thought this was a cut thread, not a thread of player's we're keeping... lol :laugh2:

[AMERICAS_FAN]

Igor Olshansky quote per DMN: "It was a numbers thing more than anything."

No Igor, It was a "you suck" thing more than anything.

Buh-BYE!

[Reality]

Before anyone starts posting "obvious" yet speculation keeps/cuts, I want to point out that I am limiting the updates to players who have announced they were told they would be cut and players who can be confirmed by a news source as retained or who recently received new contracts.

While it may appear "obvious" that the Cowboys will keep four running backs based on comments by Jerry Jones recently, until it is announced or confirmed by a news source, they will not be moved to the cut/kept lists.

Holley tweeted that he made the team.

Congrats Jessee Holley! You've earned the star and deserve to be among the 53!

[CoCo]

Congrats Jessee Holley! You've earned the star and deserve to be among the 53!

Yup, congrats deserved. He looked very solid in preseason.

[theogt]

Wow, so Chapas pushed out Gronk. Interesting.

[AbeBeta]

Wow, so Chapas pushed out Gronk. Interesting.

I don't know that either really deserve a spot - I think we'll keep Rucker and use Phillips in the FB spot

[Reality]

Wow, so Chapas pushed out Gronk. Interesting.

I wouldn't assume that .. Chapas didn't look good at all this preseason IMO. It seemed like he blocked air more than defensive players.

#reality

[Woods]

I thought Holley played well vs the Vikings and Miami.

On the screen play to D Murray (1st play of the game), Irvin singled out his (Holley's) blocking as well.

[FLcowboy]

I wouldn't assume that .. Chapas didn't look good at all this preseason IMO. It seemed like he blocked air more than defensive players.

#reality

Yeah, if Gronk didn't make it, Chapas can't possibly make it, but why wasn't it announced.

[jchap2k]

If Holley really does make it in this league, his story will probably be one of the most singular as far as how he got into the league. I was impressed with him in the preseason as well. Does a good job on finishing blocks and on special teams. Now that he is starting to look like a receiver I'm happy for him and happy he made the team. :P

[MC KAos]

What was Holley doing before the reality show anyway?

[fishspill]

I'm with you. I expected nothing from him. Shows the kind of man he is regarding his work.

Its interesting that Holley is confirmed before Ogletree

[thisisepic]

Holley is a baller and seems to always have his head in the game. As for Igor getting cut.

ITS ABOUT TIME! He should have been gone before TC, but better late then never.

[The Realist]

Is there any way we can keep 4 TE's, 4 RB's and Chapas.

I can't see that happening and Chapas doesn't deserve to make it from what I've seen.

As an organization it seems like we over analyze the FB position.

It's not like there aren't good FB's coming out in the draft, we just seem to evaluate them the same way we evaluated OL 2000-2010.

[Ren]

Only real surprise there is that we didn't keep a single FB

[gimmesix]

Irvin rejoices again for Holley. He needs to fire up the ol "4th & Long" machine again. heheh

I actually enjoyed it the first time and wouldn't mind seeing another one, considering it's just for a camp invite.

[Mash]

No FB's I can understand....

But who are our LB's?

[gimmesix]

Only real surprise there is that we didn't keep a single FB

But we kept 4 tight ends and 10 linemen.

[Nirvana]

I think we may be signing an MLB off the waiver wire.

[gimmesix]

No FB's I can understand....

But who are our LB's?

We have 7 and Carter on NFI. So that leaves us with three ILBs until Carter can be activated.

[reddyuta]

We can bring in hanson now.

[fishspill]

Josh Thomas? I had hopes for him.

[TheCoolFan]

Josh Thomas and Mario Butler both cut? Hmm, surprising move considering the health status of our starting CBs is still up in the air. One of them has to be kept on the PS though, I'm sure of it.

They've gotta be looking at free agent ILBs though. No way they should feel comfortable with only 3 ILBs and 2 of those who have some injury/durability concerns

[the truth of it all]

Thank god "AOA" is gone ,tired of reading about him on here . A good day in Dallas Cowboys history.:starspin

[gimmesix]

Fixed it :laugh2:

That probably especially holds true for Bailey. He gets a one-week audition for the job, and if he fails, a vet comes in to replace him.

