It makes plenty of sense to continue to stage the Scouti

ng Combine in Indianapolis Aqib Talib Jersey , but the league will make plenty of dollars to move it.One thing that became clear based on conversations with people of power and influence in Indianapolis last week is that the NFL seems determined to treat the Combine like the post-Radio City draft, moving it from city to city in order to generate maximum buzz and, more importantly, maximum revenue. Although Indianapolis seems to be the perfect location for the event, its presence causes a ripple in comparison to what it could do if brought to a different city and then a different city and then a different city. And the NFL knows it.The first step could be, as Peter King explained in his column, moving some of the Combine workouts to prime time, as soon as next year. And those workouts may not be in the same city as the physicals; King reports that one possibility would include conducting the medical examinations in Indianapolis and then having the on-field workouts and interviews elsewhere, like L.A.As King notes, the coaches and scouts won’t like it. But the owners won’t care. There’s cash to be grabbed Marcus Peters Jersey , and the changes would apply equally to all teams.At some point, though, the process inescapably morphs from a job interview into a reality show, with participants who get paid nothing to participate. And someone eventually needs to stand up for the kids and get them something in exchange for the money that their efforts are generating.To those who will say that consideration for a career as an NFL player should be enough, the players will be considered regardless of whether they participate in the Combine — and the best players will be drafted in the best spots. Besides, what other job interview becomes a TV show that only the producers profit from?So as the league prepares to make the Combine a bigger deal, a bigger deal needs to be made for fair compensation for the guys who have allowed it to become what it is. The Dallas Cowboys defense might want to delete that last group photo. It was a celebration that proved a bit premature.On this Monday night, the Cowboys didn't defend their star in a 28-14 loss — except for Byron Jones shoving Kevin Byard when the Tennessee Titans safety did his best imitation of Terrell Owens' infamous taunting on the midfield logo 18 years ago."There's no need for it," Jones said. "We're all having fun, but I think when you go and try to go on the star ... everyone knows what going on the star means."Byrad's interception in the end zone of Dak Prescott's pass came right after Jaylon Smith recovered the second fumble by Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota and the Cowboys (3-5) looking to build on their early 7-0 lead."That was a big play in the ballgame not to be able to cash in there David Long Los Angeles Rams Jerseys ," coach Jason Garrett said. "That was big in the game."Just two plays later, it looked like Smith had another recovery after what would have been Tennessee's third lost fumble in a five-minute span. The defense had already posed for another group photo, like it had after two fumbles by Mariota, before the play was overturned on a replay review.After keeping the ball, Mariota and the Titans (4-4) went on to finish a 15-play drive that tied the game. They didn't have any more turnovers and never trailed again."One thing that defensively that we try to uphold is creating turnovers," Jones said. "You can't just do it in the first quarter and expect the game to go your way. You have to do it throughout the entire game."Amari Cooper had a 4-yard TD catch in his first game for the Cowboys, who sent a first-round pick to Oakland for the fourth-year receiver.All three Dallas drives in the first quarter got into the red zone. There was a missed field goal before Cooper's TD, and Prescott's interception after that in their first home loss this season."I think the main thing is we had two no-scores in the red zone," running back Ezekiel Elliott said. "It's hard to win a game in the NFL when you have two no-scores."Cooper finished by catching five of the eight passes thrown his way for 58 yards — the interception was intended for him. Elliott had 17 carries for 61 yards.Along with Cooper's debut, this was the first game for the Cowboys since offensive line coach Paul Alexander was fired less than halfway into his first season with the team. Former Dallas offensive lineman Marc Colombo Los Angeles Rams Jerseys 2019 , who had served as assistant offensive line coach since 2016, was promoted to take over as offensive line coach.It was the first time Garrett has made an in-season change to his coaching staff, but there was no immediate turnaround.Prescott was sacked five times, losing a fumble when he tried to escape being tackled on one of them, and the Cowboys had only 72 yards rushing.With the five sacks, Prescott has already been sacked 28 times halfway through this season. That is three more than his rookie season in 2016, and just short of the 32 sacks last season."I know that we had breakdowns," owner Jerry Jones said. "I don't know that I expected the change to create a situation here you just didn't have breakdowns. I didn't think there would be enough to impact the game the way it did, and the way it did with Dak."
