OT: Cowboys video board

It’s to NFL specs, so, why is it such a touchy issue with everyone in the media and for other teams?

Isn’t this like the flag pole in Houston, or the catwalk in Tampa, or the Ivy in Wrigley? Can’t this be a ‘home field’ advantage for us? Other NFL stadiums have weird little quirks, look at Denver and Pitt with the kicking game…i dont see why rules should be changed for this..

My only thought is...

…the Cowboys pretty clearly have the best punter in the league. If I’m Jerry, I ask him what he wants to do, especially considering he figures to hold the position for the next few years.

mat said it doesn't bother him at all

so, that’s why it’s a clever little home field advantage for us…well, i think it would be.

If it doesn't bother him...

…then I don’t see a problem. But McBriar is definitely a weapon for the Cowboys; they need to do whatever he needs to be as effective as possible.

yea, McBriar has skills, he doesnt have to just punt the ball really high to do a good job

if you saw him in the game he was using that as he was lining the ball more and getting his little top spin roll ball working… The guy is a very versatile punter

Unlike in baseball...

…in the NFL, all fields are supposed to be the same regulation size.

Tropicana Field is seen as a joke because of balls hitting the catwalk. JerryWorld isn’t intended to be a joke.

by Adam J. Morris on Aug 24, 2009 11:17 AM CDT up reply actions  

it was built under NFL specs.

The specs are the joke then.

Not sure if you can tell someone to build something within these specs, let them spend, oh, 1.2Bill, and then say, no, you gotta change it now…

I know, I know

It is just Jerry being hassled by The Man.

by Adam J. Morris on Aug 24, 2009 11:28 AM CDT up reply actions  

Well

You do want the rules to be changed specifically for Jerry…

usa

by Longhorn on Aug 24, 2009 11:32 AM CDT up reply actions  

I dunno

but I will say this. I was at the game and almost EVERY punt came close to hitting that thing, even the ones with emphasis on distance rather than height. This is the first time that I can think of the NFL ever having to deal with a stadium issue that can consistently disrupt the play on the field.

by eric03tx on Aug 24, 2009 11:34 AM CDT up reply actions  

yeah

well, im not disputing that. if it’s bad specs, it’s bad specs and the NFL should be taking full responsibility here.

usa

by Longhorn on Aug 24, 2009 11:38 AM CDT up reply actions  

True

If they said it only had to be 100 feet high or whatever, and it is, its on them. I think some fault is to lie with the builders and Jerry as well though. If they were questioning it, better be safe than sorry and raise it a bit more.

by eric03tx on Aug 24, 2009 1:05 PM CDT up reply actions  

Toured the stadium yesterday

They’re installing three motors which will raise and lower the scoreboard. Which means, I think, that it’s their intention to raise and lower the scoreboard as needed, in-game. Per the tour guide (fwiw), the NFL is paying for the upgrade.

by BrentTaylor21 on Aug 24, 2009 11:51 AM CDT up reply actions  

On your tour

did you get to see the locker rooms and all that? I’m considering taking one of those, but I have tix to the Giants game so I’m not sure it’s worth it really.

The tours costs $15

And yes, you get to see the locker rooms, pretty much everything. You usually get to go on the field but we couldn’t yesterday due to the installation of the aforementioned motors. It was worth it to me.

Cool thanx

I was supposed to go on Sat but I got tied up. I will check it out…thanx for the info.

I’m going to Saturday’s game against the 49ers in Upper Reserved, but I wouldn’t mind paying $15 for a tour.

Josey Wales

Just started listening to the podcast.

The early giddyness of AJM & Jamey is obvious.

"Ranger players, especially veterans, weren’t surprised that Daniels couldn’t find a deal"

I was just about to touch on that.

Any thoughts on that Adam? I’m pretty sure you have the support of the listeners..all 12 of them

This biggest issue

Is scheduling. We’ve talked about doing the show more often before, but committing the time is the biggest road block.

Maybe during the pennant race we can squeeze in a few extra. I’ll have to talk with the boys about that.

I laughed at...

Jamey’s comment that the offense needed to step it up because we can’t keep depending on the pitchers to keep us in the game every night Who’d a thunk a comment like that would ring so true about a Rangers team…

by rodinuk on Aug 24, 2009 12:43 PM CDT reply actions  

nobody on the podcast

gave any props to the Byrd-man. He’s been player of the week imo.

by jcAustin on Aug 24, 2009 2:32 PM CDT reply actions  

Considering how inept MY was

during the first 3 months of the season at hitting with RISP, I don’t understand all the hype he’s getting now for an outstanding July and August. At best it just sorta evens things out, IMO. MVP my azzzzzzzzz.

by shroomer on Aug 24, 2009 3:34 PM CDT reply actions  

Loved it...

at the end of the podcast when Ted was asking about the Rangers MVP the last two weeks and Jamey told Ted to ask AJM first, and it has to be an offensive player.

Nice to see you finally give in and give MY some love AJM. Although you couldn’t do it without taking a few shots at his defense. Baby steps.

So Rudy is not a big fan of Nelson Cruz

Who was the impetus for Cruz opening up his stance? Did Rudy have any say in his changes? What about Chris Davis’ changes? I foresee a lively debate shortly after the season ends on one Rudy Jaramillo.

IIRC, Cruz first opened his stance after a midseason trip to AAA in 2007
