Solving The Cowboys Safety Issues

PrintIf free agency ever arrives, the Dallas Cowboys will have to be aggressive in pursuing defensive help. Last year's collapse by that unit was a big issue and the organization, for the most part, ignored it in the draft. Adding Rob Ryan, and his aggressive, attacking scheme of football might help, but it's hard to believe that will be the Cowboys only attempt at solving the problem.
No position was a bigger problem for the Cowboys in 2010 than safety, more specifically free safety. Cornerback-turned-safety-turned-starter Alan Ball certainly wasn't the answer. He's been credited, discredited?, with giving up seven touchdowns in 2010, the tops among safeties. That's not going to get it done. Reports are already out there that he might be returning to the cornerback position this year. But in order for Dallas to do that, they'll need to target some free agents unless they're comfortable turning the job over to the likes of Danny McCray or Akwasi Owusu-Ansah. Both players were helpful on special teams, but I doubt anyone trusts them to be a starter.
Then there's the strong safety position. Starter Gerald Sensabugh has been a steady contributor. The problem is he's a free agent. So question number one becomes - do they re-sign Sensabaugh. In my estimation they should make every effort to do so. Sensabaugh put up some pretty decent numbers in 2010 even thoguh he missed a couple of games with injury. He had five interceptions, which is actually a pretty remarkable number from the safety spot. He also chipped in with a couple of sacks and had 57 solo tackles. He's a guy that might greatly benefit from having decent help at free safety, allowing coordinator Rob Ryan to move him around more and get him in "attack mode". To read a little about Sensabaugh and his college days, go here.
More...
If the reports are true, the Cowboys might already have someone in mind to pair with Sensabaugh, assuming they re-sign him. Whenever you get a new coach or coordinator, you always need to look at their past history to find guys they've worked with before, and who might fit with their new team. That's already happened as Pro Football Weekly reported a few weeks ago.
We have heard for months that defensive coordinator Rob Ryan has targeted some veterans to go after, players who will fit his scheme, and it only makes sense to think that former Raiders S Michael Huff could be one of them. Ryan coached Huff when the two were in Oakland together a few years back. Sources say Ryan has Jerry Jones' ear and that the owner will target a veteran of his choosing at the position.
Huff had a very good 2010, putting together three interceptions along with four sacks, also contributing 67 tackles and 17 assists. A defensive secondary duo of Huff and Sensabaugh could be just what Dallas needs.
If not Huff, then who?
The mothership recently brought up the name Quintin Mikell from the hated Eagles. The Eagles recently drafted a safety in the second round, so there's speculation they might not want Mikell back. Mikell plays strong safety, but the article suggests that Sensabaugh could be moved to free safety with Mikell manning the strong safety spot.
Where Would He Fit: The good thing about the Cowboys trying to re-sign Gerald Sensabaugh, is that it doesn't prevent them from signing any other free-agent safety, such as another strong safety like Mikell. Sensabaugh's versatility is rather valuable because he could play free safety if the Cowboys needed that. So once free agency starts, the Cowboys could reasonably go after any available safety, regardless of his position. If the Cowboys signed Mikell, he could be plugged in at strong safety and the Cowboys would then either look to re-sign Sensabaugh or another natural free safety to play alongside him.
They could also go after an ex-Cowboy who played under Rob Ryan in Cleveland, Abram Elam. Elam is also scheduled to be a free agent, whenever the NFL gets a labor agreement done. Other prominent safeties, both free and strong, are Eric Weddle, Bernard Pollard, Roman Harper, Dawan Landry and Atari Bigby, among others.
So, should the cowboys go all out to re-sign Gerald Sensabaugh? Who among the free agent pool of safeties makes the most sense for the Cowboys?

