Cowboys coaches picked for Senior Bowl

[bayeslife]

I'm always excited to watch the Senior Bowl, and even more importantly, the practices. This is a nice advantage to have this year. Both for the Cowboys and the players that get to work with this amazing staff for a week.

Its hard for me to get too excited because we're always picking in the teens.

Hopefully Dallas gets Wentz on their squad and gets a real up close and personal look.

That's what I'm hoping, too. Imo, he's the perfect candidate to sit behind Romo for two years, besides Goff who will be gone by pick #4.

Not certain Goff will be gone at #4, but getting a chance to coach the player is invaluable.

Wentz could possibly rise with a huge Phillip Rivers type week. Even players like Christian Ponder and E.J. Manuel popped up in the late first after good, but not great weeks.

There are already mocks that have Wentz at #15.

 

[Alexander]

If Red has Treadwell on his team and doesn't score a touchdown.

Treadwell probably won't be in the game since he is an underclassman.

Thing that concerns me with Wentz is he is coming off a broken wrist. It will be interesting to see how he performs at the Senior Bowl as well as combines and individual workouts. Can't help but envision Danny White situation as well as Ryan Leaf coming off a broken wrist.

Rarely do top shelf first round choices even play. A lot back out, especially at the skill positions.

The game is more valuable for evaluating the mid round type players since most of the participants will not be the top layer of the class, which invariably are underclassmen.

This is a good place to find your fourth or fifth round type steal. That good player who gets downgraded for measureables and drill performances at the Combine.

The Jaguars for example stole Telvin Smith a couple of drafts ago and they cited their ability to see how he would work within their defensive scheme was key to the evaluation.

On the opposite side, it can allow you to see what players are coachable and react accordingly.

When's the last time this happened?

50 years ago

It will be evident very quick how the wrist has healed. I do not think it was that severe, they have been floating out some indications that Wentz could actually be considered to play in the FCS Championship on Saturday. In fact, Jacksonville State has said they are preparing for him to do so.

This isn't the NBA draft. There are players in every round for the most part.

Certainly worth keeping an eye on. Healing is one thing but healing and still being able to produce is the key. I really do hope the best for him because it would give Dallas yet another option.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Hopefully Dallas gets Wentz on their squad and gets a real up close and personal look.

Agreed. If they don't pull the trigger on QB at #4, he could be a potential pickup a little later.

 

[CATCH17]

I say bring him back if the price is right.


We've already gone through all of the media drama and there will be 1 more bit of it after we sign him to a deal.

 

[visionary]

I'm actually excited to watch the Senior Bowl game I can't wait to see college players ending every possesion with a punt or field goal.

It is the process of achieving these goals that is more important than the goals themselves

 

[MRV52]

Treadwell probably won't be in the game since he is an underclassman.

Okay, not up on how seniot bowl works in these situations.

 

[bayeslife]

This isn't the NBA draft. There are players in every round for the most part.

I understand but the allure of a top 5 prospect is very sexy to me and it grabs my interest more than anything else. I'm very fairweather when it comes to college.

 

[LandryFan]

If you are wanting to bash the coaches or the front office, take it to the Coaches/Front Office Zone!

Thank You! I am sick and damned tired of the same people making the same remarks on every thread that surfaces.

 

[Manwiththeplan]

Hopefully Dallas gets Wentz on their squad and gets a real up close and personal look.

Yea, as much as I want Goff or Lynch at #4, I can see the potential for ginger love there

 

[Stash]

Agreed.

Certainly gets old seeing it.

Yeah, but what can you expect from the 4th worst performance in the team's 50-plus year history?

This season is arguably the biggest disappointment in the history of the franchise and I can see why people would be upset seeing little to no change from the folks that gave it to us.

I don't envy anyone that has to try to get a handle on this level of disappointment.

Exactly right.

That's why the "Rant Zone" and the "Coaches Zone" exist... to give folks a place to vent. We just do not need them venting the same thing in thread after thread on the Fan Zone.
