[Htown-Cowboy]

The injury/ practice reports for Dallas and Green Bay. A lot of Cowboys "limited", perhaps all, will suit up to play on Sunday.

Works for me.

 

[Stash]

All hands on deck! It's now or never!

 

[CWR]

No Ty Montgomery, Im assuming they are claiming he is uninjured.

 

[Silver N Blue]

Sunday can not get here quick enough!

Does this mean Collins is 100%?

Thought I heard Micky say he was at practice yesterday

 

[negativecreep]

About darn time we are somewhat healthy this time of year.

If Collins has not been activated to the 53, then he would not be on the report.

There were reports that he replaced Randy Gregory on the 53, but the reports came from sites like Bloggingtheboys.

We know that he was definitely moved from IR to the in between status where he can practice but is not on the 53. Garrett made a comment in his last press conference that sounded as if they were moving him to the 53, but Todd Archer reported that he is still on IR.

They don't really need to put him on the 53 yet because it is highly unlikely that he would be on the 46 man game day roster anyway. They normally only have Looney as the interior backup on game day. If they carry an extra it will likely be Cooper.

Sounds like very little Tapper probability despite hopeful tweets.

The only guy I am worried about is Tyron, we need him to dominate in the playoffs.

 

[Swanny]

If Collins isn't going to be active they should just leave him on IR and bring back Tapper

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

Tyron was always limited for his back

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

I would think Lawrence would be most effective if his snaps were limited. We don't need him on the field for 50 mediocre plays. We need him on the field for 25-30 impactful plays. Same with McClain and Crawford. Just keep the rotation going, it's what has been successful.

Seems like Tapper and Collins are both in the same boat....same period. I think they are just waiting to see who they need the most. Right now, with Looney, Cooper and Cleary healthy, they don't have to rush the call on Collins. Same with Tapper since it looks like we could have everyone back on the DL this week.

They might be better off giving some guy like Jason Jones a spot.

Yep. People need to get over Tapper. At this point, we have 8 trusted D-linemen (Crawford Bros, Irving, D-Law, Thornton, McClain, Collins, Mayowa) and that's who we're rolling with. Gregory looked to be a nice addition to the line but he was always just a tease. Tapper isn't coming in after having been injured all year with no practice and making a contribution. These are the 8 guys we have. Best available free agent out there is Jason Jones and there's no guarantee he'd be any better than the worst of those 8 guys considering he'll have no time to get adjusted to the team. This is our 2017 playoff defense. Get used to it. We can make adjustments next year.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Time for him to seriously step up. We traded up for him and it's playoff time.

 

[d_dub88]

I still wish they had another TE on board for the playoff run. I believe that we have clear advantages over GB's 3-4 up front and should beef to counteract their speed, not that we have to run a lot of plays with 13 personnel or that we couldn't bring in Looney as eligible. While I say this I'm dreaming to see 40+ rushes out our offense.

By the way I want to see Rico but I wouldn't give him his first game in the playoffs.

But Aaron Rodgers just said being healthy and fresh doesn't matter...

“There’s a lot of things that go into it, but you’re a top-seed and you’ve been off for a week,” Rodgers said on a conference call with Cowboys reporters on Wednesday. “There’s added pressure of trying to hold serve at home and there’s the potential rust factor of haven’t played in a few weeks. A lot of starters didn’t play in that last game against Philly. We’re coming off a stretch where we had to win every game for the last seven to keep this thing rolling.

“There’s a lot to be said about momentum and about playoff experience I think.”

1 thing Marinelli has gotten better at as the season has gone on, is TIMING the DLine rotations. In the 1st game against Green Bay, he didn't put Irving out there until the middle part of the 3rd quarter. In 19 snaps Irving forced 3 fumbles, got a sack and batted a pass down against a tired Packers OLine.

In the final 5 game stretch of the season the defense racked up 15 sacks and 10 turnovers, most of these coming in the 2nd half when the the opponent's OLine is getting tired and Irving, Mayowa and others start simply running by them or overpowering them.
