SAN JOSE, Calif. - The Cowboys patience with deep snapper Jon Condo
has run out after just three games, releasing the rookie and signing
another, L. P. Ladouceur, a French-Canadian who played his college
football at nearby Cal and went to training camp this summer withy the
New Orleans Saints.

After a brief workout prior to Wednesday's practice here at San Jose
State University, the Cowboys signed Ladouceur on the spot and then
informed Condo he would not be dressing for practice. There is,
though, a possibility Condo will land on the practice squad, providing
he clears waivers on Thursday.

Ladouceur also was a backup defensive end at Cal, and seemingly would
have the ability to play more on special teams than just deep snap
since he is 6-4, 257. He was an academic honorable mention Pac-10
selection in 2004.

The move, though, comes as little surprise, since on Monday Cowboys
head coach Bill Parcells expressed his concerns with Condo's snapping.
He short-hopped a couple of deep snaps to punter Mat McBriar in the
past two games and then, of course, had the short snap against San
Francisco after the first touchdown, costing the Cowboys the extra point.

When asked Monday if he was losing his patience with the rookie free
agent from Maryland, Parcells said, "I am getting close. It's got to
get better from here. If it doesn't get better we are going to have to
do something. There is no question about that."

He went on to say he did have a recourse, and for now, that recourse
seems to be one Louis-Philippe Ladouceur.

I think leak could be a late first or second round pick, and since Bledsoe has a short term deal you could let him sit on the bench for a year. Don't forget that he drafted Pennington so he will draft a young QB on some occasions.  Does anyone know if he drafted Phil Simms?

I think that we should only draft a college qb that really has all the tools to be a successful NFL qb, no more projects.  We have two many of those in the last few years already. 

Also, do we have multiple picks in any of the first 3 rounds because?   Does anybody have a list of all the Div 1A school quarterbacks that are graduating this year.  I know Leinart(USC), and Young(Texas) are, but who else besides the ones you mentioned already are graduating?

Just rambling thoughts this morning.  I definitely like the offensive potential I see so far and waiting for the defense to become comfortable in the new scheme.

With facing the caliber of dangerous WRs in the next two weeks the
likes of Moss and TO respectively, the Cowboys desperately need to
improve their defensive secondary or they'll get blown out.

GO COWBOYS!!!

If the kicker could have got the 3 points against Washington in the
begining of the game they would have won. Thanks to Jose Cortez the
Cowboys could be 3-0 right now. Against the 49ers the cowboys had the
same problem granted the kicker wasn't the only one that missed the
kick considering they had trouble getting the ball off to be kicked.
If Dallas could get a kicker before the end of the yr. that would take
alot of stress away for us Cowboys fans. THANKS TO KEYSHAWN JOHNSON
the cowboys didn't need the kicker at the end of the game he got 2
points! What a win against the 49ers! Dallas, Washington, Phili, and
Giants are all tied as of right now!!!Dallas is still in this thing I
hope they can win against the Raiders and be 3-1. Thats going to be a
tough game I'm crossing my fingers what a tough div......and just
think if we would have won against Washington we'd be 3-0 right now. I
hope the Cowboys defense are getting it together now that they are
over that shocking loss against Washington.Raiders will be tough I
hope we can win.
-Matt

Yes but another nice comback by Drew, who passed Montana for all time
yards..and the defense bent but didn't break and thats cool..
Ron


the Boys need a LOT of work on defense because up next is Randy Moss
which could prove to be a long day for Roy Williams and Co.

I think you are begining to hit the nail on the head about us not
having an offensive philosophy that goes for the jugular.  I think
to go along with that thought is this, we play not to lose on
offense.  In other words, we run only "safe plays" 95 % of the
time.  The type of plays I am talking about are lots of runs between
the tackles and lots of very short, quick passes.  These type of
plays do not result in a lot of turnovers by us, but they also make
it very diffucult to sustain long drives.  We need an offensive
philosophy that puts more of our skill players(Jones, Thompson, and
Glenn) in "space"(a place in the opposing defense where our skill
player can make a big play by only having to dodge a defender or
two).  That means more sweeps(as an example) by Jones and Thompson
so that they have a chance to beat a defender on the edge of the
defense instead of always running through the tackles where the
majority of the defense is.  With Glenn, we need to run more
crossing routes in the 15 - 20 yard range(as an example).  Both of
these concepts may result in a few more turnovers, but they also
will result in our skill playes being in space and able to make more
plays.  I think our offensive players have plenty of confidence in
themselves, I think the problems with our offense are a direct
result of our head coaches philosophy about the offense not losing
the game.  This philosophy does not put us in a position to win
games by constantly pushing ourselves to score.  This philosophy
also inhibits our offense from knowing how to score when they have
to to win the game(last game as an example). I think our offensive
philosophy should be how can we constantly put our skill players in
position to win the game, not just once or twice a game.
On another thought though, it was nice to see the offensive line not
give up any sacks.  That is an improvement.

it's the killer instinct we used to have.  I think this offense
lacks confidence in itself, or maybe the coaching staff lacks
confidence in the offense to trust it to go out and win a game.  Why
was Tyson Thompson rushing when we got inside the 40.  The coaches
gave up on that drive and settled for a field goal.  You've got,
Keyshawn, Glenn, Crayton, Price & Witten and you run the ball?
Jimmy would have gone for the jugular and I think that's what is
missing.

your comments about the Redskins defense.  I think in watching both
games now(and thinking about last night's game) that something is
amiss in our offense.  I cannot quite put my finger on it yet.  It
just seems that we should "accidently" score 17 - 21 points a game.
We have plenty of offensive skill players capable of scoring.    We
scored 28 on San Diego, but San Diego had two defensive penalties
that kept two of our scoring drives going in that game, otherwise we
only score 14 points.  I am not that confident in our offensive game
plans and our offensive execution.  I have watched a lot of games
over the years.  Most of the years I can remember going into any
game, that I knew we were going to score at least 24 - 28 points and
when we played a really good defense, we would only score 17 - 21,
but still won the game because our defense only
>  would give up 14.  To me it is inexcusable to lose with our
offensive skill players when our defense only gives up 14 points.
Before Parcells got here we had an offense that averaged 14 points a
game.  3 years into the Parcells era, we still are only scoring 14
points a game.  If we average 28 points a game, we win.  If we
average 14 points a game, we lose.

even if the other team plays good defense, we have played good
defenses in the past and still scored more than 13 points.

We NEED a new kicker. This was Dallas's chance to take the div. The
Eagles lost to the Falcons this would have made a BIG impact. I also
believe it was the Cowboy's chance to prove they were a big player.
Alot of people are saying the Giants are no match for Dallas I think
they looked REALLY good against the Saints and if Eli keeps playing
like that what a mess this year can be for Dallas. This was a HUGE
lose because it was a division lose. I hope they can win against
Giants and Phili.
-Matt
PS
What a shame Dallas wasn't in Chicago's div. then I would have no
worries.lol

Roy Williams did have a good overall game..but I think Brunell was
pissed because of that hard sack by Roy..and vowed to go deep after
that and had the last laugh..and whats worse..Roy should have ended
things but let an interception in the endzone go through his hands.
Ron


Roy Williams!!!!!!! A Pro-Bowl player, an impact player was burned
twice in less than 2 minutes!!! I don't know what he was thinking on
that second play,
