Broaddus: Assessing The Cowboys' Saturday Goal Line Period

[RS12]

4) The bright spot along the defensive line was the play of Davon Coleman. In a defensive line that is thought to play up the field and attack, Coleman was able to do just that. He was able to beat Mackenzy Bernadeau off the snap and grab Seastruck for a tackle for loss, then later come back and stack the point, forcing Seastrunk to bounce the ball to the complete opposite side. Coleman continues to stack good practices together.

5) When the offense went with three tight ends in their heavy package, it was guard/tackle John Wetzel that was the extra blocker and not Gavin Escobar orLa'el Collins.

6) Byron Jones is being asked to play more and more down inside in coverage, which means he is having to deal with Jason Witten in space. It has been an education for the rookie in not only dealing with Witten's size but also the crafty route moves he has. Witten took Jones on a journey in 7-on-7 drills, when Witten crossed out of the slot behind Terrance Williams on the snap, leaving Jones spinning in his tracks to having to adjust. It's been a good education for the kid.

9) La'el Collins got his first extensive action with the first offense on Saturday and it was a bit of a mixed bag for him. It was good that he had the opportunity to work with Tyron Smith in the one-on-one pass rush drills in passing stunts. The bad came in a couple of snaps during the two-minute drills where he gave up pressures to Tyrone Crawford and Jeremy Mincey during the period.

Camp is the time to experience growing pains. Just goes to show the caliber of Zack Martin to come in as plug and play pro bowler.

Keep in mind that Broaddus predicted that Coleman could be a breakout player.

Now Broaddus is reporting that Coleman was the lone bright spot on the DL.

Its going to be interesting to see if Gus makes a case for himself on the active roster

 

[darthseinfeld]

Im starting to believe Jones will be a Joe Haden class CB in the very near future

I would rather he become a top 3 FS

I would rather he become a top 3 FS

In our scheme i'd prefer the pro bowl corner.

I think Hardy scared Davon Coleman straight.

I dont think he is as good a safety as he is a CB. He was a decent safety. He got ontl the first round radar playing CB

 

[Luther]

Coleman looked good. Has for a few practices.

 

[darthseinfeld]

I think if Coleman gets it together, he is the starter at 1 Tech

HUGE if though

He got on the first round radar as a versatile CB/S
