I did play safety and hit like that. :)

Knocking the crap out of someone is the best feeling in the world.

Yeah, the Megatron game when he was a rookie made fans hate Heath but what did people expect with a rookie UDFA playing against the best WR in football?

And he was in position and almost made the play too.

I like Wilcox more so then Church. I just feel Wilcox is a SS trying to play FS. Also he was the only starter with an interception. I would allow Church, Wilcox and Frazier battle it out for starter and backup at SS....

I don't know why everyone says this. JJ is not a SS. Tackling is probably his biggest weakness.

Also Roland Milligan is a dark horse for SS.

I think he sticks one more year as a backup and ST player. Would be shocked if he is still here a year from now, but hey Mo is still around so anything is possible I guess

I don't expect him to be on the opening day roster. Time's up.

Swing and a miss.

Neither is pretending Dallas is a contender every year.

doubling down on hyperbole is even less compelling. I recognize parity but that is about as far as I will go. I don't think in terms of certainties anyway. I think in terms of probable outcomes. this season has the capability of plenty of wins or it could be another train wreck. I'm not going to front that any outcome is a certainty and you won't find me doomsaying very often.

Yea Wilcox can't cover and can't take the right angles. Heath has actually showed progressing. Heath ad a matter of fact has good measurables

Wilcox tackles really well in space when the play develops right in front of him. So I think that's why some of us remember those plays where he blows up a screen pass and think he's a good tackler in space. Until you see him have to try to take an angle some time and just blow it tragically.

No matter how you cut it, you have to know where the play is going to go and where the ball carrier is going to go if you're going to play either S position in this league. Wilcox deserved some slack because he was a position convert coming in, but he's just not able to process information quickly enough to do it at this level. He's a liability out there too often.
