Practice squad thread

[Einstein]

I mean....


He is so good no one else wanted him. lol

Well he is a vested veteran, so he gets to decide what he's going to do.

***or so I thought***

While I understand the concept behind stashing guys like Rush and Maher on the practice squad, why not just wait until they IR Tyron Smith, James Washington, and probably others like Waletzko and just keep them on the 53?

You can only call up guys from the PS three times, so if they keep Maher there he has to be on the 53 by week four or we need another kicker.

Adding them to the practice squad allows them to continue to practice.

The ones that will be active every week will likely end up back on the 53 after other players have been moved to IR.

And who makes them tentative to sling the rock at this level? Is it the coaching or their fear of int's?

Fear of ints and coaches telling them to not turn the ball over

This PS is balanced out with every position represented. A good plug and play "taxi" squad that gives the team playability insurance throughout the entire team. Would have liked at least on upgrade within the the OL group and Malik Turner verses the UDFA WR from Mississippi.

 

[Loso86]

My point is....

The tweet makes it sound like he is incredible and he adds to the depth of that position.

The tweet makes it sound like he is who they added to the practice squad lol. Would you rather not receive that info?

 

[speedkilz88]

So that's one guy who wasn't in our camp and no waiver claims. It's like we don't even need scouts...

You playing with wiki?

On August 30, 2022, the Falcons cut Ollison. On August 31, 2022, the Dallas Cowboys swooped like a boss and got em.

[stilltheguru]

Yes, which is even more pathetic because anyone could have reached out to sign him.

You can't tell me he would rather be on our practice squad than on a team.

Watkins is a backup. Why is it pathetic?

 

[DandyDon52]

Rush got the back up job over Grier?

lol

i PREDICTED HE WOULD, oops caps, alsow dowdle got the bkup rb. they rarely go agains the order they start in PS games.
Rush started 1st every game think dowdle did too.

 

[DandyDon52]

But he was dang good in college. I can't for the life of me understand how that seems to almost never translate to the nfl. Josh Rosen comes to mind, Ryan Leaf and many others. I am pulling for Grier as I enjoyed watching him at WVU and hoped that we would draft him back then. He is here till he isn't I guess. Till then I will lend support his way.

coaches, offense are different than what he had success with. QB's are not plug and play, each qb should have an offense
designed to suit what they do good. Thats how foles won a SB.

I agree, but after Tyron and Washington how many other guys are going to IR? Waletzko maybe, but Dallas might bring in a tackle to replace him soon. So they are still going to be sitting here in four weeks figuring out who they have to get rid of so they can keep a kicker or backup QB active. They can't keep calling up Maher and Rush/Grier all season long.

Tyler Coyle looked very good all preseason. Much better than Kelvin Joseph!

I would have rather kept Tyler Coyle on the 53 and dropped Kelvin Joseph to the practice squad.

Tyler Coyle: 6'1", 209 lbs, 4.36 40 time.
Kelvin Joseph: 6'1", 185 lbs, 4.35 40 time.

Another example of the Cowboys picking favorites due to draft pick (Kelvin Joseph: 2nd round) over undrafted Tyler Coyle.

Coyle is a Safety and Joseph is a pure CB. They have ample Safety depth, but need the bodies after the top 3 corners.

Makes complete sense why they did this. Also Joseph is a 2nd round pick, I know he’s had some troubles but the likelihood he’s claimed is infinitely higher than Coyle’s.

It’s not as cut and dry as who played better in preseason or who has better measurables.

Tyler Coyle is a "Free" Safety which means he can cover most receivers. He looks better than Kelvin Joseph does. Or do you disagree?

 

[JoeKing]

Manipulate the PS so that we have 55 players on the roster every week.

**** that one.

Cowboys signed LB Malik Jefferson to their practice squad.

Wellll, he does seem to have improved a bit in the last few years -- I'd have to guess "practice makes perfect!"

 

[Bullflop]

I still hold regrets for letting QB Matt Moore get away from us way back when. I guess we got lucky that nobody stole our cuts!
