I wonder what the Dolphins will do with Williams, Brown, and Barber. I would thinkg the TUNA would want a little defensive help. Oh well let the chips fall! I hate to lose Barber.

Draft this, draft that. They have proven that they have the nucleus to be a super bowl contender, 13 wins, but have yet to get it done. Get pack man in the secondary Jerry, our D Backs are our Achilles heel. SO, lets pull our heads out and win a playoff game. How many players did we send to the pro bowl? How many games did we win to only to get bounced in the first game of the playoffs? Suck it up and get mad Cowboys! You have what you need, GET IT DONE!! I went to that game and was, or I am still sick about it. I'll never leave you boys but get it done. They need to win a playoff game. Draft this, draft that.

If Felix Jones is available in the first that would be good too! We should be able to get three solid players with the 2 first round and 1 second round. A good wide receiver would be nice.

Forget about him; he won't be a Cowboy. Secondly, all of your ideas sound great; if there was no such thing as contracts and Salary Caps were nonexistent. Jerry Jones has already stated that Marion Barber was not going to be traded. A trade with Roy Williams isn't likely to happen either. Even if Roy Williams was traded the Cowboys would have to take a cap hit. The Cowboys best chance at filling holes is through the draft, not free agency. But you have to be reasonable with who what and where the prospect is taken. The Cowboys are really short in cap space so moving up in the draft could cause the Cowboys to pick up a player they won't be able to afford to put on the team.

Someone earlier in this discussion mentioned the TD trade, we gave up 4 picks to get him, we did not know what we were really getting then either. My thought is this give up williams and one #1 pick this year and one in 2010 (if we have to). I believe Mc Fadden is worth the risk Look people I have been a cowboy fan since watching the boys beat the dolphins in the 71 superbowl.

I am not for trading Barber, but I think we should look at the Mc Fadden deal. How would Barber then be with Mc Fadden in the backfield as well. I think the Barber deal is a rumor. The running game is not Miami problem with two featured backs. Keep your choices open. I think keeping Barber is a good idea.

To give up MB who is a top 3 back would be a huge gamble. I am a lifer for the Cowboys but I live in Houston and I got to witness first hand the fan outcry against the first round pick the Texans decided on. Ohhh, it should have been Vince or Reggie Bush. Reggie Bush was the be all end all in most peoples minds and he has not lived up to the hype at all. Great college back not doing to well in the NFL. Emmit Smith, NFL teams said he was too small, not fast enough and look what he did with his career. The point is that you never know. MB IS a proven back and in my opinion is not utilized in a way that would make him stand out even more. He has made the transition, and helped lead them to the playoffs. It is not his fault the coaching staff did not find a way to work him into the offense in the second half of the Giants game. Bottom line, keep MB. cboys4life, DMC is a good back no doubt but he has not played a down in the NFL. To give up MB who is a top 3 back would be a huge gamble.

Sometimes the draft is a crap shoot. Do you think there is 6 teams that wish they had drafted Peterson? Even the Packers say today,"we should have taken Moss". The Giant sure had trouble raping Peterson. All the terrible terror Giants got that day was carpet burns. A good running game will slow down that rush. You show me one man that made an impact on LSU the No 1 team. MC Fadden....50 points on the number one defense! The guy is a great back with all knid of potential. How many playoff game has Mc Fadden won...zero...the same as Barber...how many Super Bowls has Mc Fadden won...Zero...the same as Barber. Jerry do the best you can...we will be there to support thr BOYS! Well, fellows had you rather have another Carver or Pittman. Sometimes the draft is a crap shoot.
