DMN Blog: Kyle Kosier to injured reserve; LB Steve Octavien signed

[jobberone]

His chronic stinger is a result of his chronic bad tackling form.

Maybe. Most likely he has a slightly narrow spinal column and that's causing a little problem once there is some swelling there. But doesn't have to be that way. The cord can get compressed and swell from trauma with a normal spinal canal.

They still have just 52 on the roster even after the Losier/LB move today.

Unless Barber definitely cant go or would be severely limited, I doubt they bring Coleman up this week. They will probably wait a few days to see how he is doing.

So they have a spot for Pac Trash if they activate him without making another move.

Didn't Jerry say yesterday that we were going to bring Coleman up?

Are you sure about that? Battle took Felix's spot. By my count that gives us 53

Dallas was a couple of weeks too late in delving some talent off other teams' practice squad. KC cut Octavien, and even Walden, to get much more talented guys like Andy Studebaker (from the Eagles).

I almost would rather bring back Walden, who at least is familiar with the team. Octavien is going to be another Justin Rogers, average STer, garbage as backup on D.

Interesting clip. A real eye opener. At least he has speed. That will make him a special teams candidate.

He was claimed by the Dolphins and is on their roster

However, he may very well get cut since they just signed Al Johnson.

My bad -- they've got a roster spot from IR'ing Camarillo

rather we signed a RB or KO specialist.

yeah it would be nice to have a touchback on a kickoff. I love Folk as a FG kicker but man he leaves a lot to be desired on kickoffs.

Kosier joins safety Roy Williams, wide receiver Sam Hurd, punter Felix Jones and running back Felix Jones on injured reserve. Montrae Holland replaced Kosier at left guard Thursday against Seattle.

what is a move like this supposed to do?

 

[TwoCentPlain]

Carpenter and Rogers may be worried about their future in Dallas?

Watkins had a stinger that wouldn't go away. I hope he's not got a congenital problem with his spinal column. That's the reason for his draumatic dropoff in play and him trying to protect himself on tackles. We are not hearing all the bad for injuries.

Yeah, it comes from getting trucked by everyone, even QB's. I'll be willing to bet that if Martin Gramatica was to run a fake FG that he would run slap over Watkins on his way to the endzone.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Well first I guess I should say that I'm bummed about Kosier. That does suck but hopefully Holland can step up and replace him nicely.

But being a big Nebraska fan I'm a HUGE fan of Octavien and I'm THRILLED that we've got him.
