New LB Watson is a special teams ace

My first Gif.

Watson is #57 being blocked by Free.

Nice job on your first gif.

I could be wrong but despite the title of this thread, I get the feeling this is more about Free messing up than the new LB Dallas just signed.

I dare him to repeat that with us. Plays with energy and hopefully he can spark our ST.

Like I said... I could be wrong.

Watson got under Free and got a push but he didn't block kick. Clemons swam over Smith for the block.

Free did get turned but he was engaged by two players 51 and 57. I'm not going to say that it wasn't a bad play on Free's part but the inline view is much more representative of what went on than that one.

You really don't like Free, xwalker, but he is a Cowboy. I don't get it.

Honestly, it looks like Tyron Smith is more at fault there by letting his guy get to Free along with Watson.

In any event, I love the entire OL unit we have. I couldn't be much happier with any of them.

Watson better avoid Dan "Money" Bailey is all I'm saying.

You're not saying that Free did his job, are you? Because that's exactly what he did. The guy he's blocking didn't get close to the kick, while the guy Smith was blocking went right around him.

Sometimes ugly ain't a bad thing.

Yep. Parnell to take over LT?

j/k BTW...

It is a reasonable prod. One of our better posters has a weird blind spot

X is definitely one of the better posters here. He is like a dog with a bone on this one subject though.

I probably have similar things that I have too, so I can't say too much.

Where is this Dan Bailey gif of his deathstare at? This thread needs some.

I think he us right on the player's performance. I do think he undervalues leadership and communication. We had major breakdowns with Free out. That's a big part of his value

 

[hairic]

That's not entirely Smith's fault. Watch both sides of the line: Everybody's legs kick inside to help cover the gap inside them and anchor, elbows out too (part of the reason Free got blown up); they're blocking space/forming a wall, not individuals. The reason the kick is blocked is because Free gets blown back at first contact creating a gap that shouldn't be there, offering no help to the gap inside of him. The reason Free got blown up is his anchor step, it's like he's pass blocking there with 2012 technique, he's got no anchor and nothing protecting his chest.

• You have to give Jaguars defensive end Chris Clemons a lot of credit in the way he was able to get between Tyron Smith and Doug Free to block Dan Bailey’s field goal. On the play, Mackenzy Bernadeau got overextended, as did Smith.
  
  Free was not able to set his base, and was much too tall as linebacker Dakota Watson got into his chest. Clemons was set up on Smith’s right shoulder and was able to make a swim move much like he was rushing Smith on a pass play.
  
  With Smith overextended and off balance to his left this allowed Clemons to attack that right shoulder. Once he was able to clear that it gave him a clean path to the ball and he tipped the kick away with his right hand.

DEKODA WATSON

Is also on the field goal rush. Had a hand in the Dan Bailey block attempted. Was able to get underneath Doug Free and drive him off balance which allowed Chris Clemons to swim the gap.

I sometimes wonder if XWalker's last name is Parnell.

 

[Nirvana]

Don't understand why the Jaguars cut this guy. Maybe that's one of the reasons they suck. Letting good talent get away.

Our special teams performance has been struggling lately and that's the primary reason Watson is coming to the Cowboys. ST Coach Bisaccia respects him very much and vice-versa. He's also not bad at all as a backup LB.
