True Lowber has loads of potential. Reportedly Lowber has run the 40 in 4.32 with a 41 1/2 vertical leap while being 6-3, 208. Before his knee injuries, he reportdely ran the 40 in 4.1. How true that is I dont know.
The knock on him is that he keeps reverting to his old ways and trying to do things his way or what he thinks and not letting things sink in what his coaches are telling him.
The play I am refering to is this, on the last series that Bartel threw an interception was due to the fact, that Todd lowber was running to the left, then he went back a few steps to the right, which resulted in an interception. Even Todd admitted that the interception was his fault, which shows Todd sometimes doenst get it, even when T O was trying to show him about running on a route, Lowber was making excuses for the depth route.
Dont get me wrong, I like Lowber, I even wrote him several messages through Hard Knocks on HBO website. Which I was encouraging him to keep studying, reading his bible, working with a QB after practice and a defensive back. For him to ask questions, and study and work.
I think he does have potential, and yesssssss, most likely Jeff Ireland & Parcells are looking at players to get from the Cowboys when they are released. Thats Parcells history, to get players that are cut or released from his previous teams.
I think what would help if say Jerry Jones asked Michael Irvin to come out and teach the WRS and TEs some more techniques. We know some of it helped because Hannah was one of the players that took some teaching methods from Irvin.
Coaches can only teach so much, but players can teach more since they played the game and know the old tricks, routes, etc.
I would like for the Cowboys to keep Lowber and not risk him on waivers like they did with Matt Moore, we all know how that turned out. Like Parcells did, when Coach Parcells had Hurd and Austin on the team and he called several general managers and coaches he knew, and they told him, dont put Hurd or Austin on waivers because he will be released.
So, the Cowboys do need to find a way to keep Lowber, Keon Lattimore and Hannah, those guys show potential. Its like Jimmy Johnson showed when he rebuilt the Dallas Cowboys in the early 90s,, which was with speed. You cant teach speed.
What I would recommend, is for Jerry Jones to ask Michael Irvin to coach Lowber a few more days, along with Sherman, then ask Irvin what he thinks about Lowber.
But Lowber has to study, do what the coaches tell him, spend extra time on the juggs machine that throws footballs, and spend another hour after practice with a QB, defensive back in route running and what an experienced cb will try to do to him. Like Rayfield Wright said in the early 70s, young Harvey Martin was on the team, and after practice Rayfield would work an extra hour with Martin, it helped all pro Wright and helped bring young Harvey Martin along.
