These are camp bodies who are getting a chance to be seen by either Dallas or other teams.
It's great opportunity.
Our snapper is set, but you can't have him wearing himself out doing 100% of the reps.

At some point you would like to find someone that doesn't cost you a million a year to snap the ball.

Interesting that Robbie Rouse was not even a priority UDFA for any team. Some people wanted to draft him in the 4th round if I recall correctly.

I got a feeling people are going to be talking about that Cal Lutheren receiver come next Monday.

MOUSY ROUSY!!!!!!

I thought he was with the Vikings.

Guess not. I think teams are really down on his very small stature.

I'm pulling for Adrien Spencer, cornerback from Bowling Green. Heaven knows the Cowboys need some CB backups, and I'd love to see my alma mater put a guy on the squad.

I think that is actually a position we don't need a backup at.

BW WEbb and Sterling Moore is our 4th & 5th guy. I'll take that all day.

:laugh2:

Don't blame you. I'd be pulling for him too.

After the draft though, Dallas now has four CBs locked in. And if you add Sterling Moore, that makes 5. They may rotate Moore to FS though.

oops/ Just noticed Catch beat me to it.

We need a long snapper for the rookie mini-camp, vets are not allowed to participate.

WR Anthony Amos from MTS father & uncle played high school football with my brother & 2 cousins. He put up good numbers for MTS. I hope he does well!

I'll take it, but I'll stay up at night worrying about our 6th and 7th positions.
