Am I the only one that has been having a hell of a time keeping up with all of the players in pre season?

The rookies each have their own threads. Pretty exciting year for Cowboys making it in the pros. What could happen based on early pre-season results and comments (that no one would have predicted), would be for Hollister and Gentry to make teams and for Brian Hill to be cut and end up on a practice squad. Roullier will undoubtedly make the roster.

It's incredible seeing all the articles written about these Wyoming undrafted free agents. It seems like they are getting more press than the two who got drafted. I don't think its unrealistic to see Wacha, Hollister, and Gentry all make the opening day rosters. I can't say the same about Hill. I think Roullier will make it.

I really hoped Hill would get drafted by a team with a real running back need. Roullier and his ability to play both guard and center should damn near guarantee him a roster spot, hugely versatile skill set to have as an o-lineman in the NFL.

Right now the pokes have 12 players on NFL rosters

Mike Purcell Rams... Feel like he has a good chance of making the team had a couple tackles in the first preseason game.

Mitch Bears Is second on the depth chart and having a pretty solid career.

Chris pro Bears... Wyoming made!!

Tanner Gentry Bears ....Has been getting lots of attention so far this preseason. Tearing up camp made his first catch against the Broncos.

Tashuan Gipson Jags....who has definitely been the most dominant NFL Poke in recent years is starting for the Jags. Has 16 career Ints so far.
Marqueston Huff is in Tampa fighting for a roster spot.

Eddie Yarbrough Bills...has had a very solid preseason so far with the Bills. We all saw the sack on the first possession of their preseason opener.

Chase ....Redskins I think is a lock for a Roster spot with the Red skins

Mark nzeocha Cowboys....had 4 tackles for The cowboys against the Rams

Eric Nzeocha ....is on the practice squad for Tampa

Jacob Holister Pats....has definitely been the most impressive poke so far in preseason. So impressive that Bill Belichick himself is chanting Wyoming as a developing NFL hot bed. 7 catches 116 yards is game one. Not only the best performance out of the pokes so far. One of the better performances in the league!

Brian isn't doing so hot for the falcons but surely should have spot somewhere in the league.

Simply for accuracy purposes, there are no practice squads until the season starts. He is in camp with them though.

Hollister had a catch in today's game. Took a nasty hit that laid him out, but he held on to the ball. Wish I could find a video of it.

When they showed him on the sideline after the play he appeared to be ok and in good spirits. Cowboy tough!
