Duke Johnson is the only one I can think of off the top of my head.

Bitonio and Kirksey were also Farmer. I think Meder was an UDFA.

(Britt was Sashi Brown.)

Signed, sorry I edited my original post to not include draft picks. He did draft Joel, Kirko and Duke as you mentioned. He also draft JM, Justin Gilbert and all else that's likely not even in the NFL anymore.

So Meder is the only one.

Flabbergasting...

Does anyone think Gonzalez may be cut?

Well, the other day he made all 5 of his FG tries, and the other K missed 2 of his.

We'll see. Making kicks and having good kickoffs are vital at this point. (obvious statement of the week)

I could not understand why the other licker (Martin) was still in camp. I thought perhaps the coaches were getting cold on Gonzalez.

Special teams have stunk, so having 2 K to practice returns and coverage is important.

We also still have 2 P in camp as well.

One other consideration; the backup P and K are protection against injury. With a 90 man roster up till the final cuts, it just makes sense.

Dez should sign there. I sort of wanted him, probably 51% TO 49%, but he would flourish in New England.

I wanted him to be cut last year when he was shanking it horrifically. But, he pulled himself out of it and should've ended the season with a pretty high level of confidence. Like YTown said, he was money in the drill while the other missed two. We haven't been able to get much judgment in preseason.

I would say no though to getting cut.

The other kicker, right?

Gonzalez.

I think they are just pushing Gonzalez to get better; an iron sharpens iron situation. I doubt he gets cut.

Competition for roster spots is a very good thing and something we've lacked all-too-often since the return. Too many guys were simply handed the spot or anointed the guy.

I think an overlooked issue with the state we've been in is that we get a weird take on our own players and their real value. Thinking about watching C Coleman against J Taylor last year versus Landry against T Mitchell this year. Night and day in many ways.

good point Willie. We see our players so much and they are reported on so much ... maybe we lose sight of how good (or bad) they are

if Sissy Brown or Farmer was still GM
they would have over paid for Dez Bryant
and they would be lauded as great GMs.
Britt has been a lockeroom cancer and a half effort player no matter wheres hes played.
he had a 1000 yds as a Ram and the majority thought he was some elite talent.he was seen through brown colorred glasses.
I applaud Dorsey for changing a culture that got worse with each passing GM.
no more entitlement.no more jobs being handed out cause of what you did 2 yrs ago.
no more country club atmosphere.
now players are being held accountable.
hes bringing in players that are more intrested in winning than collecting a check.

I was also happy we signed Britt.

We cut Britt, on Dorsey's 1st day on the job ...... we didn't trade him.

why are you thanking Dorsey when you were praising the WRs last year?
most everyone said the WRs sucked and you replied back " no our WRs dont suck"

I think regime changes can do that.

Crowell, Gabriel, and K'waun Williams were all undrafted FA that Farmer signed. And all 3 are still pretty much starters in this league. I think Farmer gets a bad rap because of the Gilbert and Manziel picks... one of those picks rumored to be Pettine's, the other a homeless guy Jimmy talked to the morning of the draft...

It's not important. But I do think Farmer was better than Heckert.

I'm not sure many are worse than Farmer

While not a GM, Holmgren did more to wreck this franchise than anyone. Everything he touched was ruined and he was here for an easy payday. I will cut guys a break that try to do a good job but fail because there just not good at the job they have been hired for but when you are just collecting a check, that to me is worse.

Yep. Holmgren did more to set this team back than anyone since 1999.

Man, he just stole a paycheck.

I agree with ya wholeheartedly.

That Brandon Weeden pick .. smh..

the Holmgren years were literally like throwing gas onto a fire ... just awful

Here's my lasting impression of MH on the job.

I think I would be kicking back too if someone had just chopped off my toes

You forgot Charley Hughlett

I know it was Pettine's thing, but every time someone says "Play like a Brown", that very exact image right there comes to my mind. It's haunting...

Landry, Gordon, Higgins, Callaway, Ratley. That leaves one spot.

Why keep Ratley? He's Practice squad eligible.

Josh Gordon
Jarvis Landry
Antonio Callaway
Rashard Higgins
Damion Ratley


And then??

Dez Bryant
CJ Board
D'Mari Scott
Jeff Janis
Another?

Willies?

It's not worth trying to sneak him through waivers. He seems to have a good amount of potential.

could be

That'd be my guess for the 6th spot, as Janis hasn't shown squat.

No, I'm fine.

So, if I can interject, here's my 53:

Offense - 25

QB - TT, Baker, Drew
RB - Hyde, Duke, Chubb
FB - Vitale
WR - JG, Landry, Higgins, Calloway, Ratley, Willies
TE - Njoku, Fells, Devalve
OT- Bitonio, Hubbard, Harrison, Robinson
OG - Corbett, Zeitler, Drango
C - Tretter, Reiter

Defense - 25

DE - Garrett, Ogbah, Smith, Nassib
DT - Ogunjobi, Meder, Coley, Brantley, ZayHen
LB - Collins, Schobert, Kirksey, Kendricks, Avery, Burgess
CB - Ward, Mitchell, TJ, EJ, McKinnon, Jordan
SS - Kindred, Peppers
FS - Randall, BCC

Specialists - 3

P - Colquitt
K - Gonzalez
LS - Hughlett

Practice Squad - Denzel Rice, Simeon Thomas, Brogan Roback, Jermaine Grace, Caleb Brantley, Daron Smith, Chad Thomas, Devon Cajuste, Anthony Fabiano, CJ Board

I think CJ Board will stick.

OT- Bitonio, Hubbard, Harrison, Robinson .. Now that makes me nervous ..
