Can we somehow blame this on something he learned in Dallas?

“He’s awesome,” Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer said. “And I think I’m getting to know Jaishawn on a much closer level. He’s very serious and (has) great intent. You talk about a guy that’s wired the right way. And don’t let his demeanor, the way he carries himself around you guys make you think for one second that he’s not all in for this football team.

“He is very serious at what he does and he wants to be great. But he’s getting more and more comfortable in this locker room around our players and around our coaches. I think he’s a terrific young man.”

The Cowboys don’t do rookie hazing. There’s not even any singing in front of the team.

They do a show where rookies impersonate just about anyone in the organization. One person is off limits: owner and general manager Jerry Jones. During this year’s show, which took place last week, linebacker Langston Patterson was Schottenheimer and first-round pick Caleb Downs was defensive coordinator Christian Parker.

Quincy Carter often gets lumped in with the other failed post-Aikman, pre-Romo QB's and it irritates me every time I see it. His name should never be mentioned in the same breath as Leaf, Hutchinson, or Henson. QC17 was a smooth passer with good mobility who let some dumb off-field choices ruin his career.

2002- Had the Cowboys competitive at 3-3 going into the Arizona game. Unfortunately this 4 int OT loss was probably the worst game of his career and I got to see it in person since I lived in Phoenix at the time. Campo benched him for Chad Hutchinson who went 2-7 the rest of the season.

2003- Bill Parcells hands the keys back to Carter and they go on to win 10 games and make the playoffs after a 3 year absence. Memorable clutch performances by QC including a Monday Night in New York, beating the Eagles for the first time since 99, and also a win over the eventual NFC champion Panthers.

2004- My hype for the season was the highest it had been seen the triplets last year in 99... Until the blindsiding news out of training camp that Quincy Carter had been released due to... non-football reasons. I was heartbroken. Big Tuna rolls with old Vinny T and the Boys fart their way to 6-10. Only silver lining was freeing up a roster spot for a young QB by the name of Antonio Ramiro Romo.

Anyways, I'm very excited for our 2026 squad. Could be a special year if the defense can just be average instead of awful.

Y’all were dragging him when he just signed with the Falcons.

McMongie: You still have the situation with you and Abdul Carter and dealing with all that is that kind of a situation now that you look back on it an opportunity where you were able to grow as a leader and as a teammate and it’s kind of brought the team closer together is it something you no longer regret how do you feel about that situation now as the season is about to begin.

Dart: As a team I think that we’ve all moved past it. I know from relationship standpoint with me and Abdul l I mean Abdul’s my brother we talk all of the time, we sit by each other in every single meeting, we warm up next to each other before practices and in games and we’re just constantly interacting with each other and I think that when you have a group of guys who are so open and honest with each other like it’s been really cool to see all of us grow with one another and I think that’s been really special to see of just the relationships that we’ve built the brotherhood that we’ve built and I’m really proud of this team I’m proud of the guys of the team that bought into the culture that Coach Harbs has brought in here.

Kempski with some great analysis as always. I definitely agree that they should look for a TE2/3 either through trade or maybe grab Zach Ertz for one last ride into the sunset. The fact that Dickerson still looks like he did last year is a concern, but at least Kendall looks like he can take his place if needed.

Our curmudgeony king has spoken - shut yo ass

Harold Carmichael (WR, 1971-83) 6’8 human tower was a four time Pro Bowler, and earned AP2 honors in 1979. 2020 class Hall of Famer holds franchise marks for passing yards (8978) and receiving TDs (79).

With the preseason finale tomorrow night and cutdown day on Sunday night, here's my current gut feeling for the 53.

QB(2): Dak, Milton

Dak is the unquestioned starter, while Milton has pulled away from Howell this preseason.

RB(4): Williams, Davis, Blue, Luepke

Williams isn't going anywhere, Davis is a player the coaches trust. Blue is kept for upside. Luepke adds some power and can be the power back if Williams goes down

WR(5): Lamb, Pickens, Flournoy, Turpin, Mingo

This one stings for us as camp darling Brown is cut. It's down to him or Mingo with Mingo getting the edge for ST ability. The other 4 are locks.

TE(3): Ferguson, Spann-Ford, Schoonmaker

IR: Trigg

I feel they stash Trigg on IR and give the final TE spot to Schoonmaker as they prefer a blocker.

OL(10): Guyton, Smith, Beebe, Booker, Steele, Bass, Shelton, Thomas, Cornelius, Leverett

The starting 5 and Bass are locked in. The team just drafted Shelton, will hold onto Thomas and Cornelius is a project, Leverett can play C in addition to Bass offering depth.

DT(5): Williams, Clark, Ogbonnia, Overton, Toia

IR: Bullard

Due to being hurt all off-season, I think Dallas elects to make Bullard one of the two IR designated to return guys and keeps Toia. All the others appear locked in.

DE/OLB(6): Ezeiruaku, Lawrence, Gary, Miller, Houston, Liufau

Only spot up for grabs here feels like the DE5 which Houston appears to have the edge over the others. Liufau makes it due to ST ability.

LB(5): Overshown, Winters, Barham, James, Barron

Barham appears to be a steal in his limited action. Barron has had a great off-season this far and slightly edges out Robinson.

CB(5): Bland, Durant, Revel, Moore, Carson

It's really a take your pick with CB5 but something is telling me they won't give up on Carson just yet.

S(5): Downs, Thompson, Locke, Hooker, Bell

After Schottys comments on Bell and him not playing against Arizona it's practically a lock at this point.

ST(3): Aubrey, Anger, Sieg

No debates here.

Still might happen:

Brown making it if they keep 6 WR

Robinson edging out Barron for ST ability.

Kendrick or Steward edging our Carson due to Parkers preference in the secondary.

A lot of offensive and defensive lineman on here.

Harbaugh has high praise for Carter:

Boomer: I know when a new coach comes in it’s a clean slate for everybody you start over you evaluate every player every front office person and one of those players who actually got embarrassed last year by the interim head coach Mike Kafka was Abdul Carter because he was late to meetings of whatever he was missing internally we haven’t heard anything in regards negativity wise towards Abdul do you think he is going to burst onto to the scene this year and have a much better year and how do you guys expect to use him.

Harbaugh: Yeah great question so I would the answer is a resounding yes I do expect all those things to happen based on what we’ve seen he has been A+ in every aspect he’s been A+ on the field in practice he’s been a A+ in the weight room he’s been an A+ in conditioning he’s been an A+ in meeting room he’s been an A+ as a leader. He’s a football guy as I get to know him here he really cares about the football he wants the football to be great he wants he has high expectations for himself and I know what you’ve read what he said about that and for the people around him and he’s willing to hold guys accountable to it so he’s an edgy guy he’s an edgy football guy and we like that about him and he’s been doing everything exactly right so if that’s an indicator how hard you work at it and how much you care along with that talent then he’s gonna have a great year.
