Hunter Shot Down

2005-07-15T08:57:00.000-05:00

Pete Hunter, no more

On Thursday, Pete Hunter was officially traded to the Jets for a conditional 5th or 6th round draft pick in 2006. Hunter expressed distaste in atempting to be played at Safety and wanted to compete for a CB job, so now he can. With Newman and Henry taking the 1 and 2 spots, and Glenn coming in on nickel, the 4th spot will be between Bruce Thorton, Jaques Reeves, Lance Fraizer and Nate Jones.

Another Safety Bites It

2005-06-19T16:14:00.000-05:00

Tony Dixon, now a dirty Redskin

Tony Dixon is now officially the Boys worst enemy. He signed with the Skins on Saturday. This means that the safety job is now left between Lynn Scott and Izell Reese.

Hi, My Name Is: Marco Rivera

2005-06-16T14:43:00.000-05:00

Marco Rivera was born in Brooklyn, Ny. He has 2 children, ages 3 and 5, and is expecting a 3rd this December. The Marco Rivera Outreach Foundation,' in 2002, benefiting his football camp, San Juan's St. Jorge's Hospital and Green Bay-area charities; the foundation was a 2002 recipient of a $4,000 matching grant from the NFL Youth Football Fund. The foundation also supported the Bay Area Humane Society (Green Bay). Named to his second-consecutive Pro Bowl in 2003, he is the Packers' fourth-longest current string, behind only Brett Favre (191), Ryan Longwell (112) and Rob Davis (103). He will be playing guard this year next to possibly Al Johnson and Center and Torrin Tucker at tackle.

Hi, My Name Is: Jason Fergueson

2005-06-05T21:09:00.000-05:00

Jason Ferguson. He has started only 3 season with all 16 games started. He has never made a Pro Bowl. His career has been pagued by injuries. He also is underrated. Though not the best player, definately worth the time. In college he was named a first team All-SEC pick as a senior by The Football News and started every game at DT and recorded 81 tackles to go along with five tackles for losses as a senior at Georgia. He also led the team with nine sacks, the ninth best in Georgia history at the time of his departure. He will be rotated in the defensive line set=up this year with LaRoi Glover, Marcus Spears, Greg Ellis, and DeMarcus Ware.

Safety Signed, Safety Booted

2005-06-05T20:55:00.000-05:00

Back to the Cowboys, S Izell Reese

The Cowboys signed S Izell Reese on Sunday, the one-time Cowboy. He was with the Boys for the 1st 4 years of his careers, and then went to the Broncos. He is now back in Dallas to give Dallas some veteran help at Safety. The Cowboys also released 5 players, among them was newly signed S Clint Finely. Why did they sign him? Joke possibly...

Hi, My Name is: Anthony Henry

2005-05-25T07:14:00.000-05:00

Anthony Henry. Born on Nov. 3, 1976 in Fort Myers, Fla. Maybe you've never heard of him, and who can blame you? He's played for the Browns his whole career, but that dosen't make him a bad player. In his 2001 rookie year, he had 44 tackles, and 10 interceptions, starting in all 16 games. In 2003, he emerged as the starting left corner opposite Daylon McCutcheon, with 56 tackles and 1 interception. He donates his time to various Cleveland area charitable causes, including the Taste of the NFL to benefit the Cleveland Foodbank, visiting patients at the Cleveland Clinic, Make-A-Wish Foundation, the Special Olympics and building a playground for the United Way. He is expected to start this year at the #2 CB position, opposite Terrence Newman.

Hi, My Name is: Drew Bledsoe

2005-05-18T07:22:00.000-05:00

Ah, Drew Bledsoe. You may remember him from such teams as: The Patriots from 93-2001, and the Bills from 2002-2004. Recognized as one of the most accurate QB's in the league today, Bledsoe was the first Free Agent acquisition by the Cowboys this offseason. Born on Feb 14, 1972 (that's right, the same day as Jim Kelly) in Ellenburg WA.n He wasselected first-team all-state by the Tacoma News Tribune after senior year at Walla Walla High, named to numerous local and regional all-star teams, including the Western 100, Northwest Nugget, Super Prep's Far West Offensive Player of the Year, Long Beach Press Telegram "Best of the West," Seattle Times Blue Chip and Washington State Player of the Year honors. He recieved a $150,000 football scholarship to Washington State, where he set the second-place record for all-time passing in Washigton with 7,373 yards, despite starting only 28 games. He was drafted by the Pats in 1993, and the rest is history. He founded the Drew Bledsoe Foundation, whose mission is to improve the lives of American children by teaching parenting skills to parents in 1999. He also has his own children's book published entitled "Make the Right Call".

Saftey's and Duke basketball??

2005-05-12T07:15:00.000-05:00

Cory Hall, who is going to visit.

