Post your first cut predictions

[Doomsday]

No shit Sherlock. Again I didn't KNOW he had played in that last preseason game when I posted that.

I had the advantage of actually reading the article. I also do that before I post it as a bolster for my own argument.

 

[dbair1967]

Why would it ever.... fucking.... happen? You cut a guy early, you don't even want him suited up for the last game, then you sign him to the PS?

I guess we'll see.

I just think they've been doing it so long that odds are it probably has happened. It's probably happened here with the Cowboys at some point.

 

[Doomsday]

And it CLEARLY SAID "released prior to final cutdowns" in the article, did it not?

Why do you trust these egghead sports writers? Most of them don't know shit from Shineola and can't really fucking write for clarity anyhow.

It's reasonable to say that as speculation, but earlier you were quite sure. You were stating it as fact.

So, that's progress.

Why? The guy has proven he cant play DE and he isn't a fit at 4-3 OLB

I saw a blurb in CZ where one of the Cowboy people said the other reason they cut Wilson was due to some injury concern.

What else do we have besides him? We have to keep what we have in regards to pass rush.

I'm just trying to have a reasonable discussion here Man, not trying to get nasty or argue just for the sake of argument. I'm being a honest broker.

Cut the only guy making plays - wouldn't want a culture of playmaking to develop now would we?

Was he giving us any real pass rush?

Doomsday cuts: Tony Romo, then we will win.

dbair cuts: whoever we cut was the right choice. See also: Zone cuts

Bob's cuts: Black players

My cuts: Barry Church

Doomsday cuts: Tony Romo, then we will win.

Mighta traded him while he still had some value and not that monster of a contract stopping it. But wouldn't cut him.

Thanks for the giggle though.

 

[Doomsday]

But hell - if we lose Romo to injury and that means we now commit to the run, we might well win more.

 

[Iamtdg]

Was he giving us any real pass rush?

He was giving us more than what we have now that we cut him.

That's a lot different than saying it's happened tons of times or happens every year. It may have happened somewhere in NFL history... but I would bet it's the exception and not the rule. Certainly not expecting any of the Cowboys cuts to this point being stashed on the PS.

Dallas Cowboys cut-down analysis
By Todd Archer

Most significant move: The Matt Johnson era has not officially ended, but the safety was waived by the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday as part of the roster moves to reach the NFL-mandated 75-player limited.

A fourth-round draft pick in 2012, Johnson never played in a game. He missed his rookie season with recurring hamstring injuries as well as a back injury. He suffered an ankle injury in the 2013 preseason and was placed on injured reserve after having surgery.

Despite his limited practices, the Cowboys liked Johnson’s potential and kept waiting for him to get healthy. He suffered a hamstring injury early in training camp this summer in Oxnard, California, and was unable to return to practice. He returned to Dallas early to see if back problems were causing the hamstring issues but no relation was found.

If Johnson clears waivers, he would revert to injured reserve and the Cowboys could eventually receive an injury settlement.

Cowboys remain patient: By placing Amobi Okoye on the reserve/non-football illness list, the Cowboys are buying more time on the veteran defensive tackle. He will be unable to play in the first six games of the regular season but he will be able to continue his conditioning work as he attempts to return from anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis, a brain disease that left him in a coma for three months last year. Okoye was cleared for full football activities by his doctor on Aug. 14 but the team is choosing to be cautious in his return after such a long layoff with the hope he could return by midseason.

Cowboys' moves: QB Caleb Hanie, WR Chris Boyd, TE Jordan Najvar (waived/injured), G Wayne Tribue, DL Adewale Ojomo, DE Ben Gardner (injured reserve), DT Amobi Okoye (reserve/NFI), LB DeVonte Holloman (waived/injured), CB Justin Green (waived injured), S Johnny Thomas (waived injured), S Matt Johnson (waived injured), P Tom Hornsey, LS Casey Kreiter
