Upgrade safety and WR depth

[jterrell]

I felt entering the year the two positions we actually were weakest at were these 2.
After Dez we had no reliable outside WR and at safety we simply have two very mediocre players.

I think that bore out last night.

This team must address safety. On 4 of the last 6 plays for the Saints a Safety missed a tackle. That includes the long TD to end it as well as the long run to the 1 inch line just before the last TD. Our safety tackling in space is atrocious. The last line of defense can not reach out for flying arm tackles.

WR is a nuanced position. You need to study film and possess crazy physical tools and also rep like crazy to drill technique. It takes driven, rather insane folks to work. Dallas doesn't have that after Dez and Beasley. TWill is a talent but he can;t really catch, isn't really that strong and has moderate hands. The fact we went to him over and over tells you all you need to know about the other guys.

I honestly have no idea why Street made this roster. Butler surpassed him in 2 weeks.

I believe we will fine as a team with reinforcements quickly arriving but these two positions will remain a year-long drag on the team if not upgraded.

I'd be looking for help from teams with early season funks. Alshon Jeffery would immediately pass TWill here. Delvin Breaux can't single cover Jeffery. Maybe Steve Smith if Baltimore wants a youth movement. Maybe one of the 49ers WRs... there are lots of guys who can play but simply walking out the leash for terrible teams.

Safety is a bit tougher. That may need to be an R1 or R2 draft pick.

I do think our safety situation isn't ideal. We basically got 2 SS out there and one is really a box safety or a LB. Second out WR core is fine we need a qb that can distribute the ball without any issues. Without out Romo our WR core is looking bad.

We need a ball hawk in that secondary. Everyone back there has poor hands and poor instincts

Bite the bullet and trade for a real leader and producer in center field, Eric Weddle.

Safety play has been below par for years. Church couldnt cover a man hole cover and now seems to have forgotten how to tackle. Lets face it the intellectual part of playing safety isnt Wilcox strength.

I would give Byron Jones a shot. To be honest l like Wilcox better than Church at SS. Really don't get the team's love for Church, he is a brutal open field tackler and is a marginal pass defender.

the chargers are 2-2 just like us. why would they give him up?

I would rather cut that lowsy first round selection, Jones, than putting him in the starting line up. But yeah, let's see what JJ offers as a SS. And then, finally, get a true FS in the draft.

Chargers did not extend him and have no intention of re-signing him next season. Ticked him off and Weddle has already informed them that he's not coming back.

this thread is a laugh a minute.....

We need to search for safety help around the league ..........while our #1 pick grows mold on the sideline.

What does this say about our ability to draft? So knew this Bryon Jones was gonna bust.........

That's what Byron Jones is supposed to be. Time to let him be it.

Jones has been really good, and getting better. Not sure what you're watching.

What????

 

[YosemiteSam]

We should trade for Earl Thomas and Julio Jones. That would help.

We should trade for Earl Thomas and Julio Jones. That would help.

And after Terry Bradshaw is done battling the shingles virus, perhaps he could be brought on board.

 

[LocimusPrime]

Bring in Alshon. Cut street. Bring in Hynoski and cut Clutts

 

[RunDMC]

What game are you watching dude? Byron has been great this season and needs to be starting at FS.

 

[TheDude]

I am going to make a proclamation here the 5th day of October in the year 2015 anno Domini........

We will never again see on Cowboyszone a post or thread that Barry Church is "basically as good as Kam Chancellor"

Take it to the bank, book it, 3 inch headlines

 

[Stinger_Splash]

How many years the FO is going to ignore the safety position? So sick of the trash we throw out there.
