Weird thing about X. Rhodes

[GRCowboy]

He looks like he got beat deep today just like Brown, Joseph, Wright, and every other scrub CB the Cowboys have put out there this year. I'd have to see more of him.

Mukuamu looked really good today, hopefully he can be like that corner from Seattle who made the pro bowl despite being way too tall to be a corner

Should have had over the top help. S was out of position.

Yeah either he wasn't supposed to be in man press or he thought a safety was going to be there and they weren't.

Hooker had a brain fart!

the amount of times that @Hostile has said this is unprecedented.

 

[darthseinfeld]

He was never listed at 5’-11”.

He measured 73.5” = 6’-1.5

No, you didn’t.

5'11 may have been an error

Mukuamu has looked pretty good when he has had the chance to play. Maybe he is the CB we've been looking for.

Main thing I think the coaching staff has been hesitant to put him in the game at corner more is that he's a 6'4" / 6'5" corner and Jeff Cavanaugh says that guys that tall can't play corner and that they should beef up a bit and play strong safety.

Off-topic. Please don't post details about your personal intimate encounters in the Fan Zone.

Honestly? WGAS, so long as he can play and cover effectively.

I remember he was listed at 5’11 on tv after the combine . He’s been listed at 6’1 his entire career since. How tall is he really? Deion was listed at 6’0 or 6’1, but thru showed his combine in tv a few years ago. He’s really 5’11 3/4.

Xavier Rhodes
6014 (6'1-1/2") officially (combine)
Freakishly Long Arms relative to height
33-3/4" arm length
40.5" vert
210 pounds at combine
218 pounds NFL listing

Wright is 6'4" too. Mukuamu looks like he is smother coming out of the breaks than Wright. If he gets it done, he gets it done. Wasn't Richard Sherman tall too?

Rhodes has always been known as a tall CB. This is a strange thread.

They moved Byron Jones to safety too, then moved him back to CB where he excelled as a cover corner. Mukuamu is 6'4" and 205 lbs. Not exactly beefy for a safety.
