5 Gamers Who Made The Workforce On Friday

ARLINGTON, Texas – And identical to that, the preseason is over. Test that, it was the shortest preseason in group historical past – simply three video games – however why did it really feel so lengthy?

That is how these preseason video games go, particularly when the starters do not even take a snap.

Often, this final preseason recreation is not too memorable, and I am not saying tonight’s recreation was an exception to the rule.

However you will by no means hear me say these video games do not matter in any respect. They matter to somebody – each good and dangerous.

And sure, this one mattered to a handful of gamers. So this is my 5 guys that made the group after this recreation – in my eyes, in fact.

Markquese Bell – A few of these on the record have been in all probability already on the nice aspect of the fence. Bell is in that class and it in all probability would’ve taken a foul night time for him to not make the group. However he was across the ball all night time and he landed an interception off a tipped cross. That was in all probability the nail within the coffin for him sticking round on the 53-man roster.

Israel Mukuamu – One other security, one other man with an interception. And this makes two picks for the preseason for Mukuamu, who confirmed off his vary final week with the INT, and now he confirmed off his protection expertise. This man was making the group already. However now, he is in all probability serving to his explanation for being energetic on the roster.

Brett Maher – Clearly, the kicker scenario could be very fluid. However there will not be any extra video games between now and Sept. 11, so I actually cannot think about somebody being accessible that may take Maher’s spot. He made all of the kicks he was presupposed to make. His kickoffs have been on level and the one miss, identical to final week – was a kick over 60 yards. Sorry, however within the common season, until it is halftime or the top of the sport, the Cowboys do not have to be kicking 60+ yard subject objectives – not with this protection. I feel Maher is protected for now.

Malik Davis – This one is hard, however that phrase is the explanation I feel Davis makes it – TOUGH. This man is a bruiser and he is solely going to get higher. I like the way in which he catches the ball out of the backfield and he retains the pile transferring along with his robust legs. He is additionally fairly good on particular groups. I am not saying they’ve to chop Rico Dowdle, however they want to ensure Davis is on the roster.

Peyton Hendershot – He entered the sport on the bubble however his landing catch in all probability put him excessive. One factor tight ends coach Lunda Wells likes about him is the down-field velocity he possess. He is actually distinctive to the remainder of the tight ends on the roster. That alone is value conserving him on the 53. Now, we’ll see what number of tight ends they hold as a result of Dalton Schultz and Jake Ferguson are locks, after which there’s Sean McKeon. They could hold much less receivers and 4 tight ends. However I feel Hendershot is considered one of them.

For those who’re questioning in regards to the quarterbacks – I’m as effectively. I assumed Cooper Rush was within the lead all alongside however now I feel Will Grier might need made a robust push. The Cowboys might hold three quarterbacks, nevertheless it does not make sense to me. There are too many positions which might be too deep to chop and I feel they should decide on the quarterback, chopping down to 2. If that occurs, it makes extra sense to maintain Grier, who may not make it by waivers.

And there are just a few guys who in all probability performed their manner off the roster as effectively. Perhaps off the follow squad. That is the fantastic thing about a recreation like this- there are at all times folks evaluating for one thing.

Once more, this is only one man’s opinion – and topic to vary by the top of the weekend. And the identical goes for the precise roster, which is rarely last by the way in which.

However the choices to chop right down to 53 gamers will come on Tuesday. These 5 guys will in all probability be on it – a minimum of for now.
