Recommended Cowboys Raiders joint practice today (8/13)

So the DL had Wilber at DE, and that line was getting push. Interesting as I thought he was pegged at Sam?

Durant could play Sam, McClain at Mike and Carter at Will. Wilber may be better used at WDE (as part of a rotation) with no Ware now. I was thinking that myself before camp. He can also back up the Sam LB spot and maybe that saves a roster spot for another position.

Nickel pass rusher. Sam elsewhile.

So Romo is off on a few plays in one day of training camp and people are concerned and even comparing him to Brad Johnson? Seriously, crap like this is why I stopped posting here for a while.

Didn't exactly say that. Only said the tweets almost sounded like Brad Johnson. Big difference.

Whooo I'm getting my direct tv tomorrow!!!! So I'm gonna be able to catch the Ravens game! I'm hungry for football!!!

Interesting. I have heard all kinds of reports that Durant has been very good this TC.

I have read some reports saying the same thing. Durant seems like he came to play.

Also, I wonder if experimenting during TC and practices, if the Coaches are looking for ways to use a player at a different position to confuse the other team and to get good rush angles from different places?

I'm not going to count this defense out just yet.

DE Ben Gardner, a seventh-round pick, is expected to use 2014 as a redshirt season. The Cowboys likely to place him on IR.

@lancelahnert The Cowboys will have to make a decision on Dustin Vaughan. They love the kid. I think they'll keep three on the 53.

i wont be surprised either,they should just keep the the most talented players regardless of position this season.

This is ignorant

I can't remember if Gardner even practiced yet? If not, maybe he would be eligible for the PUP. PUP would be better than IR and we could always put him on IR after 6 weeks.

This would be tremendously stupid on a team that will be carrying several injured DL according to our GM.

Just stop playing him the rest of the preseason and hope in month scouts forget about him.

He has practiced.

Unless a player is injured in the offseason and you never hear a thing about him once camp begins, he might be PUP eligible.

But I still think a lot of people are confused about the PUP and think it is a way to circumvent IR. It is not.

It means the player was injured in the offseason, did nothing but off the practice field work.

He's the Kyle Kosier of our current LB corps.

This article from him from earlier in the summer was great, if you haven't seen it already.

I don't know that it's stupid keeping a young QB in the pipeline that you feel has the skills to groom.

It's what begot Tony Romo.

Granted it's a longshot, but so was Romo.

So, Wade Wilson recommends this player is so good we cannot afford to expose him to waivers?

At least with Romo, we had Parcells, Payton and David Lee around putting in their two cents.

Still feel the same way?

Understood but if you don't trust your staff to make these determinations then what the hell are we doing?

Are you really asking this question?

It looks like the team is determined to give McClain the starting MLB spot. Carter looked the best of the three starters to me in the preseason game. Wilber looked pretty shaky tbh. It was like he didn't know what he was looking at and it was giving him fits. His strength last year was taking on blocks at the point of attack in the run game and there he just wilted when a block came at him.

Maybe Durant can play some sam or just rotate them. He would make sense as a super sub.
