Good deal. Needed the depth.

Looney was great this year. Hope we can find a spot for him in 2019. He played well enough for one.

Good deal. Needed the depth.

Thomas looked good in preseason also, LVE took all his reps away but he is an excellent depth player to have.

 

[Jipper]

cowboys are very quietly making some good depth signings...if they can just get a couple of mid to top tier guys....we could have something.

Thomas looked good in preseason also, LVE took all his reps away but he is an excellent depth player to have.

Keeping Lee this year gives us depth at LB. And we kept the other LB as well.

Speaking of LBer, whose replacing Wilson as a starter?

Let Covington and Thomas compete in camp for the spot. I think Sean Lee could take snaps there also, but they have to address his contract obviously.

I don’t think we have lost Wilson yet. He may decide to sign a cheap contract. If the price is right then I like him.

Like this move. Can we move him to guard if Fred is healthy this year. Take over for Williams

Looney did well. Wonder how well he could do at guard. That would allow us to slide Williams out to tackle and slide Collins down the depth chart.

 

[Risen Star]

Man, I see I stepped on the boss' toes with this thread.

I've enjoyed my time here.

Guard is Looney's natural position. His second position was Center. Just saying.

 

[Bullflop]

Not a bad idea -- both have proven their worth in live action this year. Here's hoping all of our backups are as worthwhile.

 

[CF74]

Good news...

Looney did well. Wonder how well he could do at guard. That would allow us to slide Williams out to tackle and slide Collins down the depth chart.

Just do "actual" competition at the other 2 spots. I think the other 3 incumbents ie Tyron, Fred and Martin are a given if healthy.(I know that is a huge IF, especially these last couple of years) Then let Sua Filo, Williams, Collins and Looney compete for LG and RT. May the best man win.

 

[CWR]

Good deal. Needed the depth.

Both good players too imo. Both guys are capable of giving us meaningful reps if need be.

 

[lane]

I really like Thomas and would love to see him with LVE and Jaylon.

That would be a monster lb core

This part is good......thanks Will.