Mikell is also a guy that can play both safety spots, so Ryan could get creative with how he used a Mikell-Sensabaugh combo.

ooh I like that better
I wouldn’t be opposed to dynamics at the safety spot, as long as we are talking 2 veterans who are just gonna blow it both ways.
Mikell had a good number of PDs, so I wouldn’t feel too bad about having him move around and be the more dynamic guy coming in.
I would be TOTALLY OPPOSED
I don’t want two do-it-all, ‘versatile’ safeties!!! One would be ok, but the time has come for us to get a true, ballhawking, centerfielder, who can COVER. If the SS is good enough to do some covering AND in-the-box work, great! But our FS needs to be a true cover guy, period. We’ve done it wrong for far too long, and it REALLY showed last year. What more proof does everyone need?!
yeah i cover safety is what we need
or at least someone who doesn’t suck to cover, no more roy williamses lol
I think we’ll see that anyway under Ryan, regardless of who the players are. They will be free and string safeties in name only, and will be moving all over the field an awful lot, and will also contribute significantly as pass rushers.

Especially with so many different blitz packages, schemes, and even DB blitzes, I would assume Ryan needs two versatile safeties. Sensa is actually athletic enough to be cover guy and in the box. My issue with him is leadership, so if we have someone else back there to lead the secondary, I can live with Sensa. But that means none of our young guys will play this year.
I may be in the minority, but I would like to see what AOA can do on the field this year. Yes, small school, redshirt rookie season, etc. but by all reports he is smart and he certainly seems athletic enough to cover and had some big hits in college that could be a sign he can handle the in-the-box SS role as well. While the Ball experiment left a bitterness with most fans, I hope the backlash dowsn’t fall on AOA. I have seen a lot of young and rookie safeties having success starting early in their careers recently. I would rather have Huff/Weddle and AOA back there (with a longer term solution being tested) and deal with some growing pains than Sensa and Mikell as short term patches. Sensa and AOA wouldn’t work, in my opinion, since we will have the same finger pointing blown assignments who is leading this ship kind of moments that drove me crazy last season.
Sendejo and McCray (possibly Church) make the team, but I don’t know if any are ready to start. Sendejo and AOA would seem like the only ones with even a shot at a real competition for a starting job.

You’ve got Chia and I with you on the AOA train. Do feel like it would behoove us to bring in a solid FA, though. Not doing so would be ignorant and I’m sure RR will.

Yeah, kinda, and that’s partly why he won’t be an Eagle next year. You can be an Eagle and be over 30. You just can’t be an overpaid Eagle and be over 30, and I think the Eagles suspected someone out there will overpay him, so they drafted Jaiquawn Jarrett. However, Mikell has low mileage (starter for just the last 4 years) and has stayed healthy his entire career.
http://www.bleedinggreennation.com/ - Eagles
http://bloggingthebeast.com/ - NFC East
Just curious, how come Mikell has only started for 4 years?
Didn’t develop until late? Had someone better ahead (Dawkins?), or what? If he had Dawkins ahead, why didn’t they start him at the other safety spot?
Just want to get some background on him.
Like the idea of Sensy and Huff
As long as RR wants them. No question we need both FS and SS. Even if AOA or McCray pan out, we need depth. RR seems to have a good grasp on what he needs to run his defense successfully. I trust his judgment.
Issues at safety?
As far as I know there was really only 1 issue. Unless we are talking depth, but theoretically we have people who can play backup for now.
I am down with resigning Sensi as SS.
I would much rather see them sign someone who can handle the FS spot who knows what they are doing, rather than sign another SS and move Sensi. Not that Sensabaugh is bad, but I think he is better suited as a SS and better in the run game than pass.
We need someone back there who can help in pass coverage and would much rather see a veteran with clear cover skills. Mostly because if our CBs don’t bounce back and stay healthy, we need someone in that secondary to pick up the slack.
yeah idk how Sens could play FS, that would scare me to death

Huff for me...
I like Quintin Mikell but I don’t like the idea of moving Sensy and getting too cute out there.
Or let Sensy go and get Huff and Mikell works for me too.
And then add Elam since hopefull he wants to come back and also wants to follow Rob.
Oh the piece of mind any 2 of Mikell, Huff or Elam would give me…..
Go Cowboys.....Go Bulls.....

