Has Switzer even started practicing yet?
He just returned to practice yesterday.
Any chance he's going to play in the game this weekend?

If the Cownoys keep their best 53 players regardless of position then Brown would stay.
Unfortunately, at this point, it would probably take an injury or trade. Due to circumstances, the Cowboys are forced to go heavy at a few positions like DE and possibly QB.
He was supposed to be this raw, unpolished WR who really excelled at blocking. I'm thinking ok, they found themselves another Vince Mayle. We used a pick to draft Zeke's homeboy. Cool, but best case scenario he's stashed on the practice squad.
He's getting snatched up by someone else if you don't put him on the 53 now.
His route running looks exceptional. He looks like a natural hands catcher. And he's shown some YAC ability.
@4:10 there is so much to get excited about. First he hits the CB with the saucy Cole Beasley hesi, and then breaks inside to create plenty of separation for Rush to throw the ball. Then he easily plucks the ball out of the air using only his hands. Next, YAC alert. He jukes the safety, turns up field and has the strength to break the arm tackle of the CB. The fumble obviously is a concern, but that's a lot of WOW in one play.
Another nasty route where he makes a CB look foolish. Easy 6.
Turns Marquez White completely around.
Brice Butler is a FA after this season and this team needs another outside WR moving forward. Noah Brown looks like he can be that guy.
And he's only 20.
LOL why would we want to do that? He's the fastest wide receiver we got. Besides, Dak seems to like going to him deep. Noah Brown is not as fast and I don't know why people here like him so much.
With 2 slot WRs, Butler is the only outside WR backup if they just keep 5.maybe he can add another 10-15 pounds and be a TE? he has blocking skills as a WR and a little bigger would make a good TE......but as a WR, we are 5 deep. and the 6th WR will often be inactive on game day.
I'll be glad when they cut Brown just so this thread will die.
Brown was good in college? Oh, great that changes everything.
He's the 4th or 5th receiver on the depth chart, and he's not going to be on the roster next season (FA). The bottom of the depth chart is where you churn while developing young talent. Noah also plays on all the ST, which Brice Butler does not. Noah is a Terrence Williams type of player, block first mentality, but with better hands and upside. Plus he has very good RAC ability as well.
He isn't going anywhere.People talking about getting rid of Butler is ridiculous to me.
With 2 slot WRs, Butler is the only outside WR backup if they just keep 5.
Dwayne Harris for playing time because he was a really good blocker. Brown was the best blocking WR I"ve seen in college football.
And if Dez or Williams gets hurt, Butler is the first guy that gets moved up to replace them as neither Beasley or Switzer can do that on the outside.
It just doesn't make roster sense to keep Brown I think. You can work it to fit him in but you have to run short at some place more vital then WR. It feels like you have to steal that spot from one of the lines, and depth there isn't the best on the oline and the Dline has the suspensions forcing the team to keep people they might not otherwise. And if we do keep Brown I just don't see how he makes it past the activation of Moore and Irving. DE to start the year Crawford, LAwrence, Tapper, Taco, Mayowa. If there's someone they like I can see a 6th being kept. DT to start the year Collins, Paea, Thronton, Neal. I don't think Ivey or Carroll are making enough splash to keep one of them right now. CB Scandrick, Carrol, Brown, Awuze, Lewis. I wouldn't be surprised to see either Thompson or White also be kept. S Jones, Heath, Woods, Frazier. Blanton is probably odd man out unless ST goes on the table for him. I doubt we go short at LB, considering that seems to be where we get the core of our ST. TE i think is pretty much fixed, barring injury. QB is going to be 3 at this point, unless Rush bombs in the next two games. OLine I think we have to go heavy because you can't trust Green and they will want to throw numbers at the possible problem. OT Smith, Collins, Green, Bell or Cleary. OG Martin, Cooper, Looney. C Fredrick. I could see Bell and Cleary being kept or them adding someone at the cut down if they think they can upgrade.
You can carve out a space for WR6, but I'm guessing he'd be the first player cut if anyone gets dinged up in week 1. Rico Gathers I am sure wouldn't clear waivers, hes too interesting a set of tools to let clear. Cooper Rush, I'm not sold on yet, but Qb who show anything usually don't clear waivers unless they have a bad contract. A WR who has some nice traits but doesn't seem to have one elite one is someone who can clear waivers or who you might could replace in the next draft cycle without having a huge investment into it.
Brown or smith ?
