1 career pick.....................he will fit right in with this defense

1 career interception. Looks like he's next in a long line of JAG safeties; Hamlin, McCray, Sensabaugh, Church, etc. Ok Hamlin did have 1 decent year here.

That's how you determine if a safety is good? Interceptions?

Well he was a corner turned safety. Had a very Barry church like year in 2014 ... 106 tackles and 1 pick. Was hurt last season and 2015

So he sucked at CB, they moved him to S, and he still sucked...................got it

You're not worried the other safeties will be jealous of the interception?

 

[dfense]

Another "Blue Light" KMart special whipped out my McClay. He will probably sign a 1yr contract
for 3 cases of Doritos.

Dorito's come in cases? Awesome

By height?

By height?

Harrison Smith didn't have a pick last year. Guess he's a Jag.

One of a few key factors, absolutely.

Well it sounds like he has trouble playing zone defense. Ill take it regardless he plays special teams, hes young and hes cheap.

 

[gimmesix]

I would love this move if he's cheap, little nervous about th S position. This would make me atleast a little less worried, plus take just a little pressure off us on draft day(s). If the guy can pass a physical and is willing to settle for a modest contract, I say go for it.

I agree. It creates competition at strong safety, which is something we need.

 

[gimmesix]

ST guy who fills out the position group prior to the draft. Not a lot beyond that here.

His numbers the year he started 13 games weren't bad, but I can't say I know much about him.

 

[T-RO]

The dude is a safety....

....net

for the Cowboys and their plans. In case draftees aren't ready to play.

 

[Floatyworm]

We are replacing the scrubs with more scrubs.

It's the Cowboy way. Also known as "The process"....

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

Sign him and save another 3 or 4 mil., Corners - Carroll = Caliborne, DTs- Paea = McClain, SSs Blanton = Church.


That's at least 9-12 million in savings and basically the exact same player role.

Dorito's come in cases? Awesome

Anyone else notice they quit decreasing the size of the bag (and the air they put in it) and decided to slice doritos even thinner? Youre not fooling me, Frito Lay! Doritos was the subject here, right?
