[LocimusPrime]

Ed Reed. Free safety.

Speed and size is not as important when you have these amazing football instinct. some dudes need every bit of speed to make up for slow read where guy like Ed Reed knows the play when offense breaks the huddle!

i think Woods has the football smarts
im not worried about how fast.

 

[GORICO]

Playing safety is more about angles and less about overall speed.

jday...Woods bettered his 40 time on proday to 4.51

 

[GORICO]

He looks tiny. Look how big his helmet is compared to his body

he hits and explodes like a missle though

Not sure if you are aware of this, but that's pretty normal. Most players run faster at their pro day versus combine. The reason for that, I'm not certain; but it has been speculated that the timers are usually the players coaches and they have a tendency to be kinder with their assessed times. Again, I'm not sure if that's the reason or not, but it sounds plausible.

Gentlemen--Ever since we drafted Xavier Woods in 6th round he has been the rookie i wanted see

succeed the most...he is a bit undersized but he is a total baller and hitter and can cover...not only was he

an all American in football but he was an All American in scholastics so he is smart too..and a very humble

man..and he made some plays last night against Cardinals and big time in preseason too...lets root on

Xavier Woods

It's a New DAY

jday-- i heard the speculation that usually the day and night before the run the 40 they are in meetings til late so it throws off normal rythym??

Possible. Like I said, I don't know why this is so, only that it is a usual phenomenon. I know this because from time to time you will catch the media/fans attempt to pass off a player as faster than other players of like position comparing the player they are championing's pro day numbers to the other players combine numbers, which is why you should always double check the combine numbers that are provided on the various sites that house them.

 

[Wood]

Is he really undersized? He didn't look undersized standing next to Jones.

Woods is 5'11 200 pounds and bob sanders was 5'8 205 for comparison sakes

Brian Dawkins was 6' 210 lbs. Almost same size.

 

[xwalker]

Isn't that an incomplete sentence? What about him?

The play by play guy called him that.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

I can only recall the play where he jumped up and almost picked off the pass. I remember seeing him a lot but just don't remember much about his game last night. I've read multiple posts about how well he played. I just wish I could remember more about his night.

He was the one covering the reciever was wide open for a TD but was called back

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Complete steal.

Byron Jones runs like a gazelle, but Woods has twice the instincts and will be twice the safety.

I'm ready to see him move to starting unit and Jones back to corner. Think the Cowboys will be better off.

Jones is better in coverage right now. Woods was burnt on the TD tat was called back. He is just a rookie playing out of position in week 3. I know he will improve. Just think it's funny people praise Woods cause they like him and put Jones down cause they dislike him.

Same thing with Jaylon and Lee. Lee was terrible in coverage especially in the first quarter but nobody says anything cause he is a favorite. Some want Jaylon to fail and harp on any little mishap

 

[Hardline]

He looks tiny. Look how big his helmet is compared to his body

I just got a Lance Dunbar flashback.

 

[bsbellomy]

Ya but can he long jump?

I'd really just rather you give me his SPARQ scores..

Keep your workout warriors like jones

Give me a solid football player like woods who can get better with exp

/I'm still having nightmares of jones blocking himself against Denver

Jones was really good against AZ and much better than people claim against Denver. He had 3 or 4 negative plays against Denver out of 78 snaps.

 

[big dog cowboy]

check out the pro bowler and all-pro Honeybadger...he is listed shorter and lighter and slower then Woods. this was in college of course.....Woods will be an all pro in 3 years in my humble opinion

I don't know about All Pro but he is will be good enough to win a Super Bowl with. That's good enough for me.

 

[CowboyStar88]

I'm hoping Woods becomes a player!

I like how he can play the slot like Woodson use to.

 

[JoeyBoy718]

He's been gaining snap counts each week (0 to 34 to 43). Let's hope he can beat out Heath by the midway mark. Let's also hope Awuzie gets healthy and Lewis continues to impress. These rookie DBs can make quite an impact this season.
