[DBoys]

Pepper going to Houston
Bilbo takes his place
Sklyer gonna play some RB

[Kittymama]

?? from Practice Squad went to Texans to be on their roster, so they resigned Bilbo

[DBoys]

Bradie and Vandy are listed as questionable. There was another player but I missed it.

[superpunk]

Sklyer gonna play some RB

Eh? :eek:

[DBoys]

BP says we need Gurode against the Jax DL. So Gurode should start.

[Mr Cowboy]

I thought he said Kinkade, but might of been Pepper.

[stag hunter]

Pepper going to Houston
Bilbo takes his place
Sklyer gonna play some RB

Whoa..

[PAISAN247]

Flozell questionable also

Flozell was the other

[Mr Cowboy]

Bradie and Vandy are listed as questionable. There was another player but I missed it.

Flo, all three practiced today.

[DBoys]

No decision on FS should announce later in the week.

[Kittymama]

Oh gee, we managed a whole 10 minutes without a TO question!

[DBoys]

Owens looks good. Drew and TO have had no problems since he returned to practice.

[superpunk]

Noone addresses the Skyler Green at RB thing....

superpunk gets angry....

[Death Star]

Green at RB is really intriguing. He's short and also has speed and elusiveness (people keep telling me that last part anyways). If he can bulk up a bit...

[stasheroo]

Noone addresses the Skyler Green at RB thing....

superpunk gets angry....

And you wouldn't like Superpunk when he gets angry.........

[cowboyjoe]

[cowboyjoe]

Parcells said they we need Gurode against those big DTs stroud & henderson they have, but he also stated that if gurode keeps goofing up, then gurode will be on sideline

he stated when asked about their wrs, after jimmy smith retired, that one of the wr he wanted in the draft, but he got out voted or something along those lines.

he is worried about the wr-rb they have drew something, he reminds parcells of meggett, so got to watch him

also said since jerry jones laughingly was from arkansas and matt jones came from there, they did look and scout jones, but parcells still wanted the other wr that they have

[cowboyjoe]

skyler green will also be working at running back, that someone else reported, i am thinking, they want him to quick hit their defense.

[Portland Fanatic]

skyler green will also be working at running back, that someone else reported, i am thinking, they want him to quick hit their defense.


Skyler is on the practice squad...he won't be quick hitting anyone.

[Yakuza Rich]

also said since jerry jones laughingly was from arkansas and matt jones came from there, they did look and scout jones, but parcells still wanted the other wr that they have

That's either Wilford or Reggie Williams.

Wilford has great ability, but can't catch. Williams just plain sucks.

(ducks in fear of Len Pasquarelli jumping in and asking if "I've ever tried to catch the ball over the middle in the NFL)

Anyway....

If Parcells got turned down, I think we lucked out on that one.


YAKUZA

[stasheroo]

That's either Wilford or Reggie Williams.

Wilford has great ability, but can't catch. Williams just plain sucks.

So if Parcells got turned down, I think we lucked out on that one.


YAKUZA

I thought that Wilford was the best of the bunch, didn't know he had a case of the "dropsies"........

[cowboyjoe]

D'Boys are you sure ? this is what the hot transactions nfl says

Download the audio recap and you can hear it.

[Chocolate Lab]

We did sign Pepper to the practice squad, but then Houston signed him to their active roster. And Parcells said he wouldn't try to talk Pepper out of that opportunity.

So Pepper is gone.

[cowboyjoe]

right wilford, but i thought that kincade was released, to resign pepper johnson, and houston ;picked up kincade

Practice tidbits

? Linebacker Bradie James was at practice. He did not work Monday after taking a helmet to the groin in the preseason finale vs. Minnesota. In fact, there was no stationary bike out at practice. We'll update the injury report later.

? A number change: new nose tackle J'Vonne Parker is wearing No. 60, not No. 79.

? There was a practice squad move with nose tackle Thomas Johnson re-signed and running back Keylon Kincade (SMU product) let go. Johnson was cut off the active roster in favor of Parker on Monday.

[cowboyjoe]

oh ok, i heard entire broadcast, but it was fuzzy when first started and thats when he talked about transactions-parcells

i am lost though, when u say bilbo, whom are u talking bout?

[DBoys]

They cut Keylon to make room for Pepper. Then Houston offered a roster spot to Pepper and he took it. Dallas then signed Bilbo to PS.

Pepper is going to be a good player you guys watch!

[DBoys]

oh ok, i heard entire broadcast, but it was fuzzy when first started and thats when he talked about transactions-parcells

i am lost though, when u say bilbo, whom are u talking bout?

Bilbo is a WR and I have no information on him only know his name becuase of the roster cuts.

[cowboyjoe]

Yeah, i agree, and i dont like houston signing pepper, since we play them this year,

maybe we can get one of their players before we play them.

But whom is Bilbo?

[Chocolate Lab]

I want to know more about this Wilford thing. Parcells said he wanted him, but was outvoted? Or did he mean that Jax beat us to the punch? Because Wilford was drafted one spot before Bruce Thornton.

If Parcells meant that he was outvoted in the draft room, then I wonder if Parcells wanted Wilford with the 3rd round pick... Who was the ill-fated Steven Peterman.

[Kittymama]

Don't you folks remember Bilbo? We had him briefly in TC--lots of folks had a field day with "Hobbit" jokes.

[JPM]

I want to know more about this Wilford thing. Parcells said he wanted him, but was outvoted? Or did he mean that Jax beat us to the punch? Because Wilford was drafted one spot before Bruce Thornton.

Didn't Jacksonville move up to get Wilford ?

[wileedog]

Interesting.

Throw in that BP supposedly went against everyone's wishes on Rogers the pick before, and maybe you have a "lets make a deal" scenario.

[dallasfan]

Yeah, i agree, and i dont like houston signing pepper, since we play them this year,

maybe we can get one of their players before we play them.

But whom is Bilbo?

Yeah I'm pretty sure he can help exploit our blitz schemes:laugh2:

The man was a NT, him playing for us will have no bearing on the game.

[cowboyjoe]

What i heard about wilford, parcells really wanted him, and he stated that in the draft room, when cowboys were drafting, but as you know, we got thornton,

now if that meant jacksonville beat us to the punch or parcells wanted him in the 3rd round, parcells didnt eliberate on that, just stated that he wanted him, but didnt get him

[BrAinPaiNt]

It was Wilford Rich. BP said he wanted him.


I remember him in College.

We, WVU, were beating VT and the VT bench was in chaos.

Wilford said something to Coach Beamer and Beamer smacked him upside the head (think Wilford still had his helmet on).

Than Wilford stomped off and did not want to talk to coach beamer on the sidelines even though Beamer was trying (or looked like he was trying) to apologize.

[AbeBeta]

Interesting.

Throw in that BP supposedly went against everyone's wishes on Rogers the pick before, and maybe you have a "lets make a deal" scenario.

Going against Lacewell's wishes might seem a pretty good draft strategy to most people.

[Doomsday101]

Noone addresses the Skyler Green at RB thing....

superpunk gets angry....

Skyler was a multi-purpose player at LSU. He worked as a kick returner, punt returner, WR and yes was even lined up at RB at times. I think Skyler could develop into a 3rd down specialist as well as a kick returner at least I think that is what BP is hoping for.

[Sam I Am]

Yeah, i agree, and i dont like houston signing pepper, since we play them this year,

Eh? When exactly do we play Houston?

[AbeBeta]

Eh? When exactly do we play Houston?

10/15. And of course, likely again in the Superbowl

[Chocolate Lab]

Didn't Jacksonville move up to get Wilford ?
ESPN shows that they traded with Baltimore for that pick...

I was curious about Parcells being outvoted because I didn't get to hear that part of the PC, so I wasn't clear on what BP really said...

If he wanted Wilford but Jax beat us, fine. If he was outvoted, maybe that's not so good.

Or maybe after Jacob Rogers, BP should've been outvoted. ;)

Sklyer gonna play some RB skyler playing rb!!!! he fumbled a punt now they want him to be a rb!!!!

[cowboyjoe]

he didnt eloberate too much, just stated that he wanted him when they were drafting, and didnt get him,

[AbeBeta]

skyler playing rb!!!! he fumbled a punt now they want him to be a rb!!!!

OMG! He fumbled a punt! How can we put the ball in his hands ever again!

[Yakuza Rich]

I thought that Wilford was the best of the bunch, didn't know he had a case of the "dropsies"........

KC Joyner had him down for 13 dropped passes. Joyner has him down for leading the league in percentage of catchable passes dropped at nearly 20%

That means that last year Wilford was good for about 1 dropped pass per 5 catchable passes thrown his way.


YAKUZA

[Sam I Am]

10/15. And of course, likely again in the Superbowl

I scanned that stupid schedule 3 times after I read that and didn't see it. :bang2:

[Gadfly22]

BP tends to think of present players in terms of past players who have played well for him or other coaches. (And that's not in any way a criticism.)

I think BP thinks of Green as a potential new Dave Meggett. And Meggett was an undersized 3rd down RB, not a receiver. Since Green wasn't excelling at WR, I think BP is just trying to find a spot for him where he can use his talents (quickness and elusiveness) to his best advantage.

[Sam I Am]

Someone is slacking! Where is my recap! :shoot4:

[cowboyjoe]

What scrares me though is this
parcells said that he wants to play gurode sunday due to jacksonville big DT's.

However he did say that gurode had problems again monday, as well as you all know in minny game. If gurode keeps doing that, goofing up, he will get our QB killed.

