Damien Wilson to start at SAM LB

[Nightman]

Wilson has replaced Kyle Wilber as the starter at Strong side OLB.......he will play mainly in the base D and be replaced by a DB when they go to Nickel which is over half the time......he has flashed some talent the last few games and if he can stick around it will solidify the LBer crew with another young player

Hasn't this been the case the last couple games?

What is your Preseason Analysis of Mr Wilson for starters, what are your expectations going fwd, and how does it play out?

 

[TheDude]

About time.

Kid has serious speed, he has missed a few angles in the past, but no more than others (not named sean lee)

 

[Vanilla2]

Been a couple weeks hasn't it?

I dont know if this is good or bad news. Ill pretend that its good and he is out performing wilbur

Lee is a good LB--not sure about the rest

 

[Vinnie2u]

Young guys are really stepping up. To bad we missed on Russell he could of helped the DLine.

I want Mark Nacho to start..His last name is too difficult to remember...so from now on he is nacho.

 

[Risen Star]

I don't care. You have Lee, the hope of Smith and the rest of the group are roster fillers. They're well nicknamed scrubs.

He only played 16 snaps the last couple games because we are in Nickel so much but I definitely noticed a couple nice plays

This is good news. Gives him half the season to prove wether or not he can be a starter in this league. If he can, it would sure change how I feel about drafting a LB early next year and how the Cowboys can approach FA/draft in the off season.

Mark Nzeocha, one of my pet cats from the 2015 draft. Had flashes of brilliance in the preseason before straining his Achilles. He's more or less recovered and is supposed to be brought in on some snaps in the next couple weeks.

I think he could be a quality starter soon - just gotta give him a chance.

 

[SportsGuru80]

I like this kid's upside, good move. He can play...

 

[TheCount]

I'm enjoying the fact that we haven't been shy about having guys earn starting spots. For a long time, starters remained starters by default of years played and/or contract.

Still bitter over his ****-up vs. the Saints in OT. Just be the Barry Church of SLB and do your job.

I thought that was Keith Smith?

That ****-up vs. the Saints got the Cowboys Elliott at pick #4.

I'll take it.

He's a fast dude. Hopefully he can just improve every game. Hoping atleast. He does have talent. Was my pet cat this offseason till he got shot in the eye.. moron lol
