I realize deductive reasoning power might be a complicated process.

Marinelli and Woicik have discussed it. Daryl Johnston has discussed it. Michael Irvin has discussed it. They don't get their hands on players but for a couple of weeks after the draft before camp. They can't prepare them.
Hamstring injuries are rampant. Look.
You use words like rampant. You name drop a few people.... Many not directly involves with preparing athletes for a season.

You don't offer concrete DATA. You say I should just take your word for it. I... Won't.

Gice me the statistics. Anecdotes are legion and useless.

And a big LOL @ your use of deductive reasoning while having no hard data yet alone any that are statistically significant.

Geez, your act is so tired. Seriously.

I watch football. You should try it. This isn't hard. I'm not spending my evening doing statistical data research to satisfy some perverted internet warrior complex you've developed.

Run along. Find a friend.

Don't like the message so insult the messenger?

You claimed that this was some wide spread well understood truth. I asked for evidence.

I'm sorry that offended your sensibilities. I didn't know you were so... Sensitive.

Not sensitive. Just bored of the act, which is the only gear you have here. With everyone.

You contribute nothing here.

I dunno. Seems like a fair amount appreciate my contributions. I'm sorry to have hurt your feelings forcing you to throw-up insults, falsehoods and your feelings all over this thread.

And to think...all I wanted was the data you kept referencing. You then provided embarrassing links that offered up contradictory evidence to what you were trying to prove and then insulted my ability to deduce and reason when I pointed this out.

Shame.

He's not qualified for the PUP list.

And secondly he's the #5 receiver. He ain't getting many snaps in the starting offense.

Even without practicing much over the past 3 weeks there's no doubt in my mind he could go out vs. the Giants and run the 2 or 3 plays the offense has for him. And he plays the slot and not outside. He has a limited number of routes (at this point) he needs to know.
Apparently he ain't getting many snaps in any offense
He might have a limited knowledge base to learn....but he ain't had no field play....much less "live fire".
I'm remaining reserved for a player that ain't played...yet.

fwiw he was out there in uniform and went through the return drills.

He then stood and watched 7 on 7 and 11 vs 11 in warm ups which was odd. I thought he would at least get in some reps.

The 1st fumble on a return will be attributed to what?
The other team making a good play?

The man has been returning punts at a high level for 4+ years.

He's injured. What do people want from him? To just not have a hamstring?

This is ridiculous.

Well he's not Zeke. Fair enough that he is our only choice on special teams, which is a bad position to be in, but he needs reps.

If he doesn't take a rep all preseason but is standing under the first punt in the Giants game......sorry any Cowboy fan should be nervous, cause he will probably be sweating bullets.


This is a bit over blown. If they have determined he can play at a high level and help the team (like Zeke did last year) you don't force him to play and injure the hamstring further. Better to have him healthy for than to force him to play out of some sense of "he needs to play".

No more ridiculous than placing him on some type of injury list....because he's injured. Every guy on the team.....Right now.....can use your description of "high level for 4+ years"....i.e. Kellen Moore.

As for him being a good/great returner.......we ain't seen it at this level yet or at all.

No one saying he should be cut.....but if I got a healthy player right now....does the healthy one get cut next week due to roster limitations?

I think anyone who thought he would pass Brice Butler on the depth chart even without the injury, hasn't been paying attention.
Doesn't make Brice any less of a scrub though. Don't be shocked when Switzer slices Butlers playing time in half by mid season
