Lets Talk Tyler Goodsen

It wouldn't surprise me with this front office.

So, I wanted to to know a little about the new running back, Tyler Goodsen, and I did what we all do and went and found the most reliable research tool know to man, Youtube and watched some highlights. My thoughts are that he is a Malik Davis clone. He has good speed, not great and can take it to the endzone if there is a big enough gap in the secondary. He was time at 4.47 at the combine, so not the fastest, but still good speed. He runs behind his pads, so he can thump a head on tackler, but is also brought down by arm tackles . My feel is he's another Demercado. Both have shifty feet and are able to make tacklers miss in the backfield and find running lanes. I'm not sure how the Cowboys plan to use them, but they seem like the same guy to me. Anyways... thoughts?

I don't think he's great or anything, but he does have pretty good speed. Where did you see 4.47? Here are his combine numbers:

• • 40-yard dash: 4.42 seconds
  • Vertical jump: 36.5 inches
  • Broad jump: 123 inches
  • Height/Weight: 5 feet 9 inches, 197 pounds [1, 2]

More elite talent? We might be approaching our elite limit

Demercado is more like Williams. Demercado was 213 pounds at his pro day which is 16 more than Goodson.

Teams often stash "elite talent" on the practice squad. I remember when the Cowboys kept Emmitt on the practice squad for a couple of years.

Did rambo2 make this video?

You are correct he looks a lot like Emari but I think the difference is he's had more experience carrying the ball a lot more there's more tape on him he is more experienced and more established and I think that's why they're bringing him in 'cause they think that he actually could be the full time RB2 I mean I'm sure there'll be a competition but I think they want a little bit more because they can use Hunter and Williams in the power game all day but I think they wanna add some juice but with experience and I think this kid has more experience..

Think it's gonna feel a lot more like the Williams reclamation project this kids gonna get a chance now to get back to where he was once and I think that's why they brought him in they noticed that he was left exposed and that fan base is pretty upset that they got that guy got taken it happened to us a few times with the practice squad I think the Falcons made a mistake because they're deep at running back and we just found a gem But time will tell. but time will tell.

It would be interesting to see who they dress for Sundays game Demercado or Goodson .

Get Goodsen in there. One of the things I loved about Pete Carroll in his time with the Seahawks is he'd claim a guy off waivers on Tuesday and then get him some reps in a game on Sunday. Let's see what we got in this guy.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Didn't Micah Parsons say the same thing about Quinton Bohanna once

 

[irishline]

Yep. I expected Mafah to get called to the practice squad but they appear to be done with him. Maybe that would change if, God forbid, Javonte were to go down.

He is on the Giants practice squad now, I believe.

Since this thread was merged and context was lost, this post of mine is responding to the Bijan video that was the op of a previous thread that got merged with this one.

Well now that comment makes no sense now that the thread editing fairy has arrived.

Just what they need another battering Ram for Cowboys Giants rematch

 

[RonWashington]

He's a 5'9 197lb fringe change of pace back with 264 rushing yards over 3 seasons!

Demercado Sunday night got smothered .

Demercado Sunday night got smothered .

Hmmm... Demercado had a whopping 2 carries averaging 3.5 ypc. Williams averaged 3.4.
But hey, the guy off the falcons practice squad who averaged 2.7 ypc last season is here to save the day like Mighty Mouse in a helmet!

Elite is a huge stretch. Definitely a solid long term back

For a short time, he was elite. The best back in the league. Of course, for 2 years we had the great wall he was running behind which helps. Then we let him go to Philly and he was pretty good but fell off fast. We need a Bell cow back to pair with Williams. A 3 headed monster with that 3rd rb like Davis or De Mercado. Maybe Goodson can also be a good 3rd rb. I feel the best way to go forward this year on offense is using the spread offense while also using 3 runners at tailback. We have yet to see Hunter Luepke run much. Maybe he can get more touches. Our approach to the Giants game was all wrong.

 

[Rayman70]

This just tells me exactly how much the cowboys hate Phil Mafah and Jaydon blue.

I was so wrong on Blue and Mafah. Especially Mafah.

You think he saves the day . That’s an overstatement . As usual .

Elite to me is more than a season or two.
We definitely could use a strong supporting runner to fill in but a lot of that will come with line play.

I been reading that a lot of Falcons fans are very disappointed they lost him to us.
