Mosley: Hamlin may be on way out

By dcfanatic, January 22, 2010 8:14 pm


If there was one player on the Cowboys defense who underperformed this season it was definitely Ken Hamlin.

Matt Mosley from Galloway and Company was talking about what he's hearing on Hamlin...

Mosley on GAC talks future of Ken Hamlin

I do like the idea of drafting a big time Safety. From what I hear Taylor Mays is a big time Safety, but I think he was 'hotter' coming off the 2008 season.

Hamlin got a big fat deal and did not play well this season. He rarely made any plays and early in the season was pretty bad. There were plays where he took unusual if not just plain stupid angles on ball carriers. Then at other times he seemed to go out on his own and take himself out of plays with his guess work.

In 2007 Hamlin came up big with 15 passes defended and 5 INT's.

In the last 28 games, 16 in 2008 and 12 in 2009, he has a total of 1 INT and 4 passes defended.

Just imagine how great this defense would be with a ball hawking Free Safety like an Ed Reed. Right now Hamlin is certainly not that guy and he may just be on his way out of Dallas.

I want no part of Taylor Mays.

You think people turned on Roy L Williams? Wait til they get a load of this guy.

Stay away.

Do not want.

I'd like to draft another corner and move Newman to safety, what do you think?

Newman can't tackle to save his life.

 

[SLATEmosphere]

Earl Thomas!!!!!

Lock it up!!!

Mays is a big hitter who can't cover--draft a DB who can cover and make somebody a safety

 

[Rampage]

If they were to take Taylor Mays(i hope not) we have to get a better db coach.

I could bet money with anyone that as long as Wade is our D coordinatory next year, Hamlin will be our starting FS.

The attributes Wade praises about Hamlin are things people don't even wanna associate with him.

If you listen to Wade talk about Ken, then you'll know he'll be his guy as long as Wade is still here. Wade talks about how much range he has as an overlapping FS. He talks about how he organizes everyone back there and how he brings a calming influence to the secondary.

Ken aint going nowhere.

Newman can and does thanks. He had several FF last year from laying wood.

Maybe in one more year but I'm warming up to the idea some...

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Some people were crying at the suggestion of this 10 hours ago.

Mays is a SS
Earl Thomas fits the mold but is small

I wouldn't count anything out.

Wade almost always finds ways to talk optimistically and positively about his players, especially his starters. Ken Hamlin does do those things, but notice that Wade does not say that he's a playmaker. Because he's not. Guaranteed that, although he publicly praises what Hamlin does well, Wade wants a ballhawk at free safety that can capitalize on the errant and/or hurried throws his patented front-7 pressure creates. That Hamlin does not, has not produced in that capacity (since his first season with us)... and that he makes WAY too much money for his production (Jerry, the General Manager, has input on this, too)... we will be looking to cut or trade Hamlin & replace him with someone who can help round out Wade Phillips' ideal design of a defense; crazy pressure up-front, fast, athletic secondary that causes turnovers as a result.

Hamlin is as good as gone.

Hide & watch.

COWBOYS Nation would be a bette place with Hamlin and Newman finding new teams next season like Roy1 did - 3 horriblly overpaid - overrated players.

 

[JBell]

Nate Allen or Earl Thomas will do.

 

[Rampage]

Morgan Burnett please

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

That would be a huge mistake! Newman would really be on the injured reserve list then....

Mike Hamlin needs to get a chance to start.

Newman is way too small(5'11") to play corner.

Let me second that.

Anyone who can't get INTs in college will not get them in NFL.

You need to be instinctive to play S. Mays has ZERO. He's a great physical specimen and work out warrior but he can't play.

 

[elcocinero]

Newman is way too small(5'11") to play corner.

Was that a slip?
