Young backup - under radar

That will contribute and be a starter next year.

My vote -

Burnett is if you could consider him under the radar. Otherwise could be a guy like Peterman or Colombo.

Nors

Henson? I'd say Romo - not sure he's ready to surpass Bledsoe yet.

Which begs the question - when do Romo/Henson surpass Bledsoe? From what I'm seeing maybe not anytime soon.


Burnett another possibility....

Very good pick. Who knows, he could come out of no where. Parcells seems to like the kid.

Eskimo

The issue with LA is his continued desire to play and his willingness to consider a restructuring - I think next year he has a $2M roster bonues and a $3.5M salary with a total cap cost of $7.5M (I think). That's big money for an ageing borderline Pro Bowl OG. The costs of cutting him are no longer prohibitive as they were a couple of years ago.

He's mine -- Brett Pierce. Campbell goes back to the Giants as an FA (ouch). Pierce steps in as a younger version.

It could happen, but I don't think he will get much time behind Ware.

I don't know if Crayton qualifies as a "Shanle" but I envision him starting in 2006.

Zimmy Lives

Who would he replace?

Fujita looks like a keeper and Ware isn't going anywhere.

Thornton would be a quality back at both outside LB positions.

I like Burnett's chances...THIS year...
I like his athletic ability, we just need to get him playing a spot and get him in there...

Next year?
I like what Ratliff showed early and with a full offseason weight program, he should be something to see!

WoodysGirl
11-10-2005, 10:30 AM
Jamaica Rectorat what position would be the question. They brought him in as WR, but he's been playing CB in practice...

I like Kalen Thornon and Beriault to be the sleepers. With Peterman making a serious push to get some PT behind Larry or Rivera.

JohnsKey19

This would be my pick as well. But I think it's less than 50/50 that Parcells lets Campbell go.

A longshot would be Jamaica Rector, a WR/CB currently on the practice squad. Apparently he's already got good return skills and is impressing lately in practice with his play at WR AND CB.

Problem with Kalen Thornton outside of his knee troubles is whether he has the athletic ability to drop back in coverage. Ogbogu has the same limitations and for that reason is only used as a pass rusher in the nickel on the rare occasions that he sees the field.

I think Beriault is much more athletic than Davis and if Coach Parcells gave a truly one dimensional player like Davis an opportunity there, I have no reason to believe Beriault would not be any different.

If you remember, a year ago, we heard that "he is a SS" excuse used by Coach Parcells himself as a reason why he was not playing FS and Roy Williams moved back to strong. I also believe we were leaning that way with Beriault until his knee just became more of an issue than we could deal with.

I anticipate him being given every opportunity to compete at FS next year with the loser between he and Davis going to back up Roy with Willie Pile as the second string.

Only because he is coming off injury. If that doesn't happen, Shanle doesn't sniff the field on anything besides special teams. Dat's injury caused him to contemplate retirement, he's not going to be rushed back.

I like Thornton, but I do think he lacks athleticism. I just think that in Parcells' 3-4, OLB is such an important position that he's going to go out and find someone who's, in his words, a catalytic player.

That guy might be on the roster in Fujita or Burnett. Burnett is a terrific athlete, but he might end up on the inside. Fujita... I'm not sure about. now is his chance, and if he ends up making a lot of plays, he'll probably keep the position opposite Ware.

However, if Fujita is just so-so and Burnett ends up inside... I see Parcells either getting someone in FA or going high in the draft again and getting a big, pass rushing OLB who can be a difference maker.

My point in all of that is Kalen very well might not have an opportunity to grab the other starting OLB position. I think Parcells likes him, but I don't think he sees Thornton as the solution at SOLB.

Just my $0.02.

Coach Parcells' comments are conflicting themselves then.

On one hand, he suggests there is no "holding back", yet now he is "holding back" Dat? He is completely healthy. He just is not mentally ready to play as well as Shanle is.

I don't know about you, I would really like it if unnoticed players came out of the woodwork and start and do well as Shanle has. That is how you win championshps when you have players you never expected to emerge breakout and become stars. It is happening with both Crayton and Shanle.

A lot of it is Dat is holding himself back. BP said himself that he trusts Dat enough to allow Dat to tell him when he's ready.

