How Does Kris Richard Impact The CB Position?

With the addition of two new cornerbacks, it seems Kris Richard's preference for tall, long corners is taking shape on the Cowboys' roster.

By taking a very good cover corner with good ball skills and making him a complete non entity because he doesn't fit his template.

Great coach.

Put him on the same train with Marinelli.

My question is when Richard leaves after the 2019 season will DAL have let go of good CBs who don't have 32 inch arms, for lesser players? You should have different size CBs like there are different size WRs.

Good question. I didn't give you a like for it because you didn't give me one either. Two can play this game.

Totally agree about this template coaching. This is a like worthy post, but you have plenty already. Hat tip will do.

@MichaelWinicki can you ask Reality if we can start counting hat tips?:

So does Lewis actually get traded this year because he can make plays but is not tall.

I think so. I believe the FO will wait until TC starts and sees if there are any positions the team is struggling at. If so, I expect them to make some calls to move Lewis as long as B. Jones looks near 100% and Michael Jackson doesn't look like Dwayne Goodrich

Doesn't look anything like Goodrich looks a little like Chad Johnson...

The best thing to like about Richards and his template is he is being permitted to have one. IMO that is much better than being forced to play players that do not fit his scheme. Having said that, it is better when coaches put the best players on the field. Not saying Lewis is or is not that. Just a general statement.

Specifically on Richards though, I think he is a good coach and has made a positive impact on the defense. I hopeful this year he will continue to get the defense to play better.

Hopefully not. That kid can ball.

Lewis struggled. And his height did play a role at times.

If you do not trust Kris Richards reputation with Sherman, Browner, Shead, Thurmond, Thomas, Maxwell, Lane, and Chancellor, All you have to do is look at who taught Kris Richards to coach DBs...

Dennis Thurman and his legacy of DBs including Richards, Revis, Cormartie, McClutchen, Kelly, Polamalu, McAllister, Reed (Ed), Gilmore, played alongside Ronnie Lott at USC (Lott credits Thurman for success), and was the leader of Thurman's Thieves for the Dallas Cowboys (1978-1985).

I am not worried about Kris Richards helping scout and develop DBs.

Focus on a 1 year QB coach that is now OC. The last time that happen under Jerry Jones the chosen one was Jason Garrett. We know how that has worked out.

Facts. I liked him coming in here at first. Now I want him gone

He played better than chido and brown not only last year in limited time but in 2017 as well.

I dont think so. Too many contracts ending at the end of this year, especially in the secondary. I think this is Anthony Brown's last year then Lewis will supplant him.

If he struggled, then Lewis and Chido completely failed last year

Respectfully disagree, I just didn't see it that way.

I'm not sure what you mean. I disagree that Chido completely failed.

Not only do I think that way, PFF has him graded just behind byron with chido and brown not even close
