Do the Cowboys have a rising star at Safety?

[Zekeats]

I think Bell is being groomed to replace Kearse in his role in 2024.

Might be sooner.

 

[Vegas_Cowboy]

Rising star? I was under the impression that you had to be a star first before being considered a rising star.

 

[Mr_437]

Coyle and no Wilson?

Logjam...see Wilson as a trade target.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Two actually.

I would like to change my response to TWO FOR REAL!!!

 

[stilltheguru]

It took a game like this for yall to realize lol. Stop believing in media hype

 

[BigBlacKahuna]

He had a pick in the game.

 

[Manster_Mash]

He's a rising star, yet there is a question he makes the roster??

Lol. Ok.

I dont think there's any question after last night.

Go heavy at S and cut Wright.

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

Very good question. The starters at both Safety positions are Jayron Kearse and Malik Hooker. Then you've got Donovan Wilson, Israel Mukuamu, Marquese Bell, Juanyeh Thomas and Tyler Coyle. That's a total of 7 Safeties. It will probably come down to whether the Cowboys keep 4, 5 or 6 Safeties?

I believe the Cowboys will keep 5 Safeties: Kearse, Hooker, Wilson, Mukuamu and Bell.

Mukuamu could replace C.J. Goodwin as a special teamer. But one thing is for sure, this guy is making a 53.

After last night's performance, where are all of the doubters this morning?

 

[Jarntt]

Bell seems to be a favorite of coaches, media and fans.

Is there room for both?

I don’t see both making the 53 without injury to someone above them. Probably whichever guy is better on STs makes it and the other goes to the PS but with some injury prone guys ahead of them, they may both get some snaps this year. I suspect the Only chance for both to make it is if they both are not good, but great on STs

2nd year Safety, Israel Mukuamu (6'4", 220 lbs, 4.46 40 time), shined during dual practices this week between the Cowboys and Chargers.



Mukuamu makes INT on Herbert pass during 1-on-1 drills.

If Mukuamu keeps shining, does he make the 53 player roster?

Liked what my eyes viewed yesterday with this kid.....who knows maybe it's our turn to get lucky here!!!

He looks like he belongs....He’s on my 53.

 

[conner01]

I hope so, but I have to say I think safety is in much better shape than it has been in a while

Been what fans have screamed for a long time

 

[conner01]

As a more natural CB imo, I've always thought Mukuamu would be best used as a TE stopper a la Byron Jones early in his career. I still like Mukuamu as a CB prospect too, moreso, than Saftey but I trust DQ and crew know what their doing.
My Safety lineup:

SS Kearse
FS Hooker
SS Bell
FS Coyle

I see Mukuamu as a hybrid CB/S, and Ole Dono getting traded as he's in the last year of his contract.

I don’t think he has the speed or quickness to be a good CB and that’s why he fell to the 6Th round

Bell seems to be a favorite of coaches, media and fans.

Mukuamu is more hybrid S/Big corner, while Bell is more SS/Nickel LB (like Kearse).

Unless injury, both making 53.

 

[BAT]

And Mukuamu is in line to replace Hooker . Hoping Kearse stays beyond this year . And everyone’s favorite Donovan Wilson has a hard time staying healthy with the number of violent collisions he’s involved in . Mukuamu is good depth at this point could play into more.

Just trade Wilson.

 

[stilltheguru]

Mukuamu is more hybrid S/Big corner, while Bell is more SS/Nickel LB (like Kearse).

Unless injury, both making 53.

You do know mukuamu body type is near identical to Kearse?

They don't play the same.

Play style trumps morphism.

 

[BAT]

Kearse not at his best moving backwards.

Mukuamu with his 4.4 speed, better hip flip and corner experience can.

 

[Bullflop]

If there is any doubt about Israel Mukuamo making the roster, after Sunday night's performance, it should be erased.
