Signed by Cowboys Safety George Iloka signed

[TheMarathonContinues]

What do you expect? We go very cheap at DT and Safety. And we will continue to get dominated by any good if we make the playoffs. We are very soft up the middle.

What was the option? Who in free agency would’ve fixed those needs?

 

[zack]

We should be real cocky and when our pick comes up. Just let the time run out..we have no needs..

 

[visionary]

We can't go S because of Iloka.

We can't go DT because of Covington.

We can't go DE because of Hyder.

We're pretty much loaded. It's a nice problem to have.

It's a wonder the NFL is allowing us to participate in the draft

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Earl Thomas is just fine. Bone breaks are no biggie in terms of recovery. This dude is nowhere near Earl. But hey, he's cheaper!!

Earl body is breaking down right before your eyes and you don’t even see it. Ravens don’t either though.

 

[conner01]

He has played more FS in his career than SS.

Which means woods not heath loses snaps

 

[Risen Star]

They said the same about Jerry Rice and don't remember him ever getting caught from behind.

There's still time to edit that.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Well...in their defense at least they got the guy who’s actually healthy.

That's a big part of it.

I don't think Geathers is much better than Iloka.

Berry has hardly played recently.

Thomas has had injury issues and it's still a brutal contract with a $15 mil cap hit next year and $16 mil the year after... All for a safety in his 30's.

 

[Floatyworm]

As far as I'm concerned our FA additions are Cobb and crap.

What did you want...Barry Church? Pickings are slim @ strong safety. And I don't think we want to rely on a rookie...

Look @ it this way....it's an upgrade over Kavon Frazier....I'll take it.

 

[Kaiser]

I've heard they are planning the following:

Starting SS: Iloka
Starting FS: Jeff Heath

Xavier Woods will replace Iloka in obvious passing situations.

That makes sense. Then draft a safety as well.

Exactly. I wanted Earl but that contract wasn’t smart for us to give. Just wasn’t.

 

[JustChip]

I don't know if people realize how slow this guy is.

Yep. You got to draw a line where he stands and come back and check it an hour to see if he's moved.

 

[Sydla]

That makes sense. Then draft a safety as well.

Why?

You think Heath is better than Woods?

Not saying you’re not “tied in” to something that happened in last 30 mins but here is take from team employee.

 

[Rayman70]

Boring. We went cheap on one of our must needs.

20 years and counting lol...

^^^^BOX SAFETY^^^^^

 

[Techsass]

I wonder what the story was with Heath in 2018. In 2016 & 2017 he played at a much higher level.

Maybe trouble transitioning from Eberflus to Richard's way of doing things?

 

[NorthwestDallas40]

They don't know how to evaluate safeties. They haven't had a really good one since Woodson.

Not true. Woods was a great 5th round pick and ascending. What you mean to say is that they don’t value safeties as much as they should.

 

[links18]

We can't go S because of Iloka.

We can't go DT because of Covington.

We can't go DE because of Hyder.

We're pretty much loaded. It's a nice problem to have.

We'll draft for special teams. Again.

 

[fweegy]

As far as I'm concerned our FA additions are Cobb and crap.

Truer words have never been spoken. Not even sure Cobb is such a great pickup.

 

[Flamma]

How good is this guy? I never heard of him.
