more good news
Miles Austin, Anthony Spencer scheduled to practice this week
That’s what Wade Phillips said. Austin and Spencer, both rehabbing after getting their knees scoped during the preseason, could play against the Eagles.

I didn't think Austin had his knee scoped
I thought he was just rehabbing it after he sprained his MCL.
In Romo we Trust
+1
Why would they scope his knee for a sprained MCL. That part of the report might be a mistake.

Sweet
I don’t know if he’ll be able to go, but I’d love to see Spencer make it back for the Iggles game. I’m glad Austin is able to start practicing already, but I doubt he is active for the next game.

I liked Proctor at LG from the get-go
And I’m glad I wasn’t disappointed. But I agree — Holland will probably be better for this running scheme once he gets acclimated.
I still don't get it.
I just don’t understand the Bollinger move. I suppose their plan is to develop this guy as Romo’s career backup, since they know he’ll stay until they cut him. I guess I’ll have to wait until Mickey tells me how great he is and how stupid anyone who thinks otherwise must be.

Just in case.
Obviously, he stinks right now. Maybe they saw something in him that makes them think they can coach him up to be a decent enough #2, but in case he isn’t, just sign him to a one year deal. If he proves worthy of stepping into the long term #2 spot, sign him to a multi-year at the end of the season, and if not, cut his ass.

There must be something Garrett likes about Bollinger.
Hes similar in body type and athletic ability to Romo I guess.
Agreed, Garrett sees something
There has to be a reason, even if we can’t see it. I think Baked Potato is pretty much on-the-money about him being a long-term backup here, too (perhaps ala Garrett himself).
yeah, I have enough confidence in Garrett, that he saw something in this guy
and can make him a decent career backup if anything goes wrong…..with the weapons around he could actually do pretty good…..think about the preseason, he was playing with Minnesota’s 2nd and 3rd string on offense……..
Garrett must have never seen him play at Wisconsin.....cuz he sure sucked in college...

"If you don’t take him off the field as a coach, he will just about die out there," Jerry Jones said. "That impacted my decision. It’s a Michael Irvin-type work ethic. That’s what we are talking about with Felix Jones."

So we have an open spot on the PS
Even if Jefferson is picked back up, we still have a spot.
Lattimore, Lowber, or Darrell Robertson might be good options.

I wouldn't mind Roberston
cant see Lattimore or Lowber with coleman, Amendola and probably Jefferson going back on the PS
