Hearts will be broken with the DL

[MarcusRock]

Don’t know if it’s just happening on my end, but is anyone else unable to use their emojis? For some reason mine and the other row of tools won’t highlight. It just started happening. Something has changed in the past few hours because when you reply to someone even their quotes appear differently. It’s happening on my iPhone. Not sure if the same issue is happening on my computer.

If this is true, @Nav22 and @CowboyRoy should be monitored for stability right now. If you can't drive home an "I told you so" point without those laughing hysterically emojis, what point is there in going on? Lol.


I keed, I keed.

Same boat would imply another 4th round pick Suppose they are replacing last year's 7th rounder, for example.

Besides, they know their guy enough to realize they need someone else. It could eventually be the same for someone they picked up after cuts The point is, the Cowboys would lose him

If last year's 7th rounder is still there it means they have tape that they like. That doesn't exist for Fehoko. The certainty that they would lose him is ridiculous.

That said - it doesn't matter if you do lose him. It's a roster built to win now, not carry development players.

My heart would be broken if the DL plays like crap and can't get pressure this season. I can't say that I'd be heartbroken if the 10th guy on the list ended up being talented enough to make another club. Going back to the days of the Golden Cock so as to avoid that type of heartbreak isn't exactly on my aspirational list.

They're not consistent at all I'm sorry

There have been plenty of times in which a 7th rounder will make the team one year only to be cut the following. Perhaps he wasn't developing quick enough. Perhaps an injury has permanent consequences.

Whatever the case, trying to put Fehoko on the practice squad is way too risky, he will get picked up.

It is not a roster built to win now. It is a roster built to provide the opportunity to win for several years including this year. The Cowboys, as a policy, does not like to trade the future for the present.

They have two more preseason games. One of them is probably going to get dinged up and wind up on IR.

I don't think Dallas will make the same mistake with Fehoko they did with Ridgeway last year - if they like Fehoko. They will find a way to put him on IR or he will make the team and sit inactive for games.

If there is one guy on the bubble I think it is either Bohanna or Gallimore. But Bohanna is less than $1 million against the CAP. Gallimore is $3 million. Both are relatively cheap. Gallimore is in the last year of his rookie contract. Bohanna has one more year left. If they are about even, I can see cutting Gallimore makes more financial sense. They are going to let Gallimore go after this season anyway, right? Gallimore is where Hill was before they cut him.

They wouldn’t survive here without the emoji’s. Those are a big part of their MO. Lol

 

[KJJ]

Yes, I'm running Android and this is happening to me when I use my phone. In fact, my entire top bar is highlighted out.

I use my my iPhone 99% of the time here and my entire top bar has been highlighted out for going on two days. I checked my iMac and it’s not happening with that.

You're making the argument that they should only keep him because they might lose him. The logic in that is entirely flawed, because it means some other team is going to think he's good enough to put on their 53 based on nothing.

And if they don't think he's good enough to be on the 53, then there's no risk of losing him, because he's not a roster player anyways.

There's just no logic in worrying about losing him to waivers if he's not good enough for the 53. He hasn't shown anything that he is.

Of course there is a logic to it, every team uses it.

They want to retain as many players as they can with the idea that he could later develop into someone who could be placed on their roister at a later date. They might even put an overall better player on waivers instead if they think no other team is going to pick him.

Cooper Rush was placed on waivers several times in the past. I certainly wouldn't do that now. However the point is, they felt that they could get away with it with Rush but not the other player they wanted to keep. It sometimes depends on the demand for the players position.

The practice squad isn't just a group of warm bodies, a lot of strategy goes into it's makeup as well the methods employed to keep them.

Teams with good rosters don't.

This is where the logic falls apart. Why would a team not take a better player? It makes no sense!

There is no logic to suggest that another team would pick up Fehoko if Dallas doesn't want him. It's blind guessing. Teams had plenty of time to draft him, and he's done nothing to suggest that they would have any sense of buyer's remorse now or that he's moved his stock up.

Cut bait with the older jags and keep the young guys. We know what the jags are, we don’t know what the younger guys are yet.

 

[CCBoy]

some of these guys are going on the practice squad and 1 of them is getting cut maybe 2 if theyre feeling nasty

Depends on other team releases...

That's been happening to me for months. I just don't worry about it.

It just started happening on my iPhone a couple of days ago. It’s not happening on my iMac or MacBook Pro. There’s a few emojis I like using once in a while. I’m just going to have to do without them until this glitch clears up, if it ever does. I use my phone for practically all my posting.

 

[SlammedZero]

I'm mostly the opposite. I use my desktop most of the time, but when I do use my phone I am having the same issue as you. So, you're not alone.

From what someone else posted it seems to be happening on both android and iPhones. I can do so much on my phone I seldom use my computer these days.

 

[OmerV]

I am doing a little math and it seems like one of these guys may not make the team…Gallimore, Golston, Bohanna or Fehoko.

So I got Armstrong, Fowler, Lawrence, Williams, Hankins, OZiggy, Smith. They are keeping 10, maybe. Golston has some flex. Bohanna has beef. Gallimore better ball out here. Would they cut or PS Fehoko? Something interesting is going to happen with this group. Gallimore is in trouble.

Thoughts?

Golston has some flex, but he has no game that I can tell. I can't see a need for him at all - bottom of barrel at both DE & DT..

We haven't seen or heard much from Fehoko since he has been injured, but at least theoretically he could fill the same flex role and is younger and hopefully could still develop.

 

[TWOK11]

Gholston is too good a run defender for his position to cut IMO.

That happened on my iPad not too long ago. I couldn’t use any of the tools at the top, including the emojis. It was basically something that I had hit I guess. I found something in the text box to hit and make all that reappear where I could use it again.

I can’t remember what I did though. If I remember correctly, it was something in the upper right of the text box. I just looked there but I don’t see what I hit.

This may not help… but it did happen to me so I know what you’re talking about.
