No Gallup and No Collins is going to be a test for the Cowboys  
Zeke's Alibi : 9/10/2021 4:38 pm : link
moving forward. They should be able to get their run game moving next week against the Chargers with Martin back. Wouldn't be surprised to see a completely flipped script as far as gameplan goes for them. Of course it's McCarthy's team, so I'm sure he'll throw the ball come hell or high water.

Haven't seen the chargers yet BUT, their WO's will be trouble for the Boys and Herbert brings a much more athletic threat at QB. Rush might get pressure but Herbert can turn those into runs for first downs. As I said in another thread, regardless of the moral victory of hanging with the Bucs, they had all the advantages and still lost the game. A second loss could easily send this team down the crapper-added in with the suspension and loss of Gallup.
Ah!!! Poor Cowboys

Talking about what goes on the other side of the ball doesn't mean much for the Cowboys. The fact of the matter is they are going to have score 30 points most weeks to win. The defense is just that bad. I'm going to take delight in many games like last night where we see them score under two minutes just to lose. Probably won't become apparent that the clock is just as important as scoring in how the Cowboys are constructed to McCarthy until it's too late in the season and he's fired. Anyone with a halfway function offense is going to get in scoring range given enough time.
Looks like the chance of a lifetime for Simi Feihoko.

Liked him in the draft as a developmental receiver. Wasn't thrilled he landed in Dallas,

Wilson is next in line followed by Noah Brown.

Collins had hip surgery in the off season and I suspect he took something on the banned list.
Suspension is for declining to appear for his test  
shyster : 9/10/2021 6:34 pm : link
rather than for actually testing positive.

Collins' lawyers trying to make something out of that, although obviously there would be a problem if you could avoid suspension by not showing up when you know you're going to test "hot."

he's missed multiple tests  
wahl35 : 9/10/2021 8:06 pm : link


Collins can appeal the decision and seek either an overturn or a reduction, but that will be in the hands or an arbitrator, who has already ruled in favor of the league but there is an additional appeals right Collins possesses per the collective bargaining agreement that sources say he intends to pursue

The league alleges Collins missed mandatory drug screenings, versus actually testing negative for an illegal substance.

If the nfl is serious about their policy  
UConn4523 : 9/10/2021 8:09 pm : link
than the penalty for skipping should simply be a failed test. Unless there’s a Legitimate excuse to miss it, that was approved by the league, I don’t see how skipping is possible without penalty.

Yep.

If you refuse a breath test - punishment is the same six months loss of license.

You can not show up for a drug test when you are on diversion and nothing happens. We are actually holding players to a higher standard than criminals?
Kinda the risk

you take by constantly drafting/signing players with checkers pasts. Certainly not shedding a tear for Jerry Jones tonight

Well, yeah. The players are employees being paid Million$$ and have a collectively bargained agreement that includes punitive actions for illegal behavior. It's a high profile business, and the NFL does not want the image of the 1990's era "cocaine Cowboys" to ever return.
Dallas may lose Collins but get Zach Martin back  
Jimmy Googs : 9/11/2021 8:53 am : link
so probably no worries on their end...

How much gear do you need to be on to skip your tests? Isn't a failed test a 6 game suspension or a 4? It's weird that it's one game difference either way it should be the same.
