BTW, Calvin Watkins on Iloka from the (fair use portion of) The Athletic -
The Cowboys needed upgrades at safety, but they elected not to chase after Thomas. Despite a visit with former Chief Eric Berry, a cheaper route was found in George Iloka. The Cowboys were impressed with his ability to play both the free and strong safety positions. Iloka will line up as a strong safety to create competition with Jeff Heath. Iloka isn’t Thomas. He isn’t Berry. But he is somebody who will make the smart play, according to team officials. They believe he’s a better cover man than Heath and athletic enough to make tackles in open space. Xavier Woods will continue as the free safety, and his progression in the last month and half of last season gives the Cowboys confidence he can maintain his starting role.
