A collection of articles and blog posts concerning the Dallas Cowboys safety position from the past, present, and future of the franchise.
Stop me if you have heard this before, “the Dallas Cowboys should address the safety position in the NFL Draft”. That must sound like a broken record to most Cowboys fans who have witnessed their team ignore the position in both free agency and the draft year in and year out. Last season, the Cowboys brought in some high risk, high reward players on one year deals in Damontae Kazee…
The Dallas Cowboys safety position has long been an area of weakness and at the same time a position the Cowboys front office refuses to invest serious free agent capital or premium draft picks on. The strategy hasn’t changed in 2021 but Cowboys fans are hoping for a different result. Similar to last season, when they signed former first round pick Ha Ha Clinton-Dix to a cheap deal, the Cowboys…
The news of Malik Hooker being signed with the Dallas Cowboys has brought some mixed reactions but mostly excitement among Cowboys Nation. It’s hard to blame fans for feeling good about this move. The safety position has been neglected by this organization for so long, that the thought of a potentially elite player starting at the center field position could be too much to bear for many fans. After all,…
The Dallas Cowboys draft targets for the 2021 NFL draft will include players from numerous position groups. One position group that has been notoriously neglected in previous Dallas Cowboys draft hauls is the safety position. This position has been a weak spot for the Cowboys for decades now and starting free safety Xavier Woods is an unrestricted free agent. Cowboys fans hope that the addition of Dan Quinn as the…
The Dallas Cowboys secondary is a group that has the most to prove in 2020. The safety position has long been the weak link for this franchise and the team has refused to address it via free agency, the draft, or even trade. Rumours swirling around Earl Thomas and dreams of signing Jamal Adams have thus far been only that, rumours and dreams. In addition to the obvious concerns at…
The Dallas Cowboys secondary has been considered to be the teams major weakness defensively. The lack a legitimate ball hawking safety, a true shut down corner, and sufficient depth have been a concern for Cowboys fans for years. That perception is beginning to change for Cowboys fans with some talented young players emerging as rising stars for the future. CORNERBACK Cornerback is a position that Cowboy fans are particularly optimistic…
The dream of signing safety Earl Thomas was crushed earlier this month and the Dallas Cowboys have finally settled on free agent safety George Iloka as a consolation prize. Last season, the Cowboys had an opportunity to bring in Iloka along with several other free agent safeties who went unsigned prior to the 2018 season but they held back, likely hoping to acquire Thomas at some point. Now that Thomas…
The Dallas Cowboys secondary is the biggest question mark for the defense heading into the 2018 season. Just as they were in 2017, they are young, talented and inexperienced which is a recipe for giving up big plays. That is exactly what they did on many occasions last year. This year many of these players are entering their 2nd season and now have a year of experience under their belt. …
Jeff Heath looks to be the Dallas Cowboys week 1 starter at free safety in 2018. How do Dallas Cowboys fans feel about that? Well, the jury is still out on that verdict. The former undrafted free agent has replaced another former undrafted free agent (Tony Romo) as the most polarizing player on the Dallas Cowboys when it comes to fan perception. Half of the Cowboys fan base are ready…
New secondary coach and passing game co-ordinator Kris Richard made it abundantly clear that he prefers length, strength and athleticism as physical traits for his cornerbacks. In a www.DallasCowboys.com article, Nick Eatman explains that it was for those reasons that he opted to switch Byron Jones from safety to cornerback. Jones possesses the prototypical size and athleticism that Richard values for that position. In that same article, Coach Richard did…
