Signed by Cowboys Cowboys trade for OLB Elliott

[Idgit]

Another masterstroke of genius from Will McClay.

You know that these are bottom-roster moves that all teams make, right?

 

[Carson]

He was the Packers top ST tackler so that's a big part of his role too.

I expect we'll IR Rico to make room

Looks solid on special teams. Can definitely get after the passer in situations.

I see a very Gachkar role for him ... ST guy who can take snaps when needed.

 

[Ranching]

I like where your stinkin' mind's at, bro. Played DE in college.

Just to be clear. Elliott played DE in college, or did you play DE iin college?

Yeah this looks like a ST move, too.

Don't much care about the bottom two, three guys on the roster either way, but I do like that Garrett likes to churn those spots. I think it sets a good tone going into week one that jobs aren't safe.

 

[Risen Star]

Elliott.

I played all over the field in a freak hybrid position.

 

[Manwiththeplan]

Maybe for when the courts insist Elliott has to serve a suspension.

It's simple, give them both #21.

 

[Ranching]

Elliott.

I played all over the field in a freak hybrid position.

Lol, Freak is a great description.

 

[haleyrules]

. Pointless. Won't remember his first name by the end of the season.

 

[Idgit]

Elliott.

Whoever needed water. Wherever they needed it. Freakish hydration skills.

Oh, so you are saying it is not a masterstroke of genius because all teams do it?

 

[Ranching]

[jrumann59]

This is just to sell more jerseys. Zekes jersey will now have to read Z. Elliott.

NFL did away with that rule

 

[AbeBeta]

Yeah this looks like a ST move, too.

It's a nice combo - pass rusher who plays on the coverage units. You need that flex when you won't have two of the LBs that dress play ST

 

[Bowdown27]

I like the move. More depth at lb/de.

 

[DFWJC]

Maybe for when the courts insist Elliott has to serve a suspension.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

He'll be a pass-rushing RDE specialist on 3rd downs. Too light otherwise and isn't fit for Will. He has a good sack ratio per pass rush attempt. That's his gig. I'd probably cut ties with Mayowa to make room. I'd be nervous if I was Tapper, too.

Didn't Mayowa lead the team in sacks last year? When he was healthy and the last month of the season he was arguably our best DE

Mayowa was our sack leader last season. Only DE tonget consistent pressure late in the year.

 

[revospeed]

Dekoda Watson-esque move.

 

[Carson]

From watching some plays and highlights, it seems most of plays come from being unblocked.

Tough break kid. In Dallas, you get 5 hall of fame lineman blocking you every week!! You get held, illegally blocked and facemask pulled on every play

 

[MrMom]

A better version of Wilber. I like it.
