ESPN: Cowboys Inactives

[erod]

Still don't understand why Seattle gave up Michael for nothing and went with a 30+ backup running back.

What didn't they like?

How bad is Russell to have Bishop, Coleman and Irving ahead of you on the depth chart

From the looks of last week? Pretty bad. The Falcons lit up his side.

 

[Risen Star]

I guarantee you that if Collins were a 1st round pick that he would not be inactive.

Certainly not. They'd be using that pick for an immediate starter.

Michael was a head case apparently. Made a lot of mental mistakes. Kid has talent. Let's hope those mental mistakes are in the past.

Rawles is 30+?

Rawles is 30+?

Jackson

I don't think I have been this excited to see a Cowboys game this season. Let's go CMIKE!

LET'S GO O!
LET'S GO LINEHAN! Now you have your stable.

Odd. I'm feeling just the opposite. Hope Michaels works out but do not see him as a difference maker with the current starting lineup.

 

[Denim Chicken]

Jackson

Rawls is ahead of Jackson. He's only 22.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

why is Collins inactive?

It boggles my mind. That's all I can say. You just don't leave talent like that on the bench.

Just hold on to the ball, please.

No worries. I have enough excitement bottled up for both of us.

Seattle seems to have their "rkg" people for their team and he wasn't fitting in.

I guarantee you that if Collins were a 1st round pick that he would not be inactive.

Forget the stupid backup flexibility. They can shift around anyways. The biggest position change would be if Fred went down and even then Martin was doing snaps all preseason. I would love to see them go with an oversized line of six offensive lineman once and a while and run the ball.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

I guarantee you that if Collins were a 1st round pick that he would not be inactive.

Collins is and would have been drafted in first round. Point blank he is inactive because of not being able to play multiple spots.

Frank Clark. RKG. There isn't one team in the NFL without any skeletons in their closet

 

[xwalker]

I thought he might be active this week. Once both Hardy and Gregory are back he is likely to be inactive unless he is just too good and can play DT and not just DE.

The time between Hardy coming back and Gregory coming back could go either way.

 

[xwalker]

Russell has shown good physical talent but was lost last week.

 

[xwalker]

gotcha. i knew Leary was playing but i thought at least Collins would be a backup.

They always prefer 7 OL; although occasionally they'll have 8 if a starter is gimpy.

 

[jazzcat22]

So if Collins was active, how would that help. He still most likely would not be playing. He has not had any reps at OT, or much, nor will he get it until next years TC. And that is not anyone's fault. They simply like him better at OG for now.

I am interested in finally seeing Michael, and hope he lives up to all his fan clubs expectations. Because he is a Cowboy and and root for ALL players, unlike some fans. Lol.

Russell will mostly remain inactive, as he was a project pick IMO anyway, but will pay dividends next year or so. Once they decide or once he emerges at DE or DT.

Whitehead has a way to go also. He will get his shot at KR and PR once he can, in non critical game situations. But not tonight obviously.

Cassell, guess still not ready, thought he would jump ahead of Moore, but probably next week, as they need roster spot for McLain and Hardy.

Dez and Gregory of course injured, so automatically inactive.
