Signed by Cowboys Report: Cowboys sign defensive tackle Richard Ash

[_sturt_]

Question admittedly undeserving of its own thread, so I ask it here...

Ya know.... just two years ago, Selvie (now 29) and Hayden (now 30) were starters.

Say we lose a DE for the playoffs (not exactly an obscure possibility given Jerry's post-game remark).

Would you give one or both free agents a tryout for that opened roster slot?

If Dicky boy chooses to stay in Jax instead of signing with Cowboys, I'm not sure he's smart enough for us to want him here!

Is Dick rubbing you the wrong way already?

 

[DenCWBY]

He is a body to give our guys a breather and keep their legs fresh at the end of games. If Marinelli finds a way to have him help the team, I'm sold. Not everyone on a team has to be a person who could hold a 1st string spot. On any Superbowl winning team there are many guys just playing a small but important role.

They see something in him for the present or even perhaps the future, that's fine. I also understand your not going to find pro bowlers on the waiver wire at this time of the year. Who knows, he could turn into another David Irving under the right situation. We'll see.

Found this from Jags beat writer's twitter... fwiw...

Unlike poor Darius Jackson...

.......who's relived the Browns claimed him before Chip Kelly.

 

[csirl]

Maybe he's just the big fattie some of us have been asking for to stuff the middle on 3rd/4th and 1. 333 is a start.

Been signed to land on top of Wentz.

Talk about waking up and winning the lottery. From a 3-12 squad to a 13-2 one that is playing for all the marbles. Not a bad 53 man roster to get on, if you can find the work.

Follow-up tweet said he thought Ash would have been a definite-maybe for next year's 53-man in JAX.

Thanks for the update, wonder who they let go to make room for Ash?

Ryan Davis went to I.R

 

[Qbert]

Exactly. Worried someone is going to claim Rico. I would promote him to the 53 ASAP

Practice squad players aren't able to be claimed, they have to agree to sign with a team

Ryan Davis went to I.R

Thanks

 

[Mr Cowboy]

Scott Galbraith was signed after the last regular season game in 92, and joined the Cowboys on their first SB run and got a ring. He agreed to sign for only the playoff money he would get per game.

Need to sign Shaneil Jenkins from Seahawks PS. Ash is contingency for TMCCLAIN and Thornton who are gimpy at 1 tech.

Need another pass rusher. Sign Jenkins, trust that the Seahawks know how to find good players.

The Dallas Cowboys are bringing in defensive reinforcements just ahead of the playoffs.

On Wednesday, it's being reported the team has now signed defensive tackle Richard Ash from the Jacksonville Jaguars practice squad, a move that shores up their ailing defensive line.

To make room for the addition of defensive end Randy Gregory, the team released defensive tackle Zach Moore who was claimed off waivers by the San Francisco 49ers. The Cowboys had hoped Moore would land back on the practice squad where he sat prior to December, but it didn't happen.

Ash was signed by the Jaguars as an undrafted free agent in 2015 out of Western Michigan and spent time on and off of the team's practice squad and active roster before now being picked up by the Cowboys.

Is McClain injury that bad?

Who gets cut if we sign another DL?

RG is a wasted roster spot.

 

[Vinnie2u]

According to the internet, big Dick Ash is 333 lbs. I assume he would play 1-Tech.

That's a big dude. I assume he was bought in to stand next to Romo on the sidelines. To make Romo look Svelt.
