Lucky Whitehead, another kudos thread

[jazzcat22]

I know Lucky has had many threads created over the season.

most have been critical of him to some degree, including myself. some said get rid of him, some said let's wait and see how he develops. some in between, some changing their opinions on and off.

I liked those runs they give him, they did earlier in the year, then stopped. but they used them last night, and very effectively.
His return game in both Kickoffs and punts, has really improved.
We could see his speed, and they are trusting him more.
They still put Beasley back there for fair catches inside the 20. But that needs to change, I want to see Whitehead back there, make something happen. I think he has shown he can.

I know it's the decision thing, on fair catch or run. But he has shown his speed.

Hope he breaks one, or 5, for TD's against GB.

I would much rather take my chances with 13 returning punts than 11. At least with 13 there is hope of a decent return. 11....not so much.

Whitehead or Fair Catch Bailey you choose.

I think the coaching staff sees his talent, which is also why we kept him on the roster for so long instead of risking him to waivers. Might end up being a niche guy, but a player who can be very dangerous with the ball.

Like the designed runs for him. Gets out into open space fast, and there he has a place to shine. Hoping he continues to work hard at becoming a polished receiver. Would be nice to have him at slot receiver next year along with CB.

I know Beasley gets flack for the number of fair catches but to my eyes it's always or almost always the right decision. And give him credit last night for screening the guy to allow the bounce into the end zone.

Whitehead seems like he's really going to be a good player once his contract expires and he goes somewhere else

Yeah, that was a good play by Beasley. It probably goes unnoticed but it was important field position. He was noticeably happy with it afterwards.

What Lucky did at the final return is something Beasley would have never done. He plays hard and I hope the Cowboys can work him into a starting role at WR in the future.

He is a major threat... A weapon!

Yeah, that was cool. In real time, I was worried he was getting too near the ball, but it was actually a nice little aggressive play.

Whitehead should've been returning kicks and punts from game 1. I also think Collins and McFadden should've been game 1 starters. There were definitely some misevaluations heading into season.

They need to do more reverses like that. He was already hauling *** before he got the hand-off. Also, change that up a little too. A little pitch to him and let him Forrest Gump for a 1st down. I loved those plays.
