He actually has beack surgery after injuring himself in a workout back in..I want to say May.

The surgery went very well and he participated in camp

Then the groin injury

Now...he's ready to go

Well, I hope is all healed up by the time he meets up with C.Griff + Salava'e.

I tell you what..

If you guys had one premier pass rushing DE to complement Arrington's pass rush abilities @ LB, your D would truly be scary

Gregg Williams has always done more with less

12thMan · 09-04-2005, 11:00 PM

Well, honestly, I take exception to that because if you ask me our D is already scary. Would a premier rusher make it better, sure.

As far as Williams he is quite the genious, but make no mistake while most of the league may consider some of our guys on defense "no-names", I think we have 4 or 5 legitimate pro-bowlers.

Big C · 09-05-2005, 12:31 AM

lol wow. this guy is nowhere near as good as MW. all he is is an average linebacker. its not like they traded for a pro bowler or something

skins009 · 09-05-2005, 12:56 AM

Fujita is just as good as m. washington, wow you got to get me some of that stuff your smoking.

Big C · 09-05-2005, 11:31 AM

i wouldnt say that rivera is at the peak of his career at 33. also, just because ted washington has played till his age doesnt mean fergueson has "at least" 4 years left in him. many other factors will come into play here, especially injuries in their advancing age.

D'BOYZ · 09-05-2005, 11:56 AM

Big C if you're going to "quote" me try to do it with something I acctually said. Because if you read the post it doesn't say that "ferguson has at least 4 years left to him" I said that about Peerles Price and also said about price is that they only sign him for 1 year to see if he still has it and don't sign him for a high signing bonus he needs to prove he can replace Terry Glen or KJ next year to resign.

What I said about ferguson is that he sign a 5 year deal and that "IF" him and rivera can play at top of their game for "3" years they are worth the SB.

Kevikazi · 09-05-2005, 11:56 AM

Dallas' front 7 never played 3-4 before. I doubt they "jelled" as a unit after 1 pre-season. Adding another average LB who never played 3-4 scheme isn't much of an upgrade IMO.

uhohjimoh · 09-05-2005, 06:02 PM

ok fujita is an ok linebacker, but no where near MW..
who id be worried about this year or the next couple is demarcus ware....scary...

TheMalcolmConnection · 09-05-2005, 06:08 PM

Basically, to put all this talk to rest, our D will be up the challenge of Dallas this year. Whoever wins this game will win the battle of turnovers and I'm sorry to say, I think Ramsey would put up more turnovers than Bledsoe (I pray otherwise though). We might sack Bledsoe 12351230 times, but it just always seems that we don't get the fumble we need. Our D will come to play and most likely stymie Dallas for a field goal or two. I think the clincher for either side will be who wins the field position game. Dallas has a defense that is full of potential, but that's all it is so far. I think we SHOULD be able to eek this one out provided Dallas's defense hasn't come together at that point in the season. If Ramsey can hold onto the ball and let Portis be the reason we win or lose (because the offensive line is where it's all at right?) I think we'll take this game against Dallas in a low scoring affair, maybe 10-6. If Ramsey plays like I pray he doesn't I could see that score easily being flipflopped.

There won't be any blowouts that night (even though I'd LOVE to see one).

I can't believe people are comparing Fujita (a guy traded for a late second day pick) to Washington (a Pro Bowler).

I can't believe this has turned into a 5 page thread

Is it just me or has there been too much Cowboys talk on this board lately? Can we put a moratorium on the Boyz until Dallas Week?
