Daryl Worley, DB – Go

Heading into the season, I thought that the Dallas Cowboys had a collection of cornerbacks that were so multiple and could be used in a way to sort of confuse an offense and not let opposing teams key in on exactly what they were doing. I thought this would keep teams from getting off to fast starts and try and force them into making in-game adjustments.

I was not only wrong but I can see why Daryl Worley has been such a well-traveled cornerback in his young career. Worley has given up multiple touchdowns simply by abandoning any known technique and freelance at the worst possible time. Worley is a player that should not have a future with this ballclub.

I can see a scenario where a team that knows Worley will come in and swoop him up for a 7th round pick or give up a player that they no longer want. Sometimes a change of scenery could help some players.

I also can see a scenario where the Dallas Cowboys simply release Worley to make room for injured corner Chidobe Awuzie’s return. In both scenarios, Worley is no longer a Cowboy.

When he played man to man against Odell Beckham, he gave up an easy touchdown by allowing Beckham a free release at the goal line. He was beaten deep By Christian Kirk by not giving himself enough cushion to either break on the route or keep himself from trailing the defender.

Those are just two examples of the player not doing what he is taught which is on him and not the coaching staff. Being beat because the opponent is faster and stronger than you is one thing. Not doing what you’re taught is another. A defensive staff that already has enough issues certainly will not tolerate a player who cannot simply execute simple coverage.
