S/CB Corey White claimed today by Cowboys

[justbob]

It'd be great if he could be a FS.

For all the longing I do for defensive linemen, I think I might covet a friggin rangy FS most of all. Just because they are such a rare commodity.

His draft day info makes him sound more like a safety.. Pretty decent size ,takes good angles......Just maybe

Taken from NFL.Com draft profile:

White is an up-and-coming prospect out of Samford who has great size for a cornerback and could be moved back to safety at the next level given his skill set. He has been a consistent tackler and run defender. He could benefit from playing at the back of a defense and working toward the line of scrimmage to be more involved in run support than he would be from his corner position. He could struggle athletically at corner. Look for him to be taken in the late rounds as a project and special teams contributor.


COMBINE RESULTS

• 40 YARD DASH: 4.55 SEC
• BENCH PRESS: 15 REPS
• VERTICAL JUMP: 37.5 INCH
• BROAD JUMP: 126.0 INCH
• 3 CONE DRILL: 6.72 SEC
• 20 YARD SHUTTLE: 4.22 SEC

ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS
White is very strong in run support, where he takes great angles toward the ball. He uses his feet to track runners and fit on them to make plays. He approaches ball carriers like a safety would, which bodes well for a position switch. White displays good athletic ability when near a receiver with the ball is in the air, but he can struggle getting to that point. All these skill sets combine to make him a stronger and more intriguing safety than corner, especially given his size.

WEAKNESSES
White is not a great athlete for the corner position. He is a bit of an awkward runner and can struggle in transitions. He stutters his feet through movements and in and out of breaks, which makes it difficult for him to cover closely in man-to-man schemes. He is a bit late in reacting to plays because of his slow footwork, and the same is true of his reactions when working in zone.

Looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck....

2015 Cowboys, going back to mediocrity in a hurry.

A true FS may be the rarest commodity in all of football. You would think that converting bigger CB's to FS would be more common in today's game.

A new record by 2.7 pages!

White, 24, had another year remaining on his four-year, $2.76 million rookie contract that included a $1.542 million base salary for the 2015 season.

In 2014, White appeared in 15 games and recorded 53 tackles, one sack, a forced fumble, a recovery, and six pass defenses. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 106 cornerback out of 108 qualifying players.

Well the posts haven't exactly been a ringing endorsement either.
The usual, because he wasn't a big name big buck signing. But could be a solid player, adds depth, and much needed depth.
Very surprised no Comments about mo's replacement or will be Bette Ethan Mo. Yet.

 

[Vinnie2u]

Kinda strange we put in a claim for this guy.. Why not wait til he passes waivers.. Then sign him for the vet min..

 

[AmericanCowboy]

I'm gonna give this guy a chance- NO mustve been awful
To play on the last few years and he probably had to deal with two of the most arrogant people in the NFL.

Sounds like he wasnt used properly.

Maybe if he clears waivers, his asking price goes up.

JAG! Bring back Sterling Moore

Its amazing. Some people react to these very marginal and extremely insignificant signings as if the signings can tell us in advance that a bad season is coming in 2015. These are guys brought in on the cheap to get a look at.
They aren't on 4 yr deals with wads of guaranteed money.

"has him rated as the No. 106 cornerback out of 108 qualifying players."

Wow.

It's pff passing metrics where they cannot see downfield in their reviews.

Obviously he replaces Moore.
Why is he a JAG (overused term) anymore than Moore is a JAG.
You tell us, you made the statement.....

 

[jazzcat22]

Man, logic is not your strong suit, is it? If anything, I'm discounting PFF in that post.

Right.
Most likely they person doing the rankings, got tired head after the top 20, and just started listing them to get it over with.

I no longer jest ... Back on thread and stop all the sniping or you will be going home period.

Sniping is fun and justified at certain times. It's so much fun, bob. LeBron has his personal sniper at his games, I want mine.
