I know it’s preseason but my hype for the season died a little

Iloka was cut based on his in-season performance over the last couple of years.  Solid player but not a play maker, never has been.  They needed to get more ball hawking players in the back end, period.

Additionally, I don't think the new helmet rule helped him.  Iloka was always known as a hitter, which is good.  But when you're 6'4" hitting a bunch of people smaller than you you have no choice but to duck your head.  That no longer works in the NFL as it costs your team 15 yards.
