Re: Cowboys War Room: 2007 Season

If the Boys can get Columbo resigned, I'll be happy. I'd hate to go in next year hoping one of the young pups can get the job done. Columbo did a great job IMHO last year, he was a very consistant player. We shouldn't compare who makes or misses the Pro Bowl either SoMiss, we all know RW didn't deserve to go last year, as well as a few others from various teams around the league.

Would you happen to be talking about DeAngelo Fall? And yes, that is not a good barometer of how good a player is, at least not anymore. Flo was terrible, at least as far as I can remember. Maybe he did well at times, but too many times last year, I saw the DE he was supposed to block, cause havoc.

And as far as Grant goes, i'd rather see Dallas trade up and go after Landry. For the rest of FA, maybe bring in another OL, and I want to see Edwards in Dallas.

i guess that you and I have a different definition of "terrible". If Flozell is terrible, then i guess most of the LTs in the league are terrible.

The LT position is fine. Flozell is the best olineman that Dallas has and i bet you that most teams would love to have him as their tackle. There is not a LT in the game nowadays that is going to dominate every player he goes up against every single play, but Flozell has been solid. He was hurt two years ago and took a while to rehab, but when he has been healthy he has played that position very well. As far as the oline as a whole, its not like they need a huge upgrade on the oline. They just need some consistency there and more depth. Bledsoe is not the QB anymore. They dont need to have the most dominant offensive line in the NFL.

you act like the Cowboys offense was bad last year and that they were giving up sacks left and right. Actually, it was the best offense Dallas has had since 1995, and you cant have a good passing offense with a problem at LT. The defense at the end of the year was the problem, not the offense.

they would have to give up quite a bit to trade up that far, and i doubt they would do that for a safety. plus they already tried the rookie thing last year with Watkins. The safety position is one that is best suited for a veteran player.

imo, signing Grant is the best bet. Or they can move Henry to FS

true but you can't argue that Gurode had his best season as a Cowboy and also one of the best at his position last year. The fact he was added to the team after the fact is proof enough that others had taken notice with what he did. The difference tween RW and Gurode is Dre didn't get to go based on his reputation.

I agree, Flozell is just fine, our line is alot better now with Davis.

Re: Cowboys War Room: 2007 Season

Brad Johnson to the Boys. I like this deal. Another mentor for Romo.

Cowboys sign veteran QB Johnson

08:45 PM CST on Monday, March 5, 2007

By TODD ARCHER / The Dallas Morning News IRVING – The Cowboys have another mentor for Tony Romo.

Brad Johnson, who turns 39 in September, signed a three-year contract with the Cowboys worth $7.5 million on Monday, giving the Cowboys some protection should something happen to Romo.
Johnson met with the Cowboys a day after meeting with Denver. He is close with new offensive coordinator Jason Garrett, who was his teammate for part of the 2004 season in Tampa Bay.
“He believes he’s going to a team that has a chance to do something special,” Johnson’s agent, Phil Williams, said.

The Cowboys put themselves in the market for an experienced backup when they cut Drew Bledsoe last week, freeing up $6 million in cap space. In addition to Romo, the only other quarterback on the roster is Matt Baker, who spent last season on the practice squad. Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones said the team could add a quarterback in the draft as well.

The Cowboys have needed their backup quarterback because of injury only once since 2003 and that lasted just the first half of the 2004 Thanksgiving game vs. Chicago when Drew Henson started in place of Vinny Testaverde.

The last time Johnson entered the season as a backup came in 2005 with the Vikings. He started the final nine games after Daunte Culpepper suffered a knee injury and finished with a 7-2 record with 12 touchdown passes and four interceptions.

He started 14 games last year and for the third time in his career had more interceptions (15) than touchdowns (nine).

“If something unforeseen happens to Tony we think (going with a more experienced backup) is a better direction right now,” Jones said before coming to an agreement with Johnson.Cowboys sign veteran QB Johnson
