Personal Narrative: Cole Beasley's Football Career

514 Words3 Pages

In PPR leagues, the wide receiver position is your biggest money maker. You want to roster a plethora of talent who can not only grab a ton of receptions but also see a lot of red zone targets. Tony Romo has a lot of really attractive options in Dallas with names such as Dez Bryant and Jason Witten, but one guy I’m really high on this season is Cole Beasley. I know at this point in the article you may be a bit skeptical, but I plan on changing your mind about this gem of a fantasy option. Looking to see his most time on the field yet, Beasley is a 5-foot-8, 174-pound slot receiver coming into his fourth year with the Cowboys. In each of his last three seasons, he has doubled his touchdown totals and gained more yards each year as well. Last season, Beasley caught 37 balls for 420 and four touchdowns, starting in just two …show more content…

The kid is so crafty on the field and can really shake off defenders. So, not only do you have touchdown opportunities on the offensive side of the ball, you also get some special teams action as well. If your league rewards players for touchdowns during punt and kick returns, then Beasley should be a guy you’re looking at to snatch up off of the waiver wire this year. I hate to compare players to one another, however, Beasley reminds me of a young Wes Welker. If you compare the two, they are a mirror of one another. I’m not saying he’ll ever be on Welker’s level of talent, but it’s not too crazy to think that Romo and him can’t be the next Brady and Welker type of combo in “Big D”. Beasley quickly became one of Romo’s favorite targets down the stretch run of last season and they should only build from that. Will he be anything more than a fifth wide receiver on your team? Maybe not, but he can be a key cog to your fantasy offense during bye weeks and favorable matchups. Just keep your eye on this young receiver in Dallas, it may pay off come fantasy playoff

    One of the staples in the Mile High and Gary Kubiak offense has been being able to produce at the running back position. It seems that no matter who you plug in, you get the results. From Terrell Davis to Mike Anderson, no matter when they were drafted or if they were even drafted at all, the Broncos have been able to put up numbers. Some pundits say it is the system, but I think it 's just a tradition when Gary Kubiak and the Broncos link up. It was that way when he was the offensive coordinator and it will continue this year in his second year with the team.

    It would best for the Lions organization to draft a defensive tackle to show up the middle of the defense. Louisville's DT Sheldon Rankins would be a good fit if the Lions get snag him in the draft. The 6'1 Rankins who weighs in at 299 pounds impressed at the combine with his 5.03 40-yard dash and a 34.5 vertical jump. The Lions have already shown interest in Rankins, he would fit nicely in their system. There are a few other holes such as wide receiver and cornerback perhaps, but filling the above positions will get the Detroit Lions over the hump and back into contention.

    The combination of the slant game and quick passing concepts has kept Manning upright behind a subpar offensive line. With DE Randy Gregory returning from an ankle injury, Cowboys DC Rod Marinelli will have all of his hounds ready to provide pressure up front. DE Greg Hardy and MLB Rolando McClain’s return on Oct. 11 from their four game suspensions against the Patriots immediately upgraded the Cowboys’ defense, particularly on getting pressure. Though Giants head coach Tom Coughlin will use some of his old school running between the tackles tactics with running back Rashad Jennings, New York’s backs (particularly Shane Vereen) are deadly options in the passing game. Marinelli would like to get all of his best pass rushers in at the same time, with Hardy, Demarcus Lawrence, Tyrone Crawford and Gregory in the nickel package to pressure Manning, but what I think is going to be extremely vital for the Cowboys’ defense to slow down a high-octane New York passing game is (playing tight man press and not allowing Manning’s receivers to get free releases off the

In 2014 he had 78 tackles which was more than his 2015 season only by 2 tackles and he also had 20.5 sacks which is a lot of sacks in just one season and also in just 2014 alone he got an interception that allof a sudden turned into an 80 yard touchdown which was probably one of the most amazing things in his season so far. He has only been in the NFL for 5 years and he has been rewarded with best defensive player of the year twice which is pretty amazing if you ask me. He also looked up to Reggie White who is another amazing defensive player and he was on the Green Bay

    In the off-season, the team made big improvements to the offensive line signing Nate Solder and Patrick Omameh. The team also added Running Back Jonathan Stewert to improve the running game. With Eli Manning getting older and  Sterling Shepard, and Odell Beckham Jr all coming off season-ending injuries, it makes sense for the team to at least take a look at Dez Bryant. With all three receivers at 100% and with the addition of Bryant, it would make the Giants wide receiving core hard to stop and it would give Manning yet another weapon to work with.

  • Bercovici's Influence On The Characteristics Of American Football

    Bercovici is a pretty interesting quarterback as some scouts say he is a small quarterback who has a hard time looking over his line and consistency is also big thing that he lacks. But there is a lot of upside to Bercovici than you know. Bercovici has a lot of arm strength, good foot work and has good zip on the ball. These traits are good for him but his consistency issues could lead to him being a project. I think there is a very well good chance he can be that #2 quarterback down the line post-Philip Rivers but it will all lead to how well he develops.
