East-West Shrine Game Reads

[bags]

Here are some fun reads I found over at footballguys.com. A guy named Bloom posted them. These links are more about the players, and not so much about what the cowboys are going to do so be warned! If you're interested in all the draft prospects like I am, then read on. If you have no interest then please ignore.

The Cowboys sprinted right for big, slightly slow WR Marques Colston (more on him from Wednesday’s practice).

Interesting tidbit from the second link there.

Marques Colston of Hofstra left me with a similar feeling as Tarvaris Jackson. Raw as a side of beef, but the makings of an NFL player are there. Colston is a big WR who seemed slow and sometimes got pushed around. John Murphy told me that Colston got a last second invite when Maurice Stovall decided to go to the Senior Bowl, and that he was in combine shape (212 lbs) and not at his playing weight (220 lbs), implying that we hadn't seen the best of Colston. He was very impressed with Colston's ability to use his frame to shield the DB. He came this close to comparing his to Terrell Owens sans attitude, transitioning from talking about Colston to saying "at the same point in his career, Terrell Owens was in this game".

More on Colston. This quote was taken from the first link.

RB Leon Washington has some giddy up. Nice 18 yard burst

Wow...I'm impressed with Marques Colston

Ohio State IB Anthony Schlegel gets the rap of not being very athletic, but he had a very good drop in skeleton drills and batted the pass away. He certainly doesn't lack for effort.


And yes Colston looked great today.

BP would have no interest in a WR from Hofstra.

I'm not sure he and Key could co-exist.

Well, Keyshawn is supposed to be writing another book...timing is everything :

Bill has found a sleeper receiver from Hofstra before, if I'm not mistaken.

Of course omniknowinst draft god - Parcells has never had any leanings to Greater Jersey area kids/schools!

It's called Wayne Chrebet for those who missed it.
