How does J.J. Wilcox keep his job?

[Derinyar]

The two FB are here for reasons other then playing FB. Wilcox is probably here as a place holder on the 53, or at least that's the current hope I have. I would expect us to make a few changes today.

 

[casmith07]

I'm completely stunned he is still here....

How do you keep your account?

 

[Rockdoc]

at least one of the FBs may be an emergency LB. thats why he is still here

Keith Smith is better on special teams, already capable of playing halfback in a pinch the same as Rod Smith and an emergency option at LB.

Will we ever dress 3 RB and 2 FB for a game?

We will. The question is do we dress 4 RB and 2 FB

 

[Bluefin]

We will. The question is do we dress 4 RB and 2 FB

There will be 7 in-actives each week and it will be very fluid as injuries come and go.

1. QB Tony Romo
2. G Ron Leary
3. RB Darius Jackson or Lance Dunbar
4. CB Dax Swanson
5. LB Justin Durant
6. S Kavon Frasier or J.J. Wilcox

#7?

It could be DE Charles Tapper, but it'd be hard to go to a game with only 7 DL.

My final inactive would be Rod Smith.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

No they won't. Which is why we won't miss whichever fullback named Smith Dallas cuts when DeMarcus Lawrence is reinstated.

At least I think that's the reasoning here.

 

[sbark]

You'd think they could throw Wilcox in the QB "flight" simulator and throw routes, runners, recievers coming at him repeatedly and he'd be able to improve the instincts on angles........that --or just tell him he has slowed down to a 4.9/40 so he at least takes defensive angles :}

 

[StarBoyz83]

Because they refuse to admit their mistakes in drafting when he can be easily replaced!

Yeah don't think we need 2 fullbacks dressing

Only if Dallas is going to run the Wishbone !!!

I think so. Mostly because you're really dressing 3 RB and 2 special teamers who might split 5 snaps at FB while taking the 15-20+ special teams snaps.

 

[Zman5]

Wilcox and one of the FB will most likely be the first to go when DLaw and Gregory return.

 

[Texas_Pete]

He should be strictly an in the box safety. No real coverage responsibility - just run support. Dude can still hit.

Is Rod Smith that good on special teams?

Even if he is, would it trump the value of another player that also plays specials and offers better value at his listed position?

The game day 46 will be a fluid entity, we're going to see many incarnations, but right now I view Rod's spot on the 53 as a statement to our commitment to the ground game.The same goes for signing TE Austin Traylor to the Practice Squad (TE James Hanna is on reserve/PUP, we'll see what happens with him).

The team wants to run the ball.

We have depth at RB, FB and TE.

OL depth is good, too, except I'd like to have a legit 4th OT.

Yes and Dallas has no OT on practice team either !!!!

Does Bisaccia think Rod Smith is that good? He's made a good enough argument so far to keep two FB on the roster despite the fact that we're not good in 21 personnel. If they veiw Rod Smith as a core special teams player then I expect he will be active. Same holds true for Keith Smith. Kieth Smith is a ST player who's not good enough to be one of 6-7 LB so they tried him at FB. Rod Smith is probably RB6 on this team, but has made the roster it has to be for a reason. Now its possible they just liked them more then the others on the roster at this point and might very well move players around by the start of week 1. But right now I just can't see any reason for 2 players listed at FB to be on this 53 unless they're going to be core teams players and active on game day.

And that needs to change.

I want a 4th OT, be it on the 53 or Practice Squad.

Right now, La'el Collins or Zack Martin is the emergency 4th OT. I know Martin has taken snaps at Center to be prepared for an emergency there, but I haven't read about him or Collins getting any such looks on the outside.
