Orie Lemon

[Seven]

I don't think he's going to beat out the veteran linebackers, but if Lemon does show well, I wouldn't be surprised if Dallas ends up keeping five inside linebackers (James, Brooking, Lee, Cummings and Lemon, if Carter goes on PUP for the first six games).

Of course, if Carter is healthy to start the season, then the fifth spot would come down to Lemon and Cummings, and I give Cummings the edge for now. That's, of course, if Dallas is able to keep a fifth ILB. The Cowboys could keep a fifth OLB instead, but I think it will be four with the final spot coming down to Brandon Williams and Alex Albright. And of course, they could end up heavy at another position and only have room for eight linebackers.

I just want them to keep the best 53 players (and potential does need to be figured into that a little), regardless if it makes us a little shorter on depth at one spot and longer at another. Stocking a position with bodies just because you feel you have to have a certain number is a bad way to build a team IMO.

Sorry, gimme. I forgot the................

Will be quite ironic if Lemon's former teammate, Dan Bailey, beats out Buehler and gets Buehler cut opening up the roster spot Dallas uses to keep Lemon.

I think you're thinking of The Shanle.

Fowler was busted for roids when he played for TN
