Current Dallas Cowboys 53-man roster

Bryan Broaddus and Voch Lombardi both kept stating repeatedly how Mazi kept struggling throughout camp and preseason while Rogers looked better. They even showed various films to support their breakdowns. I guess they are blind and a bunch of liars?

you mentioned two people who could have biases (broaddus is known for it). I mentioned an impartial website. You can choose to believe what you want. That's what cz does best anyway.

The Cowboys own reporters were saying Mazi was struggling and requiring much extra time and coaching from Coach Zgonina. There were others from BSPN and Fox Sports. I guess they are all blind liars.

There's struggling. Then there's Justin Roger's playing WAY better. But again, I know you don't care. Something something mazi sucks. I get it. Pff means nothing. The cz way

I was right about John Ridgeway two years ago. I'm pretty sure I'm right with what I see today.

I honestly don't know what those PFF clowns look at sometimes. John Ridgeway had better stats as a backup DT the past 2 years than Jonathan Hankins did for us, yet Ridgeway received a 39 PFF grade while Hankins received a 51.8 PFF grade...

pff doesn't grade on raw stats. Are you serious right now or you just have to be right? Good grief

I just think with the PS rules, it's not as big of a deal. You can keep extra at a spot because you just deactivate them and call up those other positions that need a spot. Really, it's a 55-man roster now, with teams cutting players they feel they can get to the PS and call up (and a rotation of players for those two spots). It's kind of changed roster building a bit.

A player like Wheat, for instance, might have got a spot because Dallas felt if it cut him, Quinn would claim him. So instead it cuts Lawson and Muhammad because they were late additions to the roster (so you know they weren't in high demand) and are vets that can't be claimed. Teams are more apt now to keep players who can be claimed. Handshake deals can be reached with vets.

Whoops, just noticed Muhammad is on the reserve/suspended list because he still has one-game to sit out for PED violation. We also put Nathan Thomas on IR.
 
OLine depth looks good. I always say, quality depth is a luxury.
LB depth looks good too.
S depth look OK and helps the CBs.
WR depth could be better. I wonder if Zeke or Deuce will be used as pass catchers a bit more than usual.

Speaking Of Which: LARams cut Drake Stoops. Jerry has a thing for Big12 guys. I wonder if he'll reach out and add him to the PS
 
A few things significantly stand out.

1. It's wild to take one look at that roster in its totality and also realize we are pretty tightly strapped to the cap. It's significantly worse than the last 3 seasons. There is a ton of cheap UDFA labor here (the Stephen special).

2. The RB position is a complete dumpster fire. I'm aware that in the cap era that's not a spot where you want to allocate significant dollars, but an honest effort from the FO here could have made a difference. It's going to be very difficult to win games against good opponents when Dak is dropping back 45 times a game. Hope Rico and Deuce come to play, but hope isn't a strategy.

3. Where are the pass rushers? For a defense that makes their nut getting after the QB and forcing turnovers, seems like a significant downgrade. I know they love the position flex of some of these DL, but I just don't see it yet. What I am seeing is a team not sold on last year's first round pick, and are using valuable roster spots on journeymen DL that can and should do his job better.

4. Safety group looks great. I have high hopes for the receiver group as well. I think the OL could turn out nice if a lot of things go right.

5. Incredible group of specialists, but the Goodwin experiment should have been over in 2021.

Do not be so quick to defend all of the decisions this team makes, especially at the NT position.

Go to the 25:49 minute mark and watch through the 28:20 minute mark. Listen closely to what Bryan Broaddus and Voch Lombardi are saying when talking about Justin Rogers, Mazi Smith and the 2 very old farts the Cowboys brought in the past 1+ week and why they kept who they kept while cutting the better Justin Rogers...

 
I don't have any real problem with it. I do wish they had kept our rookie nose tackle we're probably going to need him hopefully he makes it to the practice squad

Overall about what I expected. I am not sure why they did not use the 2 IR to return spots under the new rule for Edoga and Diggs.
Therefore keeping other players such as Wood and another DL or LB.

Slightly surprised they kept Wheat, but also not surprised.

The reason they didn't do it is because if they do it that way it counts as two spots. If they wait 24 hours then it doesn't. They only get eight spots. The one they used for bland will count as two. So now they only have six.
