Cornerback
 

We still need a cornerback to play with MM. Who is out there that we could bring in to fill that spot. I like Fred Thomas but lets face it he does not have much left

RE: Cornerback
 

We can't afford to have Fred playing with us this coming season, I'm happy with MM though, at least for another season.

RE: Cornerback
 

Don't forget when we had the best linebackers in the league (Jackson, Mills, Vaughn) we had nobodies at the cornerback position. If teams get shut down on the run and can get outside then you can have the slowest guys in the world as long as they know how to cover.

RE: Cornerback
 

Well then get us a Jackson, a Mills and a Vaughn Johnson and I'll be one happy camper. (smile)
Whatever happen to Dale Carter, who did he play for last?

RE: Cornerback
 

Not us and I remember him being hurt all the time when he did.

RE: Cornerback
 

He did well though when he was with the Vikings, I was excited when we signed him, as you know it was short lived.

RE: Cornerback
 

Dale Carter isn't the answer, LongTimeFanForeverAFanLongerThanForeverfanForEternityFan... couldn't resist. :patos:

RE: Cornerback
 

how about Ike Taylor from the steelers? he's a solid #2 Cb

Dale Carter---- :dead:

a hall of shame signing. i had to suffer derision and being laughed at by co workers (in another part of the country) when that washed up cokehead was signed. he did nothing to change anyone's opinion either.

current FA CB's worth a looksee without a woodson like price tag-

plummer sf
azumah chi
fletcher sd
taylor pitt mentioned already (RFA btw)
dyson sea
mccleon and warfield kc

Carter went to the Ravens after we let him go because the substance abuse policy thingy. May still be there as 5th CB?I like Azumah, who can also return if we dont get the beerman. Dyson or any of them would be solid pickup.

Re: RE: Cornerback
 

Last I heard, Dale Carter was still sucking that glass d***. :x

RE: Re: RE: Cornerback
 

If they think they need another CB, then they could get one in the draft, and play Fred until the rookie is ready to start.

RE: Re: RE: Cornerback
 

I think Fred is a solid Nickel guy.... I like him he is alot better than Craft.... But we do need a #2 ......

Re: RE: Cornerback
 

hahahahaha...playin the flute still? And He had some kind of blood clot in his chest........We let him go just in time..

RE: Re: RE: Cornerback
 

I mentioned this elsewhere, but Smith came up as a corner can and wants to play corner.

RE: Re: RE: Cornerback
 

I think we need to make Dyson and Plummer two priorities.

And I agree with AllSaints, Fred Thomas could be a good nickelback, probably better than Craft.

Here is an idea thats not that far-fetched. Draft Bullocks at S, have both Bullocks bro's starting and move smith to cb.

Not a bad idea wiley, but Bullocks is most likely going to go in the 3rd, a round in which we don't have a draft pick...

That's what I'm getting at however we do have Mitchel on the roster and Stoutmire was just aquired.

The Bullocks/Smith idea was great. I could see that working well. But if we did want to look at one of the available FA's I would like to have Plummer from SF

Plummers pretty Good, and by all means an upgrade, I just wanted to point out that that may be our least pressing need on D.

We also Have Bellamy who I am partial to being a grad of Rutgers. We have so few NFL caliber players, however you will see a few in next years draft class.

But Bellamy isn't a safety.....

He is my friend. Actually took over for Sammy Knight

RE: Re: RE: Cornerback
 

Aren't there at least a couple of draft prospects we can pull in the 3rd or 4th?

BTW, I'm glad someone brought this up on the boards because it was LOOOOONG overdue for discussion! Our boys have been getting singed on the corners for a long time now and we truly need a shut-down CB to take on the bigger WR's in the league.
