Twitter: McCarthy talks CB options who need to step up with Brown out

[Pass2Run]

Thanks for posting on this type of stuff, WG.

I think Doran Bland is the guy we should start opposite of Diggs.

Move KJ to the slot, where he's better suited, imo.

For all the hate that Anthony Brown gets, he's one of the better CBs in the league.

He's not Trevon Diggs, but who is?

Crossing my fingers the rest of our secondary stays healthy, because we need them all.

They may experiment some over the next 2 games if they get a comfortable lead. See what works best.

Base: Diggs and Joseph.

Nickel: Bland on the inside / Diggs & Joseph outside.

Dime: Joseph & Bland inside / Diggs & Wright outside.

Nickel is base.

We know he's an option. He wouldn't be on the practice squad if they didn't see him as an option.

But here we go with trying to put another short guy on the outside. Guys 5'10".

5'11-3/4" (5116)

39" vertical

I’d like to see what happens if we give Joseph a couple of games. Have the hook ready if he falls apart, but see what he’s got.
Bland is doing well at slot. Keep him there. He’ll play most downs.
Wright looked like Brown, in phase but didn’t play the ball. He may show improvement.

The Cowboys official website says 5'10", but they're known for being inaccurate.

The 39" vertical seems promising though. That's one of A.Brown's shortcomings. He's 5'11" and he can't jump.

5'11-3/4" (5116) is the official combine measurement. They measure to within 1/8".

KJ. Just a dumb player. We don’t need that. Hope he proves me wrong.

I haven't seen anything from Joseph that leads me to believe he is any good.

He seems to have the skill level. Nobody knows where his head is at. But he does get beat pretty consistently.

I see him getting abused by good QB's and receivers. Seeing a receiver like Brown from Philly against Joseph makes me cringe.

Hopefully somebody steps up in practice. But I'm not hopeful. This will be the weakness in the defense. It already was because Brown wasn't great either, but his replacements are a step down from him.

Joseph scares the hell out of me

..oh man, this might be hard lesson learned coming up. Hopefully, DQ see's what is really happening.

I really hope that Dallas looks elsewhere. I'm a fan of Kevin King. He was a good player for Green Bay when healthy. I don't trust Joseph.

King is out all of the season to recover from injuries. I am not sure he comes back for a few games this year. He likely wants to get healthy and paid next season
