Byron Jones, who should be eating up $9-10M of this team's 2020 cap instead of Crawford, is a case of the opposite. They decided years ago that he wasn't in their long-term plans, weren't even going to exercise his 5th-year option but for Kris Richard's insistence, and were not dissuaded by two years of All-Pro caliber play. With Crawford, they did the deal early with the logic being "hey we could be getting 80% of the production of a Suh or Dareus at 50% of the market value" and just... never admitted defeat. I honestly thought the cutting of Crawford would be the first thing the new coaching staff did. I thought he was a pet of Garretts‘ staff. I guess he was actually attached to the FO more than Garrett. I also find it interesting that when Crawford thought he might be released he offered to take a pay cut, and the Cowboys refused. I’ve never heard of a player offering to take a pay cut and the team saying no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJ and the Clapper are an awful lot alike, philosophically, speech-pattern wise, etc. Some sects of Cowboys Twitter will insist to you that Stephen is the reason Garrett lasted as long as he did here, not Jerry. I don't where they source that, but you listen to Stephen on his weekly 105.3 appearance and the way he phrases/frames things (process, execution) is decidedly Garrett-esque.

djdunkenstein Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Was it a ploy?? All week we heard about little Ben zipping the ball around. We came out with so many gadget plays.. which I liked. However I didnt see how his "amazing" practices rolled into that game. Could it of been the wind? Maybe.. I just feel like every play he wanted to escape the pocket. I mean Id be scared too with that Oline. Just my thoughts. Happy we lost tho, but it was kinda fun game to watch, well I mean it was fun watching the defense. Glad they actually came to play for once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He struggled going through progressions imo. Common in rookies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
