Experiment worked with Shields. Typically conversion projects rarely work out.
It would be interesting to see a full list of players that have converted from WR to CB.

I had in mind that Will Blackmon (Skins) had done it, but he only played WR as a college Senior having previously played CB.

Quinton Dunbar (Skins) was a college WR that was converted to CB in the NFL. I don't know how good he is, but he was a rookie UDFA in 2015 and started 2 games and then starter another 2 games in 2016.

The conversions that currently interest me are the guys that didn't play much if any football in college because the Cowboy are trying to make a player out of Rico Gathers.

Quinton Rollins as previously mentioned was a college basketball player that played 1 year of college football.

The Seahawks current starting LT is a rookie (George Fant) that only played basketball in college.

Jermey Parnell was a college basketball player that then played 6 games of college football at DE. When the Cowboys got him he had been a TE project by another team and weighed about 275. The Cowboys built him into a good OT that is now over 320. Previous OL coach Bill Calahan said he was surprised the media didn't pick up on that as a really good story.

I'm also interested in Terrelle Pryor as a free agent. He (obviously) was a college QB that moved to WR this season with the Browns. He is a freak athlete (pre-draft: 6-5, 232, 4.38 forty.

Detroit will be our next opponent. NY can't score. Green Bay has no secondary. And Seattle's beat up with a bad o-line. I think the only NFC team that could lead be a problem is Atlanta.

I could care less about what the "we's us or i's"of this board want. We us or I ain't playing. As long as the guys who are playing don't care who is in front of them I feel good as a fan who they are playing.

Setting up for what Mara and the NFL wants..

Get Gregory suspended weakening Dallas pass rush even doing it outside of protocol if what we are reading is true.

Giants beat Greenbay making them the favorites as they've beaten Dallas 2 times. They will have beat the hottest team the last 6 weeks in Greenbay

All we will hear about all week is the 2007 season setting up a rematch against the Pats.

NFL sometimes seems to be scripted, but even though it's not they seem to be influencing stuff.
