Pete Hunter, no more

On Thursday, Pete Hunter was officially traded to the Jets for a conditional 5th or 6th round draft pick in 2006. Hunter expressed distaste in atempting to be played at Safety and wanted to compete for a CB job, so now he can. With Newman and Henry taking the 1 and 2 spots, and Glenn coming in on nickel, the 4th spot will be between Bruce Thorton, Jaques Reeves, Lance Fraizer and Nate Jones.

Another Safety Bites It

Tony Dixon, now a dirty Redskin

Tony Dixon is now officially the Boys worst enemy. He signed with the Skins on Saturday. This means that the safety job is now left between Lynn Scott and Izell Reese.

Hi, My Name Is: Marco Rivera

2005-06-16T14:43:00.000-05:00

Marco Rivera was born in Brooklyn, Ny. He has 2 children, ages 3 and 5, and is expecting a 3rd this December. The Marco Rivera Outreach Foundation,' in 2002, benefiting his football camp, San Juan's St. Jorge's Hospital and Green Bay-area charities; the foundation was a 2002 recipient of a $4,000 matching grant from the NFL Youth Football Fund. The foundation also supported the Bay Area Humane Society (Green Bay). Named to his second-consecutive Pro Bowl in 2003, he is the Packers' fourth-longest current string, behind only Brett Favre (191), Ryan Longwell (112) and Rob Davis (103). He will be playing guard this year next to possibly Al Johnson and Center and Torrin Tucker at tackle.

Hi, My Name Is: Jason Fergueson

2005-06-05T21:09:00.000-05:00

Jason Ferguson. He has started only 3 season with all 16 games started. He has never made a Pro Bowl. His career has been pagued by injuries. He also is underrated. Though not the best player, definately worth the time. In college he was named a first team All-SEC pick as a senior by The Football News and started every game at DT and recorded 81 tackles to go along with five tackles for losses as a senior at Georgia. He also led the team with nine sacks, the ninth best in Georgia history at the time of his departure. He will be rotated in the defensive line set=up this year with LaRoi Glover, Marcus Spears, Greg Ellis, and DeMarcus Ware.

Safety Signed, Safety Booted

2005-06-05T20:55:00.000-05:00

Back to the Cowboys, S Izell Reese

The Cowboys signed S Izell Reese on Sunday, the one-time Cowboy. He was with the Boys for the 1st 4 years of his careers, and then went to the Broncos. He is now back in Dallas to give Dallas some veteran help at Safety. The Cowboys also released 5 players, among them was newly signed S Clint Finely. Why did they sign him? Joke possibly...

Hi, My Name is: Anthony Henry

2005-05-25T07:14:00.000-05:00

Anthony Henry. Born on Nov. 3, 1976 in Fort Myers, Fla. Maybe you've never heard of him, and who can blame you? He's played for the Browns his whole career, but that dosen't make him a bad player. In his 2001 rookie year, he had 44 tackles, and 10 interceptions, starting in all 16 games. In 2003, he emerged as the starting left corner opposite Daylon McCutcheon, with 56 tackles and 1 interception. He donates his time to various Cleveland area charitable causes, including the Taste of the NFL to benefit the Cleveland Foodbank, visiting patients at the Cleveland Clinic, Make-A-Wish Foundation, the Special Olympics and building a playground for the United Way. He is expected to start this year at the #2 CB position, opposite Terrence Newman.

Hi, My Name is: Drew Bledsoe

2005-05-18T07:22:00.000-05:00

Ah, Drew Bledsoe. You may remember him from such teams as: The Patriots from 93-2001, and the Bills from 2002-2004. Recognized as one of the most accurate QB's in the league today, Bledsoe was the first Free Agent acquisition by the Cowboys this offseason. Born on Feb 14, 1972 (that's right, the same day as Jim Kelly) in Ellenburg WA.n He wasselected first-team all-state by the Tacoma News Tribune after senior year at Walla Walla High, named to numerous local and regional all-star teams, including the Western 100, Northwest Nugget, Super Prep's Far West Offensive Player of the Year, Long Beach Press Telegram "Best of the West," Seattle Times Blue Chip and Washington State Player of the Year honors. He recieved a $150,000 football scholarship to Washington State, where he set the second-place record for all-time passing in Washigton with 7,373 yards, despite starting only 28 games. He was drafted by the Pats in 1993, and the rest is history. He founded the Drew Bledsoe Foundation, whose mission is to improve the lives of American children by teaching parenting skills to parents in 1999. He also has his own children's book published entitled "Make the Right Call".

