Twitter: Cowboys release WR Dennis Houston UPDATE: joins Practice Squad

[visionary]

The only question is which of Houston or Ridgeway will win the SB before we do?

 

[Redsfan_83]

Cleaering a roster spot for Cedric Wilson I heard

 

[Kingofholland]

Looks like Michael Gallup is ready. Could also be clearing a roster spot for Jason Peters.

It's probably Peters

 

[Jarntt]

Good news. Means Gallup back or at least close. Or May need McKeon more? Houston is a jag. Hopefully we put hIm on the practice squad. Maybe he develops into something down the road.

How can you be that far off in your talent evaluation??

More disturbing that he beat out Tolbert for last WR spot.

And quite convincingly at that.

He's a rookie UDFA receiver. What he is now may not be what he is tomorrow. The fact that he showed some potential may mean he eventually carves out a niche in this league.

Dallas felt he might could help the team while Gallup was out and thinks it might can get him to the PS now that Gallup is back. This isn't an issue of being off in talent evaluation as far as Houston goes. He was a fill-in who needs work before he can possibly be more than that.

Now, cutting him doesn't say anything flattering about Tolbert or Fehoko, who he was playing ahead of.

 

[gimmesix]

Likely they will look to add Houston to PS.
Simi Fehoko's ballon has been losing air too.

But they could have still kept Houston with Gallup returning ?
I thought t could it be more about Tolbert getting back into the mix.. but if Tolbert had hamstring issues, it wasn't made this serious.

If we're going to bring up Peters, then we have to clear space. Or it might be McKeon with Schultz sidelined for at least a couple of games.

Houston should have been on Cowboys PS to start season anyway.

Cowboys should have poached Malik Turner from Niners PS instead. Turner already familiar with our offense and showed high upside late last season when given reps in regular games.

 

[john van brocklin]

That was quick. Won't be surprised to see him end up on the practice squad.

RUE!!!!!
LET'S GO!!!

 

[john van brocklin]

Houston likely going to the practice squad unless he's poached off waivers like Ridgeway.

Well, we can't keep everyone...
Gallup up.
Somebody had to get cut.

They aren't. He will be on the PS quickly.

I liked his play in NFL action.

Gallup was already on 53.

Likely Peters and/or McKeon being the call ups.

 

[Pass2Run]

It's the Eagles turn, but I think their stocked up at WR.

We are too. I just don't see us releasing Fehoko.

Signs point to the Cowboys' FO and coaching staff liking him.

Fehoko is better ST player than Houston.

 

[Sheepherder]

Gallup, Tolbert or maybe both will be playing on Monday Night?

Would somebody please tell me who the slot reciever is going to be or is this like alot of things around here, one of those unknowns.

 

[Toro9]

Color me surprised if there such a tint.

Waived is the real deal though. Someone might pick him up. We might lose him like we lost Ridgeway....

I really don't care that much.

 

[Ekspozed]

I'm sure the giants will pick him up tomorrow. .

CeeDee runs over 50% of his plays from the slot.
The WRs are likely going to be:
CeeDee, Noah Brown then Gallup/Fehoko

Houston got 14 WR snaps last week and that seems about the snap count they'd keep Gallup to this week.

The roster spot is likely Peters and as they hope to swap Peters current PS spot for Houston.
Question is do they start him at LT and move Tyler to LG or just let him cover swing for now.

Do some thinking maybe, smart guy...he didn't make a bunch of really special plays in camp. He had some early on injury, yet with opportunity now in full blown presence, he isn't receiving his own movement papers and called to make formation. What, you waiting for the liquor store guy to cough and let loose the observation?

Dallas Official Site had comments that expanded upon this on a tape, or are you waiting for the Queens Funeral Parade to make it by your street as well?

Waiting for a silver spoon...or to earn his opportunities?

Just say you never played football past junior high. He should've learned his assignments by now. Every other WR in the past 10 years of running this offense knew the plays except for this guy. He's not the QB he should know the offense, getting hurt has nothing to do with learning where he's supposed to be.
