BTB: Dallas Cowboys Roster/IR/PS 2014: ***Current as of Sep3***

[Idgit]

You and me both.

It's weird that we're trying Hawkins at OT and essentially have five of them and then we cut Jemea Thomas who could conceivably play either CB or S for us in a pinch. Especially when we also have Martin who could play OT at a fairly high level in a pinch. If we somehow traded Parnell or something at cut downs, I'd understand making the extra roster room, but I'm not sure what's going on there, otherwise.

I guess that boils down to trusting a scout department and running with the ball when they place an order on merit.

 

[Cumart21]

Let's try to remember that Williams missed the final preseason game because he was hurt. A common theme for this guy.

 

[AbeBeta]

I'm not a big Beasley fan, but its not hard to see why he's on the team. He's a popular underneath target.

Romo looks for him. That is huge. Tony can run either hot or cold on receivers. When he has a near immediate connection with a guy it is rare.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

I think they could trade him. I would say he would at least be worth 2 firsts, 1 second, and 4 thirds.

Just give him away whydontcha!

Not sure what the thinking is. Could be just cross-training a backup since we like them to be able to play multiple positions. Could be that Weems is still not healthy.

Did we get Wetzel back for the practice squad?

OK, I see that we did, but Wetzel is listed as a guard. Goes back to the cross-training thing, I believe.
