Twitter: PFF: Cowboys S Wilson is the highest graded rookie in NFL

[Stash]

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

And put the final nail in the coffin last year.

Next Earl Thomas?

lets hope not

Thank you for your efforts Jeff Heath, but your replacement is here

LLLOOOLLL

For sure....where was x.woods on t.gurleys 45 yard Td run late 1st half....from deep safety couldn't help but be able to affect play. Would've been reminiscent of Heath stopping raiders qb

Woooo-Whooooo,,,









* #38 is mildly bemused upon hearing this news

Melon, be honest - are you excited about Wilson?

 

[Hawkeye0202]

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.

I actually forgot about IIoka......guess you do have wonder if he makes 53. Certainly a fair question.......

And he ended it last year - I think Goff is still running on that bootleg that Heath looked right at and still misread.

I don't think he has a shot.

I did when they signed him, but he's done nothing to distinguish himself among the group.

Like several other guys like Mitch Hyatt, Jon'vea Johnson, and Reggie Davis, he's effectively 'cut himself' with his lack of plays.

We’ll see if they have the guts to cut a Boise State guy. Y’all know how much we love ‘em.

Iloka reminds me of Merton Hanks, except less-effective.

I agree......

I'd have to see how long his neck is first.

We'll keep Thompson so we can still reach our quota.

 

[MCMetal69]

Heath has plenty of heart and speed , but he lacks football/safety instincts. Wilson is just a far more fluid DB...............Not sure he's ready to take over , but based upon his play last season and especially that final play in the Rams game , what could it hurt if Jeff Heath isn't the starter ?

 

[tyke1doe]

on your Simpsons picture.

 

[CapnB]

Still not getting by GOAT Heath.... just not gonna happen...nope...noway

 

[tyke1doe]

Wilson is not replacing Heath immediately. He'll be worked in the rotation. Still, this is preseason. You can't knock it because it can be a foreshadowing of things to come (see Dak Prescott), but you have to pump the brakes just a little. It's not like he's been intercepting Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers or Drew Brees.

First guy we’ve had back there with ball skills since Ken Hamlin.
