Safeties in 2009

How likely does A. Henry get converted to FS? Does the fact that Hamlin looked straight silly in run support at times this season factor in the conversion? Can Hamlin handle being full-time SS?

I think a lot of people are probably deluding themselves into thinking our starting safeties won't be Roy Williams and Ken Hamlin at the same spots they started 2008.

I really don't think we get rid of Roy.

I think it will be Hamlin and Roy again. Hamlin has proven that we would not be a good fit at SS due to his poor tackling skills, and he won't be going any where due to his contrct.

I also think if Roy was in the lineup there was no way that debacle against Baltimore would have happened. He may be poor against the pass but he is outstanding in run support. Plus Wade did a good job of keeping Davis away giving up the big pass play, sohe should be able to do the same for Roy.

Umm, Hamlin was a strong stafety before he came to Dallas.

i agree... if wade can hide davis in coverage i think he will be able to do the same with roy...

I think you're deluding yourself thinking Roy Williams is a starting quality safety with the way he is consistently exposed in coverage. I'm willing to bet, we would be better off with Henry at FS and Hamlin at SS.

That's why he was able to come to Dallas. If he was all that great at SS, he wouldn't be here...

I think Henry is going to be converted to FS and in obvious passing downs both he and Hamlin will be out there as safeties. During normal downs, Hamlin will be FS and Roy 38 will be SS again.

Corners will be Newman and Scandrick, with either of the two moving into the slot and Jenkins our wide in the Nickel.
