Scout's Eye: Which Of The Cowboys' Cuts Have Practice Squad Potential?
http://www.dallascowboys.com/news/2...ch-cowboys-cuts-have-practice-squad-potential
IRVING, Texas – This is always one of the toughest days on the NFL calendar, and I remember it well from my time as a scout in this league. It’s a necessary step toward the regular season, but the Cowboys just cut 20 young guys who spent the last five months giving everything they had to make the team.
In light of that, I wanted to go over all of these guys and share with you what I saw during training camp. On top of that, I want to talk about which of these guys have a future with the Cowboys as potential practice squad players.
Ray Agnew, FB: It was always going to be difficult for him to make the roster with how much the staff used Tyler Clutts in those various offensive roles and on special teams. Most extensive playing time came in that final preseason game against the Texans and there was nothing special.
Donnie Baggs, LB: Will likely end up on the practice squad if he clears waivers. He’s a nice fit in this scheme due to his ability to run and chase the ball. Showed the ability to finish when he was in position. Appears to have some position flex with his game at linebacker.
Ben Gardner, DE: Thought it was going to be close on whether he made the roster or not. Might be a guy that is a better game day player than he is a practice one. Very productive against the 49ers and Texans, but also had his moments where he disappeared. Struggled to win consistently one-on-one against lesser competition. ..
