[Hawkeye0202]

Yep......that's what they said

Woooo-Whooooo,,,









* #38 is mildly bemused upon hearing this news

Start him ahead of Heath...it’s time.

 

[J12B]

Next Earl Thomas?

I doubt their rating system takes into account what the dline did last game. Dline dominance = good safety play

Jeff Heath off the field=good Ill take some bruises, Jeff Heath has cost plenty of games in the past.

It wasn't about last game, that's the entire preseason and he had another pick outside of the game in Houston.

heath who ?

The kid definitely looks good. They better hold onto him.

He might be the starter with Woods sometime this season. I expect him to get a ton of snaps even if he isn't the starter on paper

By no means am I a fan of PFF, but what rating does take this into account?

Donovan Wilson certainly seems to have all the ball skills and tackling abilities that a safety needs to wrest the job from Heath. If he's able to grasp the ability to direct traffic as well as necessary, I wouldn't be surprised at all if that happened quite soon!

He's really developed impressively in a short time span.

Stout, good tackling, and experience as a slot corner for decent underneath coverage skills. Not a guy you want carrying a receiver downfield, or playing single high, but I'm good with that. We needed an in the box SS who wasn't a liability in close man coverage (like Heath). Wilson sounds like he fits the bill. Bye Iloka. Heath can play S when more deep zone is wanted.

Checks all the RKG boxes, smart, hard worker, team leader. Also, had a significant injury and missed a year. Another Cowboys check.

Good chance he's the "starter" soon, because he should be taking the base in the box SS duties from Heath, and so get in on 1st down, even if Heath is still taking the coverage snaps.

Oh good lord...pff is now grading grading rookies based off of some preseason games?

Great stuff! I especially liked your brief thought about George Iloka exiting. He hasn't done much of anything, thus far. We'll see.

Funny cause he’s the same guy who saved our season two years ago.

Fans do it all the time - have you seen this board lately? There's a market for it.

Personally, I agree that it's risky to read too much into preseason games.

I'll believe he'll get Heath off the field when I see it.

Another one of this team's sacred cows.
