Cowboys lose Mike Mickens

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 10:56:36 -0500

Tampa Bay has plucked cornerback Mike Mickens off the Cowboys' practice squad, bringing him up to its active roster. Mickens spent the first eight weeks on the practice squad for the Cowboys. A seventh-round pick out of Cincinnati, Mickens was looked at as a steal because of a knee injury that dropped his stock. He struggled some in training campo but he has some natural playmaking skills. With the Cowboys set at cornerback, Mickens opted to go to the Buccaneers, but I know the team gen...

Play of the Day: Mike Mickens makes another pick

Tue, 11 Aug 2009 17:52:24 -0500

Seventh-round Mike Mickens has had his share of tough moments during his rookie training camp. But he's also shown the ball skills that the Cowboys raved about after drafting him. Mickens' interception this afternoon was at least his third of camp. It's the second time that he has outfought a receiver for a ball they both got their hands on. Mickens had good coverage of Mike Jefferson on a stutter-go. Stephen McGee threw the ball anyway, putting his deep ball on the money. Micke...

The Green Bay Packers Select: Brandon Underwood (CB/S Cincinnati)

Sun, 26 Apr 2009 15:57:01 -0500

It's not the cornerback I wanted, but it is a player I'm happy to get. There are only two questions to his game. One, the jump ball question, he does not have the aggression to fight receivers when they try to go up and get it. Two, he is not the best of tacklers. But he really does have an ability to contribute at both safety or cornerback. He had to play Free Safety in college because he had DeAngelo Smith and Mike Mickens rocking out at corner. But he can play either position. He h...

Day 1 Draft Breakdown...Cornerbacks

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 23:39:16 -0500

In the defensive backfield. There's Malcolm Jenkins and everybody else at corner. The second corner off the board could be Sean Smith. It could be Darius Butler. There's depth. And a lot of it? The question is, just how quality is this depth?1. Malcolm Jenkins - Ohio St. (6'1" 201 4.51)He's a physical, attacking corner. He jams well on the line and he attacks like a safety on the blitz or in run support. And yes, his 40-time is not great. But look at the film. He stays wi...
