Scout's Notebook: Andy Jones & Zach Wood Stand Out Among Undrafteds

[Bullflop]

Does Romo reward those who complement or compliments him well? Or is it really both? Nothing wrong with suckn up to the starting qb

LOL-- I intentionally spelled it to mean complement or i.e., aiding his cause. I'm sure Romo is smart enough to know words only go so far.

tell me that Tony Romo has so much confidence in his ability that he is not afraid to throw him the ball in any situation.....................

This just doesn't happen that easy or that often for a Rookie.......a very good sign

.......another FCS level player that just cant compete

If rb DJ can return kicks, maybe even punts(?), does the emergence of Andy Jones along with less special teams duties for Lucky put his spot in danger, or is it more on Street? If Cowboys want to go long at DLine and other spots, they will be looking at crossover duty players

I'd keep lucky he's still a weapon we can have good depth at st imo both he and Jackson look like playmakers I'd keep them both

Fixed. I think Jones can take Street's spot whether he's healthy or not. I think his biggest hurdle to making the team will come from the rest of the roster, as in the team wanting to keep four running backs or four tight ends, or the fullback position. I think ideally, they'd keep only 5 receivers, but Jones may force the issue.

He might lose it even healthy my point is if he isn't on the field he won't have a chance to make the team.

I think my grandma could beat Street out with a coaching staff doing fair evaluations. Hoping Jones beats out not only Street but also Twill, who I believe will be a FA next year.

Romo trust T Will not only that he isn't pushing Williams off the roster this season

 

[Irvin88_4life]

What happened to Street? I haven't seen yet.
I was going to post that Stephen Jones had mentioned Andy Jones prior to the OTA's as a FA that they are intrigued with.
So if they were to keep 6 WR's, Jones would be the one to push Street, as we assume Butler would be one of the 5. Unless Whitehead doesn't make it for some reason, if they find other returners.

Butler and Whitehead will make the roster, it will come down to Street against Jones I think. Think Street has a got injury can't remember, I just know he is out injuried

i didn't say push Twill off the roster, Twill will be here until his contract is up. I'm hoping someone like Butler or Jones supersedes Twill before his contract is up for two reasons, eliminates the need for a high priced FA or draft pick, and upgrades the position. Twill is okay, but I'd like someone a bit better, esp for the cost that we paid to acquire Butler and Jones. Call me greedy.

Nice. It's about time we got some contribution from a lower evaluated receiver.

Your QB trusting you is everything. If Andy keeps it up, Street is gone. Can't say I'm upset about that.

Seems like DT's can come out of nowhere. Good to see Wood being productive. His issue coming out was technique/strength, if he improved in those areas there's a spot for him. All his draft evaluations talk about effort never being a problem with him. Hope he continues to improve.

Only way I see upgrading T Will is drafting his replacement. He gets way more hate then he should
