Bing in Rod Marinelli as a consultant and have him bring in Everette Brown and Corvey Irvin.

Not having someone better is the bigger problem.

Defensive tackles Randy White, John Dutton, Russel Maryland, and Tony Casilles along with defensive end Ed Jones were all anchors on the Cowboys Super Bowl defensive lines.

What else do they have in common?

They were all top 5 picks overall in their respective drafts.

You can't build a D-line without investing in some top talent.

At this point I believe if Phillips appeared in 2 games for Dallas the Cowboys now owe the Giants a 7th rounder next year . You’ve now thrown out that pick.

How about cutting your losses with Phillips and poaching this years 7th rounder Justin Rogers off the Bengals practice squad and put him in the DT rotation immediately.

All these guys are all starting threads on guys they were praising just a few weeks ago ........

:laugh:
I wasn't praising.

For the record, I said this team made a big mistake cutting NT Justin Rogers at the end of preseason. Now we see picking up these old DTs is not working out.

I reached out to Justin Rogers on X (ex Twitter). I hope he sees my comment and responds. Someone said on YouTube that the Cowboys had tried to pry Justin Rogers off the Bengals practice squad recently, but supposedly, Justin turned the Cowboys down. I asked that person for a link, but I have yet to hear from that YouTube poster. I couldn't find anything on the internet talking about this, so this might be a bunch of baloney spewed by some fan. Justin Rogers still has the Dallas Cowboys on his X profile, plus several Cowboys preseason clips of him making plays, so there is hope he might be willing to come back if Jerry and the Cowboys approached him.

So if a player is on another teams PS it would seem like if you put in a claim and have to put him on your 53 he can refuse to go ? If he’s on a teams 53 with the chance to play I would think the player would jump at the promotion. For one thing I would think it would pay better .

Honestly. Phillips was so bad, he should be benched for that performance. I know the alternatives aren’t great but Phillips was so bad all game that you just can’t have him out there.

That honestly could be the worst DT rep in football history.

I was wondering the same thing. If anyone knows that answer, it would be most appreciated.

QUESTION: Can a player on another team's practice squad refuse to go with another team who tries to pick him up, or does he have to go no matter what?

John Ridgeway is on the undefeated New Orleans Saints team. He is laughing at our Cowboys and fans at this very moment.

Isn’t that a happy ending without DeSean Jackson . Although this being Ridgeways 3rd team in a short amount of time would seem the clock is ticking .
