James Washington looks better on tape than his stats show

[blueblood70]

Yep. My only real concern with Washington is that right now he might be our second receiver for a couple of games (and Brown our third receiver). I see that as a real problem.

why? run game, please, PA passes, feature Lamb..

i mean this has been and always will be KM weak spot..he needs 4 premiere wrs to run his pass happy offense and cant find way to get the run game going then go out and feature one player? many teams do this its not like Rogers and brady had a ton of talent at EWR typically ONE main target etc .. last year we saw AC get upset hes open but not getting the ball that not on dak that was KM design telling Dak who his #1 on that pay was and that where they went..instead of the hot hand or go after particular DB and just burn him all day..its scheme.

So KM for 2 games cant find balance? run game, Schultz, Pollard, and Lamb wr targets, not enough?? get healthy Zeke going?

..give that nonsense ne a rest..

Im Hoping that the biggest Improvement this year is MM in KM ear all off season about balance a run game and hopefully the OL is solid and being they have all of season to best prepare for game 1 &2 they can come up with solid plan to run and offsense with those players available..

if the OL doesn't come together wont matter how many WRs we have,,daks running on the snap , cuts half the field off, and then has to throw on the run, no run game etc thats the exact reason we faltered down the stretch.,

He is a great Safety, but getting a little long in the tooth...

Thank you all who got my joke !
That was in honor of former Cowboys 90s Great safety James Washington.
He had an outstanding SB game against the Bills.

Washington makes the team.

No doubt.

In my mind, at least.

I hope so, he seems like a good guy, hope he makes team and has some success early on.
When gallup is ready, jerry will force him right on the field , and that will take someone off.

If you can't pass, you can't run. You need receivers who can open things up for the running game and other receivers. If defenses can single-cover those receivers, you're not going to have to worry about pass happy or getting the running game going. Neither of those things will happen.

Kellen moore is that you or is this his mother??

either way nope...if they are so overloading the run because they dont respect your pas then Lamb, pollard ,Schultz and other should be able to succeed until Gallups back if not we are flat doomed.

But umm no its more the other way around..sorry but you run to set up polay action get that rollig and we are good hence the fiorst 8 game slast year 5 of them the run game had this offsne set up doiung great things..,

Both the run and pass set each other up. If you can't do one well, then defenses are going to focus on stopping the other. If Washington has to be our second receiver and Noah Brown our third, that plays into the hands of the defense against both the run and pass ... unless Washington proves to be more than a cheap pickup no one wanted to give much money to because he deserved to be fourth on the Steelers' depth chart.

As always, you are only as strong as your weakest link.

but again you have zero idea what either will truly look lie lets move on.

im saying by what i saw LATE last year the run game,. OL, and Moores play calling is much more a concern then starting the first game or 2 without Gallup.

you find run game, better OL play, and better play calling balancing run and pass , its not that bad to anticipate we will be fine,. if not the coaches all need to be fired , teams with less talent utilize talent using scheme effectively then we do and hope that the largest area of improvement this year.

Moore needs to stop playing checkers vs other defenses playing chess..

So, I really like this player. He looks much better on tape than his stats show. So I was wondering what fans thought about his play, and if there was a reason why his stats don't line up with the tape on him.

He was apparently buried on the depth chart and several fans were saying he wasn't getting enough opportunities.

But the fans seem to think he could have produced more if given the opportunity.

Interesting read if you care to take the time.

I personally think hes a GREAT pickup for the Cowboys a very nice under the radar addition

Could be, but expect that to possible change within the next few days.

Yeah. I think we go receiver in one of the first three rounds. Whether that receiver will be any good is a different question.
