Broaddus: The Case For Coleman, Byron Jones' Versatility Among 12 Thoughts

[RS12]

1. I have said this before and I will say it again: Darren McFadden is the best running back on this team. If this staff is looking for that complete back like they had with DeMarco Murray, McFadden is the man that needs to start. His running style and physical skills are perfect for this scheme, and if given the opportunity, he will silence those critics that believed he could no longer play.

2. It's hard to imagine a better fit in this scheme at Will linebacker than Sean Lee. The fact that he is now free to run to the ball and he doesn't have to take on blocks at the point of attack is exactly what he needed. The amount of wear and tear it will save on him will surly help him, but they are also putting him in position where he can make a ton of plays.

3. Scott Linehan might want to find more ways to get Terrance Williams the ball on the move in this offense. There is something about his ability to separate across the field that makes him more difficult to cover than when he takes hisroutes up the field. Williams is sneaky with his speed, but I believe he also catches the ball better.

4. I counted three different defensive spots that Byron Jones played against the Vikings.

Please start Coleman. TYIA.

6. I am still not sure that the fifth wide receiver is on this squad. The staff is giving Lucky Whitehead every opportunity to win the job, and even though he had a touchdown reception, there still is a side of me that wants to believe there might be better guy out there when we get down to these final cuts.[/QUOTE]

I think 2-3 guys that make the roster are still on other teams right now

Coleman hasn't just earned a roster spot, he's earned playing time in the active gameday rotation.

I like to see what he could do as a starter.

Whatever form it takes, he definitely has earned a lot of playing time. I'd like to see him beside TCrawford some as well.

 

[conner01]

There are better players out there than lucky
But that's true with most young players in his position. He's raw but you can't teach speed and he can fly
He needs to develope but I would hate see that development somewhere else

I think Coleman might be more talented than Jack Crawford in terms of playing the 3tech position.

Broaddus claims he played the 1tech (nose) but he actually played the 3tech spot against the Vikings. He has played the 1tech in the other games, but this was a review of the Vikings game.

9. I continue to like what I have seen from Davon Coleman at that nose tackle spot, even with Terrell McClain back in the rotation this game. There is no doubt that Nick Hayden will be the starter, but what I am struggling with is how this staff might evaluate the backup for that spot? Coleman has proven to be reliable at least through this camp, while McClain has had to deal with injuries and missing time. If it comes down to one or the other, the scouting side of me wants to see Coleman get the opportunity to be a part of this rotation.

Always take Broaddus with a grain of salt.

 

[speedkilz88]

I wish he would stop trying to cut Swaim.

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

Edwards has impressed with his active pressure showing up all over the backfield on play after play.

What a Gem of a find. Can't release Lavar or Coleman without cutting Hannah. Keeping Swaim is an upgrade.

[Maxmadden]

I hope they keep the Swaim kid. He just reminds me of a young Jason Witten.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

What is the big deal against 4 TEs? I just don't see a roster without 4 TEs. No way Swaim makes it to the PS. No way! Any other guy you keep in place of Swaim would more than likely make the PS. Unless the team is thinking about trading Hanna or Swaim.

Those advocating only 3 TEs are only focusing on the immediate and not the future like next year and beyond.

Always take Broaddus with a grain of salt.

And a little pepper too

I agree - QB, return guy, safety maybe a backup tackle but everything else looks pretty solid.

These positions don't grow on trees but we're just looking for upgrades at this point.

It's not only the speed with Lucky Whitehead, it's the quickness.

#13 has a freaky supply of it.

Whitehead can turn on a dime without losing much of his momentum.

I watched him leaves our DBs in the dust on multiple occasions during training camp when making breaks during routes.

Lucky is far from where he needs to be, but just looks like a player to me.

Even if he doesn't open the season as the primary returner, Whitehead is on my 53.

 

[AmericasTeam81]

Always take Broaddus with a grain of salt.

I take Cowboyszone posters who incessantly doubt Broaddus with a grain of salt.
