Cowboys cut Polite, sign Ayodele's brother

by Dave Halprin on Nov 8, 2006 1:05 AM CST in Dallas Cowboys News

You might've seen some changes on the blog. We've added a banner ad at the top and some other ads on the comments screens. We are going to work them into the design of the blog, especially when we do a face-lift in the future. But for now, we've tried to make them as unobtrusive as we could. We have to make money somehow, and the way to keep these blogs up without charging anything is to sell ads. So I hope you guys don't mind the extra advertising, the more ad money the blog makes, the more time I can spend working on it.

There's a new DCFanatic Radio Show up, it's a post-game show for the Redskins. Take a listen and see how I use it for therapy.

The Tuna made some roster changes again.

The Cowboys waived fullback Lousaka Polite, who was re-signed to the team last week and played in Sunday's loss to the Redskins. They also cut defensive tackle J'Vonne Parker, who has been active two of the last three games.

The Cowboys signed rookie defensive end Stephen Bowen from the practice squad to the 53-man roster, and also signed defensive tackle Remi Ayodele, the younger brother of linebacker Akin Ayodele, to the team's practice squad.

That still leaves an open spot on the 53-man roster, which will likely be filled before Sunday's game in Arizona.

Dr. Z loves Terence Newman; he's on his list of "sleeper All-Pros".

The league's interference rules have made young shutdown corners rare, but the Cowboys' Terence Newman has been consistently good in man coverage.

Grizz...

Thanks for all your efforts as well as informational flow about the Cowboys...your site is a continual wealth of names, descriptions, and analysis...as the most recent articles point towards.

The bottom of the roster continues to turn over, and players are brought into the game, where they either make a quick mark, or on their journey back to other venues and reduced levels of opportunity...

I just wonder if Bill Parcells is continuing his preaching to the congregation...even better yet, the pews better be full of listeners...

There is no right way to do the wrong thing. GO COWBOYS!!

Question Grizz

Do you get paid by click thrus or a percentage of purchases? If it's simply a click thru I'll be happy to click on them for you.

It's not by click-thru

But if advertisers aren't getting any clicks on the ads, they won't come back. So a click on one every once in a while helps.

Newman

T New is really a great CB and I hope when people are voting for the pro bowl and all-pro players, they don't include him with our other bunch who have been responsible with so many of our pass coverage breakdowns. I just wish the coaching staff would just scrap the cover 2 and allow Newman, Henry and Glenn to take opposing receivers one on one so we attack the pocket.

Our safeties have no ball skills so that makes playing the cover 2 useless to protect against the deep pass anyway.

Newman

is a complete stud. One of the most under rated defensive players in the game, even among Cowboys fans. This guy is Deion without the media attraction. For the most part he takes away half the field every game. When you think that last year, in 16 games, he didn't allow ONE TD pass against him and still he didn't make the pro bowl you have to wonder who the hell votes for those things. Has ANY CB EVER accomplished such a thing?

As an aside, is anyone in Cowboy Nation still complaining about taking Ellis instead of Moss? Ware instead of Merriman? Anyone instead of Leftwich? Sorry, it's just that the Newman pick reminded me of all the calls to take Jammer who went a pick before Roy, I believe.
