COWBOYS UPDATES

By mark rogers
March 23, 2011

Sorry for the long absence...dealt with flu, Spring Break and following Charlie Sheen news over the last two weeks...

Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (whom I follow on twitter) apparently doesn't get along too well with the security team at Northpark Mall in Dallas. He's had a few run-ins and got into it with an off duty security guy a few days ago when he was asked to pull his pants up to cover his under garments.

Another time he was confronted while trying to cut in line at the Apple store at the same mall. Not a big deal...but we're all grasping at straws for some football news.

There is some football news that will affect him in a good way. The NFL has changed its kickoff rules. Kickers will now get to place the ball at the 35 (instead of the 30) and the touchback line will still be the 20. This means that (in the Cowboys case) David Buehler will be able to rack up touchbacks at will and the Cowboys will probably not use Bryant as a kickoff returner since kickoffs will have a smaller importance due to the change.

This is good for Bryant since he missed a few games with an injury he sustained during a kickoff return.

He'll hopefully still return punts though.

The Cowboys are also hearing from some other teams about getting our #9 pick in next month's draft. It doesn't mean anything until Dallas is on the clock (right after the 8th pick is made). Dallas has the highest payroll in the league (somewhere in the 135 million range) which is over the "agreed" upon limit, but Stephen Jackson was recently quoted as saying that won't mean anything for the draft since we have no idea what system the NFL will be under when play resumes...if it does next season. Stupid lockout.

Bryan McCann (the rookie from SMU who scored a couple of non-offensive TDs last season) was arrested and put in the drunk tank a few days ago. He claims he wasn't drunk and has hired a lawyer. At least he didn't beat up his girlfriend then break a window in his dressing room.

Other than the two arrests and the lockout...the draft is the next big thing on the horizon for the Cowboys. All we can do now is hurry up and wait.
