2016 Verbal: Jabril Cox

[AKBison]

Dislike. Don't like seeing players moved from their positions. Typically not a good sign, but we'll see I guess.

Agreed, turned out terrible for KE and BT. /Purple

KE was drafted into that position in the NFL. I don't like seeing players moved around after they are drafted in camp. Maybe it's nothing, but I'd rather see them impress at their position enough so the coaches wouldn't even think of moving them.

O line players move around quite often, especially tackle to guard. Not really the same as moving a LB to safety at all.

Caught a comment on a Cowboys blog....J.Cox getting some reps at Safety also

Hmmm. Probably not a good sign.

Unless it's just a practice squad thing and they needed bodies to fill it out, low man rookie gets to put in some extra minutes.

[23Bison]

Or he’s playing safety on certain downs and situations.

Agreed, turned out terrible for KE and BT. /Purple

Also Nick DeLuca.

But linebacker to strong safety is probably his best position. He can tackle, run and cover

[23Bison]

It is a position for his strengths. Size speed and ability to cover.

[CalBison97]

Perhaps the next Steve Atwater…

Cox wasn't a huge run stopping thumper even in college at LB (think Joe Mays). Don't see him being known as a big hitter at safety in the NFL.

I’m convinced there’s not a position group in football more prone to injuries than Cowboys linebackers. Sean Lee is/was made of glass.

Cowboys seem to be moving LBs to S (Cox) and Safeties to LB (Keanu Neal). Unless they are playing 5 LBs at a time I'm curious how Cox will see the field consistently this year.

Jerry Jones also recently paid a (Malik) Hooker to perform services for him (as a Safety).
