Twitter: Cowboys waive two, Durant to IR, Orie Lemon returns

[Machete]

I know Lee is done but is Carter also done for the year?

Jury is till out on Carter. He suffered a new injury against the packers.

It's crazy how 5 of our 7 day one starters from the front 7 alone may be on IR.

Glad to see Lemon back, confused to see Nevis go. Seemed like an active body on the line.

I'll second that.

I liked Nevis too.

I disagree. Even if Carter returns and Lee "might" be done for the year, we are short more bodies there. The Durant injury hurts.

At least at DB, Claiborne could return and Moore appears to be doing okay. Linebacker play is what killed us as much as anything against Green Bay.

LB play killed us for sure, but no more so than anything else. Other than a couple nice plays from Moore, the whole defense failed in the second half. I mean, we could definitely use help at LB, but from what I can tell, there's no better chance that Mo plays than Carter, and the staff seems to have lost faith in Webb. And maybe they looked at available LB's and decided they were no better than what they had.

Confused about the Nevis cut as well, I know he's not the next Leon Lett but I didn't see anything to warrant him from getting cut from this team.

Edit: Looks like we are signing another LB, but just to the PS.

Carter didn't play against the Packers.

With so many new guys on defense maybe they meant to cut Irvin and pointed at the wrong guy.

Nevis was getting owned by every center I watched. He tried hard but just wasn't able to disrupt or push the interior like we hoped. I like his effort though and think we may bring him back for camp next year.

Cowboys have waived DT Drake Nevis, LB Kyle Bosworth

Both those surprise me. Nevis just couldn't get up to speed it seems. I wonder if either will return next July.

To everything, churn, churn, churn...

Nevis actually played well at times. Not really understanding this cut.....

Cowboys have waived DT Drake Nevis, LB Kyle Bosworth and placed LB Justin Durant on IR. More moves still to come

Two games to go, and Jerry thinks he can save the season? He ought to tank these two games and get the better draft pick.

Ahh but your forgetting the most important aspect of why the jones's want this playoff game.

1.they can say we won the east and not fire their lapdog.

2. It would make them a ton of money, it's a home playoff game. Tickets, parking, merchandise, concessions.

I doubt they care if we win in the playoffs or not, just counting that extra money is winning for them.

It appears we may have a difficult time find 11 healthy defensive players to put on the field at the same time. Never seen anything like this year's defensive injury situation before.

 

[cowboys1981]

We need to change what we're looking for on the Dline. I know RM likes players who are quick off the snap, but we need some guys with strength at the DT spots. Fast DT's will never wear down an offensive line if that's the only attribute they posses.

 

[lane]

what did bosworth do to warrant being waived?

oh that's right...leading the special teams in tackles.

He's adding to his team guys that are bagging groceries. Isn't that also what tanking might look like?
