Raise your hand if you rolled your eyes when the Cowboys slapped the franchise tag on Anthony Spencer. After reading comments and a few articles on this move, it looks like Cowboy Nation is 50/50 with it, maybe less. Let’s be frank about this, why would we franchise an average player who had one good season (contract year) and has admittedly taken plays off in previous seasons

Well, Jason Garrett’s press conference just finished and he didn’t want to entertain questions about the coordinators, and pretty much defended Rob Ryan. Listening to Garrett just further confirms my fears for 2013, in which, Rob Ryan will be back for the 2013 season. Furthermore, the 3-4 will remain as the base defense, and he will be the one calling the plays –

If you need more assurances that Jason Garrett will be back in 2013, we just got the clincher tonight as Jay Glazer reported that the Saints and Sean Payton have agreed in principle to a 5yr extension. Garrett will be back in 2013 even with a loss to the Redskins. I’m hoping the Cowboys will be able to defeat the Redskins and make a playoff run; however, if we lose, there

The Cowboys were able to defeat a bad 1-4 Carolina Panthers team, but barely and now the Cowboys get back to a very mediocre 3-3 record for the year. After six games, the Cowboys have an identity, which is a conservative and penalty making thirsty team. We are still a bad team, and you can definitely expect more of the same type of games. The Cowboys have absolutely proven the penalty

The Ravens just got the terrible news that Terrell Suggs will be out for the year, and they are in a panic mode. I’ve actually been told they are coming up with some contingency plans and one of them could be a call to Dallas on Anthony Spencer’s availability via a trade. First, the Cowboys would need to consider the trade and likely make a new contract for Spencer to

With the draft in the bag, there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel, and the roster has turned a corner for the best. Coach Garrett has methodically jettisoned players that do not fit his philosophy, and is plugging-in his type of players. Drafting Morris Claiborne was a major statement pick, and set everyone on the team on notice, the Cowboys have no problems upgrading

In the 4th round the Cowboys drag Wake Forest LB, Kyle Wilber 6’4” 250lbs. This pick screams Spencer’s replacement. Depth at OLB was a draft need, and now its been addressed. So, far the Cowboys have methodically been all defense in this draft, and I doubt we’re done! The Cowboys have another 4th round pick (compensatory) that will close out the 4th round. Share

Former first round bust Anthony Spencer just signed his Franchise Tag offer of $8.8 million according to Nick Eatman’s twitter post Anthony Spencer officially signed his franchise tag tender of $8.8 million (@nickeatman) Share

Be prepared to chalk up another bone-head offseason move when the Cowboys franchise tag OLB Anthony Spencer, a player who has been a complete bust. Its been mind boggling seeing so many writers blessing bringing back Spencer, you have to be freakin sh**ing me!! I’ve seen the dumb justifications stat wise compared to other players, but that doesn’t make it right. In crunch

The season came full circle with another disappointing loss to end the Cowboys 2011 campaign. It was Garrett’s first complete year, and 8-8 is the result. Most writers had pegged the Cowboys to finish between 9-7 and 8-8, since it was seen more of a rebuilding year in transition, looks like the pre-season consensus was correct. So, all Cowboys fan’s are still enraged

There’s alot of swagger building on the defensive side of the ball, and to me, the game will be won on defense. Which team will have more success on defense? Rob Ryan has his unit playing lights out, and with alot of confidence; moreover, this is being done with several backups in the secondary. Its clear the players have fully bought into what Coach Garrett is building in

The Cowboys let the Broncos hang around and win the game, and Wade Phillips’ seat should be warming up. Despite being 2-2, the Cowboys are really playing some very mediocre ball on both sides of the ball. We’re on track for a dreadful 8-8 season if this team doesn’t make some changes. Its the same story different week, shoddy tackling, penalties, poor play calling,
