Cowboys still need blazing fast WR/KR

[DCCowboys11]

Anyone else agree? The cowboys still need a blazing fast (4.3/4.2+) type receiver that can also return kicks. I think that type of speed threat can go a long way to help this team. Someone who can really take the top off the defense and is a real threat on special teams (KR/PR). Somebody Dak can dump a quick short route to and they break off a 60 yard gain. Can Tolbert become that guy? Thoughts???

Agreed, did you have anyone in mind?
That would be available ?

We already have a blazing Kick returner in Tony Pollard as he's emerged as one of the most dangerous kick off returners in the NFL

... what we need an dangerously effective Punt returner ....

..not really, just someone who has instinct or knack for getting yardage. Speed helps, though anyone with 4.5 or 4.6 would do fine.

They only matter if they are actually good players. We had Tavon Austin, and he sucked. The opportunities to get actual impact speed WR's arent that frequent.

Besides, taking the top off of the defense is something we have been able to do without speed WR's. Threatening teams vertically hasnt been an issue for us

I wanted them to draft Marcus Jones who is the best return man in football. I was upset when the Patriots snagged him.

I think need is the wrong word. It would be nice to have a 4.2 guy to stretch the field, but I think they can get away with what they have. I still think the season pivots on the offensive line.

Returning kickoffs... Pollard.
Returning punts.... Jalen Tolbert.

We like our guys.

They just need a guy that can field the ball.

Agreed....

In today's NFL all kickoff returners need to know how to do is watch kickoffs sail over their heads into the endzone. What are the numbers with kickoff going for touchbacks every year?

Don't need 4.2 fast, but we need a genuine threat to run by CBs or we'll be facing a crowded LOS forever.

Tolbert just barely squeezes under 4.5. He ain't it.

I'm not wasting capital getting a kick returner. Put a RB back there and call it a day. Positive yardage, and won't fumble.

You mean like Devin Smith or Tavon Austin?

Let me guess

You also think we need:

1. A big fat guy in the middle of the d-line
2. A nasty offensive lineman that reminds you of Erik Williams
3. A get in your face tough guy head coach

You already mentioned a guy to ‘take the top off the defense’ so I won’t mention that.

what other generic fan type needs am I missing?

Let me make another guess. A white linebacker reminds you of Bobby Carpenter. Got it.

 

[ondaedg]

The Bengals have Ja’marr. The Chiefs had Tyreek. The Rams have Van Jefferson (21mph timed). Anyone see a pattern?

Yes I agree we need that WR who puts some fear into safeties so they can’t sit on passes in front of them.

He seems to have been better at making decisions as to bring it out for a return, than he had when he first started. But still has that brain fart at times.
But all players have those. Just him more than others as for returns.
Maybe that is better this year. It was his biggest pet peeve for me about him. But he can have exciting returns. Just need to be more often.
