Reportedly, they'd been working him in the slot but weren't as comfortable with him knowing his assignments there until later in the offseason. At least on Talking Cowboys, they mentioned this was one of the things--along with getting off the line faster--Dez has been working on this campe with Dooley/Linehan.
Given the issues he obviously had early on with his sight adjustments, I don't have a hard time believing it at all.ez
But, DFWJC, re: that Jet's trap play...I don't remember Dez's comments there. That was a play designed to fool Tony--that worked. Was Dez saying he should have caught it anyway? IIRC, Revis undercut that route pretty cleanly at an angle where Dez didn't have a lot of options, either. Or am I thinking about a different play?
