Nice to see #Cowboys WR Miles Austin running routes. Had 10 rec during week 1 against The Giants. #nflnetwork pic.twitter.com/aU9cVvAzFI

Holloman and Austin were back at practice on Wednesday. Both running with the ones then too.

At least looks like defense will be getting some help. Would feel so much better if Lee were able to play. Big game, but games like this is when players need to step it up.

Hatcher and Ware would help, if both can contribute meaningful snaps. It'd be nice to get a useful update from someone in the media re: Ware's issue...whether he reaggravated the injury or we're actually two weeks further along toward him potentially getting over it.
Having Lee out is huge, but I have to say that I'm really interested to see Holloman get some real snaps on defense. I hope he's ready.

Most everyone says he reaggravated the quad. But it could still mean a couple weeks before he's fully over it.

 

[ShiningStar]

non of this making me feel better. Nor should it of any of our defensive coaches.

 

[reddyuta]

They have figure out why Cruz is wide open all the TIME.

Man. This DL stuff is beyond ridiculous. On the one hand, there's no doubt we'd be a much, much better team with Spencer, Crawford, Bass, and a healthy Hatcher and Ware in the lineup. Or any combination that got us some meaningful snaps from most of those guys. And I don't think it's reasonable to blame the staff for the sheer volume of snaps we've missed at those DL positions this season.

On the other hand, the Ratliff deal was a fiasco, and it's also not fair to let the team off the hook entirely. We *do* have a ton of DL money committed to older players, and some of this *was* foreseeable.

I go back and forth between blaming the organization and just damning our luck, but I'll tell you what: I"m sure sick and tired of this. I read somewhere that, league-wide, ~20% of starting game-day rosters are on IR at this point in the season. Why does it seem that our 20% all has to come from one position group all the time?

People are down on him but Clairborne would help to. Particularly with us focusing on more man

Last year, they completely eliminated Cruz. If you put your hands on him, and get physical with him, he disappears.

Playing zone makes him a huge factor.

Calvin makes me laugh.

How many years has he been reporting stories about "Miles", not "Myles" Austin.

Taylor Reed was in training camp with the team.

What does that mean? Isn't he one of the most recent signings to the PS?

Humm...

What does "laying in the cut watching" mean?

He did well against Nicks last year and now Nicks is a shell of himself so far this season. No reason we can't play man against the Giants. It would be nice to see Claiborne get a pick six Randle is who scares me.

I hate Calvin so much.

Was Wade "sippin on gin and juice" too, Calvin, you ol' gangsta, you?

Moron.

Oh, no doubt. Webb's a liability in the slot. We just haven't been burned badly by it yet. We want Scandrick in there as soon as possible.

“@chris_randall7: with Miles Austin coming back, what does that mean for Williams productivity? Is Williams still with the 1's?”

Nope

At least Calvin has Jean-Jacques Taylor around to prove that there are people dumber and more incompetent that Calvin. Nick Eatman might be in that category also.

They have figure out why (insert name of any WR/TE/RB in the league) is wide open all the TIME.

I changed your thread slightly.

GRRRRRRRRRRRR.

 

[Direwolf63]

GRRRRRRRRRRRR.

No question to me that Terrence Williams has earned the #2 receiver spot. And Austin should be #3.

But given that the team is usually in 3 receiver sets anyway, it doesn't really make that much difference. The guy losing playing time will be Beasley.

Austin is better when healthy right now.

Given how this offense has produced lately, we need Austin back starting.

 

[lwehlers]

GRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Williams has not earned the the number 2 spot yet to me. he been having trouble beating man corner coverage in the last two weeks and disappearing in parts of games. he seems to get most of his catches in zone coverage.
