyzfan94 — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 17:54:28 -0000

The Star-Telegram is reporting that wide receiver Terrell Owens and tight end Jason Witten had “a near altercation” in the locker room on Friday. Citing two unnamed sources, the paper reports that Owens and Witten exchanged words before being separated.

http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/12/13/report-to-witten-had-near-altercation/

I hate to say it guys, but TO may have to go after the season. We can't have these types of distractions if we are to succeed in the future. I'm not expecting a whole lot tomorrow against the Giants because I think the distractions this week are too great too overcome. It will only fester if we lose tomorrow night and the locker room will only get more divided. If it has to come down to TO or Witten, say bye-bye to TO after the season. I don't know if the two can co-exist next year and we can't afford these distractions going into the 2009 season.

Shawn Springs talking smack

Boyzfan94 — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 01:22:46 -0000

It's not like TO need any extra motivation, but here it is....

For some strange reason, Redskins CB Shawn Springs decided to publicly challenge T.O. As if the Original 81 didn't have enough motivation coming off a two-catch, 17-yard game.

"I have a track meet Sunday," Springs told the Washington Times. "I can't wait to see it. Me and Terrell 'Usain Bolt' Owens. I'm excited for it. He better be ready."

Not sure it's wise to talk trash to a receiver who torched the Redskins for 173 yards and four TDs at Texas Stadium last season. T.O. did a bunch of that damage to the middle of Washington's Cover 2 zone, but I'm sure the Cowboys would love to see Springs try to stick T.O. without any help.

Ron's son and T.O. have some history. Springs did a solid job vs. T.O. in their first three 49ers-Seahawks meetings, but T.O. got loose for two TDs during a Monday night game in 2002, famously celebrating the second one by pulling a Sharpie out of his sock to sign the football.

"That didn't bother me," Springs told the Times. "I was talking so much trash to him [before the touchdown]."

Springs might be saying the same thing Sunday.

Springs isn't the sharpest tool in the shed is he? TO is going to torch their secondary on Sunday.

PacMan & Jessica stirring the pot...Oh boy..

PACMAN, YOKO ROMO STIR UP THE EAGLES Posted by Mike Florio on September 9, 2008, 5:06 p.m.
Monday nights game between the Eagles and Cowboys suddenly got more interesting.

Cornerback Pacman Jones (who might or might not have been talking in a higher voice) wasnt impressed with the fact that three Eagles receivers gained more than 100 yards through the air on Sunday.

They played the Rams, dude, Pacman said.

Though Jones words werent a direct slam at the Eagles, the girlfriend of quarterback Tony Romo (an admitted member of PFT Planet) declared her support for her beaus team during a Tuesday appearance on ABCs Good Morning America.

Go Cowboys! she yelled during her performance, later adding a message to the Eagles.

Thats next week! Were gonna kick your butts, too!

Quick poll: Canty or Spears

Boyzfan94 — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 16:51:12 -0000

I think a decision will have to be made whether to keep Canty or Spears by the end of the season. I don't think both players will be given new contracts based on other players like Tank, Colombo and Ware who need to be resigned. Based on "what have you done for me lately" the clear edge is Canty on being here long term. Spears has to show it, when it matters plain and simple. Not some meaningless pre-season games over a quarter or two. Spears is signed through 2010, but a decision on whether to trade him this off season (Miami?) could be made.

This could be a situation like Roy Williams where you give a player a new contract and he stops producing. I think and hopefully, I'm wrong that Spears new found motivation is only for a new contract and once he get's it he will turn into the average DE he really is and has shown over the past three seasons.

I still think Spears needs to find himself at NT to have a long term career here.

McQuistan looks to be the favorite of replacing Kosier

Boyzfan94 — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 21:42:56 -0000

The Cowboys' initial answer to the question about how to replace Kyle Kosier is plugging in Pat McQuistan at left guard.

McQuistan is working there with the first team during today's practice, which was open to the media for only the first 30 minutes (routine procedure from here on out). McQuistan has played primarily right tackle for the Cowboys, but he has worked some at guard.

Spencer Increased Reps. Ellis Not Happy?

Boyzfan94 — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 14:49:06 -0000

This from the DMN Blog. Ellis better get used to this because it's clear Spencer is going to see alot more playing time than last season.

5:17 -- DeMarcus Ware (head) will practice, but Anthony Spencer will still get first-team reps with Greg Ellis (back) watching. Phillips gushed about Spencer this afternoon. "Anthony Spencer has done extremely well. He looks better than he did last year, and I thought he did a lot of good things last year."

5:22 -- Well, apparently Greg Ellis didn't get the memo that he's not practicing. He just walked out onto the field wearing his shoulder pads. You don't think he's paranoid about losing reps, do you?

5:51 -- Another exciting Greg Ellis update: It doesn't look like he's actually going through drills. He pretty much a spectator in shoulder pads at this point. I'll let you know if he gets reps during competitive stuff later.

6:31 -- Some red-zone inside run notes: Jay Ratliff played DE. Marcus Spears played NT. Starting to wonder if Wade Phillips fibbed about those moves not being permanent. ... Anthony Spencer got the first-team reps at LOLB with Greg Ellis sitting out. Spencer had a TFL. ... Andre Gurode was flagged for holding Spears. ... Justin Rogers is getting reps at strong ILB and ROLB. ... They ran a cute play to try to get Felix Jones outside. Jones lined up as a WR to the right and motioned into the backfield behind Marion Barber. They faked a dive right to Barber and flipped the ball left to Jones. It might work against some teams, but DeMarcus Ware met Jones several yards behind the line of scrimmage.

If this persist, it should be only a matter of days before Ellis complains.

I guess the QB situation is really a mess down there for them to bring Quincy in
