Nice Interview With Coach Partridge

[Pelt]

Little more insight into our new DL coach

[IndyD4U]

He seems like a great coach. Nice shoutout for Ballard too on doing a nice job on evaluations

Great interview.

 

 

Now I want to go through his career and see what players he coached in college.

 

They need a few, but you know there are a lot more.

 

JJ Watt

Trey Hendrickson

Clancey

 

 

Going to have to find some time to look at that.

 

 

Liked hearing him talk about Raekwon as well.

 

Seems really high on Grover.

[RollerColt]

University of Pittsburgh fans and alumni are very sad to see him go, but also happy for his promotion.
 

Spoke with a few alumni that I personally know and they were pretty consistent in their praise of him. Very smart, a fantastic teacher and just an all around exceptional guy. 

[Pelt]

I like how he seems to have plans for Grover to add more "sacks to his resume".

Little more insight into our new DL coach

 

 Isaiah Land he says.

 

 

Every year it happens. The Dallas Cowboys make some tough roster cuts and we all wait nervously to see if our favorite prospects make it cleanly through waivers. Most do, but every once in a while, a team will scoop up that one guy we were hoping made it to the practice squad. This year, that player is edge rusher Isaiah Land.

An undrafted free agent from Florida A&M, Land dealt with injuries his final year in college, but had a remarkable season in 2021 when he finished with 19 sacks, 25.5 tackles for a loss, and three fumble recoveries. While there is a lot to be uncovered with him, he still flashed enough to draw interest from the Cowboys. Throughout the summer, the young edge rusher had impressed and it looked like the team had found another diamond in the rough.

Land was fantastic during the preseason. In three games, he finished with 10 total pressures, which was the second-most of any player on any NFL team this preseason. He also finished with seven hurries on 45 pass-rushing snaps. He only recorded one official sack but finished with a pass rush win rate of 20%. Not only that, he had opposing tackles so worried about his get-off that they were regularly jumping early. There were several instances when tackles would get called for a false start.

 

 Might as well be optimistic about  Woods and Land contributing to our resurrection.
