We may already have our deep speed threats already on our roster

[Stash]

Part of the reasons CBs we’re often sitting on our curl routes…0 respect for getting beat deep.

Hyatt is raw but someone like him would do wonders for our offense.

He’s a bit of a one-trick pony at this point. But that one trick is pretty good. And something this offense is sorely lacking.

 

[Cowboyny]

Washington was a 4.54 receiver. If they we’re counting on him to be their deep threat, they’re dumber than we thought.


They’re all 4.5 guys, Gallup included. And that was before the injury.

They tried to acquire Cooks and OBJ before they settled on Hilton, all of them a much faster players.

I here a lot of discussion that the Cowboys need to add an elite speed receiver who can stretch the field. Don't forget about these 2 on are already on our roster:

-Semi Fehoko and Turpin both possess elite 4.3 speed.

Unfortunately, Semi got hurt early on and we never got a chance to see him play meaningful snaps. I remember the coaches saying he had a real good camp. People tend to forget he ran a 4.37 at the combing being 6'2.

Turpin is quite like the receivers we are seeing in this year's class, undersized both height/weight. Moore only used him on the jet sweep, but it doesn't mean MM won't find a role for him within the offense. Turpin has stated his goal this year to to prove he can also play receiver.

If Gallup can return to his former self, a year after surgery, he can also provide the team with another deep threat option.

I only see Pro Day for Fehoko which was 4.44 forty.

If you study college game footage of all players on the Cowboys off-season roster, you would likely conclude that Antonio Callaway is the fastest of the bunch.

So they did notice exactly what I’m talking about?

Interesting.

Meh

We just do not know who these new scheme is going to look like. MM never really had that type of receiver in GB, but he wasn't picking the players.

Yes, Callaway is another. My point for this discussion, you can always find speed guys, but what separates the best is their ability to consistently get separation and get open. Think burst/quickness and route runner is the most important.

We may already have our deep speed threats already on our roster​

In other words...

we like our guys...

 

[Vinnie2u]

Fehoko is the slowest fast guy I have ever seen...

I don't see Turpin in the mix as a WR, but there will be lots of talk of it.

I think Fehoko or Tolbert could both turn it on this year.

 

[WhizKid]

You can be a deep threat and run in the 4.5s. Having elite speed absolutely helps in this department; however, how many of the uber fast speed guys end up having storied exceptional WR careers? A lot of them become one trick ponies who contribute occasionally and probably provide some help at KR/PR. What you want is a WR who can get clean releases, and can stack a cornerback. That, I would say is the most important aspect of getting deep. This is how Gallup was doing it before injury.

 

[Cowboyny]

Why not use Turpin in certain packages where you can get him into space. Yes, he is rail thin, but so are others.

 

[Cowboyny]

So this means what exactly?

We don't know what type of receiver they will be targeting. Cowboys have a distinct prototype at the position, with changing schemes do that allow them more flexibility?

but are they good WRs? probably not. just because they have deep speed doesn't make them a threat. otherwise every team would just raid the olympic 100m dash team and you would be set.

neither impresses me. one only weighs around 150 lbs, wet.

Check out Callaway's game footage. Both NFL and college. He's the 2nd most talented WR on the roster and maybe a better punt returner than Turpin. He is faster on the field than his 4.41 forty...

Obviously his character has been a huge problem in both the NFL and college but some young people do "grow up" at some point.

And my issue remains with that ‘prototype’. They’re all the same guys. I much prefer a diverse group of types and skill sets.

I’d like to see speed and change of direction added.

No, I remember his scouting reports stating he was Antonio Brown on and off the field. He is a legitimate talent. Probably his last chance, so maybe he steps up here.

 

[Proof]

I disagree completely. This team has failed to prioritize speed for decades now and it’s hurt them time and time again.

The idea that Fehoko and Turpin can suddenly provide that is as bad as the thinking that’s kept us here for years.

suddenly provide is odd phrasing. they have the speed. so they can provide it. whether they're good enough for it to warrant doing is another story

Turpin’s not a receiver. Should have been clear in preseason his route running ability is basic. Fehoko’s official 40 time ended up being a 4.52. Hard to believe there’s still people who believe the early erroneous reports of 4.37 when it should have been apparent they were nonsense from the beginning!
