Pros:  Very big, very fluid athlete, looks the ball into his hands, gets up field quickly after the catch.  Quick enough to run drag patterns with quality top end speed to turn it up field.  

Cons:  Footwork is sloppy, route running is below sub-par, gets into his route slowly, and there's no indication of blocking ability.  

Way too slow off the snap to play DE.  And although he moves well, he seems be "top heavy," and would benefit from a year with NFL trainers working on his legs.  Quality person to have on the roster.  Now it's on him to see if he can outshine some other athletes.  Odd that he mentions he's not "that good with" his hands, because that scouting video says otherwise.

Swole bones got me. Can't fall for any of these other cats until it shows up on the field. And people, do yourself a favor and don't show ignorance by implying that this guy is going to replace someone on the roster. If he makes the practice squad, he should pop bottles.

Very true, especially as he's just missed the workouts for the TEs & WRs with Cam in Baltimore.   He won't have the chemistry with Cam that the others do.

This guy would be a project for the PS I'm thinking.

Gotta suck for Cobi Hamilton to be cut just two days before Camp.  One thing if we were making moves due to injuries, but to be replaced by a guy who's not ever even played college football.  Ouch.  But someone's got to be #90, and we're certainly not lacking for competition at WR.

I'd definitely be worried if I were Ed Dickson.  Not so much by Wallace, but there's very clearly a priority being established to upgrade / find new players at TE.

A few videos from his time at North Melbourne below. In his farewell video, at the bottom, he takes a terrific grab starting at 1.48 or so (that video is otherwise all interview). Seems like a good bloke.

      I’m gonna say it… I’m proud of Bryce.

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      We don't have to tear down Dak to appreciate what Bryce did yesterday. Dak had 0 running game. If the cowboys were better, he'd be a legit MVP candidate if he keeps playing this way.  They did it with Ceedee last year, but they do a better job of anybody we play consistently of getting their best receiver off Jaycee.  Bryce was good too. If we just catch the ball that was intercepted, we probably win by 7+, and Bryce goes over 200 yards passing.  Biggest shift the last few weeks has been play calling. I thought Canales abandoned the run game way to early at times last year. This year he really seems to be sticking with it.  I still think Chuba is better at making 4 yards when there's nothing there, but Rico is better at making 30 yards when there's 6 there. I like the direction. Hopefully we can get Moton, Sanders and Coker back and really be dangerous. Our play action game is pretty deadly right now.  Unrelated: My favorite quality about Bryce right now is his ability to see the defensive hold and throw the ball there. He EXPOSES the officials when they don't call it. That one on Tetaroia yesterday late in the game was a bad miss on their part.

      This is a game the Panthers should win... just the sort of game they lose. The Panthers have a bad habit that goes back years of playing down to the competition's level only to mess around and lose the game. The Jets game should be taken very seriously! But I want to enjoy the fact that they beat the Cowboys for at least another day or so!
