Very odd move. I thought Silva had something.

Yep.

I'm sure that was a key factor in the decision. The risk of him being claimed is still there, but lower than for some others.

Gotta admit, I thought Silva had potential. He'll probably clear waivers though.

No doubt, Cowboys are not doing this for the heck of it. Jones took a big hit on that leg and there is no way we can go into Monday game without a punter. I don't think this is long term but it is a must that we bring someone in.

Silva was #53?

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.

How about they just cut the damn punter to bring in another punter. No one is going to claim a banged up Chris Jones so they can bring him back when he is healthy. But now they are giving a precious roster spot to an injured punter who really isn't anything special anyways ang getting even thinner at Safety. It's kind of hard to comprehend.

Does not shock me...I never saw what so many claimed they saw in him. Looked like somewhat who could not locate the ball in the air to me. Never wanted to say anything, because there were way too many other holes on the team for me to get bent out of shape on the 4th safety.

If Chris Jones is hurt, how about putting him on IR or releasing him? I'm not sure there's a huge demand around the league for gimpy punters.

Despite labeling myself a "realist", no one understands my pain or appreciates my special truth. Stupid world.

That is your opinion. Dallas likes Jones and sees him as their long term punter according to reports this move is likely only for a couple of weeks. As for Jones being just avg? he has done an excellent job not sure what games you are watching. Silva is eligible for the PS this is a big reason why they made this move.

Because it is not what they think is a long term issue. You may not respect the job he does but the Cowboys do.

Well obviously he wasn't getting the job done. Looks like that guy we signed will have a bigger role after all.

If he clears waivers.

I think they're trying to play with a 54-man roster and may get burned here.

He's done such a good job that in two games he has had a punt blocked for a TD and another that should have been blocked in which he got hurt and is now costing the team a roster spot. He appears to be a step or two slow and that gives the other team a chance to go after the block. I just don't see anything special about him other than he only costs the 2nd year minimum. There have to be 5 or 6 guys available at any time that are just as good as him. No one is going to claim him while he is hurt and carry two punters and thats my main point. He can be brought back when healthy. There is more chance of Silva being claimed than Jones. I just don't get their thinking.
