The Turk Cometh - My Week 2 Cowboys 53
Ok I'll make this quick and dirty since many BTBers are getting tired of seeing 53s...barring a stunning cut of Dan Connor or cutting BOTH veteran DLs Kenyon Coleman and Marcus Spears, here's what we seem to have. Again this is based not necessarly on talent but on who can get through waivers (maybe) and who won't:
Offense 24
2 QB Romo, Orton
4 RB/FB Murray, Jones (KR), Tanner
6 WR Dez (PR), Miles, Ogletree, Harris (KR/PR), Beasley (slot), Coale (R - ST/emergency punter)
3 TE Witten, Phillips, Hanna (R)
4 OT Smith, Free, Parnell, McQuistan
5 IOL Livings, Costa, Bernadeau, Arkin, Colin Baxter (C - acquired from SD's cuts -- it seems easier to find young, cheap veteran C prospects than OG/RTs off other teams' cuts)
Defense 26
6 OLB Ware, Spencer, V. Butler, Albright, Hamilton, Wilber (R)
4 ILB Lee, Carter, Connor (keep him for ST), Lemon (ST)
6 DL Hatcher, Ratliff, Lissemore, Crawford (R), Brent, Callaway (4-3 looks DT), Spears
5 CB Carr, Claiborne, Scandrick, Jenkins, M. Butler (ST)
5 DB Church, Sensabaugh, McRay (STG), Silva (STG), Johnson (R)
Specialists 3
K Bailey, P C. Jones (or bringing back McBriar), LS LaDouceur
Practice Squad - 6 Offense
QB Carpenter, RB Dunbar, FB/RB Olawale, 2 WR Holmes, Hakim, OG Leary (R)
Practice Squad - 2 Defense
1 DL Bass (R) (I'm annoyed to find out Callaway like Geathers is NOT PS eligible, probably means he's gone unless both Spears and Coleman get cut or traded to save cap room in 13')
1 CB L. Smith (R)
PUP K. Kowalski - I'd like to see Killer K back but Baxter or another young veteran C is insurance if he's put on IR.
IR McSurdy
IR/Waived Kemp
I'd like to claim G.J. Kinne off the New York Jets cuts for Carpenter's slot on the practice squad as our season is probably shot anyway if our emergency QB is starting, but former NFL third string QB Jason Garrett may not agree.
