Official Practice Squad

[AbeBeta]

He plays the strong side and it does not appear the nfl thinks he has enough quickness to play the weak.

Or there could be other reasons why teams are avoiding him - I don't know that I should have to continue to point out that the evaluations of his weaknesses fit many players both in the NFL and on P squads.

 

[xwalker]

Yes, they normally keep a couple of WRs on the PS for scout team purposes.

I envision Benford as the guy from Office Space that kept coming to work after they moved him to the basement and quit paying him.

 

[Kaiser]

I like giving Sam the tryout on the PS, I would cut Keith Smith to make a spot available.

I really thought DE Dartwan Bush would be on the PS, has anyone heard anything about him?

I was strictly talking about the lack of size comments that he didn't understand.

 

[Craig]

He's at worst useful as a situational player. I don't know what I think of his ceiling, but it doesn't have to be "starter" for him to contribute.

 

[The Quest for Six]

That's completely untrue. There are worse players on active and PS rosters.

and where does that line of NFL franchises start to sign him again...

 

[AbeBeta]

and where does that line of NFL franchises start to sign him again...

You know quite well why teams didn't sign him.

 

[The Quest for Six]

You know quite well why teams didn't sign him.

yeah, because he's not an NFL caliber player, period end of story...

 

[AbeBeta]

yeah, because he's not an NFL caliber player, period end of story...

That's obviously not talent evaluation talking.

 

[Common Sense]

yeah, because he's not an NFL caliber player, period end of story...

So what you're saying is he fits right in with this defense?

 

[snapper]

Oh for the love of Pete. We are talking about the PS for this guy!

 

[Beast_from_East]

Neither is Nick Hayden, but yet here he is on the 53 man roster...................if he was cut today, do you think one team would claim him off waivers?

Say what one may...but the Cowboys reward giving up guts for the team, not turning in a time card.

 

[ConstantReboot]

Sam has NO upside or potential

What makes you say that? Because he brings controversy? Sam has alot of upside and is a perfect fit for this team. Bedford? nah.

 

[ConstantReboot]

here are the FACTS, he's too small, too short, too light, too slow, no burst, no speed, short arms, classic college Tweener not NFL measurable's...not even on the Cowboys draft board....that pretty much backs up what I saw in him....and no other teams put a claim or signed him....

D. Lawrence 6'2 251 lbs., 4.76 - 40

Michael Sam 6'2 261 lbs. 4.71 - 40

What FACTS are you making up now?

 

[BAT]

I like giving Sam the tryout on the PS, I would cut Keith Smith to make a spot available.

I really thought DE Dartwan Bush would be on the PS, has anyone heard anything about him?

Will Smith is probably the least of the 3 Smiths on the PS. I'd replace all three.

 

[Idgit]

This isn't a Michael Sam thread, and should not become a commentary on any player's sexuality. If you haven't seen the Fan Zone sticky on this topic in the Fan Zone, I suggest everybody familiarize themselves with it before participating in this thread. Thanks.

Is there something i'm missing on Dixon? Did he not make the 53 and then was cut? Now he's not good enough for PS? What exactly did he do aside from being late to a drill? If they can't think he can play that's fine but you keep Heath?

Be last to a pre game walkthrough. Be late a second time to a team meeting, not be great in coverage, make a late hit on a defenseless receiver to extend a drive that lost a game, say he'd do it again in the press afterward, and be a 7th round pick in the first place.

 

[Frosty]

Oh for the love of Pete. We are talking about the PS for this guy!
