Who is the Number 2 Receiver?

[Pass2Run]

Some say it's Brown.

Some say it's Houston.

Some say it's Fehoko.

Some say it's Tolbert.

It can only be one.

The coaching staff hasn't named anyone the surefire number 2, but I think it's a pretty safe bet that Turpin will be our primary slot guy. Definitely a better prospect than little guys we've had in the past, like Cole Beasley. But I guess you could choose him as a candidate for your #2 WR even though most view the slot as your #3 guy. But that's obvious.

Who plays opposite of Lamb?

Lamb is such a beast, I think any of those can be the Dak-friendly type of player we need. But I think the scariest one to defend would be Fehoko.

As good of a camp as he's had, Houston may be on the chopping block because of the numbers crunch.

I have no idea who the guy will be. If it's Brown, Fehoko or Tolbert, but I suspect Fehoko or Tolbert, with Fehoko having a slight edge on starting.

What's your guess?

Why do receivers need numbers?

At the risk of being called "obtuse" again, the fact is things like #1 and #2 receiver were terms that didn't even exist for decades. I know because I lived it.

A team has wide receivers. They're either good enough or not. Artificial numbering means nothing. Results will answer the questions.

Planet earth is obsessed with lists and ranks for everything but yeah, you re correct, who cares. Anyway, stop being so obtuse.

I'm sorry, but I guess "obtuse" is my calling. I dare to ask questions when people just toss out opinions as though everyone thinks as they do. My apologies.

I would love Turpin to be our slot guy but there is a zero percent chance he will be in the WR rotation at the start of the season

As fun as he is to watch, Turpin isn't built for a lot of NFL hits. He'll get destroyed at some point, if used too much.

He's a great kick/punt returner, and can be mixed in occasionally on offense. A full time role will only end one way.

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

What can Brown do for you...well he can hold down that second WR position until Gallup comes back.

Dalton Shultz

I get it and kinda agree, what do the numbers correspond to? Is it by number of targets, what people consider the best by ranking them?
I prefer the old fashioned way, who are the starting X, Y and Z position WRs?

 

[plasticman]

I would say that it is the receiver with the second most yards at the end of the season. In my opinion, that will end up being Gallup. Of course, I can't be certain.

\Who was the #2 receiver last season?

In each game the matchups decide who gets the ball. I don't mean this DB or that WR. It depends on where there seems to be the most opportunity. Very often the so-called #1 WR isn't the one with the most yardage.

In the first four games last season there were two of them where Dalton Schultz had more receptions than CeeDee and Amari combined.

It really doesn't matter but if you are talking about percentage of plays at the beginning of the season then I'm going to say Noah Brown. This is because I believe the Cowboys will run a lot and Brown is an excellent blocker.

With all the complex offensive packages they run these days, it could be that these designations of #1 and #2 WR are almost meaningless.

Forget the 7-year experiment Brown. Fehoko shows promise but is still not ready for prime time.
Shake thing up and bring in Vasher.
Yes Vasher, chaps.
It's not as if Lamb, Schultze and Turpin won't get most of the touches, but Vasher brings in speed, quickness and great hands.

Just the fact that he’s not padded up in pre-season games indicates it’s Brown. It’s looked that way in training camp as well. There is the caveat though that Fehoko and Tolbert need reps while Brown doesn’t.

 

[Buzzbait]

Don't know about number 2, but I like Fehoko. He's young, but promising.

 

[noshame]

That question will answer itself. I feel we have some cream and we should spread the ball around and sèe who rises

 

[Ranched]

Being Tolbert is the #3, no doubt he's the #2 until Gallup returns.

Planet earth is obsessed with lists and ranks for everything but yeah, you re correct, who cares. Anyway, stop being so obtuse.

You first!

 

[DogFace]

If Turpin is our slot guy it’ll be a coaching miracle that is be very happy with based solely on the speed that we haven’t had in a looong time. He could turn out to not be that guy, but I’d love to see him get a chance to be.

I’d guess the coaches stay more conventional or whatever they call it. Garrett would’ve so I’m likely still scarred from that debacle.

I personally think you are more equal lateral than obtuse though anyone that calls you obtuse is probably acute or has something acute they are compensating for, just trying to triangulate what they are thinking.


….math jokes aside, this team is going to have to deploy as many weapons in as many configurations as possible early on.

 

[JoeKing]

Our #2 WR is Michael Gallup and then James Washington but until these two get healthy it's Noah Brown and then Jalen Tolbert, then Turpin. If we have room for one more it should be Dennis Houston. I'm sorry Fehoko and Vasher, we don't have room for you on the 53-man roster.

Because unless you label the wr x y z, you use numbers to determine the order/amount of playing time.

Vasher is slow, runs sluggish routes, and is only good for the occasional red zone jump ball.
Not sure you you've watched him if you think he brings speed.
