Here's a picture from the Dorf on Defense clinic earlier this week.

And just for comparison a similar picture from Cards camp in 2008

That's awesome, Duck. Thanks.

I'm really not going to be able to say until I see him in play pants, though. You really can't see their trunk in those shorts.

And it's deeply unfair to compare Dansby and Washington. There is no comparison. Dansby has 20 lbs on Washington and was a physical freak when it came to size/speed, which is why Parcells was willing to (maybe) overpay for Dansby.

Look at the other Washington, #96 in the first picture. I thought it was Gabe Watson for a second!

Yup. Big boy. If he can move maybe we're overly worried about the SILB position.

Are they transitioning Mark Washington to the inside?

He is currently listed as a OLB (6-3 - 258)

The other Washington, I like that. He certainly has some tree trunks for arms.

No, you're right. Who was I thinking of? Reggie Walker.

I think we'll start to see the NFL look even more for quicker guys to play the WILB spot to counter the speedier TE's as referenced in this article:


http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/15/sports/football/15tightends.html

We all know that TEs killed us last season. Even the slower ones.

Clark 7-62-1
Daniels 8-94
Olsen 5-71-3
Davis 8-74-1 (2 games)
Lewis 3-62-1
Scaife 5-68
Finley 11-193-1 (2 games)
Shockey 3-36-1 (on one leg)

Even Shiancoe who only had 2 catches for 14 yards had a TD vs Arizona.

I really don't know if it is abnormal but 9 TD catches by Tight Ends in 11 games seems like a lot.

About 6 of those were officially or unofficially on Wilson though. Rhodes should be a much better matchup for us against safeties than Rolle/Wilson.

I'm guessing you mean tight ends, but why do you assume this?

I've watched all of TCU's games the last 2 years living here in Dallas. Daryl has a thin lower frame for an ILB & for that reason is nearly always blown up when plays are run at him. As I said before the draft, he reminds me of Ray Thompson with a few more skills. I was wary of his selection from day 1 & will remain that way until he proves me otherwise.
