When do you think we start to incorporate Stanback

I would expect Stanback to get more time on Special teams and maybe a few plays being worked in on offense. I don't think true impact will be known until next season after getting a full off-season, training camp and pre-season to understand the position of WR and learning the offense.

into the WR role?

I was getting the distinct feeling that Wade was going to get him a little bit involved in the mix at WR assuming Stanback could hold down the KR job (so he would be on the active day roster).

I guess Stanback's shoulder put him back a little bit, but it appears he is close to 100% now. Well, at least he's fully participating in practice.

I think we'll see something in the next couple of weeks.

This is a great thread and question.

I hope very soon and he was on his way until that unfortunate set back couple weeks ago to the shoulder. :bang2:

Very frustrating.....he's had 3 kick returns.

He is a rookie who missed most of camp I don't expect all rookies to come in and be instant success. Dallas liked what they saw in him and he will get his opportunity be it later this season or next. How he will do is anyone’s guess but the kid has talent and it is up to the coaching staff to try and get the most out of that talent. Your agenda really gets old around here.

I'd like to see our "3rd pick of the 2007 Draft" get on the field.

He may have been the 3rd player taken by us but he is still a 4th rd pick no matter how you try and spin it.

I remain convinced we will see more of Stanback this season, and we will see him at the WR position (this is all predicated on him not getting injured) on occasion.

Yup, same here.

He is a project. I did not expect him to see the field at all this season in any capacity, so he has already surpassed my expectations. Now my expectations have changed and I expect to see Stanback returning kicks again at some point this season.

Going into the draft, last time I checked, KR was not a priority.

He needs to get on the field and show us what he can do.

We're incorporating him? I thought we were making him an LLC?

When he is ready he will play.

Just like Henry. When he is healthy he will return as the starter.

Why are you in such a rush? He is a ROOKIE who is learning a new position.

Who said he was drafted only as a kick returner? He was drafted to be a project as a wide receiver. Being a returner is the bonus and even then was somewhat of a project at that as well because he did not do it often in college. Of course he had to also rehab from his pre-existing injury first. An injury that everyone, especially the Cowboys coaches and management knew about and content to live with when they drafted him.

He needs to show the coaches what he can do and I have a feeling he has already done that. That is why he hit the field as a return man already this year and only an injury has prevented him from continuing in that roll. It is amazing that you don't understand the concept of injuries. You seem to ignore them when you discuss Henry as well.

i think it is funny people do not get the concept of late round draft choices that need time to be groomed :banghead::banghead::banghead:
