Training Camp with Taco Interview

Blackthorn said:

Hey, I get why the Cowboys released him. Taco has the unique chance to prove the Cowboys wrong and he is correct. Taco just has to beat T Smith or L Collins come Sunday. May Taco rest in peace. Go Dallas!!!

Taco is not a Cowboy. Can this be moved to the NFL zone?

The OP doesn't even offer any novel take. Just dumping on a player who, again, is no longer with us.

We like Tacos in the Fan Zone. Especially the soft ones, with extra sour cream.

Pretty sure he can.

Teams regularly make a move on a Saturday to bring a player up ahead of a game. How is this different?

Everything I've seen said he would've had to have been on the roster Wednesday. What you're talking about I believe is for practice squad players which probably have different rules. AB couldn't play in the Pats first game and they signed him on Saturday

Not in his rookie year.

This was a little video interview with Taco in the locker-room about 5 weeks ago (Aug 11th).

It's fairly obvious why he failed, IMO.

Paraphrasing some of his comments:
0:48
(Some player in the background blurts out) "I like you Taco" after Taco had repeated multiple times that "they" don't like me cuz they didn't like me from the beginning (referring to fans and the twitter universe).

Taco thinks the player was laughing with him, but I think the player might have been laughing at him, but it does not matter, just my opinion.

2:50
(Talking about DLaw)...I follow what he do this summer...but last year I didn't get to play no left...but this year I get to play some on that side...hopefully I get back to what I did on that side my rookie year... 3 sacks.

3:20
Last year I didn't get to pass rush. That was Randy's job. I was a run stopper...I played base end...then Randy would come in and rush the passer...I had more of a responsibility to pass rush my rookie year...and I had 3 sacks.

But Lawrence did not start off like that- hell many on this board thought Lawrence was a bust!

Use yer brain.

If a player is on the 53 man roster he is eligible to play. He'd have a roster exemption otherwise.

Fins had to release a player to claim Taco.

All logic says you are wrong

Does it matter? Lawrence did have 2 sack fumbles in the playoffs his rookie year though

Good thing he got the second or he would've been remembered for his fumble.

I never claimed anything. I said everything I've seen says....

That still doesn't explain why AB couldn't play in the Patriots first game as you said teams make moves all the time on Saturdays and the players play.
