Josh Ellis on interviewing Dez Bryant

What role?

Sure as hell isn't any role on the field. When he has been on the field he hasn't been anything close to good. He's been terrible when on the field.

Thankfully we haven't had to see him on the field for a good while. I think most of the Proctor support comes from the fact that people forgot how truly awful he was.

he has filled in at center and guard. He has played special teams.

He is a role player. He is a good inside swing guy for an in game injury imo.

Do I want him as a starter for two months like in 08, no but that is not where his value is.

When gurode or davis or kosier get hurt in the 2nd quarter of a game he can go in and play any of those spots. He is smart and he wont get you beat in that situation.

If they can upgrade all the backups, fine...by all means I hope they do....but all this hate for cory procter is crazy to me.

Go check most teams backup center and swing interior players. I dont think you will find a larry allen there either.

That and the fact that the Cowboys seem to put little to no effort in replacing him.

In fact, they gave him a really nice $1.75 million tender to keep him around for next year.

The tender offers are not guaranteed contracts, so there is no risk if a player doesn't make the final 53-man roster.
