If Cooper Rush is a lock, where do the Cowboys go light?

FRISCO, Texas -- As the preseason winds down, so much of the process for teams is attempting to find ways to fit square pegs into round holes.
Not necessarily with their scheme and players’ abilities, but with the composition of the roster. In this week’s Five Wonders, the top wonder is just that.


Away we go:

Cooper Rush on the Dallas Cowboys' 53-man roster. The undrafted quarterback has played remarkably well in the first three preseason games. He’s likely found a spot on the 53-man roster now, and the Cowboys split some of the second-team work between Kellen Moore and Rush on Monday. But I wonder where the Cowboys will go light elsewhere in order to fit the third quarterback on the 53. Instead of four tight ends, do they take three? Five wide receivers instead of six? Six linebackers instead of seven? Five cornerbacks instead of six? Arguments can be mad that the player given up at those spots would have more of an impact in the season than a No. 3 quarterback, but having a backup of the future in Rush is an inviting possibility. Just know, however, that you can’t have it all when you put together the 53-man roster.

My guess is they go light on Kellen Moore

 

[Teague31]

Only need to keep 8 OL

 

[jazzcat22]

This could create a ripple effect bigger than the parting of the Red Sea.

So just cut Moore, simple.

Moore

 

[GhostOfPelluer]

If there is even a discussion that an undrafted rookie QB could beat out our second-string QB than the second-string QB is obviously not the answer to any question that isn't, "Who do we cut to keep this kid on the roster?"

 

[Shinaoi]

Let Moore retire and pay him to do basically what he already is doing as a coach.

 

[Ranching]

Have Noah Brown take Moore out in practice, put him on IR.

 

[silver]

Just cut Moore. Nobody is claiming him. If you need him he'll be available. Only Linehan sees anything in him. Dude is tiny even for a flag football team.

 

[Hawkeye19]

Cut Moore and put him on PS when he inevitably clears waivers.

 

[MRV52]

This isn't rocket science put Moore maybe on the practice roster, and don't try to hide him either. No team in their right mind will touch him.

 

[JoeyBoy718]

I'm not sure how light they'll need to go considering they'll have 3 extra roster spots while Zeke, Irving and Moore are suspended. That'll give them some extra time to go heavy at a few spots and make a decision on who to cut in the end.

 

[Zimmy Lives]

TE.

I'm guessing we will not see the kid from Baylor for the remainder of the preseason.

 

[Stash]

My guess is they go light on Kellen Moore

 

[UDcowboysfan]

Just cut Moore. Nobody is claiming him. If you need him he'll be available. Only Linehan sees anything in him. Dude is tiny even for a flag football team.

I was literally thinking the same thing...

 

[DogFace]

I say oline too. Green's versatility helps a lot if he's the backup swing tackle and swing guard.

Of course, he has to be healthy.

 

[jday]

My guess is they go light on Kellen Moore

People act like Kellen Moore won't still be available if we release him, given the ridiculously unlikely scenario where the Cowboys are in need of someone to lose some games for them.

 

[speedkilz88]

OL, DL, LB seem to be places they could go light. Not seen too many young guys step up there.

 

[Satchel89]

You guys are forgetting how well Moore throws the deep ball. As long as every pass play is a go route, They're fine.

 

[Kaiser]

They will go lite at FB, 6th WR or 7th LB.
