Video: James Washington Film Session | WR Signs To Dallas Cowboys

[morasp]

Overview
Washington is a top-heavy receiver with dangerous build-up speed who has a three year history of hitting chunk plays thanks to his speed and ball tracking. Washington is more gradual than sudden with check marks in the vertical categories but minuses in categories like route running and hands. Washington has the potential to compete as a WR2 for a team looking to stretch the field. His limitations and dependence upon his quarterback's deep ball accuracy makes the chasm between his ceiling and floor a little wider.
Strengths

• Escapes press with good initial quickness
• Vertical talent averaging just over 20 yards per catch over last three years
• Awkward early steps into route develop into powerful, driving strides eight yards in
• Surprises cornerbacks with build up speed and consistently gets by them
• Accelerates from stems on post routes and creates open deep looks for quarterbacks
• Tracks balls like a centerfielder racing for the warning track
• Adjusts speed to match ball flight and keeps cornerbacks stacked
• Able to go up and come down with the deep ball with the best of them
• Deep speed creates cushion for comeback routes underneath
• Flashes runaway speed after catch or will get physical to add critical yardage
• Worked outside and from slot

He should be able to fill Wilson’s role

In addition to what Voch said I think another reason his production dropped was the steelers had to go to a short passing game due to poor pass protection.

They have said OL will be addressed in the draft so stay tuned.

 

[Creeper]

Looks like he could have been a reasonable replacement for Michael Gallup had they not re-signed him.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

He's fine for 3rd or 4th receiver on your team.

Question for the board:
Is this an upgrade over Wilson ?

i have a sudden urge to manscape LMAO what the EF! lol

I don't see Dak throwing deep often though where Washington excels.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

He should be able to fill Wilson’s role

how, in 15 games with Pittsbrgh he had 44 targets for 28 catchs and 285 yards
wilson in similar number of games had 61 targets, 45 receptions and 600 yards.

there is no kool aid they drink when they enter Dallas facilities and turn into supermen. he is just a JAG

Personally I’d rather have just kept Wilson
But he is capable of filling the role Wilson did

I’d say no.

I’d rather have kept Wilson but he’s fine for the roles Wilson has played
I do think Wilson is a better player though

 

[charron]

Wash should start the year as the #2 guy untill Gallup gets back on the field healthy. But if Wash and Dak do not build some chemistry things will not go well for this offense at all.

 

[Miller]

There was another YouTube video in his signing thread. I like what I saw..speed and power. What l liked more was he goes up for the ball. Not a massive signing but he could be a #3 easily and make plays. Remember how Terrence Williams could bust out some games taking slants to the house. Maybe like that but with more power.and jump. Again not a massive move but good.

That was this past season. Washington’s best season was his 2nd year when he had 44 for 735 (16.7 YPC). This is a good signing.
