What does Lucky Whitehead bring to the football team?

[DavidS]

He sucks. Much like that waste of space Clutts who is a horrible in-line fullback.

We've made some poor poor active roster decisions this year.

I don't follow. Randy was first recruited and signed with Note Dame. He then transferred to Florida State. Nothing small about Louis Holtz and Bobby Bowden.

Moss spent a year at Florida State as a redshirt freshman then transferred to Marshall University. I don't think he ever played a snap for Florida State.

Considering how active this team has been in churning the roster this year, I think it's fairly obvious that the Cowboys staff feels Lucky has enough talent to stick with until he develops enough to advance to a bigger role.

Coming from Dallas Dean College isn't exactly an outfit that affords him an easy intro into the NFL without his being afforded the benefit of a reasonable measure of development.

Once they feel his time is at hand, we can be sure they'll make the decision to either use him or send him packing. They've already invested some time and expense in developing him up to this point. No need to cut him prematurely only to see that investment wasted. Give the guy a chance.

Replace Whitehead with AJ Jenkins and McFadden with Mostert or Pead. Improves team speed, size and playmaking. I think 5 games is enough time to close the book on these two.

Whitehead and DMC play too soft.

I don't even think Lucky is really that lucky !!!!

Half the board keeps banging on the guy yet he hasn't had many opportunities yet so I gotta ask, what did he do so wrong that warrants all this animosity?

He's a rookie, that means there will be a few growing pains. I see potential for a home run if you can get the ball to him in space, more so than one of the possession receivers that we have. A lot of our guys just catch the ball and then go down, we need a few that can take it to the house and Lucky appears to have that "potential."

Inconclusive, needs more reps...

He should be on PS, not ready for primetime. Kid is very small and plays small. Can not be trusted to hold on to ball when tackled, does not separate well and still needs to strengthen his hands as he has trouble fielding in traffic.

Fair enough but who do we have at the moment behind him?

Good question ??? Also I'm still waiting on those donuts from Lucky !!!

 

[Richmond Cowboy]

So you've determined that he is worthless as a returner after his 1 career punt return and 1 career kick-off return?

As a WR you've determined that he is worthless based on 2 targets with Weed as the QB?

Yes. Call me judgemental. But yes.

No animosity, just ranting. I can see your point.

 

[KJJ]

Can't recall seeing more threads about a player who's done nothing like we have with Whitehead. When he finally makes a play I'll have more to say about him.

Reminds me of the Ammendiola days around here, we all saw how that turned out...

Now that is a point !!!

Reminds me more of the Dwayne Harris days but at least he made some plays to warrant all the talk about him.

 

[Spectre]

s strange name

 

[DoomsDayD]

He may be a fine young man but what exactly does he bring to this football team? Is there nobody on anyone else's practice squad or a FA that could actually be more valuable than Lucky? Perhaps I have missed his value on special teams coverage units but as a receiver or return man he is virtually worthless. There has to be another football player on earth that can contribute more to this team no?

He gives me a rash.

 

[xwalker]

Yes. Call me judgemental. But yes.

Judgmental would be a compliment compared to the word I have in mind.

At this point in Harris first year he had done nothing either
Harris only played 7 games his rookie year and only return 8 kick offs his rookie year, and he didn't have any catches
Seems to me they are bringing lucky along just like they did Harris

Which is why he reminds me of Harris. FANS saw a lot of potential with Harris just like they do with Whitehead
