Cowboys' LB Rolando McClain will be suspended the first 10 games for violating the NFLs substance abuse policy, per @toddarcher and me.

Gregory, Lawrence.

a lot of games lost to suspension on that D and then once Sean Lee gets hurt they'll be in bigger trouble.

I would like to bury these guys in week 1.  
Tom in NY : 6/30/2016 3:14 pm : link
The 3 suspensions really give the Giants no excuse for not putting up 30+ points.

Can the defense hold Dallas to 29 or fewer?

On paper, the Giants should be able to get this done.

Wow, there's more

Also, Cowboys DE DeMarcus Lawrence's appeal was denied, he is suspended 4 games, per @toddarcher.

I guess Jerruh and Roger are not seeing eye to eye these days.

I guess you're saying this is funny?
Well OK then!!!

The Giants have to be salivating a little(as in, like a bunch of crazed dogs) after this most recent Cowboy Cluster.

Maybe drafting and signing 'choir boys' isn't a bad idea.
Rolando McClain is Will Hill plus 30 pounds

If the Giants offense

can stay healthy in the pre-season, Eli is going to put up video game numbers in that season opener.
Get a veteran OL signed  
The 12th Man : 6/30/2016 4:28 pm : link
and I really believe they are the best team in the division. At the rate the Cowboys are going they might not have a starting defense to play against us.
at this rate, this could be the Cowboys' opening night defense

That pic he's smiling in  
djm : 6/30/2016 4:38 pm : link
Was he arrested for dwi in that pic? And he's having himself a good laugh?

He should be locked in a room with a father who lost a child to some piece of shit drunk driver and let's see how quick that smile is removed.

Even better -- that was when he was arrested on assault charges.

"McClain, 22, held a gun beside a man's head during an altercation and the man begged him not to shoot, according to a statement released by Lt. John Crouch of the Decatur Police Department."
I bet Rolando had alot to do with Dez's carpet

Then this begs the question: Why isn't he behind bars right now? Sounds like felony aggravated assault to me.

According to Wiki, he was convicted and was going to spend 180 days in the slammer, but victim dropped the charges and judge closed the case.

The victim probably had 500,000 reasons to drop the charges.
With all of these

suspensions, the Cowboys fans and media already have a built-in excuse when the team does't live-up to their lofty expectations.

No MLB, no 2nd round pick, etc.
Damn. Their defense is going to suck.

And I hope they suffer a few injuries in training camp too. Bc fuck them, that's why

I don't care who is lining up for Dallas on defense in week 1. It's time to put an end to that streak
The Giants have never beaten  
joeinpa : 6/30/2016 8:08 pm : link
The Cowboys in an opening 0-8 ? Last year they had yo work hard to keep that streak in tack.
I remember how BBI..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 6/30/2016 8:57 pm : link
completely lauded that signing by Dallas and talked about how we were asleep at the wheel. He's given them about 12 good games between suspensions and injury.
Sucks for McClain.  
Enoch : 6/30/2016 9:12 pm : link
He signed a 1-year deal for this season that was reported as worth up to $5M. Unfortunately, $1M of that money is a bonus that he only earns if he plays 75% of defensive snaps, and $2M of it is in per-game bonuses ($125k per). The guaranteed money was only $750K.
this is good news for Eli..I wonder how dallas  
32_Razor : 6/30/2016 10:32 pm : link
is going to juggle the 53 man roster with 3 people under suspension.
The blame  
mrvax : 6/30/2016 10:50 pm : link
for the suspensions and even Romo's missed games falls right on the GM/owner. Questionable players & no real backup plan for Romo = disaster.

When Dallas cuts McClain they will incur 750,000 in dead money, but will gain 2,625,000 in cap space.

Players available in free agency include Justin Durant who played two years under Marinelli and could step right in. If this were to happen Lee would probably slide inside.

There is also DeMeco Ryans, Curtis Lofton, Donald Butler, and Stephen Tulloch when Detroit releases him. In house Dallas also has options.

It will be an interesting training camp on the defensive side of the ball. There will be a lot of competition that's for sure.
I really carte about our own players  
xman : 6/30/2016 11:36 pm : link
and avoiding injuries. I could gloat over dallas problems but then watch when the bottom falls out on our team. Surprised we haven't had any major injuries yet not any suspensions. The latter might be because of the importance of character with the team. The maybe because its pre July 4th
McClain  
stretch234 : 7/1/2016 7:22 am : link
His play was so over-hyped. If he played on any other team other than Dallas, there would not have been 1 sentence written about his play.
If the Giants can figure out a way to stop Jason Witten  
SterlingArcher : 7/1/2016 11:38 am : link
then they have a realistic chance of winning the opening game. Hopefully they won't make heroes out of the back ups that will be playing for the suspended starters!
