*** Current Cowboys Roster and Practice Squad ***

[TheDuke]

I just wish Chaz Green was healthy. Would love to see if he was capable of being the swing tackle and eventual replacement for Free. Hopefully he can still fill that role when he gets healthy.

 

[Teague31]

We obviously weren't interested in keeping him

All the media speculation I've see expects Chaz Green to never come off PUP this season.

We'll see what happens.

Bummer.

I'd rather have Laurence Gibson on the 53 than Jasper Brinkley.

I expect them to try to add an OL to the practice squad considering they only carried 8 on the 53.

If they have anybody go to IR at some point, I would look at signing Battle from the Rams Practice Squad or re-signing Gibson.

I'm expecting a couple.

C/G Shane McDermott and an OT.

I was hoping it would be Laurence Gibson. It might be John Wetzel again, a player that inspires no confidence.

Battle is the kind of player you despise if on opposing team. But the guy you embrace like family if playing for you. He has intriguing athleticism and versatility but it's his ferocity that draws me. Can't have enough intimidaters on the team.

And he was so good, the Rams didn't sweat exposing him to waivers

I expect this means they are looking outside to fill one last slot and don't care to bother with announcing guys one by one

Never said he was good now. Said he has potential ability but you can't teach nastiness and fight.

Analysis
Strengths
Former basketball player. Has good speed and twitch for a big receiver. Can win in space and has tremendous ability to track the ball over his shoulder on deep throws. Has learned to vary route speed to help with separation on slants. Outstanding physical traits for the position. Sinks hips and sits down on route quickly for a receiver his size. Better acceleration than cornerbacks expect on free release. Can get to top speed quickly and has touchdown catches of 72, 81 and 90 yards over last two seasons. Has the body type to overwhelm small cornerbacks. Fights through initial contact after the catch and will grind out tough yards. Slimmed down entering 2014 and put up big numbers in pass-happy offense.
Weaknesses
Has limited playing experience. Needs to learn to use his hands more effectively against press coverage. Can be held up off release by smaller corners, despite size. Unsound fundamentals as a hands-catcher. Had 13 drops in 2014. Will trap ball against body and struggle with focus drops. Basic route runner at this stage. Below-average separation out of breaks. Predictable releases off snap allow cornerbacks to manipulate his routes. Inconsistent effort as run blocker if he doesn't square defender up. No dynamic traits near line of scrimmage, including after the catch.
Draft Projection
Round 4
NFL Comparison
Aaron Dobson
Bottom Line
Evaluators seem sure that Mayle is a moldable piece of clay who can become substantially better as a pro with more coaching and experience. Mayle clearly needs work with some of the basic fundamentals for the position, but with his size and an ability to win vertically, he has a high ceiling. He might need a redshirt year before he is ready to contribute consistently.

Also had thumb surgery which really set him back. I do not know what the Browns did to him, but he refused to sign on their practice squad. You would think he has a better chance there than in Dallas.

Dallas Cowboys have signed WR Vince Mayle to their practice squad. Mayle was a 4th-round pick this year by Cleveland out of Washington State

who would you rather play for, Dallas or Cleveland??

 

[Alexander]

I would play where I had the better chance of making the 53 and I would think it is better in Cleveland than Dallas.

 

[reddyuta]

it does not bode well for a WR needy team like the Browns to cut their 4th RD pick.

so in Cleveland, name that quarterback or Tony Romo.......I guess he's not that stupid..

 

[speedkilz88]

He had thumb surgery in May and then they decided to keep Terrelle Pryor as a converted WR (former QB). Going in everyone knew he had a lot of talent but needed to learn the whole route tree and he also has body catching issues. Sounds a lot like Terrance Williams.
