Hello Zoners:
I am really tired from a great day at training camp.
My Observations:
-- I do not understand why practice is advertised to start at x-time and players keep showing up as they please.....it takes approx 10 extra min for them all to show up.
--94 Ware, DeMarcus is a STUD.....I do not know anything else to say. He dominates whoever is in front of him and I get the feeling sometimes that he is SuperMan and can get to the qb anytime he wants to......pay him what ever and we will justify it in the Zone.
--82 Witten, Jason is a great TE, however, has he lost focus? Yes, it is training camp but he literally has 3 illegal procedure penalities in two day....more then the Hotel....what is up with that Jason?
--58 Williams, Jason is going to be a factor on ST and maybe the Nickel. He is quick.......on one play he did not go for the play action......picked up Choice out of the backfield and easy knocked down the ball and seemed to be faster out of the break then the rb who knew the play......nice job Rook!
--Chad Peters is a great guy and I got to speak with him briefly this morning. I predict this young man will be an Awesome reporter one day and I hope it is Mickey Spags replacement with the Cowboys! A fine young man and sports reporter.
--25 Watkins, Pat experiment is done imho......you can clearly see he is feeling the heat of our rookie class.....in drills he constantly bobbles the ball while the rookies are faster/smoother/and catch the ball clean.
--93 Spencer, Anthony might be a very good pash rush, however, this player excells in the run defense......man, he pushed Columbo back and killed the rb on 7-7 drills.....it was AWESOME.
--9 Romo, Tony AMAZES me watching his coolness, foot movement in the pocket, composure under pressure.....but, most of all his QUICK release.....wow....I could watch moxie play all day Zoners! BTW anyone who believe his arm strength is a little weak......he easily flicked one 58 yrds on the run against his body.....put it to rest.....ROMO has a very good NFL arm--period.
--90 Ratliff, Jay deserves more credit on the DL then he gets.......we would be hurting without his strength, hustle and leadership.......ask Gurode who got blew up by Rat on a inside drill this morning.
--99 Olshansky, Igor has disappointed me but it is early.....I have isolated on the player as I was excited about the signing.......nothing good or bad to report.....just waiting to see something Zoners.....he does look strong
--DISCUSSION
I am officially worried about our WR's......after today, I hate to report that I am officially giving up on the 86 Stanback, Isaiah WR experienment......he dropped a bomp in stride from ROMO.....I did not have a great angle.....so at worse it might have been just a little under thrown.....but, you could tell by Coach Wade's reaction.....he should of caught it for a TD.
After 3 practices, here is my opinion/ratings of the WR group.
1. 19 Austin, Miles -- has made the easy, difficult and all catches thrown his way. By far has the best speed/size/combination of all of our WR's. If we are going to put any pressure on the opposing teams CBs then this is our guy Zoners.......start pulling for him now.
2. 17 Hurd, Sam has really shot up the WR scale with todays fine performance.......seems better then average speed......tough catches in the middle of the field......no drops.....just consistant
3. 84 Crayton, Patrick just keeps making plays with his quickness in the slot.......I believe he will excel as the #3 WR.
4. 11 Williams, Roy or 4 RW (it does not matter which number he wears) is hard for me to figure out.....I really want to justify that #1 etc....draft picks we gave up for this guy and I pray it pans out Zoners....but, the facts are he has done little in 3 practice sessions.......he does make some of the difficult catches, however, if the play does not work just right....he lets up on the play....I hate that! I will try and keep an open and positive mind about this guy as after all he will be our #1 WR but right now he is not the #1 in camp........that goes to Austin
Ok, Zoners what is you honest opinion about our WR situation? Will we be ok because of our RB's and AWESOME TE's? Or, should we look at Matt Jones or some other options?
Suggestions are welcomed because I am concerned.
Thanks
