Jane Slater on Iloka

[Avery]

As they should. If Frazier or Heath go down, you're looking at a rookie being forced to step in.

 

[ClappingCarrot]

Texas born, Boise State educated, and has played in a fast, physical system for 6 seasons and has proven durability.

It makes a ton of sense, which is why I don't think it will happen.

 

[J-man]

I thought the same thing when I saw he's release scroll across the bottom of the screen. They at least have to kick the tires, if nothing more than to make the Seachicks a little twitchy.

Do it now while he still has 3 weeks before the season starts to learn the defense

 

[beware_d-ware]

Ooooh! If George Iloka's hitting the market and we don't have to trade anything for him, I'd be all over it.

3 years $12 million, half guaranteed right now.

That would be a good deal for both sides

 

[DFWJC]

Assuming there are no surprises with him (playing through an injury or a pending suspension) we really should kick the tires on this one.

 

[northerncowboynation]

Makes sense. He's a veteran who who has played every game over the last 5 years. Looks like Woods is gonna be out 2-4 weeks. We could use the experience. Take a look, why not

That’s what I am thinking. Cheaper than ET and pretty solid player. Woods is hurt.

"Considering taking a look"?

lol, this freaking staff.

It's all good, let's put that one guy and whatshisface out there as our starting safeties with no backups. I don't see what could possibly go wrong.

Maybe move our starting corners to safety, that'll fix everything.

 

[Future]

The problem with Iloka is that he does not fix what this defense needs - which is a playmaking safety over the top.

He provides depth, but he's mostly an in the box guy.

 

[funkytown]

This needs to happen.

But its not the type of moves they make, so I doubt they sign him. I'm sure we'll here something about not a scheme fit or that we have young players who they think are just as qualified.

Which this defense needs. So he fixes A need, if not THE need.

 

[SportsGuru80]

He's a box style safety... Unless they would move Heath to FS?

 

[Bowdown27]

Pick him up. We keep our picks instead of trading for earl.

Yeah but think of the bright side, we're 20 players deep at wide receiver!

I believe he played deep free safety for the Bengals.

 

[SportsGuru80]

Naa he's more of a SS type.

I believe they would be ok with Heath at FS if needed, then Iloka can be SS. I’d rather ET, but wouldn’t mind signing Iloka.
