Waiver wire update

[Ken]

The one that was fixed, wasn't fixed. It's a constant issue for him off and on.

He's a terrific player, or they'd just cut ties with him by now.

I haven't heard that, I just know the shoulder that is keeping him out now was the opposite shoulder.

Someone needs to get involved in his workout regimen. He is doing too much benching. That is what I did when i was younger (subluxated both shoulders, multiple times- including both in one game lol) and it pushes your shoulder out the back of your shoulder socket if you don't strengthen all of the muscles around it.

For real? I didn't know that. I had both of mine repaired. I tore my left one again. I'm tired of surgeries so my PT told me I need to strengthen the muscles around my rotator cuff to help it out. He showed me some exercises and that's what I've been doing these past 3 months and so far, it's helped.

My surgeon told me my first tare was about 80%.. he repaired it. 11 months went by and was throwing brush on a pile and it ripped again. All the way. When he looked at the MRI he said he could fix it one more time but if it tares again then it’s shredded and no way to sew it together again. I have a partial tare in it and fear it ripping all the way. I am doing the same thing you are. Strengthening the muscles around it.

It might be a case by case thing as far as it being able to be fixed twice. Likely depends on how bad the tare is. The ends of mine looked like a shredded ribbon.

Doo you mean 275 touches?

Yes, and his value will increase as well.

I can't believe they cut Farniok. He played well at Center this preseason, but cutting him leaves Biadiasz without a backup. If the Cowboys plan on bringing in someone else for backup Center, that's going to take several weeks for that new backup to get used to the scheme and assignments.

I agree. He did well. Trying to get him on the PS. If they try to poach him he has the option to stay. Most leave so they get a chance to start and get paid. But JJ can pay him more if he wants. He did that with the TE we kept forever, I think it was Rico. That experiment lasted forever. Someone tried to poach him and JJ paid him couple hundred thousand to stay on the PS.

What's your take from what you've seen on Luepke.I really like him.

He still reminds me straight up of a young Walt Garrison...honestly.

Yeah, bigger though. I think Walt weighed around 200 or 205. He was one tough guy though.

 

[XXLMike]

I know he suspended for two games but where does Ronald Jones fit in on this team? Is he going to be released when he gets over the suspension?

 

[Runwildboys]

His shoulder has been a mess since college. It's why he wasn't drafted higher. It's fried.

I thought it was the other shoulder this time?

 

[glimmerman]

He still reminds me straight up of a young Walt Garrison...honestly.

When he was running against 3rd stringers and people that are out of a job today he looked strong. Seemed like he had the it factor. I hope he can do it in regular season against starters. Someone I have not heard from or seen this whole preseason is Hendershot. At first I feared he was gonna be cut but I guess he is a lock. He reminds me a little of Luepke.

 

[CCBoy]

Yeah, bigger though. I think Walt weighed around 200 or 205.

A good runner with blocking and short yardage demands. Overall strong player contributing. I like him similarly to role.

In 1968, he tallied 45 carries for 271 yards and 5 touchdowns as a backup player. In 1969, he took over at fullback after the retirement of Don Perkins, posting a career-high 818 rushing yards, while scoring 2 touchdowns and forming one of the league's best running back duos with Calvin Hill.

I think he will be gone. Luepke will take his spot. We have Pollard, Deuce, Luepke, Dowdle.

it is

Either that or he take Luepke's spot.

 

[gimmesix]

Figured they would. Might do the same with Cox if no one claims him.

Fans have got to stop looking at the roster like it's only made up of the 53 active players. The way the PS is set up now, a lot of those players are potential contributors at a position because of the call-ups and some of those will be vets.

 

[erod]

It's all the shoulders.

Faster too, better hands, better blocker. His upside is high.

 

[rambo2]

I suspect that Luepke will be a Cowboy for a long time.

I expect barring injury he’ll just be cut when his suspension ends.
