When asked Friday about the possibility of drafting a FS.


I'm very pleased about that. I think Watkins is going to be a terrific.


I think you can scratch "FS" off of your mocks that show Dallas picking one in the first round.

He could also mean playing someone else already on the team at FS, ala, Henry. I like Watkins as well but if he should falter,, I think Moving Henry to FS makes sense.

That could be BUT I think Watkins is going to be given every opportunity to keep the job that was his when the season ended.

Why do you want Henry to play FS?

He already has trouble playing Right Corner.

Just a thought but with the draft approaching.....maybe a smoke screen??? They say things every year to try to throw off other teams.

jsut ignore the uneducated one. His girl cheated on him with Henry so anything from him on Henry is worthless.

Quite a switch from Jerry's disgruntled post-season comments about moving Henry. Maybe Phillips and Stewart have seen enough to convince Jerry that the kid is going to be OK.

Where did I say I WANTED him to play FS.. I simply said, that could be what JJ meant as well, saying that we could fill the position from within. I like Watkins and I want to see more of him before I make any final conclusions, but I think we will be fine with him at FS. Now if we are into the season and the kid can't hack it, then I think moving Henry to FS makes the most sense,, during the season,, not to start the season.

Henry already has enough trouble playing straight-up man coverage.

There is NO WAY he can play Cover-2/Cover-1

No way. He cant run to the corners and he can't close.

You must not have watched the times he played FS last year.. cuz he did exactly what you are saying he can't do. With all due respect, I will trust what I saw him to last year, over what you say he can't do.

I'd also like to see what Watkins can become.

Is it clear that Jerry is referring to Watkins?

With A. Glenn's age and Henry's bad luck with nagging injuries, Jerry has got to be open to drafting a CB. And if a CB is picked in the first round, chances are that Henry slides to saftey.


And, of course, there is the Jerry Jones just blowing smoke disinformation factor .... We are fast approaching that time of year when almost nothing he says can be taken at face value.

I think Watkins will play very well this year. Infact, I believe our entire secondary will be much better for one reason, WP will bring a intimidating pass rush consistently on sundays.. Your secondary is only as good as your pass rush.. Our secondary will be fine this year....

I'm thinking that Jerry is hoping he is fooling other teams as easily as he has fooled the lot of you. If FS IS a priority, why would he come out and say: "Yeah, Look for us to go FS in round 1/2"

When Jerry opens his mouth on personnel matters it means the HC has watched the tape and told him something.

So what Jerry meant was Wade may think he has something to work with in Elam and Watkins.

For all the people that think Jerry is "blowing smoke" please find me a SINGLE INSTANCE where Jerry has "blown smoke" when it comes to the draft.

Just one.

Find me one.

Please.

And you don't "blow smoke" when you're sitting at #22. Give me a break.

I think they may end up going with Watkins too...with a much improved front 7 scheme and a yr more of offseason experience, he could end up being a very good FS
