    Haliburton Breaks Heft's Assist Record

    OK, I'm going to do it. I know I am going to catch hell, but I don't know of any other place to write this. And as a reminder, I am writing this as a verified Haliburton fan before he even became a Cyclone. All that said... The 15th assist - to Zion Griffin - was not an assist. Haliburton...

    ISU Student and Champion Golfer Celia Barquin Arozamena Murdered at Coldwater Golf Course

    Police have released the victim’s name and made an arrest. Tragic and senseless.

    Play calling product of your line......

    I'm a little late to this thread, so forgive me if these have been answered already. I know we run out that pistol shotgun formation, but is there no way to pitch it out to Montgomery from that? I went back and watched his highlight videos from last year. I only saw one play where we pitched it...

    NFL: 2018 Cyclones in NFL training camps

    There are still two spots left open on the Cowboys practice squad. Lanning still has a chance.

    NFL: 2018 Cyclones in NFL training camps

    Lanning played 3 series last night for Dallas, each time at the end of quarters (the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th). He had one nice play where he lined up over the center in an obvious blitz call. He made it into the backfield clean, flushed the QB, and would have had a chance for a sack had he not been...

    NFL: 2018 Cyclones in NFL training camps

    I watched most of the Dallas/Houston game last night. Campos came in for an injured lineman midway through the second quarter, played right tackle for 2 or 3 series, and did not look good. He got beat a couple of times, including once where the TE chipped the DE and Jake still missed the...

    NFL: 2018 Cyclones in NFL training camps

    Jaguars WR, Marquis Lee, injured his knee in their 3rd preseason game Saturday and will be out for the season. Lee was one of the front-runners for a roster spot having caught 120 or so passes the last two years for the Jags. From the USA Today article: As for the back of the depth chart...

    Campos?

    The announcers mentioned something about it in the 2nd preseason game if I remember correctly. Something about his father being from the Laredo area. I don't know if it was anything more than Campos traveled to Texas regularly to visit family and was a long-time Cowboys fan. Might be one of...

    Campos?

    Dallas is suffering from a rash of injuries across the O-line (plus Chaz Green is still suffering the nightmare effects of Adrian Clayborn's sack-fest last year) so there are some openings that would normally not be available. Jake's best bet, IMO, is to look good enough at guard to warrant an...

    Campos?

    No, he has played both right and left tackle in the previous two preseason games. He looks pretty out of his depth at tackle where even 2nd and 3rd team rush ends have made him look bad. He has completely missed blocks one-on-one at times. And on one drive, he was called for holding twice...

    NFL: 2018 Cyclones in NFL training camps

    For the second straight game, Lanning did not see any action. I can only think of two reasons: He is absolutely outclassed, and is simply a camp body at this point. (More hopefully) in a crowed, talented and mostly veteran Cowboys LB crew; Lanning has no shot of making the 53, so the team is...

    NFL: 2018 Cyclones in NFL training camps

    Campos played the entire second half at left guard. I am far from an expert on interior offensive line play, but he looked much more comfortable there. At tackle he would occasionally completely whiff on an outside rusher. Inside, without that worry, he held up pretty well. He wasn't dominating...

    NFL: 2018 Cyclones in NFL training camps

    Here a great point about Lanning made in this Cowboys mailbag Q&A at https://www.dallascowboys.com/news/mailbag-difficulty-trimming-roster-from-90-to-53 The two writers admit Lanning is a long shot to make the 53 man roster, but one does suggest that he possibly has a better than average chance...

    NFL: 2018 Cyclones in NFL training camps

    For what it's worth, the Cowboys signed a rookie lineman today. To make room they released a lineman NOT named Campos. Good news for Jake.

    NFL: 2018 Cyclones in NFL training camps

    I don’t think Lanning saw the field on defense during tonight’s Cowboys game versus the Cincinnati Bengals. Campos played at least a quarter, first right tackle and then left tackle. I think he looked a little better, though he still wiffed on a couple of blocks and was called for holding twice...

    I'm a Dallas fan! I can't have him going to the Giants or Skins or Eagles (or Patriots) and then have to hate him! :)

    NFL: 2018 Cyclones in NFL training camps

    Not great news for Lanning. In an article today about the various position battles in the Cowboys camp, former NFL personnel director/scout/draft analyst, Bryan Broaddus, wrote that he thinks the Cowboys will keep 6 linebackers. If they do go with 7, Justin March-Lillard is that guy. So Lanning...

    NFL: 2018 Cyclones in NFL training camps

    Marchie Murdock was released today by the Cowboys. His injured ankle likely played a large role as he was replaced by a healthy WR free agent, Darren Carrington, from the University of Utah.

    NFL: 2018 Cyclones in NFL training camps

    Watched the entire Dallas game last night. As people have mentioned here, Marchie was the big name among former Cyclones with 2 catches on 3 targets for 36 yards. He also looked aggressive when blocking - perhaps a bit too aggressive at times and looked like he was borderline holding. His...

    NFL: 2018 Cyclones in NFL training camps

    The Cowboys play their first preseason game in San Francisco tonight - Aug 9th - at 9pm CT on the NFL Network. Should be a good chance to catch the 3 former Cyclones get some playing time: Lanning wears #43 Murdock is #18 Campos is #63
