Veteran free agent safety Gerald Sensabaugh might be leaving the Dallas Cowboys and rejoining former Valley Ranch boss Wade Phillips with the Houston Texans. Sensabaugh expressed interest in playing for the Texans and Phillips, who's installing his 3-4 defensive alignment in Houston as the new defensive coordinator. "I could definitely see that if Dallas doesn't work out," Sensabaugh told ESPN 103.3 in Dallas. "Wade's a good guy, I already know his system and it would be an easy transition for me. I wouldn't have to learn anything new, and at the same time, I'd be able to help the other guys learn Wade's system. I could see that becoming an option." Sensabaugh intercepted five passes last season. "I'm going to make myself available to all 32 teams, shop myself around and see exactly what happens," he said. "I'm just really excited about my chance to cash in. I would like to stay in Dallas, but at the end of the day, it's a business thing. I've got to choose what's best for myself and what situation fits me the best." Source: National Football Post
I would like to hear some Cowboy fans opinions on this dude, should I be happy about this, does he have any potential to be great? All i've seen from him is that he's a very average player.
He is average to good (if that makes any sense to you), but Phillips scheme NEEDS a man Coverage SS, which Sensibaugh is. In that system he has the potential to put up Pro Bowl numbers. In 2009, he would have had 6 INTs if he didnt drop 4 of them because of a cast. Man coverage SS's dont grow on trees. One of the reason we are so thin at Safety is that we kept trying to convert CB's to SS instead of drafting the position. The 2009 draft which was loaded at Safety litterally had 3 players that could play SS in Phillips scheme. Berry, Thomas and AOA.......thats it. So if you can find a guy that can play that position in that scheme, you get him
