Your Final 53 Projection

[erod]

Nope. I rather keep a good backup who can play a real position. These 3 are centers and i'm sure they have long snapped before. I believe Long Snapper is overrated as a single position. WHAT'S NEXT ? Placeholder?

Wow. Your list is fine except for this. (Fine except for cutting Lawrence and a few others, which ain't happening.)

Long snapping and field goal snapping is ultra critical and not easy to find.

Centers can't do it. It's a special skill that requires constant dedicated practice.

I wish that was the case. I'm older and remember backup players being Long Snappers. I rather hope we could keep a bubble player instead.

I didn't start this thread. But cutting DLaw isn't going to happen. Completely unrealistic.

Why ? The guy is over 30 and Sam Williams has outplayed him. Lawrence hasn't had a great sack season since signing that big contract. Armstrong & Fowler are younger and get just as many as sacks as Lawrence in limited time.

Lawrence stats last few years are not that impressive.

No team does this.

 

[Captain-Crash]

A guy I liked after I heard the comments about him is Bass. A good backup and a mean, mauler guy. That's what we need. Hopefully, he can turn out to be a smaller Kevin Gogan. Same number. I know he's no Gogan, but I hope he has the ferocity as Kevin did.

 

[Hawkeye19]

Looks as close as I would have guessed. I didn't know Land was LBer, the majority of the time I saw him he was playing a DE position.
At CB, I don't think Scott makes it, goes to PS and Hunter is added as a FB/TE role.

Yah… Scott to PS and Hunter making the 53 is a fine swap. Just comes down to who we think might get snapped up.

I think CB runs a slightly higher chance of making somebody’s 53 vs a FB— but I am fine with risking Scott honestly

Add in Williams situation and it's even less likely the Cowboys move on from DLaw.

According to the link you provided, DLaw had the most combined tackles in his career last year. He is a very solid above average DE in this league and made the pro bowl last year.

What purpose does Nashon Wright serve on this 53 ?

Special teams and he can size up on taller WRs.

I want sacks and that is what Edge Rushers are supose to do.

I agree.a good backup Olinemen is better than any other backup positions apart from a backup QB and hard to find too.

 

[TasteMyScythe]

Once they made him the starting QB they signed Mike Saxon.

Saxon didn't sign with Dallas until 1985....White got his start in 1980. It wasn't like the Cowboys weren't looking for a punter in those 5 years, Danny was better.

Of course there will be some churning of the roster after final cuts in a couple of days, and maybe another trade such as Lewis getting shipped.

Scott is definitely making it. They love him.

 

[conner01]

Just some of your issues....

Hunter Luepke not making this team...PS

Lawrence isn't getting cut

Biadiaz,Hoffman,Farinok are NOT long snappers, it's a specialty position

Issiac Alarcon is not going to the practice squad...his time on this team is OVER

I think Luepke has a better shot than a 4th RB does

Ball is going to IR so bass gets in but a pretty good shot at the 53

 

[Manwiththeplan]

W save $0 by cutting DLawrence and he still counts $17 million against the cap

His salary is guaranteed.
