I wouldn't say he has no value. 2006 and 2007 they ran the two RB system with Julius Jones and Marion Barber.
Worth a shot, but I don't think you'd get anywhere near a 2nd. Not like the Elliott owner is going to go out and grab two handcuffs (is Morris even the backup? Doubtful) when the whole point in Elliott is that he's a 3-down back.
Agree with he tactic but there is no way you will get a 2nd for him. Assuming the guy who drafts Elliot is sitting at 1.01 or 1.02, It is far more likely they would offer a 4th (being in that it is likely a 4.01 or 4.02 and the pitch from their side is it is a late 3rd).
Not so much.Singing bonus for DMC and Morris are sunk costs and DMC is only $1.25 million and Morris $1.2. Elliiot is projected to count $4.5 against the cap.
If anything, the draft shook out more in Dallas favor of not drafting Elliott and making the Alf signing make a lot of sense. Then they went all Jerry Jones on their fans.Crippler said:
LOL....Buckner is not a scheme fit. He is an 5 tech. Not a 4-3 DE.
Funny...Ozzie Newsome tried to trade up to get the same player.Touché, sir.
But that EzE pick had Jerrah's fingerprints all over it.
You make it sound like Ramsey was a polished CB without question marks. His ability to catch/ballhawk needs significant improvement. Rather have a plug and play potential pro bowler this year vs project player at #4 slot.
LOLZ? Seriously? Because there weren't other talented defensive options or trade down opportunities? Could they really not have moved down a couple slots for a team that loved Ramsey or Buckner and still gotten Zeke?
I thought Ramsey could absolutely be the pick. Zeke makes the Cowboys a better team then if you add Ramsey.....just my opinion. You brought up Buckner and I explained why he was never even considered. "Typical JJ pick" You do know its Will McClay and Stephen Jones pretty much running things. Been like that for many years. Again, Ozzie a widely respected GM was trading up for Zeke and is on record with that comment.
Jerry said a team tried to trade up a few spots but did not offer enough and he added something along the lines regarding Stephen has a good relationship with this team and was told by the team the player they wanted was Elliot. At the time most people assumed that team was 49'ers for a few reasons but later reports came out it was Ravens.
In case anyone cares the Ravens asst-GM said they were trying to trade up for Ramsey, not Elliot. He did allude to somehow Jerry getting some kind of bad information they wanted Elliot which he said was false and told Dallas as much.
I'm hanging onto him until roster cuts in my league. Injuries happen all the time. There was already an injury scare w/ Zeke in his first practice.
Ctrl (Win) or Command (Mac) + right click will give you a menu where you can remove it. It works about 75% of the time but sometimes the quote box gets stuck there.
When is he coming back from his broken arm? Also a lot of people think that DMC may be cut.
Dunbar cleared to practice this week.
McFadeen got almost all of the run with 1st team from what I saw. Also, with the news that Zeke might start the year, Alf isn't valuable right now in most leagues.
if you have the roster space he is def worth a flyer. I am having a tough time seeing Dmac touching the ball 20+ times for 6(?) games.
I think he is.... but Morris always looks great for the Cowboys, at least to me. One thing though is we know that McFadden is a better receiver, I think that's a fair comment, that might be one reason he is the 'starter' while EE is out.
If you think it'll happen in the first 6 games draft Morris
Full disclosure? Salfino is known for hyperbole and i laughed when I read that tweet. For the record, even 70% of Zeke's weekly production in a standard league this season is this:
