Default Cornerback moves

Alright we have the starters: Terrance and Anthony
Nickelbacks: Aaron and Pete
These four guys are locks the question is will we keep five or six? Who gets in between Lance Frazier, Bruce Thorton and Jacque Reeves. We haven't seen Thorton and Lance is small but he competes Reeves was raw but has nice speed and he's 6'2 I've heard maybe theirs a move to FS and Reeves was mentioned but with the signing of Reese that maybe not an option now.

I've said right along we keep six. I think you almost have too due to injuries and the pass-happy nature of the league.

I think Frazier and Reeves make the team. Thornton goes on the practice squad.

I don't know if Hunter is a lock at this point. He's a 5th round pick who'll be in his 4th year and hasn't done much to date. I know the injury set him back last year but IMO he's on equal footing with Bruce Thornton, Jacques Reeves and Lance Frazier.

Isn't Law headed for Detroit?

Thornton :

Had ACL during season - Same as Petey and its very rare to come back 100% with less than a year recovery.

Nors, Thornton suffered his injury during the same month that Law broke his foot. Even though the injuries are unrelated, why should I place as much trust in the recovery period of one over the other?

I forgot about Nate ( Jones) he's got some quicks. And I agree about the assessment above talking about them as our 5th or 6th CBs is impressive

ACL's - I'm just calling that Hunter and Thornton will be hard pressed to be 100% this year. Both guys are scrubs.

Law if healthy is a stud. Risk reward sign.

Ty's injury was so severe he hasn't even been able to work out for a team yet.

Old folks don't heal as fast, Nors.

Whereas Hunter an Thornton are rarin to go.

After last year, we keep 6. The competition for the last 2 spots is between Lance Frazier, Bruce Thorton and Jacque Reeves. It may come down to special teams play. If any of the 7 gets hurt, the rest is your 6.

This is a team who is battling several major injuries to
key players including Pro Bowl talents like Lee, Austin, Jenkins, Murray,
Carter and Ratliff. Other key starters missing include Costa, Smith, Church and
Coleman. That is 11 key players - that's half the starting lineup. Yet we still went 8-8.

Rarin to go? Thats What McGahee's agent said - 2 years later his player was ready. Hunter and Thornton will be at risk to make team, be PUP'd or IR'D. You don't come back 9 months from that injury. Raring not....


Law is running, chances he is a Cowboy rise day by day.....

I don't believe either of those is true.
