Twitter: PFF Showing Love To Israel Mukuamu

He's like Darren Woodson in high heels.

Game blouses!

I thought I heard, at least early on, they really like Mukuamu at safety. That seems to be a more natural fit for him from what I've seen, honestly. Wherever he plays, I just want this team to keep the six best corners and not get cute.

The Cowboys are going to have a pretty solid secondary at some point this year. May not be flashy names but they will get the job done. Hopefully it won't take more than 4-6 games for them to start jelling.

......like all good corners, they need to have the pass rushers do their job well

You're like Mike McCarthy in high heels...

Something we have going for us with Mukuamu is that while he isnt ever going to be an NFL CB, he is battle tested playing across from Horn in the SEC. Could make him less of a project than originally thought

He has only practiced/played Safety with the Cowboys.

 

[Sydla]

I thought the Cowboys are playing Mukuamu exclusively at safety.

I was just talking about Canady.

Didn't say they were playing him at CB. My point was even though he is not an NFL CB, he is a battle tested player from playing CB in the SEC

Hey, this is a Mukuamu thread. Resident thread monitor @JoeKing didn’t make a huge stink about it, so I guess I’ll let it slide this time.

Canady is playing well in some practices. Hopefully, he shows up big next two preseason games and turns out to be a hidden gem.

Two years ago he was touted as better than Horn. One strange flu-like weird year later, Horn is a top ten pick and Mukuamu is a 5th round pick.

 

[charron]

Do I dare hope we actually get above average safety play this year?

Mukuamu and hooker might be a great combo

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

I agree, great DBs....but put in Canady in there. For some reason, me thinks Brown could be trade bait. Even if just for draft pick.

I'd be fine with trading Brown and keeping Canady. We finally have wealth there. Considering we drafted Brown in the 6th round and got as much as we did out of him is impressive. I'd imagine we can get a 4th for him. That'd be quite the trade.

Every big name has to start somewhere.

Going into last college season from what I was hearing was this exact same thing.

 

[conner01]

Maurice Canady is the guy to watch. He could be a starter come week one. I say that because I don't trust our rookies just yet.

He may or may not start, buts he’s played well enough to be getting reps either way

 

[Creeper]

The Cowboys, for a first time in a long time are going to have some tough decisions to make in the secondary. It is not that there are a lot of great players but they have a bunch of guys who show promise. They need to get this right.

But how many safeties are they going to carry? And CBs? And LBs.

 

[Mr_437]

Didn’t realize he was being utilized in so many ways.

Wonder does DQ move every Safety the same way or is Isreal M. really doing something?

I like this player in the draft thought he could man up those pass catching TEs. IM looks to be able to do much more, but it'll be tough for him to make the team with Hooker getting into the picture.

You know? I think we are finally going to have a really nice stable of CBs this season. Diggs, Wilson, Mukuamu, Bossman, I think we are in great shape at CB. Brown for a veteran presence along with Lewis. That's 6 wonderful CBs.

Isn’t Wilson a S?

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Isn’t Wilson a S?

Oh, I meant Wright! Whoops!

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Lewis could be the odd man out. He hasn’t been out there much. And he’s small, this Def staff doesn’t like small players regardless of position. I wouldn’t be surprised if the starting CB’s are

Diggs
Wright
Canady

week 1(they’ll keep brown as insurance) for all 3 positions.
