It's the first time we've had a complete WR since Moulds left. Enough of these smurfs and their sideline patterns (except Josh Reed who gets hurt). We need a complete WR who can run all the routes.

 

TO isn't a route running WR folks....

 

This also isn't a WR who will go hard over the middle. He is a WR, who knows how to use his size to his advantage against CB's, but he's still the biggest POS in the league, and now I have to root for this bastage....

Last year was his 12th year in the league. He is a very good athlete with a great combination of size, strength and speed. He is effective on all types of routes. He has quick feet to avoid jams with good strength and hand use to deal with physical jams. He has very good speed and strength in the route stem and does not get bumped off his route easily. He does a good job getting in and out of breaks for his size. He can sink his hips to create separation. He's a crafty veteran who knows how to use his hands to push off when defensive backs sit at the top of routes. He has good speed to get vertical and he does a good job of tracking the deep ball and making over the shoulder adjustments. Owens has good awareness for the down markers to convert and move the chains. He has confidence in his strength to make the tough catch versus tight coverage. He doesn't always work back to the ball, but has good timing with the quarterback to utilize the separation at the top of comebacks. He shows very good body control to adjust. He can make hand and body adjustments look easy. He does a very good job of getting his feet down inbounds along the sideline and at the back of the end zone. He has long arms to make the tough catch outside the frame showing good concentration and ability to pluck. He will have streaks where his concentration can be suspect, but he rebounds at some point to make big plays. After the catch, he can avoid using quickness or use his strength to shake off tackles. He has good speed to finish, if he catches the ball in space. He does a very good job in the red zone because of his size and ability to adjust quickly to coverage. He and Tony Romo have a good understanding of how the other is going to react to defenses

Yeah unfortunately last year he had a case of the dropsies so wasn't as good as he usually is. I love the guy as a player on the field but off the field and in the locker room is where I am concerned.

He's actually had dropsies issues for 2 seasons.

 

My point was the guy does run all the routes including crossing patterns. Een if he drops a few it keeps him covered and the #1 Wr we haven't had since Moulds left. if it leaves a safety locked down and gets Evans open over top more often then this is a good pickup. It will help Evans who shown he has some serious flaws in his game. It will also help Hardy maybe learn to play the position the way it is supposed to be. A lot depends on Edwards arm and whether he can get it there or not.
