Signed by Cowboys Cowboys sign CB Daryl Worley

[BigTimeBlues]

Call me an optimist but with McCarthy and Nolan seemingly wanting more press coverage and drafting two guys that are very good at it and then signing another after the draft in Worley, it leaves me wondering what does Dallas need to really complete an offseason. I believe most fans somehow believe that getting a SS would make us a very solid team defensively, better than last year. We all know the target as we inquired about him last year in Jamal Adams, Jets star safety who is in a bit of a salary dispute with the Jets.

One of the top needs for the Jets in the draft was to find a starting corner. Check out their roster of no name CBs. They draft one in Hall at 158 who is a good one although the reason he went so late was due to injury. They really do need a good starting cornerback and they drafted another possible starting safety in the top of the 3rd round. They also need help on the DL at DT.

Now we know Jerry isn't going to give up a 1st for Adams and the Jets obviously want a lot for Adams but they are the ones in the pickle so what about trading say either Awuzie or Lewis plus say Antwan Woods or Hill and say a 4th for Adams. If it was Awuzie and Hill who are both former 2nd round picks, it could be a good deal for both teams. Dallas gets there starting SS abet having to sign him to a new 5 year mega deal while the Jets get a starting CB who they will have to resign and a kid in Hill who they suggested last year they would have taken him in the 3rd round.

Now wouldn't that be a kicker of a trade. Wonder what fans would think of the offensive and defensive then. Just a thought but looking at both rosters, needs still for both, money it is going to take to resign guys for both, calm locker rooms for both , well it makes good sense for both. Sure some will disagree and some will think no way Jets take less than a 1st but did anyone think Clowney would only get Houston a 3rd or Hopkins a 3rd or a number of other examples of teams taking less due to money issues. Sure might not happen but it isn't out of realm of possibilities when you look at schemes and coaching staffs.

So, Worley "replaces" Chido. Gallimore is here for Woods/Hill replacement. Dallas gives up less draft capital, and gets a huge boost to the defense?

That sounds like a wonderful trade for Dallas, but nowhere near enough compensation for NY? You truthfully think they'd bite?

I'd be willing to bet something more along the lines of a 2nd, with a Chido+Woods/Hill package.

And, assuming Dallas got a deal hammered out with Adams beforehand, I would make that trade in a heartbeat.

How good is this guy?

Probably the top back up for the outside CB position

Outside- Chido, Diggs, Worley, Robinson
Slot- Brown, Lewis
ST guys- Goodwin, Candy

We won't keep this many, but this is probably how they view the CBs

 

[Doomsday101]

I see Daryl Worley as another CB coming here to compete. I have no doubt that McCarthy knowledge of him and same goes for Nolan and Al Harris. Cowboys needed to beef up the secondary and they have

I hate moving CB to safety. After watching us do it with Byron I just don’t think it’s a good idea...

Byron was a safety who was moved to CB and guess what, it worked? Coaches who are decent put players in roles where they might have a chance to succeed.

 

[conner01]

What do you mean doesn't bode well for chido? Beyond 2020? Sure. In 2020? No chance

I think that’s the whole point
Chido and Lewis are both FA after this season

 

[gimmesix]

I have to say whether we are planning to move Worley or some other corner to safety I like how we've attacked the corner spot in light of letting Byron Jones walk.

Re-signed Brown. Added Canady and Worley (both with starting experience) as free agents. Drafted Diggs and Robinson.

No one could have been happy with our play on defense last year and these new coaches aren't just trying to coach up what we had. It's impossible to say if the changes made will bring success, but at least we're not standing pat.

 

[conner01]

Worley is listed as 6-1, 215. He's bigger than anyone we currently have at safety. I think that's where we want him to play. If so, I think it's a good move. Take a player who wasn't bad at corner but was too slow and see if you can give him new life at safety.

Worley is too slow for CB
Not bad speed for safety
Better ball skills than what we’ve had at safety
I think those thinking we are gonna cut chido are silly
We will see in camp, hopefully

 

[dwmyers]

If speed is Worley's issue, what prevents him from being used when speed doesn't matter? Like within 20 yards of the end zone, where turnovers might matter more. Sorry, just thinking while writing..

I'm not sure why some seem to think Awuzie can't be used in a press man scheme. In fact, I'd say both he and Lewis are better in that than off coverage.

Awuzie is 6-0, 202 pounds, so he's not far off sizewise either than the corners we've been bringing in. And Lewis has been proving those who judge him by his size wrong for years.

I don't think either is necessarily guaranteed a starting spot, or even a roster spot, but I also can't see why we would assume they are getting kicked aside. We'll carry five or six corners. Having the best depth competition we can for those spots is in the greatest interest of the team. Having corners who can play safety also helps the depth and competition at those positions.

He was a better corner. When we drafted him I think he played mostly corner that year and almost got defensive rookie of the year award.

He does seem to have good ball skills.

It isn't as easy as it sounds for a CB to slide over to safety. Sometimes it's tough to see the whole field.

I agree about Chido. I don't think we will cut him at all. I still see him as our number one CB.

I don't know where this came about Chido.......Not only do I not se him getting cut but I think he's our best corner and will be this season.

He got picked on last year because most stayed away from Byron.

 

[CWR]

So many corners


Doesnt bode well for Chido imo

Diggs
Lewis
Brown
Robinson
Canady
Worley
Chido


We are only keeping 5 of these guys

They will probably move someone to Safety. I think Cheeto will be fine.

Having the best depth competition we can for those spots is in the greatest interest of the team. Having corners who can play safety also helps the depth and competition at those positions.

I said five or six here, but it could be up to seven depending on what we do with the safety spot unless anyone thinks Darian Thompson is safe.

 

[CWR]

You are probably right. Someone of these guys will rise up, especially with a new staff. I think the hate has gone too far on all of Cheeto, Lewis and Brown. Alot of what we are doing at CB is based on the fact both Cheeto and Lewis are in contract years. Not that it wasnt a position of need.

 

[kskboys]

Every year we sign these guys for camp fodder, and every year people have them making the team.

Worley will not make the team. Only way he does is due to injuries.

 

[gimmesix]

I think Awuzie struggled some with the kick-step technique that Richard asked our corners to play. Although Richard also believed in press man, he was a major proponent of the kick-step, where the corner takes an outside step toward the sideline when the ball is snapped, waits for the receiver to move vertically into their strike zone and jams the receiver.

Awuzie has the natural ability to jam and run with a receiver. I think the technique forced him to do it less naturally than it comes to him.

I don't believe in one-size-fits-all techniques. You learn what a player can do best to accomplish his job and you try to work with that within the system. Awuzie was better IMO before Richard came along.

If you diagnose his play, Chido has real problems finding the ball and getting interceptions or knocking the ball down. He's just not
up to playing the position the coaches have envisioned. He might be able to play safety where he can come to the ball rather than
tracking it.
