If they moved TCrawford back to 3T then

DE- DLaw, Taco, Armstrong, RGregory, Tapper

DT- TCrawford, MCollins, Woods, Price, DJones

Susp- D Irving(cut Tapper)

Lol silly rabbits. Don’t matter if Ward can play. Marinelli likes him so he stays. Lol

blueblood70 · Aug 22, 2018

Price is not on the bubble.. I say he for sure makes the team..they like him and befoe his injury he played well enough for me to notice as well..

Damn hate to lose any the bubble guys on the list but my 4th DT would be Jones. Said many times, other than DLaw, he was probably our best DL the last 2-3 games last year. If they keep 10, I probably also go with Price and Tapper.

Keep in mind, Ward is a Martinelli's personal favorite which may give him a bit of an edge.....

Seen where Jason said don't expect to see Jones anytime soon.
IMO, Could be an IR guy if he does not return by cut down day.

If only 9, then remove Tapper, as Crawford can kick outside if needed.

Jones may go to IR if he is not back to practice by cut down day. Garrett said do not expect to see him any time soon.
Also would not be surprised if Woods goes to PS since Crawford has been moved back inside. It will be a numbers game, as to keep 9 or 10, which depends on how many RB's, Wr's, TE's and even QB's are kept.

Ealy or Tapper would be the last DE out, but Tapper is younger and more update, Ealy a one year deal, and have not heard his name all TC. But really ave not heard about Tapper either.

The other question is, who goes when Irving returns, possibly Tapper. Unless another position is reduced.
Also do not be surprised if they keep only 8 DL. They did a few years back when DLaw and Irving both were suspended.

I think this is about right. It's a shame that Ward couldn't step up his play - he had a great opportunity to get a roster spot in Dallas.

Ward was out there in the 4th quarter of the 2nd preseason game. So was Price. That is usually a hint that one is on the bubble. To Price's credit, he actually played well in the 4th quarter. Ward did not, as far as I recall. I would guess Ward will be cut.

The only thing I saw Ward do was to get a 15-yard penalty that kept a Bengals scoring drive alive.

We traded away a kid whom I REALLY LIKED in Ryan Switzer for this Ward guy.... I hate some of the moves we make honestly.

I doubt Switzer would have made the cut at WR for the Cowboys this year.

TheCoolFan · Aug 22, 2018

Yeah, Ward has been a disappointment. He's done and so is Ealy.

Yeah, I noticed that and thought that was the icing on the cake for him getting cut. Playing against 4th quarter preseason scrubs and picking up a 15 yd penalty. I think he picked up an offsides penalty the week before.

I think it will be Ward and Jones to get to 9. Personally I think Jones is a lock. If Irving does make it back it will be intresting to see what they do next. There is some talent in this group.

Speaking of IR......bit confused. How many players can a team IR with return designation in a season? For some reason, I have 3 on my head.

That is my thought, with Datone Jones stashed on IR.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't Jones have to be on the opening 53 before he could go to IR with a return designation?

I can't help but to think that Jihad Ward will be the guy who keeps Irving's seat warm for if and when he comes back, barring injuries elsewhere.

I feel like Price is a lock. I would have said Datone was as well, but now with his injury, that opens the door for Ward, who hasn’t impressed me at all since the pads came on.

Initially I thought they might try to get a low round conditional pick for Tapper, but with the move of Crawford to back to DT, they might be trying to find a way to keep Tapper, still keeping 5 DEs, and ditch Ward. Either way I think the last DL kept will either be Ward or Tapper who I think will be on the chopping block as soon as Dino is ready to come back.

They removed the IR Return tag last season. You can bring 2 players back, but do not have to designate which ones.
Unless they changed it back.

I think they can place Jones on IR at anytime, if projected longer than a 6 week recovery.
If less than 6 weeks, then making the 53 first applies, but not even sure of that. Could be at cut down, they can place him on IR, but will need to be on it the 6 or 8 weeks regardless.

Not sure what all those rules are anymore. Seem to change often.

Who they will keep on the DLine
