Cowboys' 53-man (minus one) roster

Sat, 05 Sep 2009 17:33:33 -0500

The Cowboys are likely to fill the open spot on their roster with a waiver claim over the weekend. Since they're dangerously thin in the secondary, especially at cornerback, that's a position that would make sense. Evan Oglesby, one of the Cowboys' final cuts last year, was released by the Ravens. He'd be a cost-effective fit. There could also be more churning of the bottom of the roster. But the Cowboys have their 52 for now. Follow the jump to see how their roster shapes u...

Ravens' Secondary: Who Stays, Who Goes?

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 09:54:11 -0500

The Baltimore Ravens will have to make a cut or two today to get down to the NFL maximum of 75 players. On Saturday, they will have to declare their 53 man roster by making a bunch of painful decisions. Today, we will be looking at the team's secondary, and predicting what the team will do with their cornerbacks and safeties. With the recent announcement that veteran cornerback Samari Rolle will begin the season on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) List, it makes it a bit eas...

Kickers get the non-silent treatment

Thu, 04 Jun 2009 09:30:17 -0500

One of the more unusual moments of Tuesday’s passing camp occurred when coach John Harbaugh capped a field-goal kicking drill by instructing second-year player Steven Hauschka and rookie Graham Gano to each attempt a 48-yarder. As if that wasn’t hard enough, Harbaugh allowed their teammates to do everything in their power to distract the kickers. Cornerback Evan Oglesby was especially vocal in getting in Hauschka’s ears, while offensive tackle Jared Gaither and fullback Le’Ron McClain did ...

Oglesby Released To Make Room For Davis

Tue, 02 Sep 2008 23:11:33 -0500

Although he isn't expected to officially sign with the team until tomorrow, Dallas released CB Evan Oglesby to create a spot on the 53-man roster for S Keith Davis' return.? Most believe, as I do, that this is a very fortunate turn of events for the Cowboys as Davis spearheaded the special teams for Dallas over the last three seasons prior to his leaving for Miami earlier this year. Oglesby, although a good young player, is one of eleven defensive backs that was on the roster so it was either someone from this group or the offensive line, which has eleven also.? Since there are currently no injured defensive backs but there is some concern about the O-line, Oglesby's release made sense on many levels. Davis will certainly continue his strong kick coverage and step right into the Dallas defense at safety, if needed whereas Oglesby was very new to the Cowboys' scheme.? Having just come over this year after being released by the Ravens, Oglesby hadn't had much time to learn Dave Campo's secondary.? He will most likely be picked up by another team as there are several teams in need of a CB. With only three days left to get ready for the Browns, Davis' return can only help fill an immediate need that we have all been concerned about over the preseason.? Good job, Mr. Jones!

Dallas Cowboys Release Evan Oglesby

Tue, 02 Sep 2008 22:45:42 -0500

In what is somewhat of a surprise move, the Dallas Cowboys releases cornerback Even Oglesby to make roster space for Keith Davis. Oglesby has a great camp and decent preseason, and looked to have solidified a spot on the roster. But picking up Davis changed things. The play of Orlando Scandrick certainly

Baltimore Ravens Training Camp: Day 11

Sun, 12 Aug 2007 21:55:14 -0500

Streams of cars and SUV's pour into the player's parking lot. One player delays pulling completely into his parking space, which causes a long line of traffic to form. Another player gets impatient as a horn is heard echoing the campus of McDaniel College. Meanwhile, a similar scenario plays out in the fan's parking area. The fans, like the players, are anxious to get to their destination and commence with the entertainment. While the players will be providing that form of art to the fans, it is a symbiotic relationship the two seemingly diverse groups share. The fans, in their varied attire and painted faces, with their cheers of appreciation and well wishes, also provide a service for the players. Without one, it is debatable if there could be the other. Yes, it is Sunday morning, the day of rest and worship for many, but today, there is no rest for those who flock to training camp each day. On this day, those numbers would be smaller than past days, perhaps reaching as high as 1,500, but the entertainment the faithful who showed up today would find, would be well worth giving up a day of rest. With the first preseason game on the horizon, players came out in shorts and helmets. The practice would simply be a glorified walk through with as little contact as possible when big bodies get together. Corey Ivey, going into his seventh year in the league, was the first one out of the locker room, just as he has done since the beginning of camp. He was joined by Evan Oglesby, Ronnie Prude and Jamaine Winborne as the inseparable quartet worked on technique and got a jump on stretching for the day's events. The younger players cling to Ivy, sharing personal stories and soaking in every bit of knowledge the veteran can offer. Soon thereafter, the rest of the young defensive players come roaring out of the locker room, accompanied by their coaches. The defensive linemen and linebackers joke around with line coach Clarence Brooks and linebackers coach Mike Pettine, as Brooks tosses a ball to one of the players, the player throws it back. Before you know it, a game of Hot Potato is underway and the players swarm the coach as the ball reaches his hand. While this game is going on, Ivy brain storms with his fellow defensive backs. They devise a game with a few of the receivers that have come out early, including Clarence Moore, Derrick Mason and Mark Clayton. Each player would switch positions with the receivers becoming defensive backs and visa versa. Ivy at first plays quarterback as Chris McAlister goes up against Mark Clayton. McAlister put on a perfect double move then broke deep. Ivy hit him perfectly for a make shift touchdown, leaving Clayton in the dust. Next up was Oglesby against Mason, again Ivy threw a perfect pass as Oglesby tried to run a crossing pattern. Mason would not be fooled and knocked the ball away. The players mulling around the fields caught wind of the action and cheered their teammates on while more of the receivers joined the action. After another great route by McAlister, who once again lost Clayton, this time on a crossing route, Mason and Ivy paired up. Ivy ran down the make shift field, cut inside then bounced out. Mason was right on his heels and just as Ivy caught the ball, Derrick picked his pocket and ran down the sidelines for a would-be touchdown. The players and fans erupted in cheers, and then the players resumed their real positions and drills. It was clear that the defensive backs won this mock game. If the team ever gets in a pinch for secondary help, Derrick Mason would make a great stand in. Likewise, McAlister would make a formidable receiver if the need should ever arise.
