Quarterback (2)

Dak Prescott
Cooper Rush

Notes: No surprise here if you've watched the first two preseason games. I know how much Moore is liked from a coach stand-point, look for his return as an assistant QB coach.

Running Back/Fullback (4)

Darren McFadden
Alfred Morris
Rod Smith
Keith Smith

*Ezekiel Elliot (suspended)

Notes: I would give all of the 3 RBs ample opportunity to make plays while Zeke is serving his suspension. And just lean more on the guys getting the job done. All 3 are decent. FB Keith Smith is showing more flash as a receiver coming out of backfield and looks good with the ball when he has gotten touches.


Wide Receiver (6)

Dez Bryant
Brice Butler
Cole Beasley
Terrance Williams
Ryan Switzer
Noah Brown

PS: Andy Jones

Notes: I don't want to risk putting Noah Brown through waivers, do you? He has ideal size and can make plays with good hands catching the ball. Needs to hold onto the ball and I don't think that will be an issue going forward.

Tight End (3)

Jason Witten
Rico Gathers
Geoff Swaim

PS: Blake Jarwin

Notes: Tough cut in Hanna - I'm ready to roll with these three though and sacrifices had to made to get it down to 53. Will miss Hanna's blocking for sure, but Swaim is decent and I think we can manage here. Rico is the red zone specialist and "secret" weapon.

Offensive Line (8)

Tyron Smith
Jonathan Cooper
Travis Frederick
Zack Martin
La’el Collins
Chaz Green
Joe Looney
Emmett Cleary

PS: Dan Skipper
PS: Kadeem Edwards

Notes: Skipper needs a year in the weight room. Cleary is a concern for depth but for now he is on the 53. Waiver wire may provide a better option.

Defensive Line ( 9)

DeMarcus Lawrence
Maliek Collins
Cedric Thornton
Taco Charlton
Tyrone Crawford
Stephen Paea
Joey Ivie
Benson Mayowa
Lewis Neal

*Damontre Moore (suspended)
*David Irving (suspended)
PS: Charles Tapper
PS: Lenny Jones

Notes: Tapper was a tough cut but I don't see anything special thus far. The remaining preseason games could change that outlook though. He could sail through waivers at this point and ride with the practice squad. Lenny Jones is a newly forming pet cat for me. Great motor and makes plays! Lewis Neal makes the team with his great play thus far which should continue. Some guys that could shine in this group.

Linebacker (8)

Sean Lee
Anthony Hitchens
Damien Wilson
Kyle Wilber
Jaylon Smith
Mark Nzeocha
Justin Durant
John Lotulelei


Defensive Backs (10)

Orlando Scandrick
Nolan Carroll
Byron Jones
Jeff Heath
Xavier Woods
Anthony Brown
Chidobe Awuzie
Jourdan Lewis
Kavon Frazier
Duke Thomas

PS: Marquez White
PS: Jamiell Showers

Notes: Should be a solid group if they can put it all together. Duke Thomas has come on strong and looks like he'll make the team over White. Showers is useful on practice squad as QB.

Specialist (3)

Dan Bailey
Chris Jones
L.P. Ladouceur

PS: Sam Irwin-Hill

Notes: Wouldn't want any other 3 in the league. Irwin-Hill is an interesting prospect to keep around.

Emotionally I'm with ya and like the thinking.The best they'll do is go 3 QB's with Rush

Notes: No surprise here if you've watched the first two preseason games. I know how much Moore is liked from a coach stand-point, look for his return as an assistant QB coach.

I think they'll try putting Noah on PS there's too many position needs.

PS: Andy Jones

They like Hanna's blocking 4 TE

PS: Blake Jarwin

Notes: Tough cut in Hanna - I'm ready to roll with these three though and sacrifices had to made to get it down to 53. Will miss Hanna's blocking for sure, but Swaim is decent and I think we can manage here. Rico is the red zone specialist and "secret" weapon.

Tapper will be taken by another team and Lenny Jones.
I dont see Ivie and Neal making it. I keep Neal at this point Just my opinion.

There's no way they only go with 8 O-lineman with Tyron's back, and Chaz Green/Cooper's injury history.

Gotta go 9 there with Byron Bell.

Think Bell, Tapper, and Kellen Moore make it over Lotulelei, Noah Brown, and Duke Thomas.

Lotulelei cut, Wilbur replace with lenny Jones.
Tapper isn't going anywhere and he and Jones will never make an hour on the waive to ps list. Don't think white can make it there either, but duke is a beast it seems, best have white feign injury put him on it. Lol. Agree cut Hanna save money, Darwin get to ps if possible.

After further review, I agree Tapper makes the team. Someone on the defense has to go - choosing Wilber for now. Tough trim-down.
