Welcome to the Cowboys Chris Whaley

I wonder how he has come along from his ACL surgery.

I wonder how he has come along from his ACL surgery.

I think they might just put him on IR for the season.

That or PUP him. He can rehab with Spencer for a while.

 

[DBOY3141]

If he had not torn in ACL, what round was he projected to be drafted in?

 

[cowboyschmps3]

pup then IR, red shirt year, don't see why we gotta rush him in.

 

[cowboyschmps3]

Seeing those wheels damn idk if he's healthy mid season? Ha ok never-mind

 

[xwalker]

Yes, they probably start all of them on PUP.

I like the idea of using PUP/IR to carry more developmental players on the roster.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Highlights that don't show complete snaps are almost worthless. DL is very difficult to get a feel for with a small sample size as it is.

 

[Doc50]

Might be ready by the playoffs.

Wait -- playoffs?

I did not realize it until just now. I think he is the kid that got hurt during the WVU/Texas game and was carted off the field.

Yeah he was hurt vs WVU

 

[Alexander]

If he had not torn in ACL, what round was he projected to be drafted in?

Probably would have fallen into rounds 5-6 in that range. A slight step above players like Jimmy Staten in the 5th. His injury may have made players like Jay Bromley and Khyri Thornton more valuable as there was a shortage of three techniques after Donald. He is worth redshirting.

I think he'll be ready by October.

 

[DBOY3141]

Looks like he got hurt on Nov 9th, don't know when he got surgery, but it may be a stretch to see him back this year. Hope he can, would be good to get him some reps. and see what we have going into 2015.

 

[xwalker]

I think he'll be ready by October.

It would be better if he's not ready. They can only integrate a limited number of rookies into the roster in 1 year. Keeping him on PUP/IR allows them to protect his rights for a year without taking up a roster spot.

Glad he's here, frustrated we gotta wait...

It is going to be a crowded group at DT is players like Bishop and Coleman turn out to be legitimate. I would rather redshirt him and ensure his health than rush him back and expose him to other team's taking him off a practice squad or force us to cut him to begin with.

 

[Oh_Canada]

IR him, get him ready for next year. I think it was a great signing.

No doubt, simply alluding to the fact that we get a lot of broken gems...
