Irvin

He gets dogged often on here so time to give him some credit. Bruce with a huge sack on the last Cowboy drive. That was a big play when the Seahawks needed it. Good job Irvin!

Agree. Great job Bruce!

Loved the total effort to get that sack to seal it up the win.

Great play but the celebration can wait...

It was nice to have, but it was a coverage sack. The QB should ha e just thrown it out of bounds. What suck is that one, if not bith, of Cassel's runs went through the void left by Irvin's insanely wide routes on his stunts.

I feel like he is just, there. Not necessarily a bad thing because it is solid production, but it is replaceable production for a much lower price tag.

Right before his sack, I was asking for them to "make a play". That qualified.

Agreed.

He's a much better player than he's given credit for here. Mostly because of some if the boneheaded things he does or says off the field. It sucks that we probably can't afford to keep him.

Since the 2nd half of last season, Irvin has been one of the best SLBs in the league. There isn't a single thing that he doesn't do well in the run and pass game. If some folks can't separate his actual play and ability with a few things he's done that's their problem. And yeah...we probably won't be able to keep him, which also skews things for some people in terms of what they want to believe about a given player. I don't get the grudge thing that a lot of people have with some of our players in general though.

They keep saying that about our O Line also, that's worked out well, next year it will be about our QB.

Irvin is playing for a contract. He's a pretty good linebacker, can run down some pretty fast players, but there was no way we were going to sign him to the same contract he has. I'm sure he'll get paid more elsewhere and we'll be cursing his success.
