He needs to be more physical and trust his speed

Hes only played 1 1/2 years.....Took Jobes 4 years to be good ...most CB take 2-3 years and ge gets 0 Safety help....Earl will improve our 2ndary

I want to take a big, physical CB in the middle-to-late rounds. Someone who fits Kris Richard's preference/style.

Like Isaiah Johnson (6'4', 203 lbs.)from Houston or Lonnie Johnson (6'3", 203 lbs.) from Kentucky.

I still would hope the Cowboys bring in Earl Thomas next season. I think he'd be transformative for this secondary.

Awuzie is fine, people seem to over look that has played less than 20 games and has had injuries, he was rated as one of the best CB early season, it's a learning curve.

 

[Hardline]

Awuzie is about the same size as rebid. He’s 6’ and faster. There’s no reason he can’t plsy bettet

 

[KingRah]

I meant Revis obviously.
As far as Awuzie, he needs to make more plays. If he takes a step forward, this defense will take a step forward. He had a chance at an int yesterday. If he makes a few of those plays, his confidence will rise and he reputation will improve among refs. That'll allow him to be more physical and get away with holding like Revis and Sherman did and do.

 

[zrinkill]

He can't spell.

But going by his arguments he is probably in elementary school so we should give him a break.
