AOA - Officially moved to WR

Is it just me or does it seem like the logical thing is to play him at CB? Safety takes instincts and awareness that he may not possess. A CB's responsibilities are less complex than those of a safety. WR seems like a real stretch. He needs to learn route-running, reading a defense, etc. - not to mention he has to be able to catch well. Just put the guy at CB and see what he can do.

this.....just let him play his college position which was corner.
 
This is one pet cat thats not gunna make it as projected. I had high hopes for him. Guess its time to hope he can contribute somewhere. Bout time to cut the line with this guy. if he aint a receiver, I guess hes not gunna be a cowboy.

I hate saying but AOA is done. Probaly wasting a practice Team spot. Cut our loses and bring in a OT with a little potential.

You're probably right. Few transitions at the pro level ever pan out, especially at the skill positions. I'm even doubtful about Dlinemen moving to the offense. We'll see on that one.
 
How disappointing, after all the excitement here when we drafted him I was expecting at least a serviceable player. This scouting department needs some professional help.
 
He's not dead yet. He's not even officially moved to WR yet. Garrett's comment was that they are really beat up there so they are taking a look at him, that's all. What inside info do all of you have that he's completely finished? A 3-4 year project who missed most of his work his rookie year due to injury should be disappointing right now, lol.

If he gets cut he gets cut but to cry for him to be cut from the practice squad just because they are working him out at WR due to injuries and only injuries seems a little ridiculous to me.

He's not keeping anyone off the game day roster, so there is no reason not to continue taking a look, unless the coaches think there is a better option for the PS.

I think the 'scouting department' is better than you make it sound.
 
Akwasi Owusu-Ansah is a receiver now because he looked like a receiver in practice. The Cowboys were impressed when he lined up at receiver against the defense.

:laugh2: As opposed to how they felt when he lined up at DB?

Actually I've been impressed with the last two years. You can't hit on every pick and AOA looked like a pretty decent pick at the time.
 
"Buh...buh...but you should have seen the way AOA jumped a pass in that non-tackling scrimmage game against the Chargers!"


:cool:
 
I must have missed the official part. All in the quote was said "we are banged up at receiver and wanted to give him a look there" and also "we like his development as a secondary guy." It could be very well be coach speak on their true intentions but as virtue of it being coach speak its not official.

Nice to see the FWST is keeping the bar high on factual reporting.
 
It's for the scout team, if you check on the website he still listed at Safety and number 27

Oh yeah, I forgot that this team is considered to be solid in the drafting department... ;)
