agree....seems like a mediocre box safety. Pretty limited guy.

Even for a BOX Saftey he’s slow. Teams still pass on 1st down. He is slower than our top 3 LBs.
The only plus is that his ability to tackle is better than that of Heath. Hopefully, we draft a SS type who has better range. This could be a decent stopgap signing & I hope he’s good here, but I till don’t like it.

Barry Church slow. Those who hated Church are going to hate Illoka.
I don't mind the move to provide more depth and competition at the safety spots, but anyone who sees him as an upgrade to Heath must only be thinking about run defense.

Kavon is a special-teammer. He's not going anywhere because of this signing. Frazier wasn't competing to be a starter.

Sadly, this guy is about as low a signing as you could get. Worlds better than Heath, no doubt, but I dont see the Cowboys benching Heath for this guy.

Both of those are typically associated with corn.

"Kam Chancellor slow". Chancellor ran a 4.69 40, and Kris Richard made good use of him.
Just some food for thought.

I'm curious to see the numbers. Could be a quality depth signing, assuming we draft a safety next month.

An "upgrade over Heath" because you've never seen him miss a tackle or blow a coverage in a Cowboys uniform.
Third team in 3 seasons. Either he's Deion Sanders or nothing special. In his case, I'm betting it's the latter.

Look at the posture on him. How the hell does a spine like that not show up in a physical?

Ikoka doesn't have that mentality.

To me- I think Heath's football IQ is terrible esp in the run game. The Rams game showed that. He was the only one free to make the tackle and he was a no show. Could have been coaching but the good players play the game.

Why? Do you have an IQ test for the two?

No instincts for the position.
