The Wiz Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 If other players are constantly having to instruct him they aren't concentrating on what they need to do. And if it happens to be in a hurry up situation, he could slow everything down and that is a no no. If Rex is pointing out this issue then it is a serious issue. Coaches, at any level, are not prone to cut players who can help their teams win games. I guess it depends on how often he needs to be told what to do. If he's being told ever other play then it's a concern. If he's being told every 6-9 plays, it could just be him not knowing the playbook yet. Hard to tell at this point. He was key in the two minute that Jones ran so he must have either known the play or Jones told him quickly to get his ass open #OVERTHEMIDDLE.

3rdand12 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I think Powell has been the most consistent of the guys fighting for one of the wr positions. When I saw him at camp he definitely stood out more than the others. Good news to here from you ! Thanks again for your reports Did no one here see Die Hard? http://movie-sounds.org/quotes/diehard/Jesus-Christ-Powell.mp3 well one person did not. Thats for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Powell makes the roster because he can pass catch though. Lol'd to your reference, still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Re: playbook, remember he's been with the team since we put him on the practice squad last November. so has Salas and Lewis was drafted last year. Both have had the playbook as long if not longer. So either they are smarter and less athletical gifted or Powell is dumber and more athletically gifted. I do not want Goodwin returning EVER. I hope Powell makes the roster because he can pass catch though. Lol'd to your reference, still. I don't trust Goodwin to last either. I do what I can.

Manther Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Goodwin hit his head coming down with a catch. He's in protocol but I bet it's minor.Most of his injuries are minor. But, he usually doesn't play because of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumbalaya Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Powell -- who cares. he won't get two looks per game. May get 2 punt returns per game if Reggie gets hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Powell -- who cares. he won't get two looks per game. May get 2 punt returns per game if Reggie gets hurt. He could make Reggie expendable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May get 2 punt returns per game if Reggie gets hurt. Have to fill the roster out with someone who can play football. what's your WR cutdown?

Bigantall Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 (edited) I know woods suppose to be number two but why is he given the spot automatically, I understand Sammy but everything else should be opened. I haven't watch any training camp practice but I've looked at preseason games haven't seen much of woods Edited August 25, 2016 by Bigantall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, problem with that is he has been with the team since the end of last season. He should've known the playbook months ago. If he doesn't is he not putting the time in to study?

HuSeYiN_NYC Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Well we're not gonna know what Powell is really capable of til we have Tyrod throwing to him in the next preseason game. EJ can make any wide receiver look questionable. I like Powell alot and i like his route running especially the first few moves he makes as doon as the ball is hiked. He isn't a speedy guy but can get separation. I would say in quick release short to medium throws, he's a perfect fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your answer is preseason stats, you need to reassess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely agree, he is shifty can separate at the top of the route... http://www.cover1.net/2016/08/walter-powells-game/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
