Cowboys CB Kelvin Joseph is the third-highest-graded cornerback of the preseason (83.4)

[Captain-Crash]

We do.

yep, it's not complicated. sheesh

 

[Vtwin]

The three year rule is a thing. Especially applicable to knuckleheads who have talent but need to pull their heads out of their butts and get focused.

It's do or die for KJ this season.

Two things.

1) It's preseason so I dont put a ton of stock in this.

2) That being said, it's pretty clear he's played well enough to be one of thr 5-6 CBs on the 53. Gilmore, Bland, Lewis, Diggs and Joseph are locks.

I feel really good about the secondary and the overall depth there at both CB and S. I think one would be hard pressed to find a group in the NFL clearly more talented than our secondary.

I probably just jinxed us.

Yes you did.

Jerry said, when asked about Joseph, "Well he hasn't killed nobody this year"..

 

[stilltheguru]

What slot wrs did he go against? Mind you, hes a 3rd year 2nd rounder. They usually don't even play preseason

Nice thing is Lewis is on the PUP so his spot can be filled by a younger corner till he's ready to come back

 

[The Quest for Six]

wait.... I thought preseason mattered? I mean I keep reading in here how we need our starters to "Knock the rust off."

First off, knocking the rust off is different than using "stats or metrics" in preseason to show if a player is good going up against third stringers....He's an early second round selection, he should be a starter by now, but he isn't and he should be good against third and fourth stringers in preseason...but I guess you want to conflate...

 

[Typhus]

We desperately need a 2nd rounder to finally hit.
KJ is our best bet.

 

[Sydla]

It’s good news that a former 2nd round pick is playing well.

What's funny is watching all the guys screaming he sucks and needs to be cut......... we are talking about the 5th CB here (well 4th until Lewis is back). LOL. I would wager Joseph is certainly not worse than most 4th-5th CBs in the NFL. So then why would we cut him and his cheap contract?

 

[Sydla]

Could see him moving Bland off the slot

You think Joseph would start over Bland in the slot?

 

[AsthmaField]

You think Joseph would start over Bland in the slot?

I know you aren’t talking to me but… no, I do not think that. Bland is better.

Some will never forgive him for having bad friends. While others are apparently related to Nahshon Wright.

 

[CowboyStar88]

This is like the practice INT stuff. It’s meaningless.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

“…3rd highest graded defensive back amongst corners that have been present during a shooting.”

[j/k]

Don’t think so right now but I could see it in the future if Bland has a sophomore slump

“…3rd highest graded defensive back amongst corners that have been present during a shooting.”

1st

 

[TequilaCowboy]

Lets see him against WR1 and WR2 types a few games.

Yep,...big difference covering WR4 and 5....and future fork lift drivers at Lowe's . Need to see it in real games going up against WR1 and WR2.... But it is encouraging and won't rain on anyone's parade here for now. Time for the light to come on in his head finally.

Ill say this, the tail end of 2021 when he got playing time was very promising. Before his incident alot of people were excited about him. Im hoping his head just got in his way in 2022 after the shooting

 

[MyFairLady]

Bossman finna do enough to sign a foolish contract that someone will regret.

 

[Kwyn]

Fanzone in shambles
