  1. If Mike Evans and/or Eric Ebron are gone by the time we pick in the first round definitely draft Calvin Pryor. If all 3 are taken I DO NOT want us to draft Haha Clinton-DIx, because I truly believe he had bust written all over him. He played against SEC QBs whom are average for college standards. The only quality QB he faced was Johnny Manziel, and he torched Alabama's secondary two years in a row. He lives off the Alabama pass rush for big plays, and he was suspended because he was g...

      JoeyFlex, I believe in something along that line as well. Anything can happen, but he has too many question marks to be confident that he will last.

      These kind of things make the job harder for the opposing QB, which leads to bad throws, and predictability of when they are going to pass the ball. Like I said, this is not a problem for every player, but some it definitely is. Reid was taken under a great defensive group, which is why he was starter ready so quick, and why he progressed and lived to his potential so early. Something the Cowboys did not provide for Claiborne.

      Also i think have talented DB's around you is not as critical in allowing a Safety to be a better player. Especially when you have someone to model after in Peterson. I am talking about more on the line of getting help from a dominant pass rush, great run defense that makes the opposing team one dimensional etc.

      Cowboys expected him to come and dominate like he did in college with out needing any more development or time to get his feet set, he was still a kid for the most part and they needed to guide him which they did not. Talent around the player is more of an overview not a rule. Most of the bust draft picks are from these situations, but definitely not all.

      I think the only way we wait till 2nd round to draft a Safety is if there is another player to good to pass up on still available at #17. I do like Lamarcus Joyner though as a 2nd round pick, because he plays with straight up emotion, which is a good sign in not being a bust since they have such love for the game.

      Just saw your comment, but that is the problem, it is risky to draft a Safety in the later rounds because if he turns out not to be a solid NFL starting talent then we are going to have a big whole at FS this year. I say Jimmie Ward or Lamarcus Joyner are the lowest we can afford to go in drafting a Safety. We have to get a 1st/2nd round talent to have the best bet to get a franchise FS.

      Sorry for all of the posts I had to make them all short so it would not cut off, but who do you think we should draft at FS if you are not a fan of Calvin Pryor?

      When a guy like Pryor comes to the NFL, he is used to the responsibility of having to step up and do more. Which is why there are fewer busts from non powerhouse schools, because they are more familiar with leading their team and coming up big when they need it. Which tends to make these guys more mature for the most part. The same case can be made for Derrick Ward, but he is best at SS so it is hard to say.

      It is quite opposite for players not on powerhouse teams. Such as Pryor, he was the best player out there when Louisville was on defense. He took the biggest responsibility on that side of the ball, because he was head and shoulders above the rest of his defense, same can be said about Bridgewater on the other side of the ball.

      They just have a bad system that is lacking enough leadership, chemistry, and skill. They do a poor job of getting the most out of their players which makes life harder for everyone out there, including Claiborne. They continue to replace different coaches expecting results, but that side of the ball is just not on the same page. So either Dallas changes their regime, or Cliaborne needs to get out of Dallas if he wants to succeed in this league.

      He has the talent to be a great player, but if he can't transcend to the level of play in the big leagues in a season or two, his mental stature will end his career. You can not play in the league unless you have a high level a confidence, if you lose that, the potential you have goes with it. This is why the Cowboys struggle on the defensive side so painfully.

      In Claiborne's case, this transition from a dominant college team to the NFL does have some impact on him. However, he was thrown into situation that was destined to fail. He needed guidance from veteran DB's and a good DB coach to help his transition to the next level, but instead he was surrounded by defensive players without chemistry, and went through 2 different Defensive coordinators in the early stages of his career.

      Pryor is our guy. As for Claiborne, that is the problem for many big name players coming off of talented college teams. They get help from excellence around them, giving them less responsibilities on the field, allowing them to focus on their specific job. Once they get to the NFL however, the responsibilities are on a whole new level, and when they have to take care of all the different jobs they are assigned, it is common for them to struggle.

      I can't see your full post either, but that is because Elam is meant to be a SS so that is why he didn't play that much single high. I will agree that Calvin Pryor is a similar type of player to Elam, but Pryor has the potential to own the backfield at FS. His angles are not excellent, and that ties in with his range, but that is an aspect that vastly improve in overtime. Playing with vets, and NFL coaches will only make him better in those areas. I just believe in the long run, Pry...

      Elam played SS in college, Pryor played FS in college. Pryor may not be the standard prototype FS like Clinton-Dix is, but the dude can straight up ball and was the shining light in a Louisville defense that was not all that great. The majority of Alabama players drafted to the NFL to not live up to the hype they were given, because they were surrounded with so many other good players that it made their job so much easier. Same scenario applies when drafting LSU players, such as CB Morris C...

  16. We have two great Running Backs, and arguably the best Fullback in the league. We have Yanda and two giants for tackles. So why is our run game slacking? Because of the play calling! A repetition of right up the middle is so unhealthy for a good run game. They need to switch it up and keep defenses guessing! There needs to be stretch plays, and pitches, and counters etc. That is why the teams that use the read option are so successful with the run game (Eagles, Seahawks, Redski...

      We got rid of Cam because he didn't know how to use Boldin and Pitta, and he ran the ball on 3rd and 7.
