Broaddus Calls Out Mo... time to worry?

[SportsGuru80]

As long as he gets on the field soon....

I posted exactly what you said when we drafted him and got blasted. He was OK last year, but nothing special.

I watched him play many games when he was at LSU and his play never matched the hype. I don't see the bargain that others saw when the trade went down. It was a draft that offered much better value at the oline positions than this last draft.

 

[CowboyStar88]

Why be worried? They have 5 preseason games and started TC a week before everyone else. Obviously he isn't 100% and that's an issue you push it and next thing you know boom ACL shot.

I sure don't see him as as being close to the talent level as Primetime, who they compared him to when they drafted him. I don't see him as being near the level of his college teammate P. Peterson. He may become a solid CB, but he is not showing the star potential that surrounded him on draft day. I expected a little more considering what the team gave up for him.

Whoever said he was the best CB they'd evaluated since Deion was smoking crack. But he's a heck of a good player and had a good rookie season for us. I'm not even slightly worried about Broaddus' evaluation here.

Wasn't that Lacewell? BTW, I agree.

This is Broaddus trying to generate something to talk about, IMO

perhaps the team is tired of Dez kicking the crap out of him (Mo) on a play-by-play basis in practice? If you go into work every day not liking what you are doing, you are not going to give it your all...this could just be a mental break for the kid

 

[Cumart21]

This is being over-analyzed worse than a pre-season sack (careful) of Tony Romo.

Didn't that actually come out the Cowboys front-office? Based on their evaluation of the guy they thought he was the best CB prospect since Deion Sanders going back to 1989.

Edit -- I found the quote here:

Jones said. "But certainly he is the best they have graded for us since Deion. That would have included Deion after he came in here. Deion had the highest touchdown-per-touch of any player in NFL history."

 

[ColeBeasley11]

Yes I recall hearing that as well.....Nobody hypes their players up better then Jerry

Broaddus is not always right. Claiborne had a great year last year for a rookie and hasn't missed a regular game yet this year. So what he got dinged up in training camp. That guy is clown.

When is he normally right?

 

[TellerMorrow34]

This is the installation period for the new defense. Concern would be normal. It's not okay to miss large portions of camp. It's always a set back. If it wasn't, there'd be no point in conducting a training camp.

This I agree with 100%.

Many of us have said this since before the draft but got shouted down by the "best CB since Deion" crowd

 

[visionary]

Mo will be ready for sept 8 though. IMO.

The problem with this is that if the defense does poorly in the first game we will be told by the usual suspects "what do you expect? Mo, Rat and spencer missed time in TC"

There is always an excuse

I agree..Broadus quotes his message when he thinks he's right. But sometimes..it's just smoke with no real fire. Let's wait and see.

I mean Claiborne missing snaps is a concern..but what about the other 15 guys not out there or whatever..?
To focus on Claiborne with these sort of comments is hindsight to me.
Nothing to see here..just move along.

Which is why I don't understand the overblown hype his comment is getting.

I'd like to know what their grading criteria is, because that is some serious high praise. I watched a lot of LSU ball as well, and though I thought Claiborne looked good in college, he didn't look that good.

 

[TwoDeep3]

I actually like Broaddus and respect his background that he brings to the table, but this kind of double talk really bothers me. By writing this, he is in fact calling out Claiborne.

Having said that, this is a big year for Mo. His average rookie year was underwhelming but I wouldn't say I'm worried. Perhaps the Rob Ryan system was too much for a rookie CB. But I expect to see him make strides this year to develop into a star. But him missing time right now while isn't ideal his hardly bothersome nor worrisome.

It's called content. He has to fill up space with words. he very well could be just pointing something out without being harsh, but it will come off that way.

frankly the fact that Spencer was a two wee issue and now has milked this to five weeks is a bigger thing for me.

who cares what the clown Broaddus says...
