Practice Squad OL Laken Tomlinson added to practice squad

[Coogiguy03]

Honestly, it took a few, understand you,, but that happens to everybody here you have to know the person, not just what they’re posting, the person, there has to be a little bit of acknowledgment between the two people, place wouldn’t be the same without you

Appreciate it thanks for your words!!! Football is back!!

These are championship moves

As far as practice squad additions this time of year, who would the Cowboys get that's any better?

I was being a little sarcastic. Sorry it got you fired up.

No worries, I wasn't fired up. Just hard to tell context in messages sometimes. That's on me.

I can be a smart arse I know.

The addition of yet another OL veteran should serve to adjust the depth of this OL noticeably.
Let's hope the new backup strength serves this version of the Cowboys' OL significantly well.

Tomlinson may or may not be the most reliable pass protection fella around but maybe he'll suffice.

Solid for the PS. I hope he never sees game time though.

 

[Floatyworm]

Honestly, not a bad addition. I'm curious how he will look, but I like it! Not a bad attempt to kick the tires.

Agree....If something were to happen to Bass or Booker....God forbid...Last thing I wanted to see was Shelton or Morris try to slide down and take snaps.

@ least with Tomlinson...He's been there...done that. Hopefully we never have to see him. But it's nice to know...He's there

 

[Floatyworm]

I honestly was expecting them to go sign Edoga off the Ravens practice squad.....

Exactly, and it's not one of those just, adding a spot just because. This looks to be a quality PS signing....for a practice squad signing.

• Run Blocking: 50.6 (Dipped significantly following a lingering neck/spine injury)

What does that mean? He was out for the season after the neck injury.

I believe he would need to go to the active roster if we signed him.

 

[Bigrandrn]

Tbh Terrence Steele’s peak wasn’t as good as Laken’s I don’t think. I’ll never complain about adding veterans like this if it means avoiding a Chaz Green type situation.

Yeah, at this point it’s depth…..can these people step in and play decent a few games if needed and not be a turnstile.

Not sure. Ask google AI

 

[nate dizzle]

Geez, that joke never gets old.

Apparently neither does Dexter Coakley. Dude still has some trade value

 

[zekecowboy]

Yikes BJones seems toe be trending down every year.

Wonder why some people did not like the trade.

Tomlinson is a former 1st rounder but is a pure OG with no position flex. He is a 34 year old Jamacian, that is strong to hold up to bull rush but can be stressed by fast twitch DTs. However, he has a lot of experience.

Signing Ladanian Tomlinson iangking to come in really handy now that Malik Davis is injured. What a smart move by this front office.
