On second thought, the injury is now looking to not be as bad as initially thought.

They're saying Jenkins is day-to-day. I wouldn't let him get back out there until he's 100% though. Scandrick is good enough to hold the position down.

Awesome catch by Marty B in practice the other day.

Backups looked terrible.

[steeljake]

whats that i smell? yup, it's failure.

[Rayman]

Whatever. First preseason game means little. First team looked fine.

There were rough spots, but I'm encouraged by some things I saw.

[steeljake]

me too, i think 8-8 might just be out of reach.

[Rayman]

No less than 10 wins as long as the line and Romo stay healthy.

I'm thinking they end up closer to 12.


BTW, keep hating. It's cute.

You guys need to check out Tashard's youtube page, some hilarious videos on there.

I'm sure they can do it.

You know what sucks? Aside from that little note, this is also the only decade in which they've not appeared in a conference championship game. And even with all the playoff frustrations, they still have the most playoff wins all-time.

Quite a feat. Let's hope they add to it.

Lions went undefeated last year in the preseason and look what heappened

[steeljake]

Steeljake u r one srry no life bastard just get out of this thread plz

[dboy_dc]

OMG we need to cut Courteny Browns ass. This faggot was the reason we lost against San Fran.

he's fast though, so if we cut him oakland would swoop him right up

[Rayman]

he's fast though, so if we cut him oakland would swoop him right up

He'll be one of the last cuts as long as we don't lose another rookie back there.

[Rayman]

Yes! we cut that worthless piece of shit Courtney Brown.

Cory Proctor still has a job. This to me is unacceptable. Will give a 53 man roster breakdown shortly.

Cowboys place Rudy Carpenter, Jesse Holley, and Manny Johnson on the practice squad per a tweet from Martellus Bennett 26 minutes ago.

Stanback Among Saturday's Cuts
Posted by nickeatman at 9/5/2009 4:41 PM CDT on truebluefanclub.com

The Cowboys have turned in their roster cuts to the NFL, and among the big names include wide receivers Isaiah Stanback and Jesse Holley, who scored the winning touchdown Friday night in Minnesota, and late-round draft picks DeAngelo Smith and Mike Mickens, a pair of defensive backs from the University of Cincinnati.

In all, the Cowboys released 22 players and put another on injured reserve. That actually puts the roster at 52 players. It’s likely the Cowboys will claim another player on Sunday.

Stanback, a fourth-round pick in 2007, has struggled to stay healthy and transition himself as a receiver from a quarterback in college. He has just two reception in two injury-plagued seasons.

Not on this list is rookie wide receiver Kevin Ogletree, the only undrafted player to make the team. Ogletree scored two touchdowns in the preseason, including the first of five scores by the Cowboys in Friday’s 35-31 preseason win over the Vikings.

Other so-called “bubble” guys that have made it for now include guards Cory Procter and Montrae Holland and nose tackle Junior Siavii, who hasn’t played an NFL game since 2006.

The Cowboys decided to move rookie linebacker Stephen Hodge to injured reserve. The sixth-round pick from TCU never fully recovered from a knee injury that required surgery in July. Hodge joins Robert Brewster and Brandon Williams among draft picks that will be lost for the 2009 season.

Here’s a list of the cuts and roster moves made on Saturday:




Injured Reserve:
Stephen Hodge

Waived:
Travis Bright

Courtney Brown

Rudy Carpenter

Scott Chandler

Julius Crosslin
Marcus Dixon
Tearrius George
Ryan Gibbons
Jeremy Haynes

Jesse Holley

Mike Jefferson

Manuel Johnson
Keon Lattimore (waived/injured)

Mike Mickens
Willie Reid

Derreck Robinson

Asaph Schwapp

Jonas Seawright

DeAngelo Smith

Isaiah Stanback

Matt Stewart

DeAngelo Willingham

LOL @ people who thought Jesse Holley stood any shot at making the roster. (I'm looking at you, Deviant). This dude was never anything special and was outclassed by Ogletree (my pick as the #5 receiver, more on that in a bit) from Day 1.

Here's our 52:

9 Romo, Tony QB
3 Kitna, Jon QB
7 McGee, Stephen QB

24 Barber, Marion RB
28 Jones, Felix RB
23 Choice, Tashard RB

34 Anderson, Deon FB

11 Williams, Roy WR
84 Crayton, Patrick WR
19 Austin, Miles WR
17 Hurd, Sam WR
85 Ogletree, Kevin WR (How the hell did this guy go undrafted? He's a stud)

82 Witten, Jason TE
80 Bennett, Martellus TE
89 Phillips, John TE

76 Adams, Flozell OT
75 Colombo, Marc OT
68 Free, Doug OT (Had a great preseason until he got abused in the last game. I consider him the LT of the future)
77 McQuistan, Pat OT

70 Davis, Leonard G
63 Kosier, Kyle G
64 Holland, Montrae G

65 Gurode, Andre C
71 Procter, Cory C (ugh, WHY?)
69 Preston, Duke C

18 Buehler, David K (Will be a huge asset, more than many realize)
6 Folk, Nick K

91 Ladouceur, L.P. LS

1 McBriar, Mat P

90 Ratliff, Jay DT
78 Siavii, Junior DT

99 Olshansky, Igor DE
96 Spears, Marcus DE
72 Bowen, Stephen DE
97 Hatcher, Jason DE

56 James, Bradie ILB
51 Brooking, Keith ILB
54 Carpenter, Bobby ILB (smh, dude is just soft. Needs to be replaced)
58 Williams, Jason ILB (on that note, I hope he continues progressing at the rate he's been. I need him to surpass Barbie. Ankle injury will slow him down.)

94 Ware, DeMarcus OLB
93 Spencer, Anthony OLB
57 Butler, Victor OLB
53 Octavien, Steve OLB (finished strong, might be something)
98 Johnson, Curtis OLB

41 Newman, Terence CB
21 Jenkins, Mike CB
32 Scandrick, Orlando CB
20 Ball, Alan CB (Mickens and Smith didn't deliver)

26 Hamlin, Ken S
43 Sensabaugh, Gerald S
25 Watkins, Pat S
36 Hamlin, Michael S

And this guy makes 53:

Tim MacMahon/Blogger

The 53rd man on the Cowboys' roster is Marvin White, a safety claimed
on waivers from the Bengals.
White (6-1, 205) was a fourth-round pick in 2007 out of TCU. He
started 10 games last season before suffering a torn ACL.
You could consider this a White-for-Roy Williams trade.
In other safety news, Cowboys fifth- rounder DeAngelo Smith was
claimed by the Browns.

Eh, did some research. This guy's a scrub. Here he is trying to tackle Felix last year.


I doubt this is the final product. I expect some turnover in the secondary and on the O-Line. We're not deep at either spot. A major injury could screw us big time.
