Who do you think has played better in Roy's absence - Watkins or Killa? I just read that Davis is starting even though Watkins is ready to play. I tend to think Watkins is the better of the two, but maybe that's because the entire defense was playing better before he got hurt.

watkins is going to be a hell of a player if he could stay healthy.

i like keith because of his vocal leadership and hard hits.

watkins will lay the wood too.

i wish someone would post that hit he laid on vick a couple years ago....sweet.
 
Watkins is more a FS. Davis a SS

Depends where they are deployed offset Hamlin. I think Hamlin SS and Watkins at FS is our best duo. Roy with an arm or smashed arm.
 
none of the above.

and BTW. Killa isn't a backup anymore.
 
I have always been a big fan of Watkins and I think he can be a good safety for us. I also think he fits better at FS and Hamlin at SS, but it doesnt make sense to switch them around now at mid-season. We're having enough trouble as it is with players at their current positions. I wouldn't mind the switch at all in the off season.
 
Davis is SS, Watkins is a FS. Unless they move Hamlin to SS, then Davis is better suited IMO to start in Roy's absense.
 
Killah has been making plays where as Hawkins still = Deer in Headlights...
 
Courtney Brown is intriguing, but it's too early to tell what he's got.

Davis is a good backup, who unfortunatley needs to start.

Watkins is a better backup than Davis in my opinion, but he's not 100% yet and his injury is the reoccuring type that can make him play tentatively. I think he'll probably play more special teams this week then saftey.
 
Im a big fan a Pat Watkins , but a person at his height and size 6-5 215, you would expect alot more interceptions from him and alot more production.

Pat Watkins cover skills as a FS is mediocre at best and it needs to improve.... But I believe Pat Watkins and Roy Williams would be better in a 4-3 defense....

Courtney Brown, he's not nobody to write home about... To be honest with the safeties we have not with Keith Davis, Pat Watkins, and Cortney Brown, im pretty scared, and I guess that's why I know it's October...

Cowboys need to switch back to a 4-3 Defense.
