DC.COM Blog: Practice Provides Hints For Game-Day Actives

We don’t get to watch a lot of practice each day, and most of our 25-minutes out there is for the all-intensive stretching period.

But judging on some of the special teams work they did, it does appear that Cory Procter and Doug Free will be two of the active players for Sunday’s game in Tampa. Now the team kept 10 offensive linemen but typically, only seven or eight linemen are active on the 45-man game day roster.

Procter and Free are both on the starting kickoff return units, which are anchored deep by Felix Jones, who of course, will be active Sunday. That was an easy one.

Miles Austin and Sam Hurd are also both on the return units, along with Steve Octavien. I didn’t see Kevin Ogletree on that squad, but that doesn’t mean the Cowboys won’t make him active Sunday.

It’s only a few minutes of a Thursday practice. But from the looks of things, it does appear Procter and Free will be the backup linemen available. And any questions about the injuries to Hurd and Austin clouding their availability for Sunday are probably cleared up as well.

hopefully he catches on sooner than Montare Holland did last year

I never realized what a key contributor Procter was to our team's top-notch return units....

I can see it now. "Jones catches the ball at the three, runs by Procter who is still in his stance..."

He's a "core" special teams player, just like Stanback was.

Ha ha. In my post in the Cowboys predictions thread I almost predicted that Preston would push Proctor off the roster after learning the system. Then I thought, I don't know, that guy just seems to hang around forever somehow. Sort of like Lynn Scott. (I think that was his name).

Proctor has become the Phil Pozderec of the new millennium.

Well, here's your pick of Scott's from the all-time Cowboys roster:


47 Scott, Chris WR Vanderbilt 87 68 Scott, Herbert OG Virginia Union 75-84 35 Scott, Kevin DB Stanford 89 52 Scott, Sean LB Maryland 88 22 Scott, Victor DB Colorado 84-88

Lynn Scott played here from 01-05.

Hope Proctor isn't a Cowboyszone member, he'd probably would need intense therapy reading all the kinds things said about him on here.

Exactly. We probably will activate 7 OL. We need someone to be able to play the three inside positions and a tackle able to play both tackle positions.

That is funny.

In fact, that is the funniest thing that I"ve read on here.

It's been a long day. I quoted the wrong message.

I'm convinced he has some compromising of Wade or JJ in a compromising position.
