Practice Squad Francis Bernard Waived

[ClappingCarrot]

I was pulling for Bernard hard. Hope he clears waivers.

 

[Risen Star]

Damn... oh well, I hope he makes it to the PS.

I didn't know you were a Steelers fan. Makes sense.

 

[PhillyCowboysFan]

Terrible move. Lee on IR. Gifford hurt too. Are we really going to go into the season with like 4 LB’s. And I would have cut March before Francis

And you make that decision from not attending one practice, not one! I think I’ll take their expertise and experience to make these types of decisions.

 

[blueblood70]

New coaches are sending a message that most of their defenders from 2019 were bad and are cleaning house..i bet they scour the cut and waiver wire and fund a LB or two plus a safety if not ET..

they will not accept bad anymore.. marinelli and Richard sure messed up that defense, isnt it like 60% overturned from last year?

 

[blueblood70]

McCarthy makes everybody earn a spot, nobody is giving anything especially just because you are liked

well Nolan and his assistants maybe ..its about accountability, dont accept garbage anymore..

 

[OmerV]

Yeah Kathy and Frank.

lol. Thanks for the chuckle.

 

[MonsterD]

I was one who really thought he made the team. Interesting even after IR'ing Lee. I suppose this means they like Luke Gifford a lot even though I have not heard his name at all this TC.

Yeah but from everything I've read Benard was playing well.

Lee has to be on the 53 for 1 day at the initial cuts before being moved to IR-return.

Same for any other players that they want to put on IR-return.

When they move Lee and anybody else to IR-return, then they'll sign or re-sign other players.

 

[MonsterD]

Everything is under control. Justin Durant is on his way to Frisco for to visit and hopefully sign.

Maybe they contacted Ro McClain in his tent and asked him to come back.

 

[Runwildboys]

This is what I mean by Dumbo GM. You are counting on veterans on defense that have been either unreliable (suspended) or unavailable(injured) instead of playing young players to develop as starters. Then someone snatch them up from cut or practice squad.

This team will not sniff a NFC Championship game without a reliable, consistent, and play making defense.

You think the GM made this decision, rather than the coach?

 

[Runwildboys]

Yeah Kathy and Frank.

Should've expected someone else to make this connection. lol

sounds like Lee is going to be ready to return in a week and they went the 4 week route of letting him rest with the sports hernia.

 

[America's Cowboy]

So they cut LB Francis Bernard who was tearing it up throughout all of training camp and proving he could not only start but be ready as a backup especially since Sean Lee is starting on IR, but the Cowboys are going to keep 3rd string QB Dinucci on the 53 manned roster even though Dak already has his backup in Andy Dalton?

Using personal favoritism here, McCarthy?

 

[blueblood70]

nope but the jerry haters like to spread that Narrtiove..im sure Nolan first, LB coach second, and then MM were in a pow wow over it and told jerry the GM this is who they had up for releases..jerrys not taking part in any roster decsions other then trades and acquiring new talent but no way is running rouge..he delegates like anyone else..

 

[fivetwos]

sounds like Lee is going to be ready to return in a week and they went the 4 week route of letting him rest with the sports hernia.

Yeah but how much longer before he is hurt again?

Im stunned at Bernard.

Then again, many teams passed on him in the draft multiple times, and they havent been able to see film on him at all since.

Risky to claim him and carry on the 53. I'd think he will make it to PS.

 

[blueblood70]

Yeah but from everything I've read Benard was playing well.

playing well in no tackling practices is different then being a starter game 1, had to be a reason., we are thin there and if the coach isnt seeing enough he released and brought back to the pS if he clears waivers.. some much bigger names being cut all over today..

Not sure how cutting a rookie is sending that message.

 

[BigTimeBlues]

Using personal favoritism here, McCarthy?

Maybe he feels much more confident that FB clears waivers over Dinucci? Just a thought.

 

[blueblood70]

Not sure how cutting a rookie is sending that message.

to other players , fans, and coaches that being below average wont earn you a spot here, just being "ok" will not be tolerated..its obvious to Fans right now there s new staff with new expectations here..
