What bubble player makes team now that Orlando won't count on the 53?
I'd say Tim scott. That'd be good because he's a cb/s.
Bishop, Gardner or Showers one of them I believe benefits from this. The Break wasn't sure about these 3
I can't believe we may lose Ken Bishop and we're gonna keep Hayden. I just don't get it.
We'll make some team aching at DT happy with that cut.

I don't think Hayden and DT McClain are locks for the roster. Neither have practiced much. In their absence, Coleman and Bishop have been more than adequate and have shown improvement over last year and potential to get even better. The arrow is pointing up for Coleman and Bishop and down for Hayden and McClain.
Right now, if I had to guess, I would say Bishop and Coleman make the roster over Hayden and McClain to start the season. It will be their job to keep as the season progresses. If they can't get the job done several weeks into the season, maybe Hayden will be brought back. I doubt anyone picks up Hayden. McClain might be available later since there is a better than 50/50 probability no one picks him up either.
Swaim (I was keeping him over Hanna anyway) ... although I could see us keeping Gibson now.
My breakdown is:
QBs: Romo, Weeden, Vaughan (Showers on PS)
RBs: Randle, McFadden, Dunbar, Clutts (Johnson on PS)
TEs: Witten, Escobar, Swaim, Hanna
WRs: Bryant, Williams, Beasley, Street, Whitehead (Harwell, Porter on PS)
OL: Smith, Leary, Frederick, Martin, Free, Weems, Collins, Bernadeau (Gibson on PS, Green on PUP)
DL: Mincey, T. Crawford, Coleman, Lawrence, Gregory, J. Crawford, Hayden, T. McClain, Bishop, Russell, Gardner (Hardy suspended, Obada on PS)
LB: Lee, Hitchens, Wilber, Wilson, Brinkley, Gachkar (McClain suspended, K. Smith on PS)
DBs: Carr, Church, Wilcox, Claiborne, Jones, White, Patmon, Heath, McCray (Scott on PS)
ST: Bailey, Ladouceur, Jones
I acknowledge that keeping 11 DL is a little high (especially since we'd actually be keeping 12 with Hardy), so one of those guys might go for a ninth OL. We also could keep Keith Smith over one of the DL if he continues to play like he did the other night and contribute on ST.
I can't see Hayden going anywhere, but I do think McClain could lose his spot.
Why? What has Hayden done so far in camp? Nothing. Hayden isn't making the final roster unless he shows something soon, like right now, No one is picking him up if the Cowboys cut him, So, he is a safe cut that the Cowboys can always add a week or two or three into the season. Not so with Bishop.