Dallas needs help at the FS position. Duh. They want to keep Roy W. where he is comfortable (striking fear into the hearts of everyone that comes within a 10 foot radius) so they can be a more effective unit. They seek to help this by visiting with former Falcons S Cory Hall. He started 13 of the 14 games he played in 2004, but had just 1 int. and 60 tackles. If he is not signed, look for some combo of Lynn Scott, Keith Davis, and Justin Beriault on running downs.

In other news, the Cowboys must have figured "we signed Baseball players (Henson, Quincy carter) so why not basketball players?" The Cownboys signed former Duke basketball player and WR Reggie Love. I, being from Maryland, hate Duke with the passion of 1,000 fiery STD's, but I have no say in the hiring. If I did, we would have Peter Boulware right now. But anyway, the plan is to move him to LB, but don't worry, it is said he will make the practive sqaud at best.

BULLITEN

Look for the start of what I like to call "Hello, my name is..." in the next week or so. I'll go over the 'Boys FA signing, as well as draft picks. see ya then.

Re-Shard Re-leased

2005-05-05T07:13:00.000-05:00

ReShard Lee, no longer a Cowboy

ReShard Lee, the Cowboy's RB who returned kicks and filled in for the injured Erik Bickerstaff last year, was released to make room in the backfield. It is speculated that Woody Danztler (S) and Marion Barber, the rookie RB will return kicks and punts this year. Also, Happy Cinco De Mayo.

A-Train has Arrived

2005-05-03T07:22:00.000-05:00

Anthony Thomas, now a Cowboy. Who's next?

The Cowboys have just recently signed Anthony Thomas, the former Bears running back who has been over-shadowed by the signing of Thomas Jones last year. Thomas was named the 2001 Offensive Rookie of the Year, in which he rushed for over 1,100 yrds. and scored 7 TD's. This will certainly add a lot of depth and rotation to the Cowboys backfield, now with Julius Jones, A-Train, Marion Barber, Erik Bickerstaff, and ReShard Lee. The only question is, who will the Boys scoop up next?

Pete, Center, Tackle, and Ware Oh My!

2005-04-30T01:45:00.000-05:00

DeMarcus Ware, the Cowboy's #1 draft pick.

Full practice started Friday, and sure enough, there was our boy Ware lined up as an outside linebacker, indeed in a 3-4 defense. Parcells' says he views Ware as an "interchangable player", even lining him up on the slot reciever at times. Let's not forget Spears, who checked in a beastly 307 lbs., but Parcells said he wants him down to 295 by week 1.

Pete Hunter, who is definately staying with the Boys, will NOT be permanantly moved to safety, but in the mix in a nickel defense, as well and Jaque Reeves (?) in the safety position.

Who will RT this year? Rob Petitti? Probably not. Jurt Vollers? Maybe; he started 3 games last year. Torrin Tucker? probably, who started 13 games last year

Who will be the center? Since the signing of Marc Riviera, Andre Gurode has been without a job, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Bill is moving him back to center, which he played in college, but he has to fight of veteran Al Johnson for the spot.

One more, One Less

2005-04-28T07:17:00.000-05:00

Well, that didn't take long. 24 hours after being cut by the Texans, CB Aaron Glenn signed a 2-year deal with the Cowboys. He is expected to start behind Terrence Newman and Anthony Henry. One another note, the Cowboys said that Richien Anderson will not return next year. He had anterior cervical surgerey this off-season and is "not going to play" with the 'Boys this year, although he has not said he was going to retire.

CB's a Pletny

2005-04-27T06:26:00.000-05:00

Aaron Glenn, the ex-Texan, possibly a Cowboy soon.

Dallas just re-signed Pete Hunter, and their on the move again. Less than 24 hours after being released from the Texans, Aaron Glenn is taling with the 'Boys. In addition to him and Hunter, they join Terrence Newman, Anthony Henry and about 4-5 returners from last year. It's anyone's guess whi will start this year, so stay tuned, I'll tell you as soo as I know.

McMahon, Pete

Dallas Pick: With FS Justin Beriault and OT Rob Petitti, Dallas actually got away from the D lineman. I'm not quite sure why we are backing Roy Williams instead of the SS, but maybe a transistion is in the works. Also, Flozell and Larry Allen don't have much left, so an OT was a good pick.

Grade: B

ROUND 7

New England, pick 255 (Compensatory Selection)
Stokes, Andy
TE, William Penn

Dallas Pick: Why? I know we need DE's, but 4? Why not take a WR? Keyshawn and Glenn are getting on in years and Morgan isn't exactly young. A DE was not the way to go when we already had 3 others

Grade: F

WHEW! That was it. Back to regualr programming.

Giordano, Matt
FS, California

Tennessee, pick 136 (Compensatory Selection)
Williams, Roydell
WR, Tulane

Here comes the 2nd string. 5 WR and 5 RB were choses in this rd.

Best Move: Pittsburgh. They finally took a reciever to possibly fill the 3rd slot on offense after the absence of Plexico. We'll have to see if Fred Gibson actually gerts playing time, or if they bring someone else up out of the practice squad.

Worst Move: There were actually no bad moves this round, as most of these picks won't even start.

Dallas Pick: Dallas made a good move in getting Marion Barber. Parcells likes a lot of RB's and this guy may turn out to be JJ's number one backup. On the other hand, I don't agree with another DE, when they could have gotton a CB, or possibly a WR.
Rating: B-

Terry, Adam
OT, Syracuse

All over the place in rd 2, with 7 CB and 3 FS, making a total of 10 D-backs

Best Move: Baltimore taking Dan Cody. I, personally, was shocked that he went this late. I was expecting him to go in the 1st rd., but what do I know?

Worst Move: Awarded to 2 teams, first of all the Jets for taking a damn KICKER with the 47th pick, which you traded for. A kicker should never be taken before the 3rd rd., so they suck. And of course, the Browns prove that they are just as dumb again, taking a FS when they still have NO QB's. Way to go morons.

Dallas pick: They have definatley shown that they are going to a 3-4 with this selection. It looks like it could be Al Singleton, Dat Ngyuen, DeMarcus Ware, and Kevin Burnett in as LB's while Marcus Spears, La' Roi Glover, Jason Ferguson, and Greg Ellis swap on the line.

Pick Grade: B+

Clarett, Maurice

Here come the big men, 10 lineman chosen in this round, and Maurice Clarett is finally picked. Bout time, I was getting tired of his crying.

Best Move: This also is the dual purpose once awarded It's About Damn Time Award, and it goes to the Browns for finally picking a QB. I was about to lose what little hope I had in that team.

Worst Move: Denver. Why o why would your forfeit a pick? It helps you in no way!! This even beat out KC taking a punter! If all else fails, just close your eyes and pick the first person your finger lands on, also known as the Bronws style.

Dallas pick: Dallas had no choice this round.

WOW! And thats the end of round 1. 3 RB taken in the first 5 picks? Strong year for the ground game. Watch out for the Lion's passing game bext year.

Best Move: This only applies if it actually works, but I give this to the Lions for Rd. 1. With Charles Rodgers, Roy Williams, and now Mike Williams, Harrington has no excuses, even if he does suck.

Worst Move: Definatley to the Browns. At their pick, Aaron Rodgers was still available, as was Jason Campbell. They have zero, that's right, count 'em, zero QB's on their roster, releasing Holcombe and Garcia. And they take a WR?? What's the point of a WR if there is no one to thrown them the ball? What the hell is going on over there?

Cowboy's pick: Excellent pick by Dallas. They might move to a 3-4 now, with the hybrid addition of DeMarcus Ware, or if they do stay 4-3, it's still and excellent choice
Grade: A+

Draft Coverage!! Woot!

2005-04-23T09:34:00.000-05:00

I think I have actually decieded to do full draft coverage becasue:

1. I'm stuck at my mom's house with notyhing to do and
2. I'm a loser

So, check back here Sunday morning for the first draft day coverage (No, I'm noy so much a loser as to provide live coverage). In addition to listing all picks for all teams, I will also list (in my opinion) The Best Move and The Worst Move award per round, as well as discuss the Cowboy's pick that round and rate it on how smart a move they made. Confusing? Check back here tomorrow and find out.

Cundiff, Barnes sign, draft prospects

2005-04-21T14:26:00.000-05:00

This past week, Dallas actually did something that would help them. While this is a totally new thing for them, they seem to be getting the hang of it, signing FB Darian Barnes and K Billy Cundiff to 1-year deals. Barnes proved to be a decent choice last year, with his spastic running style and Cundiff also proved he a good lock.

Further moving on with the cowboys season, the draft is this Friday (don't expect any news till at least next Monday). The two main targets are possibly going to be Shawne Merriman from Maryland (REPRESENT!) and Demarcus Ware from Troy. Both are a strange combo of DE and LB, which is what the Cowboys are looking for. Other draft canidates include WR Marcus Clayton, and LB Eurasmus James. We'll just wait and see.

Me? With a Blog?

Since I have decided I have way too much time on my hands, welcome to the first edition of Cowboy Beeboop. I figured that Cowboy Bebop was taken and didn't want to be sued by the entire country of Japan, so I said "Let's change it". After suggested names such as "penis" and "Dayne's and Jeff's Jungle Safari", I decided on this one. This is your one stop place for news on the NFL team, the Dallas Cowboys. While I know I will recieve little, if any, hits, I decide to do it anyway. Expect updates every 1-2 weeks in the off-season and every week during the season. Game recaps, player spotlights, game report cards, and everything related will be the content, so follow along on this little journey and see where it leads.
