Around SBN: Drug Testing, Alistair Overeem & UFC 146's Potential Legacy

OFFFFFF TOPICCCCCCCCC Cowboys DC search




Well Pasqolini is gone, took a college HC job.

From what I see on blogging the boys, the Cowboys are even interviewing Rob Ryan. Along with previous targets Manusky,  and Fangio. Who apparently are both hired by other teams. Steelers secondary coach Ray Horton is another target.

Anyways, a Ryan in Dallas would be quite the circus.

Looks like Garrett is doing the interviewing, so it's a good test to see if Garrett can pick a good assistant.

It's good to see Jerry once again saving the cowboys by addressing the DC position though. Combined with a soft schedule I'm very high on the Cowboys for next year, granted Garret is not a great OC. He is a decent to good one though. I dunno if he's super bowl caliber, but he's 11-5 caliber. And you can always get lucky in the playoffs.

Also interesting fodder about how the Rangers and Texans remain totally irrelevant while Jerry has the Cowboys a bigger draw than ever: http://www.bloggingtheboys.com/2011/1/14/1934753/2010-nfl-season-is-most-viewed-ever-cowboys-remain-biggest-draw

The NFL has, of course, traditionally done well on TV, but this year's success is truly unprecedented: for the first time, an NFL game was the most-watched show among all programs in each of the season’s 17 weeks. Five years ago, not a single game made it into the Top 15.

And the most watched team among the top 19 games? The Cowboys of course, despite or perhaps even because of their dismal 6-10 record. The top rated game? The Cowboys' Thanksgiving game against the Saints.

Also, thought this was funny given the media's bias towards the politically correct AFC, and jives with my personal preferences. Most times I'm much more interested in an NFC game (not always though, Balt-Pitt is the game of the playoffs).

At least one NFC East team played in 11 of the top 19 games, as did the NFC North. Only one game out of the 19 did not feature either a team from the NFC East or a team from the NFC North, and that was the 14th-ranked Jets v. Steelers game.

Well anyway, I'm guessing the Cowboys move quick on a DC. Poor Cahill, first the Texans proved me right by hiring a DC, now the Cowboys will be much better (probably) by bringing in a DC. A double whammy.

This posting software is just horrible. I blame George Soros. Or Fox News. It must be Fox News fault. Like global warming.

If not him, i did see that they might be interviewing the Steelers DB coach…i’m intrigued.

Tyron Smith...
I have Smith a 7.5 on a 9.0 point scale and 7.5 reads, “becomes a starter during his rookie year, a prospect who possesses physical attributes that will create mis-matches versus most opponents, a featured player on a team.” That’s what I think Smith will end up being.
I think I gave Derek Sherrod a 7.0. I gave Nate Solder a 6.6. I’m not sure but if Smith isn’t number one, he’s numbetr two. I think he’s the top O-lineman, however.

i know you’re just trolling but really, could facts matter less to liberals?

economics, well, we know one system is proven to work best, but hey never mind that

global warming, obviously fake, completely raped on the facts, but never mind. for example, even if it is true nothing the usa does even matters. let alone the small steps we would actually do,

health care, well it’s very obvious the massive expense here in the new bill they lied about, but never mind.

and pretty much every other area of liberalism is just completely dedicated to ignoring all objective facts.

but lets not start politics.

If criteria for being a "liberal whackjob"

is being able to objectively read and discuss literature on the subject of “Global Warming,” I have no qualms about being called such. However, if you haven’t read literature on the subject, I reserve the right to call you out your ignorance. If you want to make personal attacks on me that’s cool too, instead of discussing the facts.

He's too smart for any of us...

because he wants to be informed about something rather than just saying stupid shit like ‘liberal whackjobs’ are the only ones who believe in global warming?

I love it when people who are too lazy, or too stupid, to learn about something play the “well you just think you’re smarter than everyone, don’t you” card.

Whether you do or don’t believe in global warming is fine, I suppose, as long as you can back up your thoughts with intelligent discussion. And your reply, or calling someone a liberal whackjob for believing in it, is far from intelligent.

His Raiders defenses were always ranked high.

He’s never even had any real talent to work with as a DC. I think he comes here and lights a fire under this defense and puts it back near the top.

Of course...the dream DC would be Dom Capers

You have Winston Moss, who is coaching under Capers in GB right now, would certainly be able to make a vertical move to DC. It would be near impossible to let Capers go, but if GB is faced with losing either Capers or Moss, I bet they let Capers walk.

I like Ryan as DC....

To those pointing at Cleveland below average defense…..take a look at Dom Capers. He is considered one of the top DC right now because of the talent he has to work with in GB. When he was with the Dolphins as DC….not talent led to a bad defense….same with the Texans (he was head coach though).

This will be by far the best talent that Ryan will have had the chance to work with…..but even the best DC cannot make Alan Ball into Troy Polamalu
