News: CW: Can Cowboys WR Simi Fehoko take over Noah Brown's role?

[big dog cowboy]

And yet we have added several WR that will compete for spots he needs..if he doesnt break into the lineup this year do you not think the FO will look at this as a move on scenario?

No. He was a 5th rounder and his role is on special teams and back up WR. He wasn't drafted with the idea he would be a starter. Yeah it would be really nice if he turned into one. But breaking into the starting lineup or not won't be the determining factor in moving on from him. The Cowboys aren't going to put Lamb, Gallup or Cooks on specials teams. Someone has to fill those roles.

He could stay on as ST player for sure, he could also get replaced by the next cheaper Semi Fehoko on ST as they see if he can play WR also, I'm just saying this year is important for him as a WR on this team.

-------Can Cowboys WR Simi Fehoko take over Noah-Browns-role?

OMG....really? What role similar to Brown would that be....stealing money for 5 years? .Setting up the opponent for a game winning TD with a perfect volleyball dig? This is one of the reasons we can't get over the hump.....refusal to CHURN THE DAMN ROSTER when its a Booger and Chuckles draftee!!! The dude is JAG....at best.

All signs point to Dallas taking a WR early in this draft. That means 5 WRs are likely to be on the team (Lamb, Cooks, Gallup, Tolbert and a rookie). Tolbert may be secure simply due to the draft capital spent on him just a year ago.

Fehoko and every other WR will he competing for 1 roster spot. Fehoko better hope 2 WRs aren't taken in this draft.

I hope he shows improvement and makes a jump. It may be tough to be expected to be like Brown was last season. Tolbert is going to get every opportunity to be the 4th WR, it will be interesting to see Tolbert, the high rookie pick of the 2023 draft and Fehoko compete. But, I think the odds could be stacked against him being the fourth or fifth WR.

 

[DCBoysfan]

I like him, I’m eager to see what he can do.

I’m hoping he surprises this year.

 

[CowboyRoy]

Foheko hasnt dont anything. Couldnt even stay healthy last year and I dont think he even played.

 

[Whiskey Cowboy]

Brown was WR2 by default last year. Thankfully Cooks will fill that role and Gallup hopefully returns to form as WR3. In 2021 Brown had 16 catches for 184 yards. Surely Simi can match that production if given the chance, but barring injury, I don't see him playing a big role in this offense.

 

[plasticman]

No young player on the Cowboys team is taking it easy. They are working hard to improve their skill set

Therefore, I have to believe that Fehoko is traveling a similar career path to that of Noah Brown.

I'm talking about guys like Noah Brown, Dalton Schultz, Dorance Armstrong, Tyler Biadacz, Cooper Rush, etc.

Fehoko will definitely get his share of competition.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Why don't the Cowboys convert Simi Fehoko from WR to a TE? He's currently 6'4", 222 lbs but runs a 4.37 40. Bulk him up to around 237-240 lbs, have him get stronger and play him at TE. He would by far be our fastest TE who could beat any LB or Safety trying to cover him inside. Everyone knows them Polynesians are known for their body mass and strength. Get Simi in the weight room, bulk him up while increasing his strength, then try him at the TE spot.



What say you?

 

[Kwyn]

He hasn’t shown anything since being drafted that indicates he can be a solid NFL player.

 

[KJJ]

He's more likely to take over Jalen Tolbert's role.

What, being healthy scratch on game days? Lol He only spent about 8 games activated. The Cowboys are hoping Tolbert will step up seeing they invested a third round pick on him last year.

 

[KJJ]

If Fehoko does take over Noah Brown’s role that may pretty much be it for Jalen Tolbert. He could end up a complete waste of a third round pick. The Cowboys could possibly take a WR in this draft.

 

[Motorola]

Foheko hasnt dont anything. Couldnt even stay healthy last year and I dont think he even played.

Fehoko played in the first 5 games last year before going on IR for the rest of 2022 due to a shoulder injury
43 snaps on special teams, 36 on offense.
3 catches for 24 yards (targeted 4 times).

Why don't the Cowboys convert Simi Fehoko from WR to a TE?

They already converted him from TE to WR. Now you want him to go back?

 

[reddyuta]

I am not sure.with MM i have noticed once guys get in the doghouse they never get out (ie Cox).

 

[Hawkeye0202]

He's plays slower than his 40 time shows...

Not sure if this is right but it's some, for sure. We have heard he was getting more playing time the last 2-3 seasons but when the season starts....

 

[Mr_437]

No.
Simi isn't like Noah.
Do the Cowboys have a need in the offense for Simi's skill set?

 

[Vinnie2u]

Not sure if this is right but it's some, for sure. We have heard he was getting more playing time the last 2-3 seasons but when the season starts....

He creates no separation and seems robotic at times. From what I seen in his limited opportunities.. He doesn't stand out..

Laughing...that's the extent of my confidence in Simi.

 

[CATCH17]

He looked so out of shape last year.

Dude just needs to run and run and run this off-season.

He has to play faster.
