I was surprised when he got cut early in camp. And after Monstar went down with the knee injury I was hoping Boatright would get a call back. But with Cowboys second round pick DE Demarcus Lawrence going down with a foot injury a couple days prior, they beat us to it. And they signed him to a 2-year contract(!) no less. Rather unusual for a player that was previously nothing more than practice squad stuffing. I'd like to think that says as much about our program and depth as it does him. I'll be watching him close here in BigD. Wish him all the best...but not so much that he turns into a stud that we let get away.

Why would Jesse Williams injury have any impact on Ken Boatright? Boatright's a LEO/DE, Jesse Williams is a inside tackle or 5-technique. Entirely different positions, body type ect.

The point was not so much that Boatright was a direct Jesse Williams comp, but that the Williams injury was a good excuse to get Boatright - who i just have a feeling is going to be a good player - back on the roster. I was sad when they cut him, and I am sad again that the Cowgirls scooped him up. Besides, it's not like teams always replace players position-for-position when a roster spot is vacated early in training camp.