Saftey's and Duke basketball??

2005-05-12T07:15:00.000-05:00

Cory Hall, who is going to visit.

Dallas needs help at the FS position. Duh. They want to keep Roy W. where he is comfortable (striking fear into the hearts of everyone that comes within a 10 foot radius) so they can be a more effective unit. They seek to help this by visiting with former Falcons S Cory Hall. He started 13 of the 14 games he played in 2004, but had just 1 int. and 60 tackles. If he is not signed, look for some combo of Lynn Scott, Keith Davis, and Justin Beriault on running downs.

In other news, the Cowboys must have figured "we signed Baseball players (Henson, Quincy carter) so why not basketball players?" The Cownboys signed former Duke basketball player and WR Reggie Love. I, being from Maryland, hate Duke with the passion of 1,000 fiery STD's, but I have no say in the hiring. If I did, we would have Peter Boulware right now. But anyway, the plan is to move him to LB, but don't worry, it is said he will make the practive sqaud at best.

BULLITEN

Look for the start of what I like to call "Hello, my name is..." in the next week or so. I'll go over the 'Boys FA signing, as well as draft picks. see ya then.

Re-Shard Re-leased

2005-05-05T07:13:00.000-05:00

ReShard Lee, no longer a Cowboy

ReShard Lee, the Cowboy's RB who returned kicks and filled in for the injured Erik Bickerstaff last year, was released to make room in the backfield. It is speculated that Woody Danztler (S) and Marion Barber, the rookie RB will return kicks and punts this year. Also, Happy Cinco De Mayo.

A-Train has Arrived

2005-05-03T07:22:00.000-05:00

Anthony Thomas, now a Cowboy. Who's next?

The Cowboys have just recently signed Anthony Thomas, the former Bears running back who has been over-shadowed by the signing of Thomas Jones last year. Thomas was named the 2001 Offensive Rookie of the Year, in which he rushed for over 1,100 yrds. and scored 7 TD's. This will certainly add a lot of depth and rotation to the Cowboys backfield, now with Julius Jones, A-Train, Marion Barber, Erik Bickerstaff, and ReShard Lee. The only question is, who will the Boys scoop up next?

Pete, Center, Tackle, and Ware Oh My!

2005-04-30T01:45:00.000-05:00

DeMarcus Ware, the Cowboy's #1 draft pick.

Full practice started Friday, and sure enough, there was our boy Ware lined up as an outside linebacker, indeed in a 3-4 defense. Parcells' says he views Ware as an "interchangable player", even lining him up on the slot reciever at times. Let's not forget Spears, who checked in a beastly 307 lbs., but Parcells said he wants him down to 295 by week 1.

Pete Hunter, who is definately staying with the Boys, will NOT be permanantly moved to safety, but in the mix in a nickel defense, as well and Jaque Reeves (?) in the safety position.

Who will RT this year? Rob Petitti? Probably not. Jurt Vollers? Maybe; he started 3 games last year. Torrin Tucker? probably, who started 13 games last year

Who will be the center? Since the signing of Marc Riviera, Andre Gurode has been without a job, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Bill is moving him back to center, which he played in college, but he has to fight of veteran Al Johnson for the spot.

One more, One Less

Well, that didn't take long. 24 hours after being cut by the Texans, CB Aaron Glenn signed a 2-year deal with the Cowboys. He is expected to start behind Terrence Newman and Anthony Henry. One another note, the Cowboys said that Richien Anderson will not return next year. He had anterior cervical surgerey this off-season and is "not going to play" with the 'Boys this year, although he has not said he was going to retire.

CB's a Pletny

2005-04-27T06:26:00.000-05:00

Aaron Glenn, the ex-Texan, possibly a Cowboy soon.

Dallas just re-signed Pete Hunter, and their on the move again. Less than 24 hours after being released from the Texans, Aaron Glenn is taling with the 'Boys. In addition to him and Hunter, they join Terrence Newman, Anthony Henry and about 4-5 returners from last year. It's anyone's guess whi will start this year, so stay tuned, I'll tell you as soo as I know.
