I think he would have been the Cowboys 7th round pick if they had one.

He's got a shot to be a real player. Unlike the usual riff-raff that gets hyped this time of year.

He was my favorite UDFA pickup and a guy I wanted Day 3 so to get his services free of charge is a slam dunk.

Did you really just say something positive about the Cowboys?

I can only imagine how much that must have hurt.

If DQ is going into the lab for Bell...1) there's no telling where this dude will lineup, and...2) Bell is making the team.

He should be playing the Kearse role in the preseason games.

I mentioned when we signed him that I coach with someone in his family and he told me to be on the lookout for this kid. Been hearing good things every sin e.

So a player like Dennis Houston has no real chance, but Bell does? Why, because you think so?

Wait wut? Are you inferring that Dennis Houston is the next Stepfret Williams?

It’s gonna be interesting because we have a nice group at safety and only so many spots
Someone is gonna end up on the IR with an ankle spring lol

No, because Dan Quinn seems to think so -- let's see if it works out -- what's there to lose?

That's not to say Dennis Houston won't work out, or he will -- everyone deserves a chance.

 

[Bowdown27]

Love to hear that. He was highly touted on here.

 

[gimmesix]

No, because Dan Quinn seems to think so . . . let see if it works out -- what's there to lose?!

I think Bell has a real good shot at making the roster. My comment was more about similar positive comments being made about other players. Most of us are not at camp, so I don't think we can pick and choose what praise is just hyped-up riffraff.

I'm not saying who will make the team because we have a long way to go and a lot to see before then, but I don't think we can just dismiss the praise for a player like Houston while saying that Bell has a shot. That's talking out of both sides of your mouth IMO due to how little we know and both players drawing praise.

I'm not sold on Mukuamu or Coyle, so I'm not sure how deep the position is. Kearse, Hooker and Wilson are the only guarantees.

I think Risen likes receivers about as much as he likes cornerbacks.

Houston has been displaying talents that we've been longing to be blessed with. I wouldn't dream of minimizing his chances of making the Cowboys' roster. Let's give each talented player a major opportunity to prove his wares before deciding who's worthy of roster spots and who's not. We've been blessed with some amazing talent to be tested among our UDFAs, so far in camp. I'm extremely pleased to see Dennis Houston among them. This isn't over -- much to the contrary. I'm hoping he'll get his chance to succeed as much as anyone.

Don't take that as me not wanting us to sign a vet WR. I'd be all over that because we don't know how Houston, Vasher, Turpin, etc., are going to turn out.

Agreed. The #1 consideration at his point in time is to find out who deserves what and if it will affect this team in a positive way. It's a numbers game, when all is said and done. Let's hope the final decisions are ones that will make us all proud.

There are huge decisions yet to be made. I'm hoping they will lead to a championship of some sort at season's end. Exactly what that entails will be revealed in due time. Let's keep the faith alive. We have a good team -- how good remains to be seen. I think Dennis Houston might win a place on this team if all goes well. We'll see how the chips fall. So far, so good. There are others to be hopeful of, as well.

Barr was the only vet that I felt was worth a decent contract. He's got the history to prove himself worthy, unlike some of the others. I think he has a good chance to work out. We'll see about that. Great decisions are a rare commodity for us. I'm hopeful this is one.

Wow, someone in his family has confidence in him? I'm sold! J/K, I hope he ends up being a great find for us!
