Jefferson and Gibbons added

The Cowboys made official today the signings of wide receiver Mike Jefferson and offensive lineman Ryan Gibbons to the practice squad.

Jefferson was released Monday to make room for QB Brooks Bollinger after being called up to the active roster as an emergency for Sunday's game at Cleveland. He essentially takes the spot he held a week ago on the practice squad.

The Cowboys hoped James Marten would clear waivers and sign on to the practice squad but he was claimed by Oakland (and Chicago too but awarded to the Raiders because they had the worse record of the two in 2007).

Gibbons was among the Cowboys' final cuts in training camp. He can play all three line spots, which is a plus for practice squadders

Jefferson was pretty much a no brainer that if he cleared waivers that he would be resigned to the practice squad, and with Marten being picked up by the Raiders, chances were hgh that the cowboys were going to sign another Offensive linemen to the practice squad to protect themselves in case Kosiers Foot doesn't come along and if Holland has trouble picking up the line calls. Gibbon's was one of the final cuts and his versitility to play three positions on the O-line makes him intriguing to the organization to keep around to develop, athough Marten was their first choice to keep.

we"re on now

As long as the O-line keeps its nasty attitude, it has too rub off on anybody comin in to fill in. Big E as a Line coach will help keep everybody on the same page.(SMASHMOUTH)
Jefferson is cool, he"s got the speed to be effective & showed to be a capable reciever.
Lets go!

I loved Sparano. . .

But having Hudson back and keeping Big E into the season. . .I have every confidence that our O-Line is getting GREAT coaching and if week one was any indication – it’s working!