I think we have different perceptions on Shanle's contributions. Has he filled in adequately? Of course.

Has he "broken out"? Not in my book.

And the idea that he is "becoming a star", is laughable.

I got a little blurb on him early in the offseason. He was included in a conversation about Cowboys whom might take the next step. So far Bradie and Tucker have proven the blurb right........Curtis and Beriualt stepping up next season would make the blurb 4 for 4.

He's fastest TE on the roster and he hadn't even gone through a Parcells off-season. His injury during training camp was one of those Joe Gibbs mysterious injuries during his hay days with the Skins inorder to stash a player........a Red Shirt year.

Not saying you are wrong or lying, but please explain how a 4.98 40 at the combine is the fastest TE on the roster? With that time I'd say he struggles to beat all but Dan Campbell.

BP does like him though cuz he said "he's pretty good" about him. BP never does that.

Sorry.....I'm just a stickler for details.

10/05/2004 - PORTLAND STATE senior tight end TONY CURTIS currently weighs in at 6051, 251 lbs with 4.75 (E)...athletic young player with upside...still rounding into the position...has 3 catches on the young season for 42 yards...in 2003 he had 9 catches for 73 yards as the Vikings used an array of TE's....previously played two seasons at FRESNO COMMUNITY COLLEGE.

Are you saying this guy is up 20 lbs. in 13 months and runs faster than Witten when he couldn't do it at 251?

Now, if he's back down to 250 range and running 4.65-4.75 that's great. I'm all for another receiving threat at the TE position.

Something's not adding up though.

Well if you were a stickler for details you'd know that even if someone gained weight it doesn't necessarily mean they would slow down.

A stickler for detail would know that muscle weighs more than fat.

So infact he could have shown up at the combine weighing 250lbs, but be out of shape or not in football shape......... came to the Cowboys got into football shape and gained more muscle which weighs more than fat.

More muscle means more power, better conditioning, sometimes translates into faster times (like in Curtis case).

You don't have to believe me. Just wait until next year. We can have another "What a difference a year makes thread" :)

Ok mister detail guy. Was trying not to be a dick about it.

Please explain how putting on 20 lbs of "muscle" made Curtis over 2 tenths of a second slower over 13 months, yet he's faster than any TE on our roster in your mind?

Beriult has a good chance because of lack of depth and ST play... probably your best bet.

Unless a kid has a chance to be a top 10 pick I would advise them to stay in school. Also I agree with a comment a couple of weeks back, when it comes to QB they all should stay in school for the final year. After the comment they showed all the QB’s who came out early and bombed.

Andrew Shanle, the guy who basically just had to show a pulse to become Nebraska's FS after Josh Bullocks declared and he couldn't even do that. He was beaten out by a walk-on who had never played a significant down in his life, Blake Tiedtke.

Shanle is one heck of a ST player, but not much else.

Of course Scott Shanle was one of the worst tacklers Nebraska had ever seen but now is busting out a bit.

No thanks when it comes to signing up the entire Shanle family. :rolleyes:

I haven't given up on Willie Blade becoming a solid backup noseguard behind Fergie next year.
I always likes Willie, but I wonder if he's staying in any kind of condition at all... I'd be afraid that with an achilles tear, he'd be doing nothing but wheeling or crutching his way to the fridge all day long...

How big is Pepper Johnson nowadays? I heard he's been pretty good and that Parcells likes him. Could be the future, and he gets to learn behind two of the best vets in the league.

I'd have to go with Thomas "Pepper" Johnson. He's very quick for a guy his size and he seems to have a knack for making things happen.

If you can find a sleeper on DL that's a very good thing, because those guys aren't easy to find and the good ones usually go quickly in the draft.

Seems like a real smart guy, but probably not athletically good enough to make it in the nfl.

Wouldn't say that.

During Winter conditioning drills, Nebraska S&C coach Dave Kennedy timed him at 4.39 hand held in the 40.

You know how scouts eat junk like that up.

Oops, did I give Nors another reason to like the younger Shanle? :D

Scott Shanle was barely drafted and had to fight to make NFL teams, 3 years later he starts. Where there is a will there is a way
