and with the 22nd pick in the 2007 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys select.........

AARON ROSS - THE
UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS

:jerk:

 

[LatinMind]

yes he gave up big plays...all CBs do....

here is the skinny on Ross....when he plays tight on the WR, he is lockdown. However, when he plays off the WR, he gives up catches and big plays.

So just play him on the WR at the snap and he will be good to go. Also, he is great at creating turnovers. He forces fumbles, recovers them, and gets INTs....he also tackles very well. On top of all of this, he is a very nice punt returner.

u do know that the rules between college and pros for cb's are very different right? in college u can basically kill a guy and not get flagged if ur playing on your home field. in the nfl u touch a player even after 4 yrds u get flagged.

I don't like that Nelson isn't very smart... Not at all.

watkins was playing very good at the end of the yr. he wasnt making the mistakes he was at the begining of the yr, and he was tackling better. had a couple of picks too. watkins is fine.
i dont think nelson would really be a upgrade over watkins. and if he is the difference i dont think is really noticable. once watkins got used to the rules in the nfl he was fine.

Fix the pass rush and we are OK at FS with either Watkins or Henry. Draft a FS and we still need to fix the pass rush. Bottom line.....fix the damn pass rush!!!

May have something to do with him not being in the draft.

Dang I thought he was a senior.


I've been avoiding as much football as possible ever since the "hold".

The problem with the pass rush will be improved just due to the scheme alone.

That I do agree with. I said all last year we ran the worse 3-4 in the league.

Our 3-4 was basically Zimmer's old 4-3 scheme but with the DE standing up.


Only it was actually a little more effective then Zimmer's old 4-3.

That and about 20 other differences.

Whatever you say, Beaver.


You do understand the meaning of the word "Basic" or "Basically", right?


My god, if there's any college in your area that teaches the BASICS of football, please do us all a favor and take it.

Just getting a rile out of you.

well latin heres how it goes...

the same feeling i had with Vasher, I now have with Ross.......I was right about Vasher....So I feel I will be right about Ross

i think everybody had that feeling about vasher. nobody has that feeling about ross.

I'd rather take Zbikowski in the second. For some reason he isn't rated that high this year but he's one of the top 2-3 safeties in this draft IMO.

Plus he can return punts.

Because he is pathetic in coverage.

Hes a bad *** but not what we need.

and dallas already has a Ss who is bad in coverage

 

[Ratmatt]

I like Nelson alot,but I'm not for sure if he will be there when we pick at 22.

 

[nicodywill]

he'll be there just watch i hope we don't pick him though go pass rusher or CB and move henry to FS
