RECAP....Finally...
Romo plan at QB, he is having one of the best off seasons in past 2 or 3 years, healthy. Both back ups will be better, know the system. Liked Vaughan enough as not to expose him on the PS. Something they normally would have done with the 3rd QB. Vaughan was a pre med stusent, and is like a sponge, learnig everything he can.
RB comments were mentioned above. But also said when he need to include Williams in the mix, and will see more use of all 3 backs more so than last year.
Malcom Brown and Byron Jones. Brown will be a good player for NE, as he fits their scheme. He doesn't fit in Rod's system as well. Not an ideal fit. Like jones versatility, he is a football player, not just an athlete. Depending on Mo's recovery, he will start at CB. If Mo plays well, he can slide over to FS as he has the range a true FS needs, more so than Church and Wilcox. Which are better at playing in the box and hitting people.
Return guys. The group of FA WR's they brought in reminds them of Hurd and Austin when they came in. Goodley, and they really liked Farmer. Whitehead has great 4.3 speed. Later on he was asked again. Said Beasley can return punts, as he is considered a safe catch return guy. For bog plays if one is needed, Dez can still be in the mix. Dunbar will be given a chance to return KO's, as well as McFadden is a possibility, as he did in college.
At one time he addressed about the WR's, and the drsft plan, it was same as RB's. They had some on their board, but as tey were selected, or as they got to their drsaft pick, there was a player that had better value at the time.
I took this they had a RB on the board, but when Gregory was there, they could not pass on him.
DT's. Like their depth. Coaches like T. McClain, and will see progress. DLaw can move inside at times. Russell can also move inside and will see what he can do as he has the frame to add weight to do that. Was asked or mentioned Hayden and Whaley, but got distracted for a minute and didn't catch his comments, if any were made.
Gregory. Thuoght process about drafting him was the question. Team watched him for a while, had confidence in helping him with any shortcomings.
Collins. A lot happening and unfortunate, but all clubs, it was something all teams watched and kept an eye on. From their findings, he will be fine, and it is a terrible situation for him
But they will keep a look and will be a fine player for a team wen that times comes.
I got the feeling he wouldn't or couldn't comment on it much.McFadden. Thinks he will be fine, his injuries similar with Murray's, he finally had a 16 game healthy season last year.
FA vs. Comp picks, is that taken into consideration. Yes, they look at that very much. As to players lost, who they signed, or can or can't sign. That FA would need to be worth one of those drsft picks they would lose if signed. Expects as of now they will get 3 or 4 comp picks.
Playoffs, 12 or 14 teams. Said it will eventually happen, not only from the revenue point, but also the excitement and boost to that city making h playoffs. Been looked at from all angles, and they don't feel it will dilute the playoffs.
Offense vs. Defense. Last year started the Defense progress with DLaw and FA's, and this year continued with Hardy and the draft.
in which earlier Wilson was asked about. Comparing when drafting Hitcins. He said, Hitchins was a bit unknown and off the radar of many teams. They feel the same about Wilson this year.
on a note, when I type DLaw, Stephen actually said Demarcus Lawrence....
Hardy. Knew there would be a suspension, but not how long of course. Which was why the contract was structured the way it was.
Dez contract. There is not a tam that wants him more as part of their team than we do. Wsh he could say there is progress to report, but there are several WR's in the same situation, and several more after this year. Got interrupted, so not sure what was said after that.
There were a few other things talked about too, but didn't get all of it, but wasn't player related. If it was I missed it, but it was toward the end, about the last 5 minutes or so.
