Did Cropper get picked up? Houston and Cox were both awful.
The only one I’ve been worried about is Alarcon…..I haven’t slept a wink in the last 24 horas.
You're not being anecdotal, are you?
Cropper signed to the practice squad.
Thanks, speed!
If you still want to be active, I can',t stress enough . . . get a bicycle. Like a decent mountain bike.
53 also - just had rotator repaired - as well as labrum cleaned up and bicep tendonesis (or whatever it is called - they move bicep tendon down so it isn't pulling on joint) - and you are scaring hell outta me because I want to keep exercising - getting old sucks. Tall, long-limbed Oline guys with that many shoulder issues that young - likely to be a tough thing to over-come for Woletzko I think - is cruddy when joints just not build like the "Larry Allen" or "Mazi" style titanium....
Does a Harley count. I enjoyed powerlifting for over 20-25 years before the serious injuries started. I knew I should have backed off and lifted lighter for more reps years earlier. For some reason I just didn’t want to. Hard headed idiot is what I am. I remember being younger and saying to workout partners we are gonna train today and try to break something. Then one day something breaks. Lol. First bad injury was torn tricep and tricep tendon. Nice deformed arm. Healed up and found a way to go back heavy. Then the real fun started. Lol.
You can still work out. My second tare was fluke. 2 movements will reinjure it. A heavy weighted backhand or forehand sudden movement like tennis backhand or forehand stroke. I had a heavy tree limb and grabbed it and tried to throw it up on a pile. Wrong angle. The other is grabbing something heavy up high and don’t realize how heavy it is and the sudden pull downward. Like some one in the back of a truck handing you a heavy suitcase or something and your standing on the ground and reach up and grab it and they let it go and the sudden weight pulling downward.
Six veteran players have been allowed ever since covid.
They did that as a way to keep veteran players around instead of their careers being over because teams didn't have a place for them on the 53. I think it's pretty cool and should have been done years ago.
What info?
Can't really blame him. He got leaped here by Clark and Harper, who were both taken later than he was. Probably looking for somewhere where he feels he'd be given more of a chance to compete.
For sure. And other teams knows the vets body of work and have a great chance to catch on with another team when injuries happen.
Plus.. other than stopping danny dimes on the goal line I haven’t seen to much from him. Not saying he didn’t do more but just not jumping off the page.
I think like Joseph that Cox does not have a high football IQ. He's a player who needs what he does to be kept simple. That's easier at corner than it is at linebacker. Sometimes physical ability isn't enough.
I agree, but players like them can develop into pretty good players with experience. I don't know about Joseph because he seems to be particularly slow to avoid dumb penalties, but Cox could see the lightbulb go on one day. My only issue with the way the Cowboys handled him was signing Barr last year to take reps from him and let him develop. No one will convince me Barr was any good either.
They are both in their third year, so I don't know if they would have developed enough to stay beyond their rookie deals. They needed to take huge steps this year and only took baby steps. Now, I thought Joseph was quite good in the preseason games, but in the camp footage, he was constantly getting beat. I'm sure that was a factor in the decision. At linebacker, I thought Harper outplayed Cox. Might could have kept them both because of the depth issues there, but we clearly think more of the safety/linebacker hybrids than we do Cox.
