I know last year the reason given for his struggles was that Claiborne was a much better press corner, and Dallas was playing cover-2. He was a terrible fit for that scheme.

I don't know what cover schemes Dallas runs this year though.

If its true that he's a pure press-man to man CB, then it may be worth a look.

Of course if we don't start getting consistent pressure, doesn't matter who is back there.

Re: On to the Cowboys

But for $4 million-plus? I'd rather just go with Corey White, who we know doesn't suck, than to take a chance on a guy who may not suck, but probably does.

If we traded for him we'd only be responsible for his base salary for 13 more games, which is 1.5 million, and we could cut him if he sucks with zero cap hit in 2015.

Re: On to the Cowboys

I think they're taking a second look at Derek Cox, someone we tried out when we picked up Keenan Lewis. He's getting guaranteed money from the Chargers already....

Re: On to the Cowboys

Cornerback Morris Claiborne skipped the Cowboys' walk-through practice and angrily left the club's Valley Ranch training facility Tuesday after being informed that Orlando Scandrick was replacing him in the starting lineup, multiple sources told ESPN.

The Cowboys could fine Claiborne for missing the practice or conduct detrimental to the team.

Claiborne's demotion came a few hours after Jerry Jones said on his weekly radio show that the third-year cornerback had not been worth the sixth pick of the 2012 in the draft, which Dallas moved up to acquire.

^ Yeah, that's not the guy of guy we need. At least P-Rob owns his struggles and doesn't complain when he rightfully benched.

I say the D puts it all together in this game. One-sided blow out ensues.
And, Junyah gets to Tony Romo, alot, who looks like this after the game:

Re: On to the Cowboys

Dallas is a perfect example of the old saying, "Every once in awhile even the sun shines on a dog's a$$!"

If you let them hang around they have the ability to pull a play out of their sorry a$$es and beat you.

Dallas will find out once the Saints get up 21 points they won't win like they did against the lambs!