If he succeeds, he gets another week.

[Cowboyz88]

So, is the secondary quickly becoming the area of the draft that we don't do so well (followed closely by DL)?

It used to be the OL, but the past draft may have remedied that.

[dogberry]

After a quick look, did we keep Parnell (OT)?

[The Realist]

Explain to me how we don't draft DL well?

[kTXe]

How long before we can start adding guys to the PS?

[Cowboyz88]

You're right.

I overstated the DL.

I just would like to see a stud DE for once instead of "solid" guys.

[Picksix]

Sunday, once they clear waivers.

[ethiostar]

I'm a little surprised they cut Manny Johnson and Mario Butler.

[Eskimo]

They all have to clear waivers first before being signed to the PS.

[Eskimo]

I'm a little surprised they cut Manny Johnson and Mario Butler.

They'll probably try to put Butler and Thomas on the PS in case of injury.

Johnson will have to try and catch on elsewhere as I think he's already done two stints on the PS.

[Nirvana]

Got 51 of 53 right. Didn't have Choice or Young making it and had Chapas and Cummings making it.

[ethiostar]

Johnson will have to try and catch on elsewhere as I think he's already done two stints on the PS.

I thought Johnson showed up well during the preseason but i guess its a numbers game right now. I thought maybe they would cut Ogletree and keep Johnson.

Thanks. Thought that was the case but wasn't sure.

[AdamJT13]

He's not on the "kept" list in post No. 1, but we must have kept him.

EDIT: #Reality updated the list to include him.

[links18]

Is Radway going to IR? We kept Sam Young? He didn't look so hot this preseason.

[Ren]

So with Brandon Williams and Manny Johnson gone we're now down to 3 players from the 09 draft class? A 3rd string QB, a kicker who can't kick FGs and Butler?

:banghead:

[Woods]

I wonder if we pick up one more ILB off waivers or do we just put Lemon on the PS and wait for Carter?

[Romo 2 Austin]

Owusu-Ansah, Akwasi (S)


NOOOO

[burmafrd]

Once Bennett is back Rucker is gone; then Young will go as well. We will either look for a vet Tackle or chance it with Parnell. Once Carter is back we will have to cut someone or stay with 3 OTs. I doubt anyone would want Young so we can probably stash him on the PS.

[Oh_Canada]

Sam Young blows....it's a matter of time with him.

[Bowdown27]

That's pretty crazy they let radway on the team. Shows something bout the team I don't care if he on injured reserve or not

[DallasEast]

Owusu-Ansah, Akwasi (S)


NOOOO
What? What was that? A whimper?

Lord Romo2Austin, that was a cry of rage unbecoming of a Sith lord. Here, look at how a true master does it:Tim5nU3DwIE
Alrighty then. No more of this understated NOOOO business, okay? :)

[Cowboyz88]

?

It's not like he played like a scrub before he got hurt.

He showed more potential this pre-season than guys like Stepfret Williams, Zuriel Smith, Skyler Green, etc. ever did.

Yes he was raw, but for a raw WR he caught the ball (see: with his hands) very well, IMO.

Not sure what this means. Is it a good thing Dallas put Radway on IR or does it say something bad about the team?

I think it was a pretty easy decision. The guy played well and they get to keep him for a year without having to sacrifice a roster spot.

[Risen Star]

So with Brandon Williams and Manny Johnson gone we're now down to 3 players from the 09 draft class? A 3rd string QB, a kicker who can't kick FGs and Butler?

[jack2]

Would rather have kept one of the young Db,s instead of Ball and Gronk instead of Rucker, hope they can pick up one vet OT free agent!

[SDogo]

Only real surprise there is that we didn't keep a single FB


It's actually not, I was lambasted here when I criticized the pick of Chapas.

Well, just read my thoughts here.

http://cowboyszone.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3934566&postcount=73

Garretts office utilizes the TE in the FB/H-Back role.

