RELEASED DE Mika Tafua released from practice squad

[xwalker]

I would’ve released Aviante Collins

I thought he played relatively well in the preseason.

I had the thought when watching him that he could hold up for a game at RT as the backup backup OT.
- i.e. A last resort move of Steele to LT with AC at RT for a game.

Tafua will be back. They will churn the PS. Right now it is probably a practice type thing, using players to prepare. Maybe they didn't need an extra DE for it.

Exactly.

Some positions are much more utilized in practice than others. The Cowboys always like to go heavy on ps WRs because WRs are used for QB drills and do extensive running in addition to standard 11 on 11 and 7 on 7 work.

I wonder if Tafua gets a game check this week since he started the week on the PS.

 

[Floatyworm]

I wanted to keep Tafua.

What a mistake it was signing Peters.

Should have just cut Ridgeway....

 

[kskboys]

Too slow. If a DE runs a 4.8+, he better be 6-7/300.

 

[Pass2Run]

Nope, the PS has become a farm team to the league, some very good talent setting on that PS right now.
Tafua was the right choice.

Mostly because the Cowboys already have the dirty dozen, and went long on the DL.

Plus, I think Tafua comes back.

Rookie defensive end Mika Tafua led the Pac-12 in sacks last year on his way to joining the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent

 

[Majic]

Always a chance he signs with another team (PS)

 

[links18]

Ugh, REVERSE CHMAPIONSHIP!

 

[slick325]

We hardly knew ye...godspeed young Tafua.

I do think he will be called back after Peters is called up to the 53.​

 

[Risen Star]

Season is over before it ever began. See ya'll tomorrow after I recover from this news.

We don't need your snark right now, John.

 

[Risen Star]

Should have just cut Ridgeway....

Oh, Floaty.

[chagus]

So who from the active goes to PS?

 

[rambo2]

It's a mistake!

I doubt that 4 edge rushers will get hurt at the same time.

Question followed by another question: are the cowboys making room on practice squad for Peters?
And if he goes on the practice squad, couldn't another team just grab him from our practice squad?

Nobody is taking him from the Cowboys. They aren't going to let him get away.

 

[FVSTONE]

This is unfortunate because Tafia had some decent numbers in college and could have possibly helped this team down the road. With Peters, at least we got a 40 yr old fat dude who'll probably take weeks, if not months just to get in SIDELINE shape!

We don't need your snark right now, John.

The Snark King has spoken and the law has be laid down.

The practice squad is not like waivers. Players on the practice squad are free agents and would have to agree to sign with another team. Peters just chose to sign with Cowboys so that shouldn't be an issue. They can protect 4 players per week but those are most likely going to be the young guys they want to hang on to.
