jimster Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Cowboys Release Thomas, Put Singleton on IR http://sports.iwon.com/news/11012005/v6775.html Nov 1, 6:43 PM (ET) Email this Story IRVING, Texas (AP) - The Dallas Cowboys released running back Anthony Thomas on Tuesday and placed linebacker Al Singleton on injured reserve, ending his season. Thomas, signed in the offseason to provide depth behind starter Julius Jones, became expendable with the emergence of rookies Marion Barber and Tyson Thompson. He had two 1,000-yard seasons in four years with Chicago before signing a one-year deal with the Cowboys. Thompson caught the attention of coach Bill Parcells with a strong training camp and preseason. Barber has 222 yards and two touchdowns in two games as a replacement for Jones, who is battling an ankle injury. Thompson, an undrafted free agent, is the first Irving native to play for the Cowboys, and Barber is a fourth-round pick out of Minnesota. Singleton broke a collarbone in Sunday's 34-13 victory against Arizona. The Cowboys also placed defensive end Jay Ratliff (ankle) on injured reserve, and they signed safeties Tony Dixon and Lynn Scott, both former Cowboys.

Gallen5862 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Thomas might be worth a look. He could help our rb depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rypien 91 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I think we should look at him after betts leaves Where is Betts going? I like Ladell, I hope we can keep him. I really don't want anymore Cowgirl rejects. We have bad luck with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeHateMe Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Trust me, you dont want him in Washington. Im not kidding when I say he was slower to the hole than Eddie George was last season and Emmitt was in his last season with Dallas. If you dont remember, thats pretty damn slow.

bofluid Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Some team will sign him the week that they play the Cowboys, take any and all information concerning the Cowboys and their tendencies to run certain plays out of certain plays etc and then dump him. The A-train is on his way out of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isnt bad. Hes just awfully slow compared to what Ive been treated to in Julius Jones, Marion Barber and Tyson Thompson. We have Polite to be the "big bruising" back for short yardage (if needed). He will latch on somewhere. But with the emergence of Barber and Thompson, there just isnt a place for him in Dallas. Slow does NOT equal not talented.

Gallen5862 Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Do you think Thomas could help us in short yardage? I think he could help the rB depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmitty199 Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 nah you guys dont want thomas he wasnt even that great in short yardage situations in dallas this season. Barber runs much more physical then thomas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHateMe Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Do you think Thomas could help us in short yardage? I think he could help the rB depth. He really needs a strong O-Line that creates holes. He surely isnt going to be making plays out of nothing. And even when there was holes, he was slow through them. Personally, I like Betts and think that Cartwright is better than Thomas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
