    I read his post before it was deleted.  A totally classless post.  One thing about Surly is that no matter how irreverent we can be at times, this event has brought out the humanity and emotional side of many of us.  It has definitely put into perspective the value of life and the love that we have and share for those near to us as well as an extended Longhorn family.

    It’s laughable that we have the same odds as the Titans, a team that has 3 playoff wins in the last 2 years. 

    The cowboys are always about the worst odds to take. Vegas knows they don't have to dangle good or great odds to get the hordes of idiot cowboy fan money to flood in.

    They're certainly addressing the biggest weakness. Will they pan out, who knows. The single thing holding back this team since Romo's ascension is the Joneses. 

    They've had 15 straight years of top 10 level franchise QB play and have 3 wild card game wins. With a top 10 QB being an average team is the absolute floor. And they've managed to stay at the floor

  4. If these players don't pan out maybe they should just give up drafting defense. They're as bad at it as Jon Daniels is drafting pitch... Well, anyone. 

    Just restock offense every draft and spend almost all non Dak free agent money on defense. It'll never work but at least they could act like they know how to draft when they're finding good TEs and OL in the 2nd/3rd round

    I don’t mind taking a corner. I don’t mind taking multiple defensive backs. It’s a need. But not over DL, and not over OL. If you think I’m living in the past, you’re nuts. Get to the QB and stop the run will always be more important than having good coverage corners. 

    The majority of the league has gone to quick routes with far fewer long developing routes. Your interior DTs and ends need quality corners to give them that extra second to get to the quarterback. It's why there isn't a top 5 defense in the league that has a bad or even average defensive backfield. Of course the cowboys have bad defense at every level due to their terrible evaluations on defense so really they just need to hit on somebody at this point.

    If Barmore is there at the first 2nd round pick, do you take him?

    They're so terrible in the interior of the line it would make sense to get a DT there if there's one there that projects to be better than Gallimore/Hill/Woods. If there isn't an instant starter upgrade there then it's better to use it on the biggest weakness in defensive personnel IMO

    I don’t want to call our fan base dumb because too many posters I respect have this opinion. But you, Wanker Bob, are a moron. You build from the inside out. Lineman are much more important than corners. 

    You're living in 1983, man. In the modern game wherer everyone slings it corner is one of the premier importance positions along with rush end, OT, and QB. 

    Then taking into account the cowboys have a giant hole at the corner spot opposite Diggs, and the draft is deeper in lineman for the next two rounds, it's obvious if there's a high second round grade corner available you jump up to take him

    I'd say go OL in round 2 and go CB/S in round 3.

    OL is thought to be deeper in the draft in rounds 2-3 than corner. Especially a corner you're going to need to start week 1 or very close to it. It's such a pressing need they really need to trade up to 33/34 to make sure they get the best guy left for them. It wouldn't be such an issue if they had 1) given Jaylon Smith/Zeke money to Byron Jones or 2) addressed this is free agency last month, or 3) not been so damn shitty in evaluation when they tried to address this in 2017 with Chidobe in the 2nd and Lewis in the 3rd and got two busts. 

    With how terribly McClay/Stephen/Jerry evaluate defense they need to get it now to have the best shot.

    Yeah I'm less drunk and less pissed than last night. He's an athletic freak. Hopefully he can put it all together.

    Didn't he switch positions or something at Penn St? Heard something about only playing LB for two years.

    I read a few different scouting reports compare him to ND version of Jaylon Smith pre injury. Athletic freak who gets sideline to sideline and rushes the passer/makes plays in the backfield at a high level, but unfortunately like Jaylon Smith he's got issues with reading his cues and not guessing. More than one team had him chasing ghosts and his own shadow in a couple of games. That's where the coaching us going to have to come through, because if you waste 2 1st rounders and the 4th in the second round on LB in a 5 year period and still suck there that's indefensible.

    LT Sam Cosmi out of University of Texas!

    Too much deja vu for Jerry. 

    They really need a corner with this next pick. Otherwise they're going to be starting Jordan Lewis out wide.  If there's a guy there worth jumping up for they should package their 2nd and either the pick from the Eagles or their 3rd round comp pick and move up to the front of this round.

    LVE was an all-pro as a rookie. he was a great draft pick. the whole spinal stenosis thing is just bad luck.

    smith was a reach. 

    Except many smart teams saw his medical eval pre draft and removed him from their boards. Same as Sean Lee. Same as Jaylon Smith. Same as Gregory (for non medical reasons).

    Cowboys keep making be the same mistake over and over on defensive 1st/2nd round picks. That wasn't unlucky it was stupid

    i submit...Johnny Depp. he excels at over-the-top caricature/cartoonish and period pieces...but i can't really recall any other dramatic roles...Donnie Brasco i guess, but he was pretty dull next to Pacino and Madsen. i don't do chick-flicks tho, i guess he also has a bunch of those, he is pretty to look at. i suppose he has a niche that i just don't 'get'.

    Anyone who can nail Hunter S Thompson like that while also pulling off Sleepy Hollow/From Hell/Nick of Time/Cry Baby/Gilbert Grape isn't a bad actor.

    I've seen enough of them to know that he's a one trick pony.  Deer Hunter, a sociopathic Vietnam Vet, Midnight Run, a sociopathic bounty hunter, Ronin, a sociopathic mercenary.  Maybe I exaggerated by saying that he always plays a sociopathic, Italian-American mobster, but his characters are always sociopathic, if not full-on psycho, threatening and/or violent; maybe not always Italian-American, maybe not always a mobster, but the character is the same.  He seems very limited.  He is great at what he does, though, which only makes sense, since he's been doing it for almost 50 years now.

    He's done comedy a lot more than you think. There was absolutely nothing threatening about him in Bad Grandpa. He was basically the lone bright spot in the badly directed movie "The Gang that Couldn't Shoot Straight". Wasn't threatening at all in The Joker where he played great opposite Phoenix's psychopath. 

    Backdraft, Joy, The Intern, as Monroe Stahr in The Last Tycoon, Marvin's Room, and so on. Did you not see any of these?

    He also brought depth and quality to non mobster "villain roles" such as the abusive step father in This Boy's Life and the racist diving instructor in Men of Honor. 

    Even in Flawless he and Hoffman gave A level performances to difficult roles to pull off. Ebert's review concluded with this:

    "De Niro is a great technical actor who may have been attracted to this material because of the chance to play a stroke victim. His performance not only gets Walt's symptoms right, but also shows sympathy for the man inside. Hoffman, who played the pathetic man who made dirty phone calls in "Happiness," shows he's one of the best new character actors, able to take a flamboyant role and find the quiet details in it. Too bad they're stuck in a jumbled plot, but as an odd couple, they work."

    If you think he's a one trick pony it's because you've only been interested in watching the movies he does that trick.

    I've wanted to be all wrong for YEARS now.  I desperately want to be wrong about all this shit.

    I'm sick of being more right than wrong about this shit.  But the vast majority of Americans insist that we're super awesome, and any criticism or suggestion of change must be resisted with all possible might, because that's hatin' on 'murica, and why are you a socialist corporate communist?  We're committing suicide, and we're fucking PROUD of it.

    So, fuck it....hook me up with more of them green tips.
