Cowboys sign veteran safety

From Mosley's blog:

This just in from Todd Archer: The Cowboys signed 31-year-old safety Tony Parrish off waivers today. Parrish started 62 games for the 49ers but lost his starting job earlier this season.

He'd played in 121 consecutive games before breaking his leg last season. The injury caused him to to miss the final seven games.

Parrish has been inactive for the past three weeks, but his teammates were still surprised when he was released Tuesday.

Parrish will provide depth at a position the Cowboys have struggled with this season.

I like this move a lot. I've been a fan of Tony Parrish's work on the field for a while now. The Cowboys made the quick strike to help shore up a struggling position in the secondary.

Hat tip to Burt D for posting the news, and hat tip to sliverblue5 who called this earlier in the week.

Parrish is a good pick-up
I remember him more as a Bear than a 49er. As long as 31 aint too old to get back on the horse, he'll be sweet in the nickel.

right now
FS is our only weakness. If we had a good ball hawk back there, our defense would be really tough.

thats true
but I was refering to positions. Every player on our defense is top notch except for Keith Davis, who is our only average player on that side of the ball.

Mosley also mentions
that Parrish takes Skyler Green's roster spot. Can't say I'm surprised.

Parrish plays strong safety
and will back up Roy Williams. We still have Davis and Watkins at free safety. (per DallasCowboys.com)

I suspect, though,
that if need be, he could do a better job at FS than Davis. Based on career picks, he has some decent coverage skills.

Parrish is a big upgrade over Davis
I hope he can get up to speed in time for the Sunday night game. The Saints lead the league in long pass plays. And Bush seems to be finding his niche as a receiver.
