Looks like Coleman is in, along with Arkin since Cook is out. Wonder if Spears is giving way to Crawford. Crawford might have more ability to push the pocket and play the run

Agree w/ everything except the playing the run part. I think Crawford brings more as a pass rusher over Spears. Spears is a more solid run stopper, but they've got Coleman back so...

I believe this is Marcus Spears' first healthy inactive of his career.

Who is our punter today!?

Jones

This makes me happy. Alex is a player who I think can really help us. Pressure!

Hope so although i've never seen anything on the field to make me believe so. He has impressive athletic #s but appears stiff and relatively slow on the field. Here's his chance to make his mark showing what he can do. Hopefully he does well.

Interesting they chose to sit Spears....

So we now know Victor Butler is a third stringer. Albright is the starter.

Josh Ellis ‏@josh_ellis11 Marcus Spears a healthy scratch... On a five-year, $19.2 million contract!?

I just don't understand what Spears could have done to cause him to get benched that no one has seen when everyone has seen the failings of players I won't mention on this team lose no playing time.

I'm shocked there benching spears but it makes sense. Still not pressuring as much as we need

Spencer Trickle-Down: In pregame warmups, Albright takes some ILB snaps w 2nd team, Wilber some OLB w 1st team behind Butler #Cowboys

Mickey said on the radio that Spears might be a "healthy" scratch because he could play he needed; however, he said Spears does have some type of nagging injury that could factor into the decision (I think it was his ankle).

Interesting.

Not sure what it all means or the affect it will have, but interesting none the less.

This. Alligator arms Costa is back and fully ready to spend half the game on his back again.

Per a cowboys insider. The ravens can be had on defense. But can romo and cowboys do it

With Spencer out.. Ratliff, Coleman returning... maybe this is a time to try different fronts. Wouldn't be surprised to some 4-3 looks today

#Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said on 105.3 that NT Jay Ratliff won't be limited at all against Baltimore. This is his first game of the season

#Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said on his pre-game show on 105.3 that he expects Mackenzy Bernadeau to get most of the snaps at RG.

#Cowboys' Jerry Jones on P Chris Jones on 105.3: "He was knocking the heck out of the ball in practice and we think he’ll do a great job."
