Twitter: Cowboys re-signing Efe Obada to practice squad

[CowboyChris]

with Kellen Moore, 17, and Matt Cassell 16, this will be the first time Since Clint Stoerner started back in 2001 than the back ups wore 16 & 17.

whats the significance of that?

Yay!!! Pet cat still purring!

easier to find in the program?????

Not even that Dez would be back before the 8 weeks. He need people ready to go when healthy. I think the front office did great considering the options

Yeah, and their willingness to use it on Romo's injury when they wouldn't for Dez's shows what they think of their chances to return before 8 weeks.

I didn't know that Kellen Moore was dropped from the practice squad. I'm happy they brought Obada back. But, it must have been a tough week for Kellen Moore. He goes from thinking he will be elevated to the roster after romo's injury to being dumped from the PS.

Or did they move Moore to the 53-man roster and will carry 3 QBs: Weeden, Cassel, and Moore?

kellen moore did get elevated

I wonder if he was still in Dallas (or even stateside) when he got the call or if he was back in England offloading trucks.

So there is a one player limit of designated to return IR?

Yes.

A little trivia. Also that was the last time we were so desperate at the QB position. Quincy Carter and Ryan Leaf were those two troubled souls. Not that Cassel and Moore are troubled souls, but they're less than optimal at QB play.

I thought for some reason he was a shoe-in for the practice squad because of a foreign exemption or something. Guess not.

Exactly, what the Efe is going on here??

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Efe!!! No way I wouldn't give this guy another year.

Was the double negative intentional or not? I cannot tell.

He was a tough cut because he has immense physical ability, but needs time.

He is a raw football player with super athletic skills
The perfect PS player
He may never be anything, most ps players never develope but the athletic ability he has is sure worth trying
They can cut Gus when romo comes back and send Moore back to ps

 

[Roadtrip635]

Glad to hear he's back on the PS. He's got the physical tools, needs some time and coaching.

Gus Johnson's already been cut from the ps

And now he's back

I wondered after the pre-season if Efe' didn't just want to go back to England for a break for awhile......young kid,was a big change for him here....I'm sure he missed his family etc. It might've been even arranged for him to get a few weeks break and then go back at the NFL

 

[remdak]

And now he's back

Thanks. Didn't know that tidbit

I didn't think he had family. He was a foster kid I believe and lived in the streets for a spell. I cant believe he worked at a warehouse and lived in London. London makes NY real estate sound cheap!

At that age it isn't too hard to find places to crash or co-habitate.

Anyone in the Dallas area willing to sponsor a young athlete?
