Even with Gregory and Quinn out he's inactive. You can pretty much stick a fork in him at this point.

Considering how he played in the dress rehearsal game, I don't think we would bench him for no reason. Based on that game, he's either our second- or third-best pass-rushing end available right now.

I presume now we'll play some combination of Crawford, Hyder and Armstrong at that spot Sunday. Hyder is the only one who has impressed me as a pass rushing end.

Ankle probably still bothering him.
That is just as much of a logical explanation than speculating on a trade.

If they wanted to make a trade, I don't see why they would have played roster gymnastics at the final cuts and just do it then.

Taco is the kind of player we avoid drafting under Mcclay,not great athletically and a 1 year wonder.This is all Marinellis fault.
No, the All Great All Knowing McClay signed off on it. It is ultimately his fault for allowing Marinelli to convince him.

This was an organizational decision to take him. Just like the decision to take Hill this year.

I wish Marinelli would just stay out of the draft room hope he retires pretty soon
They should lock Marinelli and the entire Jones family in a fake war room, have random Cowboys interns answer the phones for their bad trade ideas, and show the draft broadcast on a 45-minute delay.

Don't forget how edge rusher TJ Watt was not a fit for our scheme.

The only reasonable explanation is that the Cowboys are already in serious trade talks with another team.

Serious trade talks? Are we haggling for a day three pick?

We have heard this same song and dance before. Jones is dangling this talent, yet amazingly, nobody wants it.

Even with Gregory and Quinn suspended Taco can't make the active roster. I hope some other team is desperate and trades for him.

That isn't it. If and again IF there is some serious trade going down the Cowboys won't chance him getting injured by playing him and then the trade falling apart. I just don't see with 2 DE's not available why they would at this time even be considering trading him now.

Forgot he was even on the team. Amazing how I heard some say he was going to break out this year. LOL
It's sad that, even when you're right, you're not worth reading.
