Isaiah Stanback

[AmishCowboy]

Stanback remains a longshot. He may or may not ever be any good. You can't hang your hopes on a guy like that. We need to address this position early in the draft or free agency.

I'm not banking on him either, but I'm also not giving up after his redshirt season, we will use a high pick on a WR. Ireland was good at late round gems and he really like Stanback.

Stanback isn't a very good WR.


Dallas will need to draft wisely in April.

How exactly do you know that???

*Isaiah (sorry for the typo)

Did he even get on the field? This guy had to be the most hyped player we've had in years; more than Woody Danzler. At least Danzler got onto the field.


What happened to Stanback? I thought he was gonna be the secret weapon? My gosh with as bad as Crayton and Hurd and Austin were, you'd think he could have had a shot. Was he injured or does he suck that bad as a WR?

He was in street-clothes. Not active.

next yr we should hear from him

Did anybody hear Jerry on the D&M show on the Ticket this morning? He was talking about next year and how there are some exciting young players who got close to playing this year but they are VERY excited about for next year. He then said "like Isaiah Stanback. He could be the real deal."

I thought it was very interesting that Stanback was the only young guy he mentioned by name.

This is what worries me about Jerry Jones. He's basing his assesment from practice against out DBs. As we saw all season, our DBs outside of Newman are nothing to write home about. I remember them saying Stanback was giving our DBs fits in practice. If it wasn't TNew, then that's not saying much IMO. I like his quickness, because thats exactly what I thought we were missing at the Wr position. We had alot of long striders and no quick twitch guys that could get open fast then use their speed in underneath routes. Our Wrs could beat you going deep or in zone coverages, but outside of that we didn't have anyone that could beat a DB in man to man on a quick slant route and create seperation. We didn't have that WR like McDonald, Jennings, Holmes, even Steve Smith. GUys that are fast and quick on shorter routes.

 

[Doomsday101]

yep, he was hurt coming into the draft and was changing positions, cut him and watch how fast Parcells and Ireland pick him up.

I don't know how things will turn out for Stanback but you enter camp with 80players he will be one of them and hopefully with a full off-season and training camp he can make a case for himself.

i hope so and I hope he's the threat most folks hype him up to be, not another Matt Jones.

I keep playing the same tune, but with the kind of coverage Owens/Witten get, a 2nd/3rd/4th WR really does have the opportunity to shine in this offense... just a matter of seeing who steps up.

 

[khiladi]

All I'm saying is the 3 plays I saw him return the kick-off, the guy looks like a physical beast... He looked explosive, and got significant yardage by simply hitting the hole quick.

Uh, we have one of the greatest slant route runners in the history of the game, as well as one of the best at creating separation. His name is Terrell Owens. The problem is Garrett didn't exploit this like he should have...

TO is the best at running crossing routes. JG, utilized TO to the best of his abilities. TO even said so. We can't expect TO to catch ever ball when teams man up. The defense will use coverages to take him away. BP said it best, you can always game plan to take away any player. Now when TO is being triple covered on a simple 10 yard hook and no one else is open, then something is wrong. I can't name on WR on this team outside of TO that I feel comfortable with beating man to man coverage. NOT 1 and don't bring up TG, cause he wasn't here all year and maybe done forever.

 

[big dog cowboy]

LOL

And yet... if we send him out on that route instead of Crayton... he doesnt slow up and probably makes that catch :bang2: :bang2:

Yes-sir-eee-bob.

TO is best at running slants, as his 100 receptions in both SF and Philly revela. And also, TO, during the offensive dry-spell, was saying the exact opposite. He wondered why they weren't lining him up all over the field.

There best game this season was probably Philadelphia, because they moved him around way more.

Stanback will get an entire off-season and training camp after that they will see if he is worth keeping. Given his status at the start of this season with so much times missed due to injury I did not expect anything out of him.

:starspin I felt the same way about Stanback, he was/is a project, and I don't think Valley Ranch expected anything out of him this year for that reason. Let's hope he's a quick study at the WR spot, if not....another project missed. We will need to bring in another WR though because we can't just keep thinking of him with the word "potential" associated with him. We will need to cover ourselves either way and bring in another WR either via FA the draft, or both. Reeves may be a guy with good speed, but besides his speed, I don't see him as much more than a backup who wasn't/isn't anywhere near ready to be a starter, and may never be ready to be a starter either.

I don't give a damn if TO is the best at running every route a WR is supposed to run, if a team wants to take away one player they can game plan to do so. Outside the great route runner TO, who else in the WR corp can consistently beat one on one coverage without running in a straight line? NO ONE!