Granted Al Johnson cant handle big DT's or NTs but al's strength is the 4-3, against their linebackers


He also said that he knew where he was with free safety with keith davis, but he wanted to see how pat watkins plays, and he stated- parcells that watkins gave up a deep touchdown today in pratice.

if im not mistaken on the touchdown that was caught against newman, watkins was back there, but not in position. So, parcells said he is trying to see where watkins is, not to get stage fright like most of them do on first NFL live game in regular season, before he announces whom his starting free safety is.

[sacase]

Um I think he is running RB because they got rid of Kincade and they need a Practice Team Running back.

[Doomsday101]

Um I think he is running RB because they got rid of Kincade and they need a Practice Team Running back.

He also lined up at RB in college. The guy was a jack of all trades at LSU so I think there could be more to this that just needing a body at RB on the practice squad

[DBoys]

Going against Lacewell's wishes might seem a pretty good draft strategy to most people.

:lmao2:

[tomson75]

Does anyone know if Roshi will bless us with a recap today?

[Sam I Am]

Does anyone know if Roshi will bless us with a recap today?
Apparently we've been banished to a no-recap-fiery hell...

[DBoys]

You can always listen to the audio :)

[Chuck 54]

Skyler Green

You guys need to relax on the crazy notions about Green at RB...it's not because they think he'll be a good option at RB someday, fellas.

Green was drafted for 1 reason, to return punts and kicks. He messed up and showed he wasn't really ready to be trusted there. He's on the freakin' practice squad.

Why do you think most players that are cut remain on the same team's practice squad? Only a few sign elsewhere because most aren't going to play for anyone. The practice squad isn't to hide your future great players...it does have a developmental aspect, but it's also for practice!!!And you like to have guys who know your system and who have shown you they can work with you.

Teams need these guys so they don't beat up all the backups. When our first team D is practicing, do you think they are running JJ or Barber against them? Even Thompson isn't going to run all day long...Skyler Green wasn't put on the practice squad to learn the WR position. We brought him back with the hope that maybe he'll become the return guy we thought he was when we drafted him...he's going to be used as a RB in practice because we don't have another RB on the squad...period. If he has any talent there, then someday he may be a return man who can provide depth at RB and WR.

Don't think for a minute this is some divine plan and that you're going to see him at RB at any point in the next few years for Dallas.

[Prancer]

Parcells press conference 9/6/06
By Grizz
Posted on Wed Sep 06, 2006 at 02:00:41 PM EST

Thomas Johnson is going to the active roster at Houston. Damarius Bilbo will replace him on the practice squad. Skyler Green will be working at RB some.

Bradie James, Flozell Adams and Mike Vanderjagt are all listed as questionable. All practiced today.

Andre Gurode had mental mistakes on Monday and against Minnesota last week, but I'm hoping to resolve it this week. We need him this week against the big DT's at Jax. Some times the game would move too fast for Andre in the past, but he's gotten past that. He's just making minor errors now, something the layman might not recognize.

Strength of Jax defense is the middle, it's hard to move them.

We might dress 7 OL, 11 of our 16 opponents dressed only 7 OL last year. Belicheck has only dressed 8 OL 3 times in 5 years. But you've got to have versatile linemen.

No decision on Keith Davis and Pat Watkins. I'm worried about him (Watkins) getting stage fright the first time out there. That's why we played him so much in the preseason.

Terrell Owens is doing pretty good, I've been talking to him about how he feels. He hasn't had any problems since he returned to practice. He's accelerating his progress. I hope he can be a full weapon on Sunday, stamina is a big thing. It's going to be difficult on the players because of the weather.

Julius is going to start at RB and we'll see if we can get him some holes. We can do a better job running the ball, but it wasn't a disaster in preseason.

Bledsoe is competitive, tough, he's taken a physical beating and he's still standing. When I first got him he had bed-hair, dirty t-shirts, all he needed was a peanut butter sandwich and a foot dragged over the couch and he would be like my teeenage daughters. He's matured now, he's grown up, he has his own kids now.

All the vets Bledsoe, Aaron Glenn, Ferguson they all want it more, now.

I tried to draft (Jax WR) Ernest Wilford, our scouts will tell you what I think of him. We did a lot of work on Matt Jones, Reggie Williams I don't know. This Owens (Chad Owens) kid from Hawaii, we have to watch him on special teams, I'm also worried about Maurice Drew in the kicking game.

[Sam I Am]

Thanks Prancer.

[Mr Cowboy]

What 7 does he take........the starting 5 plus Fabini and Proctor or Fabini and Johnson?

Johnson only plays Center............Proctor only plays guard.

[Chocolate Lab]

Johnson only plays Center............Proctor only plays guard.
I think Fabini and Johnson. Parcells was asked the question today and he said that if a guard got hurt, Gurode would go to G and Johnson would come in at C.

For this particular game, I wonder if he might activate McQ, just because Flo is coming off the injury. I guess it depends on how recovered Flo looks.

[Bob Sacamano]

exactly, it's like when BP had Rector playing some CB on the PS last year
