Should we be concerned about Scandrick?

[DallasInDC]

After renegotiating his contract this year, all of the feedback I've read about Scandrick in camp is that he is getting burnt left and right. Then I come across this observation from today's practice:

Now on to the practice observations:

• Tony Romo was fresh after his day off on Wednesday. Before Dez Bryant left with a hamstring strain, Romo and the receiver hooked for three touchdowns in tight red zone one-on-one work with all of them coming on Orlando Scandrick. After the third touchdown, Romo said, “Thanks for playing, 32.” In the compete period, Bryant beat cornerback Brandon Carr on a bullet throw from Romo to the back shoulder. In team and seven-on-seven drills Romo completed 14 of 18 passes and it marked the first practice he was not intercepted in camp.

This is getting a little discerning. I realize it was one-on-ones and the advantage goes to the WR, but it seems every time I read Scandrick's name this this training camp, it is always seems to be in a negative light. I hope he gets his act together before the season starts.

Dude was about to marry a psycho. Yeah, the world is coming to an end!

 

[big dog cowboy]

I'm not concerned that OScan can't cover Dez.

 

[Staubacher]

LOL Romo "thanks for playing, 32". Burn!

Romo seems to be hitting his stride. Him and Dez gonna ball this year.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Scan is going up against one of the best offensives in the NFL (Cowboys). Bad things happen.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

At least Scandrick no longer injures everybody around him. He has come a long way. He'll be fine.

 

[RastaRocket]

Dez could beat our corners in triple coverage.

 

[dogunwo]

These practices are almost designed for the offense to dominate. Be worried if he is getting torched during the preseason games.

 

[JDSmith]

If Romo couldn't throw TDs to Dez with no pressure and in a one on one red zone drill against a CB I'd be more concerned about Romo or Dez.

Not all his reports have been negative. He has gotten some interceptions and pass breakups during some drills. Not to mention dez is thr best wr in the league so I would expect him to torch Scandrick with no pass rush. Nothing to worry about until he's getting torched in preseason.

DB's need to be on the edge to perform, it's hard to keep an edge when the cards are stacked against you. We'll see how it plays out when things are on the line. We'll get a good read in the blue/white.

Below average CB
Plays at slightly above average level for 2 years on a CB deprived team
Gets caught (completely coincidental ) using PEDs
Holds out and fans yell "just pay the guy he outplayed his contract"
Player Gets paid
Play drops back to below average
Fans run to defense of "team leader"

Where oh where hVe I heard this story before ?

He tested positive for MDMA not PEDs. I point it out because being so wrong on that one simple fact highlights the nonsense and factless narrative that is your post.

 

[Crown Royal]

To answer the thread, no, I'm not terribly concerned. The other DBs seem to be playing well and it's early.

You know it was molly right? hence the suspension reduction

 

[Doomsday101]

No I think Scandrick is a quality player, In training camp you will have good days and bad days main thing is getting yourself ready for the upcoming season.

 

[mattjames2010]

Scandrick has trouble covering a big outside WR? This is surprising, how? He's a nickel corner better equipped to cover slot receivers. I'm far more interested to see how he played against Beasley.

I've never really had a lot of faith in Scandrick.. Anytime he puts together a good string of games I just keep waiting for the floor to fall out from under him because it usually does. Last year he was stellar though.

With that said...


DB's are at a huge disadvantage in camp.

The WR's get too much space and the QB's have no pressure of getting hit.

So no, im not worried about Scandrick until I see him struggle in games.
