Kind of like Brandon Noble but on offense and much smaller

Exactly.

Good points

But they really didn't have to wait long
He had over 1200 yard receiving his second year and basically strung together 9-10 more years like that before he was done.

And we did have enough of a need at WR that we spent a 3rd rounder pick on Stephret Williiams 2 years after we let go of Smith--who then went on to about 5 Pro Bowls.

Classic rueage material....but as I said, old news.

The point of this thread was to give the Beasley Groupies something to get excited about.

We'll have to agree to disagree on the rueage

There were some who really liked Amendola (and many who didn't who now say they did ) he had his little group of groupies. But go back and look. I bet I way underestimated the number of threads that have been started on lil Beastly's behalf.

The WR that I rued letting go the most was Jimmy Smith. I think the crowd that liked him trumped the Amedola crowd. None trump what I've seen surround Beasley. It's been entertaining for sure.

Let's hope it works out.

BTW, there a lot of similarities between Welker, Amendola, and Beasley....like small size, good hands etc.

Of yeah, and Danny Amendola is a fraking giant compared to Cole. He's 4 inches taller! Nothing a like size wise.
[View Full Quote]The other stuff...yes.

really?

I know. Brilliant deduction on my part....stating the obvious, I mean.

I hadn't really thought about it until you mentioned it. Don't really care really. I disagree, I don't think it is a factor. I like Beasley, but if Harris is better than Beasley, go for it. I just want the best guys to play. And Ogletree isn't it.

That's cool. And I buy it.

The other stuff is just a statistical observation, and not one that would apply at all everyone. I certainly wouldn't say it applies to you in particular.
But I'd say the odds are about 1000-1 (or much longer) that somehow, someway, three players are all singled out at a position that their racial makeup is fairly rare. One player..slighlty rare. Two player, very rare. Three player all together..nearly impossible.
It really is no big deal though. Just an elephant in the room kind of thing.

I think the Cowboys are sick of seeing Ogletree on the field too... And that's what's partially driving this.

Fair enough

He can be a good WR when we go 4 WR. They'll use him on those short crossing type patterns where his quickness makes it very difficult for one defender to cover.

Beasley!! Beasley!! Beasley!!

I think you're going to see him more as the #3.

[ninja]

The times I saw Beasley out there last week, he was open. It is tough to cover him on those short routes. Beasley is dangerous for those in-and-out routes and shallow crossing patterns. Keep him away from high traffic areas because he will get decapitated. He plays smart though. Knows when to get down and avoid hits.

Need to see more of Beasley and Harris.

I can't recall a player that has done so little that has a larger group of followers....even after quiting the team. I bet there have been more than a dozen threads on his behalf already. Oops, make that one more.

But I will say, he's fun to watch and I do think the kid can get open in this league.

Maybe his reps are going up. I sure the flow of the game will dictate part of it.

[View Full Quote]I still think Harris is better, so maybe they can both get some reps.

Harris is another route runner in a scheme with a less than perfect OL, that sucks for route running.

Dallas needs beasley.


FTR - Amendola had a rather large following. Same kind of receiver.
