There are people within the fanbase and in the front office who believe in Simi Fehoko’s talent, which has shown at times throughout camp and practices, but he needs to show it in game action sooner rather than later. Simply put, the Cowboys want Fehoko to step up in year three. As far as comfort and wiggle room goes, there isn’t much there for Fehoko. If Fehoko doesn’t win that spot, he may very well stick around as a fifth or sixth wide receiver option and be a special teams guy as a result, however there are some young rookies gunning for his job as well. The fourth wide receiver spot is wide open right now but there are quite possibly three or four guys vying for that one spot. That didn’t come to fruition and things do not look to be getting any easier for Fehoko heading in to 2023. With the state of the wide receiver room being a struggle, one would have thought Fehoko may be able to rise to the occasion and snag a consistent role in a room that was starving for talent to set up. In two seasons the fifth-round pick has seen action in just five games tallying a much maligned three receptions for 24 yards. Fehoko’s issues to this point have been purely on-field and the fact he hasn’t been able to stay healthy nor make an impact means time may be running out. Much like Kelvin Joseph with the defensive backs, Simi Fehoko finds himself in a situation where the Cowboys have added a veteran presence and young intriguing talent to the fold. WR Simi Fehoko Photo by Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images Training camp 2023 truly looks like it may be an ‘all or nothing’ situation for Kelvin Joseph and nobody on the roster has a hotter seat than his at this time. Joseph has solely focused on outside cornerback to this point in his career and with an influx of veteran talent and young promising prospects, it looks as if the Cowboys are grasping at straws to see how they may be able to keep him around. All reports out of minicamp indicate that he has been seen taking reps at both nickel cornerback and safety at times. That fact coupled with some on the field work that has been underwhelming, has led the team to explore Joseph’s options at another position in the secondary. Since Joseph’s arrival in Dallas we have seen other young players ascend and make the most of their chances with far less baggage. The second-round pick has had a bumpy ride with the organization that has included on and off the field turmoil and needs to show sizable improvement in camp to keep the star on his helmet.
There really is no other way to describe Kelvin Joseph’s situation than to say that ‘time is running out’. While the weather will be comfortable, the seat these three players are on, most certainly is not.ĭB Kelvin Joseph Photo by Sam Hodde/Getty Images
Guys fighting for their roster lives in the comfortable Oxnard sun. Credit to the front office as the team has drafted and acquired what should be one of the league’s most complete rosters, but as a result some players and some decisions are going to be tough to make.Įvery year we see camp battles. It’s a gift and a curse that the Dallas Cowboys face heading into training camp. When you have a talented roster you can find yourself having to make difficult roster decisions.
