Versatility at the strong safety position is something the Cowboys lacked in last year's starters, Roy Williams and Keith Davis . While both of them are considered better players against the run, former Jaguar Gerald Sensabaugh looks to solidify the secondary with his own balance of coverage and run support skills. "I’m not really trying to follow Roy," Sensabaugh said. "It’s...

Play of the day: Jason Hatcher knocks Leonard Davis on his butt. Anthony Henry talks about a potential move to safety on passing situations. Roy Williams also weighs in. "If I start, I start. If I don't, I don't," Williams said. "Whatever helps the team in the best situation, then they'll use me. If not, then somebody is better than me. I'm okay with that. The whole common goal is to...
