This is a look at how the Cowboys team might load up in a couple of key areas.
Time for another 53-man roster projection for the Dallas Cowboys, but this time from a different perspective. The team is believed to want to go heavy at a couple of positions to try and make use of the available talent, plus fit what the staff wants to change for this season. This may not be a likely roster, but it is one way to approach things with some explanations for how this all fits together.
Specialists (3)
These are a given again, so let’s get them out of the way.
K Dan Bailey
P Chris Jones
LS L.P. Ladouceur
OFFENSE (25)
Quarterbacks (2)
Dak Prescott
Mike White
This is not what many expect, believing the team will carry three this year. But with the objective (in this particular exercise) of finding some extra spots at key positions, that may just not be in the cards. Cooper Rush could wind up the backup again, but assuming the team would want to try and get either him or White to the PS in this scenario, they would likely be more concerned with protecting White on the 53. Of course, he would have to earn the job in camp/preseason, but that does not seem unlikely given his college background.
Running backs (4)
Ezekiel Elliott
Rod Smith
Bo Scarbrough
Jamize Olawale
This seems a pretty solid bet for numbers. Zeke is going to be the workhorse, Smith is a proven commodity, Scarbrough has a lot of promise, and fullback Olawale has some exciting potential.
Fan-favorite Darius Jackson is a dark horse candidate to push Scarbrough off the 53, hopefully to land on the PS where he could be ready for call-up in an emergency. Being a seventh-round pick hardly makes him untouchable.
