Pickens = Alvin Harper this year

[Loso86]

Props to the Cowboys for being cheap on this one. Looking more and more like the right decision. Good for some occasional long bombs, just like Alvin Harper, but CeeDee is the workhorse, just like Michael Irvin. It will still hurt when they lose him and replace him with Fluornoy, but maybe he's willing to come down in price.

CeeDee doesn't get open like that without GP on the otherside, soooo yea lol

I think Risen described Dez and maybe Pickens this way too and I agree with him and that is that even when Pickens is covered he should be thrown to because of his extremely elite ability at making contested catches.

How many times now has it been that the corner is draped all over Pickens only for him to come up with the catch regardless.

He is the best in the biz at that!

a couple f those wide open catches were becaue of the defensive breakdowns. Running with Pickens instead of sticking with Ceedee. Teams are scare or and accountable for Pickens over the top. Dak is looking at Pickens down the field a lot too but smartly not pulling the trigger. But if he see one on one he lets it go. Today the cowboys plays ceedeee and Pickens on the same side a lot more than often and it threw Houston for a loop. Seem like they just wanted to keep everything infront of them

I think it is too early in the season to Harper-codify Pickens. He is not as agile a receiver on the field as CeeDee but he does have the propensity to put a lot of points on the scoreboard in games.

Looks to me like CeeDee is the reason Pickens had his standout year last season, including the injury that gave him more starting time. Having said that, it's still nice to have a vertical jump threat like him on the field. I just wish he didn't want to charge us $40 million a year for it.

I think they complement one another and force a defense to pick their poison

Pickens is part of the reason CD had 17 catches. No Pickens and a defense like the Texans can shut CD down.

THIS RIGHT HERE!!!!!!