him at FS scares me

Sensi's shortcomings at SS
are a tendency to get lost when the ball is in the air and a seeming aversion to contact. He also looks a little stiff. None of that is good for FS, so if we’re going to keep him he should stay where he is. Do agree a lot of his poor play, along with the rest of the secondary was a directr result of the failed Ball experiment. Since WP signed off on this(and keeping only 3 CB), how does the perception persist he’s even a good DC?
I’m not convinced Huff is the answer, with a couple of down years preceding his breakout-ish season last year. I’d be a much bigger supporter of E Weddle. What happened to B Poole in the list of possibles?
We live life forwards and understand it backwards

great analysis of Sensabaugh
I see the same thing, he is way too stiff to play FS, he gets lost with the ball in the air, and avoids contact, he is shaky when he has to make a play on the ball sometimes he goes for this big hit when all he has to do is put his hands up and pick the ball off

You guys are forgetting...
That Dallas is seriously rubbing at the salary cap, no matter which CBA we end up with.
I believe this is an area that Dallas thinks they will have to solve on the cheap. They might be able to get one FA, but no way they can get two. AoA will man the SS position most likely with a veteran FA manning the other slot. Just don’t be surprised if it’s a non-elite FA, not a Weedle or Huff.

Dallas has thrown a lot of spaghetti against the wall
trying to find a safety. RW, Pat Watkins, Sensi, AOA, Pete Hunter & Alan Ball. Thusfar none have proved to be the successor to D Woodson. Need to find the QB of the secondary who can also play ball, ala Woody.
"There are no traffic jams along the extra mile." ~ Roger Staubach
I could see..
An Abram Elam and AoA safety combo. Elam would know the defense already and AoA is incredibly intelligent and very athletic. He just needs to get on the field.
He was the guy that got toasted by 7-9 Seattle
he lost the game for them. The TD to Carlson was unforgivable.
Pass

He's also the guy that ran out of bounds because QB Bradford was about to catch him from behind.
Then he had to take oxygen on the bench.
"I’ve never been caught before by a QB in my whole life," said Harper, who lobbied that he still hasn’t because Bradford never touched him. "I think my biggest was after 35 or 40 yards, my legs were gone. I looked back and I was like, ‘Oh no, he’s still running at me.’ So, I was like, ‘I need to get the hell out of bounds.’ "

I really like Elam
I was watching some Browns tape last night and he flies around the field, and he is a leader
Id rather have Huff and Elam, than Huff and Sensabaugh
sorry I dont owe any loyalty to Sensaballs, he has only been here 2 seasons and wasnt drafted by us
I have a article coming out later today on why we should go after someone else
I will give Sensabaugh credit though, he played through alot of BS last year and did his best
but there were times where it looked like he quit, especially the 2nd half of the Giants game at home last year
but Ball was so bad it effected Sensabaugh, he did have some great picks
I mean I wouldnt be mad if he was retained, he is a solid guy, but he doesnt want to lead, that bother me deeply
remember when him and TNew got into at the Giants game last year in New York/? its because Sensabaugh doesnt call anything out, he doesnt lead and TNew was like WTF? dude you need to step up

I like Elam too
Cant believe we had him and Cupcake let him go. He was showing some progress too. He turned out to be a pretty good player under Ryan and think he would be a great addition along with Huff or a solid S beside him. Its crazy how things come full circle because we cut Elam and Ball the same day four years ago. But Dumb Phillips brought Ball back.

Ugh, I threw up in my mouth a little.
We claimed Justin Rogers and Evan Oglesby off waivers and cut Elam and Ball to make roster room.
Great moves!
The kicker was reading the practice squad list. They are: quarterback Richard Bartel, cornerback Quincy Butler, running back Alonzo Coleman, tight end Rodney Hannah, wide receiver Mike Jefferson, linebacker Khari Long and defensive end Marcus Smith.
Outstanding!

Very good sign
It will become a great sign if they were also right about their eventual performance on the field – though aiming for players with good intangibles usually helps those chances.

