Keanu Neal to play S.S. if KJ Wright comes?

[ScipioCowboy]

I think Wright plays the middle.

 

[CowboyRoy]

And keep LVE???

LVE is probably gone after this season.

True. He’s good. But not durable. Ala Sean Lee

Im not even sure how good he is. His play has been bad after his rookie year. How much is injuries and how much is his ability? Hard to tell. Worth one more look on the rookie deal.

Yea. Your right about that. I concur

 

[coult44]

As long as Wilson is on the field I dont care what Neal does.

Slow up a little bit. If he continues to play well, ok. He was the best in what could be the worst defensive backfield in Cowboys history. That doesn’t say much. Competition never hurt anyone.

So we are replacing him with a 10 year vet? And taking his snaps so he's got no value as a free agent?

Again, Ronnie. I'm calling on you to think first and post later. Or never, that would improve the board immensely

 

[JoeKing]

Please God, let us have this.

This is the last move that needs to happen and let where people play and what happens to Smith work itself out. Smith needs to be phased out soon anyway. Use the draft to find replacements for all these 1 year deals and underperforming players that need to go sooner than later.

I would like for the last move to be for a veteran corner. Then again we never get our way.

Wright makes a lot of sense. Last season he had 60 solo tackles 11 for loss, 10 passes defended 3 quarterback hits, 2 fumble recoveries and 2 sacks. turnovers and negative plays are a big plus.

 

[Sarge]

And keep LVE???

Yes

 

[Bullflop]

Same old story -- the Cowboys' FO and Todd France, playing games . . .

It's sickening . . .

Atlantas secondary was much better? I already said if its a real competition Neal would get beat bad (which is why hes trying to play linebacker now). Ok?

 

[J-man]

If you can get a quality proven vet, at any position, to sign for a very team friendly deal than you do it and let it play itself out.

 

[Ranched]

Hopefully these new pieces will help this team reach over 8 wins.

I believe Neal with play strong safety if KJ Wright is brought in. This is the best move for the defense that keeps complimentary players at their natural positions including Jaylon.

I believe Stephen Jones is holding up the deal because he doesn’t want to admit he is wrong on Sean Lee, dude is always injured and won’t help contribute to this team.

If this were true, and Stephen is controlling it, why would he talk to Wright at all?

Besides, the Cowboys have already moved past Lee as an every down player anyway. The only reason he has played much the last 2 seasons is because of injuries to others.

I think getting KJ is essential for this defense to take a giant leap forward.
Without him, we'd have the man of glass at Mike, Jaylon at Sam (a guy who can't cover on the TE, great idea) and Neal at Wil (which I like).
KJ is a Sam. He would line up strong side and cover the TE and also provide an anchor in run support.
That would put Jaylon at Mike (a better spot for him despite his instinct limitations), with LVE rotating so Jaylon doesn't see 1100 smaps like he did last year, and LVE/Neal rotating at Wil (with Neal seeing some snaps at SS).
Like having 5 players manning 4 positions, allowing for reduced snaps for LVE (injury) and Jaylon (just too many snaps last year for a player with limitations).
Allowing us to concentrate on Dline and secondary for the draft and the remainder of FA.

 

[conner01]

Neal signed a 1-year deal and Dallas has seen Wilson emerge as a SS starter so Neal plays LB and Wright doesn't sign with Dallas.

I would rather spend that money on a DT and draft a LB who can help on ST and can be developed for the future

 

[keysersoze]

Yes

HELL NO!
