I think I like Rudy Carpenter better than the Aggie QB. Anyone else?

He's looked better this offseason. One has to assume that McGee has more than he's shown so far.

I think he may have gained himself some consideration for the practice squad, but that's all.Too much invested in McGee to make a move here just yet.

The entire game could be sumed with a "meh". I can't wait to go and watch the real boys in Tampa.

Goodness. Like the guys on TV just said, that had to be the most boring 35-31 game ever played.

I know McGee was a higher draft pick but he really is not that good. I watched him play at A&M and was never impressed with his passing skills. He is tough and a competitor but not an NFL QB. He is not a threat to go down field. He checks down a large % of the time for little or no yardage. I hope I'm wrong but I think he was a wasted pick.

It was better than the South Carolina/NC State game last night. Those teams should be banned from TV this year.

First of all, Ogletree is o.k. if anybody is wondering. Essentially just an abrasion over his left eye from his helmet.LB Steve Octavien has really made a case for himself in making this team. I think he's in.Patrick Watkins no doubt has the team pondering whether they keep him or not as well. On the positive side.

Good to hear about Ogletree.2 weeks ago I mentioned the great job that Ocatvien was doing. Glad to see I'm not the only one seeing it.And Watkins had a HUGE game tonight. Blocked FG, pick six and great defense.And awesome punt return tonight too.Mickens also looked great tonight too. Really a solid game all around, save for all the fumbles by the RB's tonight. And Carpenter looked GREAT on his last drive, too!

Cowboys waste a pick? Never.McGee had nothing to offer that 20 or 30 other spare QBs out of college had. 6th round talent at best.

Stanback Among Saturday's Cuts

Posted by nickeatman at 9/5/2009 4:41 PM CDT on truebluefanclub.com

The Cowboys have turned in their roster cuts to the NFL, and among the big names include wide receivers Isaiah Stanback and Jesse Holley, who scored the winning touchdown Friday night in Minnesota, and late-round draft picks DeAngelo Smith and Mike Mickens, a pair of defensive backs from the University of Cincinnati.

In all, the Cowboys released 22 players and put another on injured reserve. That actually puts the roster at 52 players. It’s likely the Cowboys will claim another player on Sunday.

Stanback, a fourth-round pick in 2007, has struggled to stay healthy and transition himself as a receiver from a quarterback in college. He has just two reception in two injury-plagued seasons.

Not on this list is rookie wide receiver Kevin Ogletree, the only undrafted player to make the team. Ogletree scored two touchdowns in the preseason, including the first of five scores by the Cowboys in Friday’s 35-31 preseason win over the Vikings.

Other so-called “bubble” guys that have made it for now include guards Cory Procter and Montrae Holland and nose tackle Junior Siavii, who hasn’t played an NFL game since 2006.

The Cowboys decided to move rookie linebacker Stephen Hodge to injured reserve. The sixth-round pick from TCU never fully recovered from a knee injury that required surgery in July. Hodge joins Robert Brewster and Brandon Williams among draft picks that will be lost for the 2009 season.

Here’s a list of the cuts and roster moves made on Saturday:
