Recap: Woodson: This is the best group of safeties I've seen with Cowboys

[tyke1doe]

Did he forget the great Jeff Heath, Matt Johnson and JJ Wilcox were on the same team at one point? Name a greater trio, I'll wait.

 

[TwentyOne]

Better than Brock Marion, Darren Woodson, James Washington, Thomas Everette?
Everett may not have been on the 93-94 team now that I think of it.
Very good group of safeties they just need Wright to step up at corner and the secondary will be very solid.

I think he was talking about after his own career.

Id take a young Roy Williams, Ken Hamlin and Woodson from 2002/03 any day over our trio right now.

Washington, Everett and Woodson were the best we had imo during our SB times.

No, they really are a good group.

Light on CBs and heavy on Safeties, we have a collection of good DBs overall.

 

[Typhus]

We've come a bit from the years of Jeff Heath being our elite #1 safety.

Dude had to play emergency CB in a game or two.

Which was the best safety group for the Woodson era ... ?

Woodson
Thomas Everett
James Washington

Woodson

Roy Williams

Woodson
George Teague

Woody and young #31… for just a little bit, we had a duo that put real fear in receivers.

For someone who never actually played, Matt Johnson's name was mentioned a hell of a lot on this forum back then lol.

Peeps complain about LVE.
So hypothetically if you had to choose between the two even different positions, bet that most would be voting for LVE over Johnson.

DW has major cred with me...he’s earned it
If he said it, take it to the bank

His stamp is a validation without question.

The Cowboys haven't had a collection of safeties this good since the 70's.

They had some very good ones back in those days.

If it wasn't for these safeties, Q would definitely be on the hot seat at this point.

Where is all the Barry Church love?

the 70's say hello

Man did have his chance.

If your free safety gets mentioned a lot your defense usually stinks.

Yes to a certain extent - but he is the over the top help - and I cant remember when he's made a play back there.

 

[quickccc]

Two reported almost Safety trades that i wondered what would have happened now if we made those trades ..

Earl Thomas and Jamal Adams .....

 

[Booger]

The Cowboys have had some really good safety combos. Not sure what you're trying to say.

Within the last 5-10 years? Who?

 

[buybuydandavis]

Wilson has 5 sacks.
Big deal for a S.

His sack success rate must be one of the highest in the league for players with significant sacks.

 

[Booger]

No, they really are a good group.

I meant within the last decade, up to now. Not much to holler about.

I realized my post was vague in reading your reply.

 

[Booger]

You're so cool bro

Seriously? That's all you got.."guru". Raise the bar bro. You obviously have a reputation to protect.

 

[Gonzomandela01]

IDK why Hook does not break some passes once in a while, he plays too far back I guess.

I would think he could cheat a little bit to the weak side since 7 is so damn good in man, but then maybe Q is afraid 7 is gonna cheat for some int's (as he usually does) and leaves Hook back there just in case.

Hope they can adjust and give more help to Nashon in the Poffs.
