RELEASED Cowboys waiving T Brandon Knight

[john van brocklin]

Does anyone here believe that Nsekhe is better than him?

Has the dude even suited up this year?
He had the heat problem and disappeared.

 

[Stash]

Oh was he playing guard? He just looks like a tackle to me but yeah I actually didn’t know that.

I read that he was getting snaps at guard in training camp and it looked to me like it made him worse at tackle.

Given the lack of offensive line depth throughout the league, it will be interesting to see if he passes through waivers?

I’d have cut Nsekhe first.

Given injuries and roster issues I could see team(s) putting in a claim for Knight . Like someone mentioned the Cowboys have the likes of Josh Ball Mitch Hyatt on the lay away plan at some point you churn the roster .

Outside of having more experience Nsekhe did nothing cement a roster spot.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Get ready for some more cuts after the bye week next week.

Gallup, Joseph, Gallimore and Armstrong are soon to come back from injuries.

Collins will be back from his 5 game suspension as well.

This is more of a numbers game as players return from IR.
I don’t think Knight was all as bad as some make him out to be. But we knew this when cutting down to the initial 53 it would be a good problem to have. Who you you release, before injuries happened.

The staff liked him and kept him on the roster for several years. So he either did not develop like they planned or thought. And it being a numbers game for the roster.

I hope he clears and gets back to the PS. But then what is that saying if he is not claimed. I wonder if they tried to trade him at all.

Tyron Smith must be good to go.

Odd timing with Collins still out.

 

[darthseinfeld]

A two year deal for Ralston sounds good to me. They must like him as I do.

Good roster utility. Played all over the place in college and will play alot on ST

And hopefully add more versatility and physicality to the running game.

I could see him being used alot in GL. We like to run mostly single back. However he did play TE in college, and we like motion, so that could be something we play with in the future

Just means Smith and Nsehke are good to go

 

[Zekeats]

Dude was worse than Steele last season.

He was a decent backup to the backup. Not a bad emergency guy.

the coaches do and thats all i need to know so yes..they were correct on steele so why not..?

 

[ghst187]

Man there was a time when I thought he would develop into a viable swing tackle.

yep me too

I read that he was getting snaps at guard in training camp and it looked to me like it made him worse at tackle.

Yeah Nsekhe…don’t like bringing in a 36 year old swing tackle. Makes no sense to me.

I think they thought they were getting another Cam Fleming/Cam Erving. But Nsekhe looked shot. And that was before his recent episode.

I thought Knight did not have a particularly good camp and preseason. I thought he would improve over last year.

My guess is that the Cowboys need the roster spot to save a player from getting poached from the PS. The Cowboys have some good players on the PS. I believe both Farniok, Braylon Jones, and Alarcon all outplayed Knight in camp and preseason.

Exactly.....across the board.

 

[fivetwos]

Well it was no secret we were going to be in a bit of a numbers crunch spot before long....

But I'm actually gaining confidence that the team is doing the right thing.

It's been a while since I've felt that way.

Here's where we find hope.....Steele looked like crap in preseason also.....especially on the left side.

Tyron just can't go down. He can't.
