Tapper or extra RB

[Knotamus]

Its nonsense because you dont agree with it? LOL

What has Tapper done since he has been here?

Not debating here.. but that’s not fair to Tapper.

Tapper literally had a pre-existing degenerative back concern his rookie season (pars defect), then returned the following preseason and was playing great.. actually claimed a sack in the first game he played in, then was pushed aside as an inactive (bc Dallas already committed $$) for the scrub name Damontre Moore.. then broke his foot in practice. None of these scenarios was remotely his fault. So far this camp he’s flashed some, that’s saying a lot with the depth we have. Tapper has real potential. The real question is can he stay healthy? I’m on board with that concern.

Now if you want to ask the same question about Rico Gathers, Chaz Green, Duke Thomas, etc...

What have these guys done to warrant a roster spot?

 

[Knotamus]

No 4th TE. Rico can go rap.

They're keeping 7 WRs if you count Austin.

In all honesty, if Dallas used Rico as a big WR in the Redzone, like the rest of the league uses big TEs, I could see the value.. but they won’t.

It’s unfortunate, bc With Dak at the helm, I could see a big body target helping with jump balls in the endzone.

We have Zeke, Bo and Rod Smith. Don't need another RB. And didn't we bring someone back after letting him go? He was like a very fast running back.

 

[Tangle_Foot]

I'll let you know around August 31st

 

[cowboyec]

if he is healthy when the decision is made...Charles Tapper.

maybe its Jackson vs keeping 8 OL.....if the call has to be made today....Jackson....Kadeem Edwards has a real shot at being that 8th OL....right now tho....its 7.

 

[Hardline]

Zeke's never coming off the field.
Gimme Tapper. I guess I can overlook my Sooner hatred.

If the last spot on the roster was choose Tapper or the loser of the Jackson/Bo battle who would you choose?

I personally would go with Tapper mainly because the 4th RB would probably not get many snaps.

I really don't see it as much of a question, I think it's Tapper hands down over a 4th running back.

I can see them possibly keeping another running back on the practice squad, but not four on the active roster. Not with so many tight numbers elsewhere.

Tapper's obstacle to making the team is the same one it has been - injury.

If he has another one, he's gone. If not, I don't see him being cut.

 

[Zekeats]

I'm a big fan of Tapper so I want him over a lot of guys like whoever would be the 5th DT like a Jones or Price.

I agree. A fresh DL rotation is far more important than a 4th RB.

 

[JustChip]

I think people overrate interest in Bo.

Yep. He was a 7th round pick so there weren’t teams chomping at the bit to draft him. It’s unlikely they’ll be any more willing to poach him and put him on the 53 man roster.

 

[charron]

Keep tapper. Harder to find good pass rush than it is a decent RB behind this OL.

 

[EMMITTnROY]

We are loaded with potential at DE all of a sudden with Tank, Taco, Gregory, Crawford, Armstrong, Ealy and Tapper.

That said, I’d still keep Tapper. Always keep a promising DE over a 4th string RB.

Yup. I like him though, but I’m not letting go of a talented rusher like Tapper, or Thompson for him.

 

[conner01]

I rather keep a 7th WR than either of them. But if between the 2, probably Tapper.

Pass rushers are better to keep than a late round draft pick at RB. Especially if we need a RB, they will be many to choose from with the same skill sets. Bo, Darius, even Trey Willam’s, we will not lose all 3 to other teams, if any at all.

I’m not convinced either make the team
Between the two tapper has a slim chance of getting a few snaps. Bo wouldn’t even be active unless there is an injury
Bo needs to be on PS, tapper needs to stay healthy

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Tappers garbage and hes injury prone and were deep at that position. I would have cut Tapper long ago. And since our entire offense and team success is centered around the run game, I would keep Bo without a 2nd thought.

Do you like anyone on the Cowboys? Every post I read you are saying someone is garbage.

 

[Klingo3034]

I go for another safety.

 

[jay94]

Tapper with two choices.

 

[Billyd]

I think both are important for the reasons above and because just like positions like safety, injuries gonna happen..I think the possibility of an injury to dend is med to high before training camp ends...So They keep Tapper in the mix till the last cut down..Bo can get to the practice squad..The fact he lasted as long as he did to begin with speaks volumes..
I admit i didnt know Bo caught as good as he does...

Having three backs capable, running, catching, and hopefully bo can Block be solid for the Cowboys..That FB stilll going to surprise as well..

Bo and tapper both make this team..As of right now, But Seven dends? ELY was a hype train, unless he does something he aint making it..

DLAW, Taco, Crawford, Armstrong, Gregory, Tapper is six..Am i missing somebody?

 

[America's Cowboy]

I would rather keep an extra Safety than either Tapper or Bo for the simple reason that the DE and RB positions are well stacked while the Safety position isn't.

Rico=Tapper>Jackson...
