Watkins Saturday practice notes

[rambo2]

Need some chap stick for your kiss up lips?

Saying a 206 pound defensive back is small is just dumb. His measurements were taken at the combine and saying they aren't legit is stupid.

 

[ChuckA1]

hey is this sarcasm, or are you actually laughing

I'm laughing at my comment on your comment.

 

[Corso]

He doesn't look that size at all.

I guess when you're next to a dude who's 5-6 inches taller and 40-50 pounds heavier, you're going to not look like a macho man in comparison.

 

[America's Cowboy]

and that is supposed to mean something?

It means he is liable to get hurt by bigger incoming Olinemen, or he might get overpowered by bigger receivers. Hope it doesn't lead to injuries.

Look ar him! He looks small compared to his teammates around him. Quit kissing up so much.

Very true, but in reality, he does not look like he is 6 foot tall or weighs 200+ pounds. He looks smaller.

I get that totally.
You think his combine #'s are fibbed?

He is 206 pounds. Do you not believe it? When you stand next to a 265 pound tight end you look small. Do you not understand?

He looks small standing next to his fellow DBs, and they are supposedly around the same height and weight. Which means his height and weight numbers might be off intentionally. Understand?

Check out what I said to Rambo up above. ^^^

They don't lie at the combine.

 

[Rockport]

Old school

They finally wised up.

 

[Rockport]

Brevyn is a giant though but Downs is a smaller safety not Buddha small
But inches taller.

He’s 6’0 210lbs. Dude’s solid.

 

[Rockport]

Cowboy fans are so funny to me. Caleb is the first 6 foot 200 lb safety in nfl history apparently

You’ve been here long enough to know that there’s a group here that will crap on anyone associated with the Cowboys. Religiously.

 

[Rockport]

Very small. I said the same thing right after we drafted him. I worry for Caleb Downs.

He’s 6’0 210 lbs. He ain’t very small. He’s also playing the slot.

 

[Rockport]

The truth is he is a bit of a midget.

But he doesn't have to play like one.

You guys have no clue what you’re talking about. Midget.

 

[xwalker]

The next big play he makes will be his second.

A lot of hype around BSF

He crushes defenders as a blocker.

He doesn't have to be a wow receiver in order to get a lot of playing time.
- If he can just consistently catch the easy dump-off passes, then he could be the #2 TE.

 

[MapleLeaf]

He is 6 feet tall and is 206 lbs.

I sitll kinda think that is small IMO.

But against my understanding of the league average since the advent of the passing age in NFL he is right on size.

If we look at the progression of the opposing players who enter into the zone of play for safeties:

1. RBs are looking more like our HOF RB Smith who was compact with a low center of gravity.

2. TEs are big, with ridiculously long arms and a bit heavier mass to represent the "flex" coaches want in having both as an in-line blocker and option receiver.

So looking at Downs in alot of the replay videos posted lately he looks small to me, but that doesn't mean I believe he will play small.

I am going to tune into more of the TC videos to get a feel for how he stacks up physically against our best receivers, Lamb and Pickens and also the TEs and RBs.

I also believe that people carry their weight differently on their bodies that may affect how we view them in a physical eyetest.

If there was a positive in the video. It's that Downs got into the mix and more importantly tried to get under the skin of Spann-Ford.

I am hoping this is a hint of what is to come from Parker, the defensive coaches and the new culture of this defence.

He is the number 2.

Combine numbers are legit. They are not off, period.
