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

[CowboyRoy]

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.

40 yard dash really has nothing to do with top speed. Bigger guys get off the line slow and that lowers their overall 40. But their top speed may be faster.

Please don't bring hate into my thread.

You sir told me a long time ago, that you hated me.

He has feet to run good routes. Built like Dez. We will see if the hype is real in live action pre season. I ain't drinking no Kool Aid yet as we never heard of him until Washington got hurt and everyone was saying Jerry Dumbo GM Jones should have kept Pro Bowl WR Amari Cooper.

We need these young guys. Better show em everthing.

Am sure they are shown everything. But can they run it consistently. Any confusion and it’s trouble. It’s how they learn but rather it happen in practice and preseason. I don’t think Dak will play preseason. Why not a series or 2 in the last or 2nd game.

We need some young WRs to step up.

This team needs to discover some young WRs like Columbus discovering large shore lines.
Its a desperate situation, so desperate that talented players like Pollard that have been sitting around making Moores eye lid twitch, probably get taken a look at.
KM couldnt be any slower to the light.

Nothing is ever perfect buddy. You want them to make YOU feel better?

An out is an out. A cross is a cross.

So hilarious. One game these cry babies see one or two of these young guys catch some passes in a real game and they will be singing the homer praises.

Pollard does have decent receiver skills

Oh, he will be using those skills now.
Push KM into a corner and watch out what he can discover... lol

Diggs can't even cover a rookie undrafted free agent.

Especially with jugs machine No.4 inability to throw receivers open or read defense...

Eye Test Out!!!

Dennis has skills. I like him. That said, this was a 6 yard dig route then he fell down. Yes he caught it but we doing hype vids for THAT? Damn...

Thinking the same thing, routine route and catch.......lol

 

[Pass2Run]

At first, Houston was one of my least favorite candidates as UDFA. But I'm totally coming around on him. Hoping he lands on the team.

 

[Pass2Run]

How’s Wentz doing?

Not sure why people do this when someone likes a player that doesn't turn out.

Even the best evaluators are wrong, sometimes.

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.

He is that fast. I usually recommend googling the players name + 40 time.

Exactly
