Twitter: UDFA WR Dennis Houston has gotten McCarthy's attention

[CowboyRoy]

Where did you hear that Houston was that fast ?

In fact his lack of top tier 40 time speed was supposedly the lead reason why he went undrafted.

Regardless my hope always is we get another under the radar Cedrick Wilson type in this undrafted rookie class.

if you look closer at that article (from Landry Hat) i think it was referring more to safety Markus Bell ,.. not Houston.

could be. 4.52 is still fast. Pull up a highlight tape on the kid and you see he is running away from people.

Right now all Houston can do is continue to show up at camp and make plays that come his way. It is a big jump going from small school as an UDFA to being in the lineup in the NFL. We will find out if the moment is too big for him or not, thus far he is doing what he needs to do and that is all that one can expect.

 

[Aven8]

who else do we have without Gallup and Washington?

Well you have 2nd year WR’s Simi, Vasher, etc.

 

[morasp]

Has a knack for getting open and is a quarterback's best friend - passers just need to toss the ball in his area and he'll come down with it.

I liked that one.

 

[glimmerman]

it'll be the opportunity for vasher...houston...and others to either make plays or cause the team to pursue other options at wr.
vanilla play calls yes.
but we'll get some answers on vasher and houston.

I think we have high hopes for these rookies..

 

[cowboyec]

I think we have high hopes for these rookies..

i think so as well.
which is why i'm really excited to watch these pre-season games to see if it's well founded or just bluster.

 

[glimmerman]

could be. 4.52 is still fast. Pull up a highlight tape on the kid and you see he is running away from people.

And give him a limited route tree to run.

I think they will be able to contribute right away. If we have a good run game and get Shultz in there we can get them in there we will be ok till Gallup comes back..

it sounds like tj vasher is making the most of it.
our run game is needed for sure.
if vasher plays up to the reports...i agree with you.
plus whatever we can get out of an outta nowhere guy like dennis houston.
if these young guys continue to impress...its intiguing as hell to watch it play out.
mccarthy wants balance...our run game MUST be on track.

 

[Bullflop]

The talents of our 2nd year WRs and UDFAs this year, should offer pleasant surprises, as the games get underway.
I feel confident that we've hit the jackpot -- it may not mean a SB, but good things do happen to good teams!

Yeah and practice is so hard to tell. And we won’t show much in preseason but we will see some contact and more of a football speed. We just get some consistency. I don’t even care if we ride the run for a few games and dink and dunk down the field till these WRs get there feet wet..

i'm most intrigued by wr dennis houston.
not familiar with him at all...very excited to watch him.
i'm a fan of rb rico dowdle...glad he's recovered and running well.
looking forward to this pre-season.

 

[muck4doo]

He looked good in that "practice" today.

 

[CowboyRoy]

And give him a limited route tree to run.

Why limited?

 

[gimmesix]

Ran a 4.52, not speedster but not slow

40 TIME: 4.52 SECONDS
HEIGHT: 6-2 WEIGHT: 205

One thing some fans don't often consider is a player who runs a 4.52 but is a crisp route runner generally creates more separation than a player who is just a 4.2/4.3 blazer. Randall Williams was the poster boy for that. Roy Williams claims he saw him run a 4.04.

 

[glimmerman]

Why limited?

Hey if he can run the full tree consistently and on the same page go for it.

 

[CowboyRoy]

We need these young guys. Better show em everthing.

Its the time, for the season, the new season to begin.
