The St.Louis Post-Dispatch is reporting that Bobby Carpenter has lost his starting job at weakside linebacker to 2008 49ers practice squad player Larry Grant.

The team is putting a positive spin on the change in the depth chart, noting Grant's improved play during the training camp.  They also muttered something about Carpenter's lack of physical play, but I'm sure that was a mis-statement as it would be absolutely shocking to us Dallas fans to hear that Barbie doesn't like to hit.

This seems to be a strong condemnation on Carpenter's skills  While not  particularly surprising for Cowboys fans and sobering to Rams fans, this revelation is actually great news for one group of fans.  It means that those who decried the Alex Baron trade because Bobby Carpenter was destined for a pro bowl season with the Rams will be able to get absolutely amazing odds in Las Vegas of the second team linebacker getting that trip to Hawaii.  Contact your bookie today!
