Xavier Woods signs with the Vikings

[Cowfan75]

There should be no problem with someone like Crawford who have it his all every play. It’s the coaches fault for playing him and not finding a suitable replacement.

If he gave it his all every play, then he is even worse than I give him credit for. Better that I think he just mailed it in most of the time.

I do! For every Aikman/Irvin/Smith jersey I own, I have a Dak/Quincy/Julius jersey.

Pretty easily replaced.

 

[Redline360]

Good riddance...

Now watch him succeed under new coaching. Wouldn't suprise me but he's just a cheap insurance policy at this point

Woods played much better in 2019 than 2020.

There were a lot of players on defense that underperformed though. Chido, Brown and Lewis were whiffing tackles and blowing assignments too. Smith and LVE took huge steps back.

I guess Woods performance was the worst of that dumpster. He had to go.

too many long TD passes...right up the middle of the defense.

Very small sample size with Kazee

Agreed given his lack of a full 2020 season but here is his stats from 2018 & 2019:

Missed Tackle %

2018: 13.7%

2019: 12.9%


Opposing QB Completion %

2018: 53.3% (16 of 30 for 256 Yards and 4 TD's)

2019: 65.1% (28 of 43 for 323 Yards and 1 TD)

Xavier Woods made me miss Jeff Heath.

Yes, smoke them if you have them! We all speculated prior to fa that one of the fa's was going to return, where Woods was probably the one kept. His play totally fell off a cliff last season and then those don't try comments, it's was time to move on. He was a player that the front office kept on saying his breakout was coming, but never did. He was the reason why they passed on Thornhill cause they thought they needed more of a strong safety.

What you said at the start is what gets me. You're absolutely right about his play and then those comments. The front office tried to look tough by cutting guys midseason. However, most were the new guys while allowing guys like woods who were playing just as bad to stay.

They just didn't have anyone behind Woods to let him go.

They coulda traded to get back the GOAT Jeff Heath problems solved

The good thing is, it appears Dan Quinn puts more of an importance at the position as they basically signed 3 just this week.

Yes, that and hopefully we get more DT help.

 

[McKDaddy]

Those comments he made in the media about effort sure didnt help.

I thought he was done here. Thought the Cowboys would have signed you or me to play FS before bringing him back

i was getting worried they would because he was cheap. glad that is off the table now.

Being rid of Xavier, and signing 3 DBs,,, IDK how this will work out, but at least the odds are stacked in our favor of improvement.
Its a step in the right direction hands down.

 

[phildadon86]

Good bye Xavier. Dont make too much "effort" making your flight.

 

[WoodysGirl]

He might have a high upside for that team and that scheme. Good luck to him.
