He got lots of playing time last night.   Too bad he had that holding penalty called against him.  Hopefully someone else picks him up.  

[MeanGreen13]

Bummer. Im guessing they kept nzeocha instead.

[MCMLXXX]

Practice squad?

[Christopher Walker]

Damn.

[TheWestie]

Once again...

My thought

Just more evidence that the Cowboys are going into the tank this year.

[GMG_Dallas]

And released a 2015 5th round pick from Carrollton: Ryan Russell.

Back to Akunne, with his hit on Goff I think he'll garner some interest from other teams. Other than that game he still had a strong preseason.

another reason i dislike the cowboys

[Harry]

Disappointing.

[SHOSS]

He will bounce back.  I watched for him in these scrimmages, and honestly, i didn't think he stood out all that much.  

Akunne was an anchor of the best d i have seen at unt...   especially in the 2nd half of games...   if memory serves, lance got sent to the practice squad before he got his chance, but i think he just had too many hamstring issues before shining in his last preseason opportunity.  Akunne's dream is not dead.  I am sure he will keep working to pursue his dream of being an nfl LB.

I don't understand all the hatred for the cowboys.  Sometimes it really really bothers me that we have so many transplants that don't embrace all things of this area.  

Oh well.  Can't wait to watch both the mean green and the cowboys this season.  Football is back baby!

So by your logic and UNT fans that move to, say, Austin have to begin cheering for those burnt orange bums?

[Graddean]

When the Cowboys and the old Dallas Texans started up, I chose to follow the Texans and Abner.  When they moved to KC, my loyalty went with them.  Aside from rooting for some individual players, I have never been a Cowboy fan since.

Is Lance Dunbar still playing? I have not heard anything about him.

Grew up in DFW- hated the Cowboys. I was always taught Dallas may be America's team but the Oilers were texas's team. Now that I was in San Diego for 10 years and moving back/retiring there, Bolts all day.

Prosports loyalty, geography...  your alma mater is your alma mater.  

I know many disagree with me on prosports rooting rules..  that is how we have so many douchbag bankee fans that show up in Arlington when they are buying championships...  

And btw, houston is just gross as a city.  Why anybody would choose to root for a team from that place...  unless you live there, is beyond me...  but, i guess i would never choose to live there.

 

San diego however, that place is awesome...  just too pricey for me.

Go mean green

[Mean Green Eagle]

Well damn, I was really hoping he'd stick around. He's got the skill, he just needs a chance.

He was suited up on the sidelines at the Texans game. 

[TheWestie]

Akunne was on the sideline last night.

So was Marcus Trice.

And McNulty, Derek Thompson and Nathan Tune. 

 

 

 

And so was this bad MoFo right here:
