As a Cowboys fan who is keeping his expectations low until Jerry Jones is 6-feet-under, I can tell you the Cowboys' collection of safeties is pedestrian at best -- they haven't had any quality at the position since Darren Woodson hung up his cleats. Barry Church is serviceable but not spectacular; J.J. Wilcox showed some promise as a rookie last year but we'll see if he can put it all together consistently. Beyond that, there's Jeff Heath, a heady guy who's usually in the right place but doesn't have the athletic ability to make plays on the ball, and Matt Johnson, a 2012 fourth rounder who is made of glass - he's played in 2 preseason games in two years. I can easily see Robinson bumping Johnson or Heath off the roster and becoming a key special teams piece, and who knows, he might even be able to challenge Church or Wilcox for some playing time.
