Xavier Woods showed up frequently

[JohnsKey19]

Blanton will not make this team.

Blantons can be found any week of the year. He's like a Sterling Moore. Can start in a pinch and won't embarrass you but seemingly always either on a 1 year deal or a FA looking for work.

Woods is just a natural safety. Once the game slows down more the picks will come. We got another steal folks.

Woods is one of those guys that needs a season to adjust and he can potentially be a high impact guy next year. Very smart and a nose for the football

 

[CowboyRoy]

Heath is going to silence a lot of people week 1.

And what has he done the fist two preseason game against backups?

Blanton will not make this team.

Being saying this for weeks

Gonna be some tough cuts.

Carroll, Scandrick, Brown, Jones, and Heath are locks. Awuzie and Lewis will make it too. That leaves about 3 or 4 spots open. Frazier and Woods really showed something tonight. Blanton is a vet. It'll come down to special teams.

It will be 10 DBs. I think it will be 6 corners and 4 safeties.

Xavier "Laying The" Wood.

Frazier forced a fumble as well. Blanton is bland.

If I recall correctly, we signed Blanton right before the draft, however with us drafting 4 DBs, the odds are against him making the roster. His best chance is on special teams, but I think Frazier is out performing him there and both Woods and Frazier seem to be better in the base defense.

Less than he did in the playoffs against Aaron Rodgers. Be quiet

Well based on what we had last season......that would probably be a upgrade.

A better question would be what has he done his whole career aside from the Packers game last year? That game really bought him some time with fans it seems.....its like he's reintroduced himself as fans and has wiped away the player he truly is.

If he was so great he would've been on the field more.

Pretty much. He's spent most of his career getting burnt and looking lost.

Sit down . . .be humble

 

[kevm3]

anyone have the xavier woods highlight video from that last game?

 

[TheCoolFan]

I like Heath but I don't know if he fits with Byron Jones as the other starting safety. I see Heath as being the center fielder safety that Jones plays, not the rangy all-around playmaker that the SS position would need...which I see Woods being. Byron = late-career Darren Woodson at safety, now we need a SS who can be the Roy Williams and make plays all over the field

 

[Rogerthat12]

Woods will be a starter in due time, he is a play maker and will make an impact.

Once he develops further and the game slows down, he is going to be a beast back there!

I was high on him prior to the draft, kid has all the tools, he just needs the reps and opportunities!

Blanton will battle Kellen Moore for the remaining QB position.
