Hints of something coming?

Been nursing a sports hernia supposedly btw.

Bernard time!

Jourdan Lewis also has a chance to start there. Would kind of cement his fate of not having a chance this year in my opinion. Brown, Chido, Diggs, and Worley might be holding it down well by the time Lewis returns.

if Justin March was on the bubble...he might've just got on the 53.
i really like what im hearing about rookie Francis Bernard.

 

[freemanjc19]

Damn, how Sean Lee get fired on his Two Week Vacation. LOL

 

[jterrell]

had sean lee on my surprise cuts list.
haha as well.

 

[JohnsKey19]

So Bernard and Gifford are locks to make it now, if there was ever any doubt....this injury probably means March makes it at least until when/if Lee returns...

 

[MWH1967]

Damn...

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

What are the perks of doing this? Do they not take up a roster spot?

Yeah I thought it was interesting.

Bernard must be in beast mode right now for them to consider this.

Sean Lee needs to retire.

Exactly. I think we’ll be fine honestly the 3rd LB role isn't too prominent and I think a younger more athletic player like Gifford or Bernard could provide some juice.

Though Sean Lee calling out every play vs the Giants woulda been fun to watch

Bernard time!

Isn't Bernard more of a Mike? I thought think Joe Thomas would a candidate too.

 

[Aviano90]

Color me shocked.

I think you’re right honestly Thomas gets the first crack for sure but I think the whole playmaking ability thing could force the staff to find a way to play him if he can be versatile.

 

[Carson]

Hopefully Bernard or Thomas take it. Gifford just has bad luck with injuries

 

[Tangle_Foot]

Doesn't count against the 53 so it gives the young guys a little longer to state their case. The only question is IR injured reserve or injured retired I'm sure he chose injured reserve, it gets you paid

 

[Kaiser]

I think you’re right honestly Thomas gets the first crack for sure but I think the whole playmaking ability thing could force the staff to find a way to play him if he can be versatile.

But you read stuff that Bernard was better in pass coverage than they expected from scouting him, it he really could be a Sam it would be a big win for the scouting staff.

and this is the reason why you don't have just a very questionable small hand of LBs in camp.
injured prone Gifford, ..bernard is a middle LB, Justin march strictly a special teamer and definite bubble guy...and there's only joe thomas who is coming off a very average year as a reserve LB.

Needless to say, Cowboys will be ( should be?) browsing the waiver wire and could be possible late round trades to acquire a vet LB. .
They turned to street FA Malcolm Smith last year because of the scary thin depth at LB

Benard yes, Gifford not sure. Might see Dallas sign LB from another team cut list. Gifford from Garrett era and has been injured for 2 years. Usually that gets you cut.
