One of his blog entries, highlighted and put in paragraph form by me:

Great Question...

I'm going in to my fifth year in the nfl and i have played behind to good safeties eary in my career. 1. Dovovan Darius- known for big hits, high intensity, always around the football. 2. Deon Grant known for his coverage ability and good ball skills.

What i did as a player was try to combine the two together to mold myself in that image. In jacksonville i played beside reggie nelson who is pretty good himself.

I was pretty much the down safety doing a lot of run stopping on first and second downs. In passing situations i would do most of the covering when in man coverage rather it be a slot WR or TE. So i've had a lot of snaps at run stuffing and covering during last season.

In dallas i will be at the strong safety position and Ken will be the free.

In the 3-4 defense it mainly stops the run and puts a lot of pressure on the secondary because we all know the Cowboys love man coverage. So my job is to cover and cap the run.

I think this defense is great for what i have molded my career for. So expect me to make a lot of plays and show my coverage ability which i am looking forward to.

My rookie year in jax they experienced me at corner and every year i get snaps playing the inside slot.

---------------------------------------
Already one of my favorite offseason acquisitions, his experiences at actually covering TE's and WR's and playing cornerback may bring this to be one of the most unheralded yet important offseason moves by any NFC East team.

Can anyone imagine having Roy 38 trying to play CB? The fact that Jacksonville had him doing so really speaks of an improvement at the strong safety position we'll enjoy this season. Seriously though, we now have a strong safety talented enough to stuff the run and play coverages in the slot???

Damn it, this season can't get started fast enough!

So he played in exceptionally well in Jacksonville, has great coverage skills to the point of playing man to man on slot wide receivers, whose loss to Jacksonville was widely lamented by their fans, and is a strong safetey....

Fixed it for you.

There is no question we will see a noticeable upgrade from Roy. I loved this signing from the beginning. I'm very optimistic about our 2ndary.

Don't forget he is playing for a contract too.

Remember Hamlin's first year with us? I'm expecting big things from him. His athleticism is going to make an impact right away. Our secondary just went from being a weakness to a strength.

when did we start loving to play man?
When tnew and the rest of the corners told Stewart/Wade that they wanted to play more man cause they don't feel like playing 15 yards off the wrs anymore.

A 46.6 inch vertical leap is just mind boggingly insane. It means he can about hit is head on the rim from a standing position.

Which means he can see over the rim from a running start, at 6'1:eek:

Sensabaugh=The next Ed Reed.

Just sayin...
Don't get me wrong, I'm pulling for the guy too BUT he's 5-yrs in the league; his "Ed Reedness" should have shown by now. That said, he can still turn out to be late-bloomer baller showing the Jags they made a mistake letting him go, which would be just fine by me.....

I want to believe Sensabaugh is the missing piece to finally make this defense live up to expectations, but we still need Spencer and Brooking to pick up the slack also. If those 3 players have career years or close to it it will be a top 3 defense easily.