Sensa was a definite upgrade over Roy no doubt
We need a playmaking general at FS and a hard hitting SS. Something we havent had since my main man Woodson left. Sensa has been OK. Im all for upgrading our safeties as long as we dont get Bernard Pollard who is Roy W 2.0. He can hit, has a mean streak, but he cant cover his face if he sneezed..

i hate to say it
but cutting hamlin, for all of his faults, really threw our guys into disarray. I foresee the same kind of confusion and collapse on the Oline if we don’t resign kosier, since he makes the line calls. If hamlin hadn’t of had that huge contract I think he’d still be a cowboy and giving us average production. Maybe sensi will nut up this season and mature into the signal caller in the backfield, but i do not see that as likely. I do say we should definitely sign him, Do you trust a rookie to give you the same production or better this year? Since there is no way we could sign two vet safeties, and even if we did, at least one of them would have to learn the defense.

do we have something in Sendejo
or is he a camp body? Does anyone know if this guy can play?
Ich bin ein Berliner--JFK
UFL highlights
Suggest he can, here is a youtube video. He was player of the week a couple of times and has been titled “one of the best safeties in the UFL” but some reporters (though I didn’t see enough – or any – UFL games to confirm) and he was apparently one of the nominees in the MVP voting.
But who knows against NFL competition. Some say if he was so good in the UFL that he probably stacks up with good college players. Others think UFL success means nothing int he NFL – though I and Kurt Warner probably don’t agree. I did find this interesting link - here are 2010 UFL players that ended up on an NFL roster before the season was over. Some are actually started in the NFL then went to the UFL and now back to NFL again, but others are first timers. Personally, I think the level of success Sendejo had in the UFL should translate to at least a competitive player int he NFL.

Elam is versatile as well
He can play SS or FS. A great tandem would be:
FS Huff, SS Elam or
FS/ SS Elam, SS/ FS Weddle, they can play either or
FS Elam, SS Mikell or
FS Elam, SS Landry or even
FS Elam, SS Sensabaugh might even work
Dont know which one is best, but we couldn’t go wrong with either one of them. Also Manning and Pool might be in the mix too

If you come right out of the shoot and write something original that’s stupid (especially on such a high-profile media outlet as ESPN), people are going to kill you for it.

Huff 1 Elam 1a
The Pokes would be well served to get a Safety familiar with Ryan’s schemes. I think Huff is the better player but Elam the cheaper one. If the coaching staff think AOA or another young Safety prospect is close to earning a starting job then Elam should be the FA target, if not then Huff.

Some options at safety are out there
I feel IMO that AOA is at least 1 more year away from being a starter and replacing Sensi in the lineup but will see action in RR’s defense this season. Of the FA safeties out there that we have a realistic shot at getting, Weddle is by far the best of the group but will cost money and a longh term contract to get. He will only be 26 when the season starts so if JJ wants to bite the bullet he is the best option. Landry is still struggling at times in coverage and no way does Chicago let Manning get away. Huff is the guy I would like to see in Dallas. I still think he has more upside to his game, he will be 28 and knows the RR defense. Keeping Sensi on the roster and picking up Huff may the best course to take for the Cowboys unless JJ really figures out how to make a splash and get both Huff and Weddle. This is a pass happy league so we not onl;y need very good starters at DB but good backups also. RR is known to put 6 or 7 DB’s on the field at once and use them for both coverage and blitz.
I'm really hoping AOA makes a difference this year
His measureless were fantastic, and his instincts are said to be excellent. Then only thing he needs is to stay healthy and adjust to the speed of the game. Unless they make him a corner, which is unlikely, IMO.
Greetings from the Humungus, the Ruler of the Wasteland, the Ayatollah of Rock and Roll-A. I laugh at your puny plans.
AOA and sendejo......
i belive that all these 2 needs is more playin time and coachin to get up to nfl speed . both i belive have an opportunity to be good starters for us. everything ive sen of sendejo tells me the play stops at him.. great tackler good hands.. tough guy . i say snag huff and elam both have more insight to rr game and both would make better leaders in play calls. sense just doesnt impress me all that much . but if sense comes back at a price that will allow dallas to also address a de too then do it. id love to see cullen j > here. grabs the baseball bat.. opens the door to a room with no other exits.. ok players owners file in. tells the lawyers wait outside ill brbk to tend to you. slams the door behind me.. taps the bat on the wall… get it done or else !!!!!
woman !, dont try to understand em, dont try to make them understand you, for they are a breed apart ! lol
This would work better if there were no lockout and RR were not new to the team.
without RR getting to see these guys, they may have to take the plunge for a Safety.
Don't believe everything you think.
