Micheal Sam?
 
With Foster on IR do y'all think we should pick him up? He looked pretty darn good to me in the PS game against us.

Your kidding right

No, he did well in the preseason game against us. Looked like a very solid pass rusher.

Wrong fit
He is a 4-3 DE from what I have seen. Dont think he would fit

Thought he was playing LB, Foster is D-Line... Square peg in a round hole

Richie Incognito is the media distraction trainwreck that we really could use on this team, LOL.

What a disaster that would be on this team right now.

Re: Micheal Sam?
 
I think the idea is to improve on defense. He doesn't do that for us.

He's worth a tryout. Then again, any player who can help this team is worth a tryout.

Gallette or Sam?

There's not much out there. He can rush the passer as a down lineman (it's what he did in the Rams game). I think Sam could fill in for Foster. I haven't seen any form of media distraction regarding Sam since the day he joined the Cowboys.

Re: Micheal Sam?
 
Pass rusher are pure gold in the NFL and this guy got cut from a practice squad?

I'm 100% positive that Will Frigging Smith is probably a better pass rusher than this media creation.

Foster: 6'4" 285
Sam: 6'2" 260-ish

Sam gives up 20-30 pounds and 2 inches. Funny thing, too...Foster ran a faster 40 than Sam. Sam ain't big enough to play DE in the 3-4 and too slow to play OLB in the 3-4.

There's a reason he got cut by STL & DAL before November even showed up.

No thanks. Pass.

Yeah, Foster is a 3-4 DE or a 4-3 DT who is not even close to being a competent outside pass rusher at the NFL level

Sam is an 3-4 OLB or a 4-3 DE, also not even close to being a competent outside pass rusher at the NFL level :p

You beat me to it. Whats it cost to take a look? We need to be taking a LOT of looks. That's plural. More than one.

Heck, they should take a look at ME too! I'm not kidding.

I'm pretty sure our front office is taking a lot of looks.

I'm disappointed that I haven't heard rumors about you though.:p

Oh there are plenty of those. You're just not hanging with the right people.

Like my daughter would've said, I see whatcha did there...

Re: Micheal Sam?
 
Have you people watched the combine? Even after that disaster he got a chance (Fisher was forced to make that pick) and could't make the team. twice

No thanks.

nola_swammi 10-21-2014 07:26 PM

Re: Micheal Sam?
 
Maybe if we put him on our practice squad our defense will step it up like Dallas, curious how Dallas defense gonna respond now that threat of him being in the line up has now dissipate

|Mitch| 10-22-2014 12:01 AM

Re: Micheal Sam?
 
The Cowboys waived him, wouldn't be hard to at least give him a try-out... I wonder if he has the speed to play LB?! :confused:

why not? carbon copy of Jr.

The Dude 10-22-2014 09:52 PM

Re: Micheal Sam?
 
If he can play then hell yea, I think he would have been picked up by now if he could though.

billyt81 10-23-2014 06:10 AM

Re: Micheal Sam?
 
I think(not sure of this) he ran a poor combine 40. He's slow. We need more speed on defense. I do admit he looked like he belonged when he played against us.

The way we have to chase people down from behind, you better believe it.

Re: Micheal Sam?
 
Don't care about combine numbers. I just care if a guy is around the football and can make plays. That he can do. Worth a try out at least. Doesn't really cost much to kick the tires. Also, let's not act like our D-line is full of elite defensive talent. If it is, it sure hasn't been on display most of the year.

Euphoria 10-23-2014 03:03 PM

Re: Micheal Sam?
 
Pass - I don't need to see more video of him crying on CNN and all the media outlets because another team gave him a chance. I don't see him making a difference.