He is 100% correct. If Phillips would not have been hurt, Gronk would of never made the team.

http://cowboyszone.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3934587&postcount=90

I have no problem with the pick, just don't know much about him and don't see a roster spot for him. Dallas is not going to keep 3 RB's/3 TE's and a FB on the active roster and Garrett's offense does not require a true FB. Unless John Phillips struggles I dont see how he makes the team.


http://cowboyszone.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3934612&postcount=105

Given Bennett is back and Phillips is healthy I'll bet my first born he won't and if he does he will be on the practice squad in case one of the TE's goes down.

[AdamJT13]

That's pretty crazy they let radway on the team. Shows something bout the team I don't care if he on injured reserve or not

He has a broken leg. Even if they cut him, unless some team claimed him and put him on their 53-man roster, he would automatically revert to our injured reserve list. So either way, the result is the same.

[DFWJC]

?

It's not like he played like a scrub before he got hurt.

Agree
Radway was VERY raw, but it's hard to deny that he at least is worth keeping around to develop. I think he was heading for the PS, but like Harris, you can clearly see upside potential. Moreso, imo, than either Holley or Johnson. Holley is better right now though.

Ugh. We have 4 strong safeties...

Keeping Buehler does obviate the need to keep two or three players just for special teams. Shouldn't ever have to worry about kick returns.

True....it's just sad they can't have one kicker capable of making field goals and touchbacks like most teams.

[Chris in Arizona]

Shefter says we just cut Holland.

[EPL0c0]

Just read that the Chiefs put TE Tony Moeaki on IR and are shopping for a pass catching TE. If Bennett wasn't hurt, I think he'd be a candidate for trade eh?

Trade him anyway, ask for a 2nd and settle for no less than a 3rd.....

Then we can add another OL, S, or LB to our roster. Also, once either Bailey or Beuhler wins the job outright, cut the other and sign a player for another area of need.

[Nirvana]

Just read that the Chiefs put TE Tony Moeaki on IR and are shopping for a pass catching TE. If Bennett wasn't hurt, I think he'd be a candidate for trade eh?

That tells me more than anything that we won't release Rucker, as it would be handing him over to the Chiefs. Rucker is the epitome of a pass catching TE. No way would he make it to the practice squad.

We would entertain a trade for Rucker, though.

Another possibility is we are waiting for the Chiefs to make a move for a TE, so that the coast is clear to waive Rucker.

[Hostile]

Have we ever determined who besides Holland is gone?

Two players signed and one gone puts us 1 over unless we missed a news item.

[Eskimo]

Tony Fiametta - he was just cut Carolina. He hasn't played since a concussion from preseason week 1.

My guess is Garrett is still looking for his dominant lead blocker.

I do worry that his concussion symptoms are still persisting almost a month later. FB isn't a great position for someone with a concussion given the nature of regular high-impact collisions.

I think someone posted that it may have more to do with his neck now and not the concussion, but he was projected by the panthers to be ready by gm 1(before he was cut).

Google:

The Panthers were without 16 players due to injury Friday night against the Miami Dolphins, including wide receiver Steve Smith (finger) and running backs Jonathan Stewart and Mike Goodson, both of whom sat out with sore Achilles. Among the others sitting out on offense were fullback Tony Fiammetta (neck), guard Geoff Schwartz (hip), right tackle Jeff Otah (knee) and tight end Gary Barnidge (ankle).

Offensive guard Derrick Dockery and fullback Tony Fiammetta participated in their first practice Monday with the Cowboys after signing Sunday. Both said they don't expect it to take them very long to learn the Cowboys' offense.

"I'm just trying to learn as I go," Fiammetta said. "I just got in last night. My first time at the facility was this morning. I'm just trying to absorb as much and be a sponge and trying to learn the offense as quickly as possible. I'm definitely coming to a winning organization and I want to do whatever I can to help this team win games this year."http://www.dallasnews.com/sports/dallas-cowboys/headlines/20110905-cowboys-derrick-dockery-tony-fiammetta-say-they-can-learn-quickly.ece
