After the draft, BW Webb was my pet cat. Lots of qualities that seemed would translate well. But after the Oakland game, Webb just seemed on his way to the practice squad and a waste of a pick. Looked like a quicker version of Alan Ball. So I switched my pet cat to Jakar Hamilton.

Brian Broaddas wrote this Webb today:


"There is always going to be a rookie player that struggles with the adjustments from college ball to NFL training camp but you know deep down inside, that one day, those struggles will be a thing of the past. B.W. Webb is that player for me. There is not much that is being said or written in this camp about the way that he is playing from folks but trust me, I have been in those meeting rooms before, Webb has talent and there are times where he is doing his job the right way. If you honestly studied him down after down in a practice, he is not struggling as bad as everyone thinks he is. What Webb is going through now is common for the majority of rookie corners playing in this league.

Even the great Patrick Peterson had his moments in Arizona where he gave up big play after big play. I am not trying to make excuses for Webb but also think about what he is trying to do in this camp by learning an outside position but playing the nickel or slot corner as well which is no easy task. I did see a rep during practice on Tuesday where he carried this club's best receiver down the field on a vertical "9" route running stride for stride with him and covering him so well that Romo didn't even attempt the throw the ball. Has Webb had his struggles? Yes, he has but to make the suggestion that he shouldn't be on this team is completely out of line. He is a talented football player and one day, he will show everyone that."


So just to update all of us...how has your pet cat done in preseason and chances of making and contributing this year?

I didn't get a boner for anyone but I was very happy with Frederick after the initial shock wore off. It doesn't look like any excuses need to be made for him. Looks like a seasoned vet so far. Exactly what we needed

I don’t care for the term pet cat because i hate cats. We have this stray kitten and she is mean as fuck. It’s like i am giving you food and shelter, just show me some love.

One of mine was Frederick. Another was Larry Warford. Dallas didn't understand that their guards suck and passed on him. Him and Fred side by side would have been one hell of an interior.

By all reports, Devonte Hollowway is doing well. But I'm not expecting much from him this year. I wouldn't be suprised if he was a starter in 2015.

Gavin Escobar is doing great from what I hear. Rumor is he's upped his bench press from 165 to 180.

Jonathan Cooper is killing it.

Gio Bernard looks really good so far as well.

Honey Badger is fighting for a starting job.

USC guys haven't done much yet.

Warford isn't a skill position player. Jerry the idiot must waste high picks on skill players every year...
He would indeed be a monster next to Frederick

Heard a Bengals beat writer say that the team would probably release Taylor Mays.

Worth a look?

Also, I thought the pet cat was supposed to be one of our draft picks or UDFA.

If it's who we were amped for leading up to the draft, most reports are Minnesota coaches think Justin Hunter is soft.

Interesting. What do the Titans coaches think?

I've always believed it was the guy you were pimping all through the draft process.

Bingo. Frederick is the only pet cat of mine that Dallas has ever drafted. Mine are always olinemen. I know enough about the positions that I don't miss on very many. Tyron was not one of my pet cats by the way.
