DMN Blog: Young WR Report: Isaiah Stanback's a Jerry guy

by Tim MacMahon

Interesting theory that I heard: Jerry Jones might distance from the decision to spend a 2007 fourth-round pick on Isaiah Stanback, since Jeff Ireland is now working in Miami.

Consider that theory shot down. Jerry gushed about Stanback when I asked about him during the owner/GM's informal chit-chat with reporters following practice.

The 6-2, 208-pound Stanback, who has a T.O.-type physique, walked by while Jerry was talking. Jerry stopped to let Stanback know he was the subject of conversation and congratulate him on a good day of work.

"Look at him," Jerry said, turning his head to address us again. "That's a big guy."

And Jerry believes that Stanback has big potential that will be worth the wait.
