RELEASED Nzeocha Cut

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Dude missed multiple tackles every time he played. A LB who cannot tackle is a waste of time.

7th round failure. Oh noes!

Guy was an overaged player coming off of an ACL injury when drafted, and didn't have much of a football background coming from Germany. Plain and simple, the guy didn't know all of the intracacies of playing linebacker, and at age 28, he's not worth keeping.

I'd be surprised if they brought him back, given his age, injury history and inability to tackle as a LB. For a practice squad spot to hopefully develop a player, there should be plenty of younger players with higher upside available.

M-AR-K!

A great joke went ignored.

Nzeocha will be one of those players we will always wonder how good they could have been if they had only stayed healthy.

No way lol.

To make room for Elliott on the roster, linebacker Mark Nzeocha was released.

Finally!! I'm surprised we kept him on the 53 in the first place.

But Will McClay picked him.

Think before you reply.

He is the example of not putting too much into SPARQ. Dude still has to be able to play football

Sort of like Rashaan Salaam, Mike Sherrard, Ki-Jana Carter, Mike Mamula, ETC

Really? Most ps guys might give you a handful of good games.

But you only want guys who might contribute long term? On a squad of 10. Genius!

He was worth the chance due to size, athleticism and demonstrated play in college.

If he was a high draft pick it would be different, but he wasn't.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

He was horrible this preseason

 

[csirl]

His brother is on the Bucs practise squad.

 

[Bullflop]

Nzeocha's time came and went -- too bad for him but a good thing for Dallas. It happens -- he just couldn't get it together.

 

[DogFace]

One time he had an interception in the preseason.

That is all.

How do you know McClay picked him? Since when did he draft players?

At Nzeocha's age, you would expect a player to be more advanced. He also has a torn ACL and torn Achilles in his history. I can't see this guy being a contributor of any kind, and a younger guy such as a Joseph Jones would, IMO, provide more upside. If you think he's worth investing more time in his development, that's your prerogative. I don't agree - I think it would be wasted effort.
