B. Moore may be off the market soon...

Per Ian Rapoport :

 

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports the Cowboys are "in talks" with free agent OG Brandon Moore.

Both of the Cowboys' starting guards are on the shelf, and Moore is far-and-away the best remaining interior lineman, so a deal would make a lot of sense. The Cowboys are also reportedly considering free agent OG Brian Waters. Someone should be signed by Wednesday.

 

 

It looks like Moore wont be coming to the rescue before the season starts.  Not that I had my hopes up but at least we can cross his name off the list.

we've got garry. why in the world would we need moore?

The problem is if Moore wants a multi-year deal and the Panthers obliged, that would make it impossible to re-sign Hardy. There is no way Moore (who I believe graded out as the fourth best right guard) would come cheap.

At the end of the day, I'd rather have the Kraken.

But I get your point, the right guard position is just brutally bad and it needs to be addressed with someone better than the likes of Chris Scott.

I think they might just be waiting for Wharton to except a vet minimum contract.

I'm beginning to think Gettleman is wanting to stick with what we have and have Kugbilla take over eventually during the season. To be honest he can see these guys everyday and I guess he sees enough potential in Kugbilla to not bring in a moderate money free agent to protect the right side. I just hope Cam doesn't end up paying for this high risk game Gettleman is playing with Kugbilla.

It can't be for kugbilla. He hasn't even practiced yet.

I'm gonna be so pissed if the offensive line is struggling and Gettle doesn't do anything about it. As if he's setting Cam up for failure.

You have just created a paradox. How does one set someone up for failure that cannot fail?

Eg: what happens when an immoveable object meets an unstoppable force?

Answer: Yes We Cam

That's what scares me. Either he sees potential in Kugbilla who, while promising, has hardly practiced or honestly thinks Garry Williams is an NFL caliber starting RG. It wouldn't surprise me if we scrape someone off waivers once teams make cuts, but it seems management really likes Kugbilla even though he's hardly practiced. That's the vibe I'm getting.

I guess we'll know for sure in a few weeks...

    • Canales up first. Guys got their legs back yesterday and started a little slow when they came out Bryce challenged them in the huddle and they responded "Dominant practice for the defense today." Praised turnovers, "beautiful hits," and being physical Praised Moehrig, Ransom, Incoom, and Jones II Confirmed playing starters. Predominantly a young team and can't pass up an opportunity. Emphasized game day routines such as nutrition, body readiness, etc. Plus it's a bunch of new guys on the defense. Bryce will start. Will play them the first two, but starters might sit for the third game depending on how practice goes that week. Nic Scourton has a mild hamstring that happened in special teams. DJ Johnson had an issue with his hip flare up and is getting checked out this afternoon. Experimenting with approach to preseason games. In Seattle they played their starters in all but the last preseason game and what Pete Carroll was looking for in terms of mental readiness to play football. Thomas Incoom has been getting a lot of work with AC Carter adding to his toolbelt. Getting better as a rusher and being physical in the run game. Looking for a consistency in response. 1pt for a win, 3pts for a TD. Defense doesn't like that, but in games if they give up one go ball the score can swing. They challenged the pass game and the run game today. Guys are getting together before, between, and after team drills to challenge each other Job of the coaching staff to set the foundation for our schemes, philosophy, and expectations of what it's like to play Panthers football. Powerful when players take that and the locker room owns it. That's when it becomes our team, their team. At the end of the day, the men on the field have to rebound from a bad play, celebrate the good plays, and keep each other in tune for a whole game. Robert Hunt is amazing. Size, talent, quickness, flexibility. Really intelligent guy that there will say himself there are technique things he needs to work on. Regardless of where players are at, there's a constant learning curve and loves that Big Rob is challenging himself with the position coach. Thinks the digital down and distance can be really valuable. Getting the information quickly will help with the flow of the game. Thought TMac looked great but there were some near misses that he'll have to get in the room and communicate with Bryce on while reviewing film. James Mitchell keeps doing right and his trust factor is increasing with the QBs. If you're right and the coverage says the ball goes there, it'll come. Had some issues at the start of camp but is trending up. Newton or Person: "It looked like today was beyond thud but short of live. What do you call that?" Canales: "No, that's thud. In my mind, that's what thud should look like. The challenge for our defensive guys is can you put your body in a position where we know that would've been a tackle." Whizzing by, tagging with two hands, etc doesn't show you whether you would've made a tackle. That's not real football. Let's the play extend because guys have to be ready to chase sometime where the ball squirts out from a pit. Can't train to say "Ah, it was a tackle" and relax but instead play with intensity through the whistle. Lathan Ransom is bringing the physical style of play that they saw on film. Has been really into the details and someone that they can count on. Has really given himself a chance to start at the other safety position. Excited for the extra energy from a game-like environment that they'll get from FanFest. Used to have four preseason games and now FanFest feels like that first one. Will give ST full speed reps to evaluate. Making plays and feeding off of the fans. Window closed quickly on the INT to finish practice. CSW baited Bryce with some movement and made a great play. Saw it from Bryce's perspective with TMac coming open. Has played all over the secondary that they can count on to speak loudly and be on the same page with his teammates.
