Williams comes back ? .. where did Williams go?

I'm assuming that Goodell is going to spin the wheel of discipline on him for the arrest. I know that nothing major happened with Sam Williams, but Goodell is known to spin the wheel for the slightest of infractions.

I'm trading Joseph for a 4th rounder. That should make the weak-hearted guys happy.

IF Goodell does that (suspend Williams) doesn't he usually do that way prior to the regular season ?

I'm going to give it a whirl with my 53 prediction. I know some of you are probably going to think I've got the brains of a carrot (yum, carrots), but why not? I'm also going to try to predict some PS pieces and give a season prediction. Fun little exercise before I go to bed. Right, let's get on it.

Offense
QB (3)
Dak Prescott
Cooper Rush
Trey Lance

Pretty obvious this. Next!

RB/FB (4)
Pollard
Vaughn
Dowdle
Luepke

I think Dowdle did better in preseason than Davis. As for Luepke, can't cut him. He'll be gone if we do that (also, I liked him in the draft). Davis will be on the PS.


WR/kr (6)
Lamb
Cooks
Gallup
Tolbert
Turpin
Brooks


This was a bit tricky. I think we have a very talented group of WRs. Unfortunately, we can't keep everyone. But, I also think the play of the prospects will force the FO to keep 6. So, that's what I made of the group. Interesting to note that Dennis Houston and Fehoko had roles last season (Dennis had a significant role) and are likely off the team. That's how good our WRs are now. I think Cropper and Durden end up on PS.

TE (3)
Ferguson
Schoonmacher
Hendershot

I think Fant and McKeon go on the PS. I think Luepke means we keep only 3 TEs

Tackle (4)
Tyron Smith
Steele
Richards
Waletsko


I think Ball goes on IR. We are very thin at Tackle, but this is about as good as I think we can do here.

Guard (4)
Zach Martin
Tyler Smith
Edoga or a player not on this roster
Bass

I think we are frighteningly thin at guard. Luckily, Bass looks good. I think that either Edoga will get a spot here, or I could see the FO bringing in someone else

C (2)
Biadisz
Fairniok

This gives our offense 27 players on the active roster.

Defence:
DT (5)
Mazi Smith (NT)
Jonathan Hankins (NT)
Odigazuwa (3T)
Golston (3T)
Fehoko (3T)

I think this is a reasonable breakdown. I think Fehoko can shift to either 3T or DE. I think Gallimore is gone.

DE (4)
Micah Parsons
DLaw
Land
Fowler

I should note that I'm anticipating at least a 2 game ban for Sam Williams for his run in with the law. As such, I think this is a reasonable lineup at DE. I think Land has made himself uncuttable. I think Wheat and Banogu get a trip to the Practice Squad. I have Parsons as a DE, but he can fit as a Lb too. However, for player count and given what he does, I'm listing him as a DE here. At least until Sam Williams returns from his ban.

LB (4)
LVE
Clark
Jefferson
Cox

DO is going to be on IR with his injury, and doesn't count against the roster. I explained the Parsons designation above. I think Cox gets sent to the PS when Sam Williams' ban finishes.

CB (5)
Diggs
Gillmore
Lewis
Scott
Kelvin Joseph

I really wanted to put Nashon Wright in on the spot of Kelvin Joseph. However, Joseph has the Special Teams edge. So, Wright goes to PS. I think he will be joined by Butler and Myles Brooks.

S (5)
Bell
Hooker
Mukuamu
Kearse
Wilson

We are very deep at safety. Who's have thought that a few years ago? Redwine goes to PS.

This gives us 23 on defence and 50 on the roster. Now for the last 3. Special Teams

K
Aubrey

P
Anger

LS
Sieg

I think this will be our 53 man roster. As for PS, I think it'll be at least the following:

Davis, Cropper, Durden, McKeon, Fant, Wheat, Banogu, Wright, Butler, Brooks, and Redwine.

As for my prediction for the season, I know the NFL is unpredictable. However, here are factors that I am using. Firstly, no NFC East team has repeated as division champs in nearly 20 years. I think this continues. Also, I think we have a better team than we did last year. Especially at WR. So, here's my division finish prediction and my prediction for where the Cowboys finish the season.

NFC East:
Cowboys 12-5
Eagles 11-6
Giants 10-7
Commanders 8-9

I think it'll be a tight division, but I think we will just about edge out the Eagles by one game. I think we split with Philly and the Giants, and I think we sweep Washington. I think the Cowboys will then go on from the 3rd seed and end up losing in the NFCC to the Rams. I think the Rams have a very good team that will be right there with SFO in their division. I think Stafford wins the QB battle in that division and leads them to the number 1 seed just edging out SFO (who we get revenge against in the division round). I think the Rams go on to beat the Jets (who beat the Chiefs in the AFCC 34-30) in the Super Bowl 27-24.

This was fun to make. What do you all think of my predictions?

Don't think we displace the Eagles atop the NFC East, Rusty, but would LOVE to be wrong.

There are a lot of young NFL football players who won't be getting any sleep tonight and truly dread a knock at their door in the morning.

Saw this posted recently.I myself would like to find a spot for Isiah Land. The WR room looks very different than last year. And i also would be just fine if cox was sent packing for a cut from another team but its getting time to roll. Go cowboys!!!!

Players like this will be released today. I suspect at least one guy on our roster by this weekend was on another team yesterday and wouldn't be surprised if it was more than one
