Signed by Cowboys Cowboys sign CB Daryl Worley

[Carson]

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.

Ehhhhh I disagree.

He has started 49 games and has played CB and Safety. He is also only 25 years old.

Starting jobs aren’t knocking down his door. But he could have waited until camp when injuries pile up. There is a reason he signed here

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.

Not to come at you, but yall gotta stop giving these players a pass..

Its not like Chido was getting toasted ala Byron Maxwell and Bradley Fletcher. He would be in position to make a play and just couldnt. And before you blame coaching, Byron didnt have this issue.

Watch the first 3:00 min of this video (its up until the part where he gets benched).

Based on what?'

Awuzie was the best in run support of the Cowboys CBs in 2019.

People see a few instances of lackadaisical tackling and forget all else. Dudes always been a solid tackler and his frame allows him to really be effective as a run defender. One of his pros comin out of college.

Byron really took to the technique taught by Richard. It appeared to fit him to a T. There have been too many instances where a coach forced a player to play with a certain style that just didn't fit them for it to just be dismissed that the technique wasn't a big part of the problem, especially since Awuzie had played better before then, looking like he could be a budding star.

Now, there are various reasons that players fall off, so I don't think we should dismiss any possibilities, which is why I'm glad we strongly restocked the corner position this offseason. He won't be given a pass by this staff. It's either prove it or lose it, and that's the way it ought to be.

 

[Williamsboys]

Cornerback by committee.

 

[Teague31]

Worley is absolutely going to make the team. A young but veteran player than can play corner and safety? Those kind of guys are worth their weight in gold

 

[willia451]

Pay no attention to those CBs behind the curtain.

Just look at those WRs.

Shiny.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

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

Right.

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.

Not only that but it just came out that the corners were only allowed to use one technique in coverage. Set up to fail.

It disturbs me that this coaching staff saw the corners struggling with that technique and just said screw it keep doing it.

That has been the entire philosophy under Garrett. We dont adjust, we just hope to get better at executing what we currently do.

Yeah I mean I try and let him live since he's not here anymore but he rears his ugly head daily it seems.

Formerly of the Raiders. Started 15 games for them last season.

Nice pickup

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

This guy was great for the Eagles.... for the whole 5 minutes we had him.

Stay off the drugs kids

Awuzie
9 missed tackles/11.3% missed tackle pct. (2018)
11 missed tackles/12.2% missed tackle pct. (2019)

Byron Jones
4 missed tackles/4.6% missed tackle pct. (2018)
1 missed tackle/2.1% missed tackles pct. (2019)

Players end up playing worst when they go to Philly, especially corners.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Very possible one or two players could be converted to Safety. It's also possible that Awuzie or Lewis could be moved, possibly as part of a package to acquire a Safety like Jamal Adams.

Hope not. Don't wanna see the Cowboys pay elite money for a SS who is immune to int's. Use that money elsewhere.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Everyone please look at these #s before quickly writing off free agent CBs as JAGs. Lewis and Brown are the most overrated Cowboys in recent memory.

Overrated from being what?

 

[Whyjerry]

So many corners


Doesnt bode well for Chido imo

Diggs
Lewis
Brown
Robinson
Canady
Worley
Chido


We are only keeping 5 of these guys

Chido has no one to blame but himself. Read his scouting reports and look at how he has played. Especially last year. Guy is completely apathetic out there.

 

[Whyjerry]

Why do so many people hate Brown? An absolute steal of a 6th rounder. Perfect 3/4 CB on a team. At least he plays hard. Watch him vs Chido or Woods. 2 guys that show very little effort.
