I read that list in the paper this morning and was surprised to see Lance as one of the four RB's with him being out of action so long. I hope he plays good in the last two preseason games. This will be great for the Mean Green if he makes the roster!

Agree 100%. Keeping all fingers and toes crossed for Lance and for Olawale...even if one or the other doesn't make the Cowboys, certainly they would be picked up by another team. Then I could have multiple favorite NFL teams, right? Olawale seems to me to have done enough to make the roster with the Cowboys...or the practice squad...but maybe too much to sneak by for the Cowboy practice squad, and will land with another team

Anyway....here's hoping the best for both Dunbar and Olawale. GO MEAN GREEN!

If Olawale doesn't make the practice squad. I see him being traded like Cobbs was because his value has gone up. No?

If he doesn't make the 53 man roster he would have to clear waivers before he can be added to the practice squad so there is no need to trade for him when they can claim him off waivers.

I'm glad that Dunbar appears to be on the 53-man roster. We know of his running and receiving ability and the RB coach was pleasantly surprised with his blocking. Giving that Felix Jones is not a good receiver I see Lance working his way up to a starter if he can stay healthy.

I believe that Olawale makes the practice squad. I doubt that he'll be claimed on waivers because he's pretty unknown. If he can be taught to run with his shoulders down he could find his way onto the active roster or maybe then be picked up by another team.

IMO Dunbar's going to have to really do well this next game to beat out Olawale, since he is a lot more like the backs already in the stable.

I don't think Lance is being compared to Olawale. I think Lance has to out-perform Tanner. That's all. If he does, he's in. If the Cowboys like Olawale, they will find a spot for him.

As I said before, I think the line forms to the left if Jamize goes on waivers, or was it, to the right.

There's a line formed somewhere for that haas.

With the TE concerns I wonder if they won't consider Jamize there.

Dunbar has more upside than Felix Jones.

Mainly because Jones has proven he can't stay healthy and can't and will never be an every down back in the NFL. Hugely overrated.

And he's cheaper and controllable.

But Felix's grandfather and Jerry were roomies at Arkansas.

      Without knowing much about boxing, I think the powers will declare Paul the winner. There's a young generation of potential longterm viewers who grew up watching him make YouTube videos and having him beat Tyson brings too many potential viewers for the future of the sport. It's like introducing fast food in public schools in the 80s and 90s. Their future money depends on it.

      To SUMG’s point, I remember the Mean Green Club and the Mean Green 100 Club starting during the Hayden era. Remember the beautiful lime green sport coats given to the Mean Green 100 members ? I still have a decal on the wing window of my ‘77 sports car that I applied sometime after I bought the car in ‘77. And, I’m convinced we might still be in Fouts Field were it not for Rick V. Thanks.

      A lot of us old timers didn't want to make a change from NT to UNT. He went through 4 or 5 presidents while he was AD, I each who had their own idea as to how to market North Texas.In addition his budget was pocket change. You can thank Rick and C.Dan Smith for your new football stadium.

      Admittedly he did look in fantastic shape. If it's not over quickly then I see age related stamina dropping fast. I'll check it out... AFTER we win

      Tyson may be 31 years older, but he is still going to beat Paul like a rented mule. After seeing him at the weigh-in, I surmised that Tyson is in shape (for the first time in 30+ years) and still has his hand speed. Even if some of Tyson's punching power has diminished, he still has enough power to knockout a Youtuber.
