What is the word with Matt Waletzko?

[Coogiguy03]

If anything, he was a RT anyway.

would he be the first option if gosh forbid Steele got hurt

 

[Runwildboys]

He was a 5th rounder who is still in the roster heading into year 4. Thats not bad value for the pick

It is, if it's keeping us from improving the position.

Richards is a better player so he’s kinda buried on depth chart. I don’t see any future for him but he may stick as depth another year

Someone is going to grab Richards as a cheap FA and have a steal of a decent starting tackle.

Played well from what I can tell. As of right now, not only is he better than Waletzko, but he is better than Guyton also.

Watch and see if this team doesn’t start its third best LT this year just because.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

How many successful 6'8 tackles are in the league? Just curious.

Not sure.

Technically, Waletzko was officially 6’-7.5”

36 1/8” arms
85 5/8” wingspan

That’s wild.

Yes it is. Dude was supposed to get stronger then be a starting potential RT...He never got strong enough. Contract year tho maybe he turns into Columbo.

Over-Hyped garbage. Nothing new around here

who the hell hyped a 5th rounder?

 

[Gambit]

Who was hyping him? I dont recall anyone ever declaring him a potential starter or anything like that

Don't recall anyone in here hyping him, but it's clear he had sponsors among coaches. He doesn't have that anymore, I don't see him making roster.

 

[dogberry]

Seven guys fighting for four spots.

Not a clean choice in the lot.

 

[AbeBeta]

Over-Hyped garbage. Nothing new around here

Who was hyping a 5th round pick? 5-7th round picks get their names called but generally have outcomes similar to UDFAs.

Are you making up stuff to be upset about?

What did he contribute for the “ value “ . Josh Ball another bust

Will be watching for that about training camp and preseason also.

I definitely want to see the RG, LT and DT1 positions earned and not given to an undeserving player because of being a higher draft pick.

Will be a good indicator if Head Coach Jerry is still in charge of who plays and how much and also let us know if the culture really has changed.

I'll be paying attention to those 3 spots for sure.

 

[gimmesix]

He is strong. 28 bench presses

But how strong is he now after his shoulder injuries?

 

[Chasing6]

who the hell hyped a 5th rounder?

There are lots of talented 5th rounders.

 

[Angus12]

My point is throughout the years, how many players have you seen that get over-hyped by the Joneses turn out to just fade out. That's not hard to understand being a fan of this team, even if you are thin on common sense.

Thinly veiled juvenile insults after a simple question. I'd expect nothing more from this place. Just like you said earlier... nothing new around here.

Other Cowboys players given the designation "garbage" by some posters in past seasons:

Dorrance Armstrong

Dalton Schultz

Cooper Rush

Tyler Biadasz

Jordan Lewis

When they tend to stick around despite a lot of fan criticism, some players continue to work hard while eventually finding a way to develop into good contributors.

One thing cannot be denied. Waletzko is still here.

 

[quickccc]

Matt who ...?

We need to invest and develop upcoming guys like Asim Richards, etc.

Cut Matt loose this summer and move on ...

 

[BHendri5]

What is the word with guy?

There’s times I actually forget he’s on the roster. Yet, here we are, he’s entering into his fourth season.

You never read/hear any rumblings about him like “coaching staff really feels Waletzko has turned the corner…Waletzko pushing for playing time…” If this guy could develop into our primary swing tackle I’d count it as a win.

Cut

 

[RonWashington]

He's on borrowed time. He won't make the roster.

Your really going out on a limb .

 

[Plankton]

Sadly, the shoulder injuries made him Jacob Rogers 2.0.

Asim Richards Ethan Thomas Rob Jones all moved ahead of Waletzco .
