We saw what Flournoy could do last game, after implementing him into the game plan.

It's time, once and for all, for Jalen Cropper to also break out.

Turpin is out, so next man up.
 
Cropper was the returner.

Flournoy is bigger and faster.
For sure. But there's things you can do with Pickens, Flournoy, and Cropper that make sense, especially with Lamb and Turpin out. We could see Cropper in the slot. He's better at short and medium routes and YAC, although he can burn you deep. You can also hand the ball off to him various ways, so he fits the Schotty offense.

If the offense somehow stagnates with Tolbert, expect to see Cropper.

He needs 3-4 targets.

I think Adams will have him coached up.
 
I want to see more of Flournoy. He’s earned the reps.
If you think about it, so has Cropper especially with the injuries.

There's no reason we can't see both get more reps.

As far as I'm concerned, Flournoy is already the WR2 with Lamb out. Cropper can push JT for his spot, IMO.

Cropper now on the 53...

Yep, and he'll be active. I just want him to get a shot, like Flournoy. How many targets did he get last game?

Nobody expected that, but it worked so they kept doing it.

I suspect the same could happen with JC.

We need to trade Tolbert for a LB, S or 5th-7th rounder before the deadline to some WR needy team and let Holden, Mingo and Cropper battle it out for the bottom. Let' see who's hungry now that we've got WR 1-4 sorted (Lamb, Pickens, Flournoy/Turpin). Holden, Mingo or Cropper hold down WR5. That being said, Tolbert's a solid WR5.

But you gotta let Flournoy eat this week after his breakout game last Sunday. We just got him fired up. No need to force this issue and get cute unless you really think Cropper is his equal or better. But I'd be cool if they gave him Tolbert's #3 reps.

He had 6 receptions on like 8 targets for 114 yarss, and then he also got 2 reps in the run game for 10 yards or so. On the all-22 tape—it looks like a couple of those targets he got—he didn't appear to be the primary target—he just got himself open and made plays. I can't wait to see what happens when we scheme him in. But he got 8 reps on just 34 total offensive snaps which is 57% of the total offensive plays. That's why I'm saying ride the hot hand with Flournoy! His efficiency appears to be elite.

Fair enough, but I'm not excluding Flournoy. I also like what he's done out there. I just think Pickens, Flournoy, and Cropper has really dangerous potential as a group.
 
I doubt Tolbert on his last year of his rookie deal would interest anyone . Next year 31 teams are free to go after him and the Cowboys for a 3rd rounder will end up with a low compensation pick . He’s got some talent for whatever the reason hasn’t blossomed although he did have 7 TD catches last year with mostly back up gunslingers
