Junior Siavii has the greatest chance seeing some action this season more than ever as he backs up Jay Ratliff. I agree with Junior that you don't want to see anyone get hurt and sometimes it's becomes a detriment when you want to get some playing time in the NFL.

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports :

Siavii’s big chance

The Cowboys boast some depth at defensive end, but nose tackle is different. There is no proven commodity behind Jay Ratliff, so Junior Siavii will receive a chance.

He’s the team’s best shot at backing up Ratliff. At 6-foot-5, 320 pounds, Siavii has the ideal frame for a 3-4 nose tackle, the question is whether he can be effective with that frame.

A second-round draft pick by the Chiefs in 2004, he spent a pair of seasons in Kansas City but was out of football in 2006 and ’07. Last season, he spent some time with the Cowboys, was injured, and then spent more time looking for work.

"I got nine tryouts, but at my position nobody went down. It’s hard to get a job if nobody gets hurt," he said. "I wish nobody gets hurt in this league, but sometimes that’s how it works to get a job."

He had some different options during the off-season, but he chose the Cowboys because he has a decent shot at playing time.

"The 3-4 defense is a better fit for me," he said.

There's no other player that deserves to play after all he's been through then Junior!

Aloha!
