Doomsday101;3083303 said:Who ever is showing the most during practice is the one I want filling for Ken Hamlin. To me Watkins, Ball and M. Hamlin are all part of this team and I support each one but as far as who plays that should come down to which guy is showing the coaches he is ready to play.

theogt;3083241 said:How could you even possibly say that? Before this last game, the guy had played only a handful of snaps at safety all season. How could he possibly have been an upgrade? He's not even hardly playing the position.
And now, apparently according to Wade, he's not even going to take over the starting role.

Hamlin (Ken) has been pretty good at tackling this year. I just wish he had been more of a ball hog and intercepted a couple.
I would start Ball in his absence and then bring in Watkins or M. Hamlin in the nickle and dime. I'd kind of like to see what Mike can do.
BAT;3085221 said:Dear lord, all the wistfullness for Ken Hamlin is making me ill. The only thing KHam did reasonably well was line up the secondary after James relayed the D play. Which is something that Sensabaugh does as well.
Ken Hamlin was a below average tackler, below average ball hawk and below average in man 2 man coverage. Ken Hamlin was the player the secondary could most afford to lose.
I hope the Cowboys season does not hinge on KHam.

FYI: There are fans who exhibit a defeatist attitude within the first few minutes of a game. Check any first half gameday thread for verification. Your comment is profound, but it will be utterly lost on some since they may already embrace a quitter's mentality, which they believe the team should share as well.The Realist;3082940 said:You don't learn to overcome adversity by quitting.
