Slot

I dont want him to be a slot guy ONLY,this is not the best use of his skills.

"Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer said Malik Hooker and PJ Locke are co starters at safety opposite Jalen Thompson. It will depend on packages."

Unless they move him around..?

Doesn't Hooker get smoked alot? I'm supprised he is on the roster IMO

Im sure the BloggingTheBoys guys are going nuts over having three starting Safeties

Tom Ryles may even come out of retirement

When your other option is PJ Locke, you dont really have another option

I think Schotty is telling him he is on notice,didnt expect Locke to get much snaps tbh.

I don’t think anyone said he’s slot only.

He verbatim said it will depend on the packages and it’s like people missed it lol.

Schottenheimer is purposely not mentioning Downs there. No reason to tell the giants.

Busy being a bust.

This isn’t an only thing lol, he lined up everywhere in camp. We’ll have 5-6 db’s on the field a lot, Downs is as positionless back there as it gets.

Also, the slot in CP’s scheme does a lot, it’s one of the most important parts of his defense. Slots in this scheme have so much versatility, run and pass. I wouldn’t be concerned about him being underutilized.

As long as he passes the drug test I personally don't care if he does heroin.

They spent all summer trying to figure out what he can do and have apparently settled on 4th CB.

We moved up to 11 for a dime cornerback.

I don't even want to talk about it.

He's not.

He's a slot, safety, linebacker, rover....

He's Troy Polamalu basically.
