Cowboys safety Barry Church said the release of veteran Brodney Pool, his primary competition to land a starting job opposite Gerald Sensabaugh, sends a message to all players about the possibility of being released at any time. It also sent a message to him about the Cowboys’ thoughts of his efforts in training camp.
“It feels like they have my back. They feel like I’m a great player. I can be out there and do a lot of things for this defense,” Church said. “I’m just going to keep piling good practices on top of good practices.”
Both coach Jason Garrett and defensive coordinator Rob Ryan expressed disappointment in what they say from Pool, an eight-year veteran who played under Ryan at Cleveland.
“He just wasn’t the same guy, in my opinion, that I’m used to,” Ryan said of Pool, who was one of three Cowboys who failed a pre-camp conditioning test. “So we're a little disappointed in that … We needed to move on for the best interest of us. We’re going to keep the best players and that’s just the way it is.”

@Glenn your negative comments are tired and weak. They expose you for the worm no nuts loser you are. I like a safety with SACK AND TENACITY. GET YOUR KNEE PADS AND SEE MR. VICK.

Great is a " loosely" used term my friend. It's like I'm sure you wife at some point during your sorry relations told you that "it was great" after you were done (after a few minutes at best) but really what she is saying to you is that you were all she could find for the moment legally , but if she could get her hands on a bigger, stronger, better stud, you will be replaced.. Sure you've been called great at some point during those 314 minutes my friend. RELAX!! Give it a break

Church..I'm hoping you can show us something and are in position to win a starting job. But come on Dude. Who in the organization told you that you were a great player. It's comments like those that keeps this team in mediocrity. Always thinking that you are better than you really are. Just play football and..shut up!!
