Jay Ratliff is starting to get some love. The Rat is having a great season so far and people are noticing. Here at BTB, we have long had the love for Jay. Chris Canty sums it up: "Jay is ballin' out there." Q&A with Tony Romo. I've never been a fan of this whole trap game concept. To me, it's more of an excuse for losing to an inferior team than anything else. It's one of those short-hand ways of...

The Dallas Cowboys gave up 37 points at home against the Philadelphia Eagles. Most of those points came in the first half. So what happened? I’ve watched the entire defensive game tape, and you may be a little bit surprised at what I found: FIRST QUARTER On the second play of the game Chris Canty over pursued and [...]

Two of the Cowboys' best players, quarterback Tony Romo and defensive end Chris Canty, were almost Broncos.

Here’s the review of the defense. That should do it for the San Diego game. We start talking (and practicing) Denver Broncos now. Starters NT – Jay Ratliff . Surprisingly, I didn’t see anything for the Rat. No worries, I trust the vet now. DE – Chris Canty . I only got Canty down for one play, he ran an inside stunt and got to the QB to pull him down forcing a bad pass. Marcus Spears . Big game from...

Chris Canty finally signed his $2 million tender with the Dallas Cowboys. But he hasn’t missed a practice and his good attitude hopefully will be rewarded with some playing time and success at defensive end. Canty may have gotten a long-term deal if there weren’t so many high-profile players that needed a lock first. However, if [...]

Chris Canty signed a one-year tender offer today. It’s a one-year deal worth about $2 million according to the DMN Blog. Good stuff. The Cowboys would have received a first-round pick as compensation had they not chosen to match an offer made to Canty by another team during the signing period. Despite not having signed the tender, Canty has worked out with the Cowboys the entire off-season. (UPDATE:...

While Terence Newman and Marion Barber have been getting all of the attention lately Chris Canty has quietly been working out and practicing with the team. Nick Eatman over at DC.com has a good piece about Canty's patience while waiting for his turn to sign a shiny new contract. "You hope so. I hope it's getting to me," said Canty, a restricted free agent. "It's definitely an opportunity I look forward...

The deadline for restricted free agents to sign deals with other teams has come and gone. The Cowboys now have exclusive negotiating rights to Marion Barber and Chris Canty. Canty has been part of the team's offseason program. He signed a deal that protects him in the event of an injury, which would ensures he'd get paid the one-year, $2.017 million tender if he was hurt at the team's facility. Canty's...

This is the first of several player profiles we will feature this offseason. In November, 2007 my grandfather surprised me with a trip to see the Dallas Cowboys play the New York Giants at Giants Stadium in New Jersey. This trip included an exclusive dinner the night before the game at the Cowboys team hotel with two guest players who would be there for the Dallas Cowboys radio road show. All the...

The DMN blog has the news. Todd Archer just passed along word that the Cowboys have tendered RB Marion Barber at the highest level, and placed the first-round tender on DE Chris Canty. That means Barber has been offered a one-year, $2.562 million deal, and the Cowboys retain matching rights on any offer sheet presented to Barber. If the Cowboys were to decline matching an offer sheet, they'd receive...
