John was wearing #95 and playing Left DE for about the lst quarter of the game against Tennessee. Although it was a "mop up" appearance he didn't look bad. He was double teamed most of the time on pass plays. I think they have about 4 or 5 defensive ends. I can't see how he's gonna make the final cut because he's playing behind so many others.

He looked pretty good, but I agree that I highly doubt he makes that team with all the players ahead of him. Also, was nice to see that Ken Amato is still with the Titans as their long snapper.

Yeah, it was making me mad! He was getting double teamed every fricking play! Come on, double team the DT's and not the DE :) He was pushing that right tackle back quite a bit though and they were either passing or runnin up middle or to the left away from his side. He didn't really get much of a chance to make a play. I doubt he will make the final roster for Dallas, but may be put on practice squad. To me he looks like he has the speed to be a strong side LB in the NFL. Think they would give him a try there as he can definately run for his size.

Those bastards!



***edit: Sorry, I just had a South Park moment, mixed with my natural dislike of the Cowboys along with disappointment in their decision.
