This just seems like a signing to make a signing.

The player himself is not especially impressive.

agree....seems like a mediocre box safety. Pretty limited guy.

BOX SAFETY.

Even for a BOX Saftey he’s slow. Teams still pass on 1st down. He is slower than our top 3 LBs.

The only plus is that his ability to tackle is better than that of Heath. Hopefully, we draft a SS type who has better range. This could be a decent stopgap signing & I hope he’s good here, but I till don’t like it.

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

Barry Church slow. Those who hated Church are going to hate Illoka.

I don't mind the move to provide more depth and competition at the safety spots, but anyone who sees him as an upgrade to Heath must only be thinking about run defense.

Bengals fans say Iloka was out of position at FS and is best as the SS. You don't put a 4.6 40 at single-high...especially when you have 3 FSs who go 4.5 or better.

Kavon is in trouble.

Kavon is a special-teammer. He's not going anywhere because of this signing. Frazier wasn't competing to be a starter.

 

[Wood]

I put this in "hurns" resigning head scratcher. This S if slow and declining.

Does anyone know how to pronounce this guys name so we can at least properly yell at him during games? . . .

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

Sadly, this guy is about as low a signing as you could get. Worlds better than Heath, no doubt, but I dont see the Cowboys benching Heath for this guy.

mediocre players, we arent looking for super stars, we want mediocrity get it through your head.

 

[Richmond Cowboy]

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

Both of those are typically associated with corn.

"Kam Chancellor slow". Chancellor ran a 4.69 40, and Kris Richard made good use of him.

Just some food for thought.

Ehhh decent signing... give heath some competition this camp

 

[ClappingCarrot]

I'm curious to see the numbers. Could be a quality depth signing, assuming we draft a safety next month.

 

[Jake]

Nice. At least he is an experienced player. And an upgrade over Heath.

An "upgrade over Heath" because you've never seen him miss a tackle or blow a coverage in a Cowboys uniform.

Third team in 3 seasons. Either he's Deion Sanders or nothing special. In his case, I'm betting it's the latter.

 

[Risen Star]

Look at the posture on him. How the hell does a spine like that not show up in a physical?

Ikoka doesn't have that mentality.

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

To me- I think Heath's football IQ is terrible esp in the run game. The Rams game showed that. He was the only one free to make the tackle and he was a no show. Could have been coaching but the good players play the game.

Why? Do you have an IQ test for the two?

No instincts for the position.
