Now he is not the CB you want out on an island all by himself. Granted he would be an upgrade at that position. But then again my three legged, blind dog could sniff out more INT than most of them. He is a good replacement for M&M. He is one of the best #2's in the game. As for the loner at #1 look for Young to get his shoot next year.

Samual skip please. I am sold on this: he is a system guy. He makes breaks for the turn over because he has harrison behind him. Harrison has saved him way to many times.

David should be the slot guy with LB and S help. but I would still draft a CB/FS type in the first day, even if we sign Truffant and Young works out.

I like both of the FA CBs but think that Samuel is just going to be too much money that I would rather not spend. Trufant would be a terrific addition, but I agree that he is not the lockdown type guy you want shadowing the other teams best receiver all game long. I agree that Young will get his shot as his skill set is conducive to being that lock down, "Ill take care of this side of the field" corner, but how fast can he step up to that responsibility?

Asante Samuel gets toasted all the time. The only reason we're even discussing him is because he gambles so much that he's bound to get picks sooner or later. He's Jason David with hands.

Just think we coulda drafted him instead of Sullivan,,,,,,,,,,so if we can get Trufant now that in some way might make up for the draft blunder.

I will say he should have made the game ending INT, but to say he got schooled is just wrong. Go look at the game tape again. Samuel makes our CB's short of McKenzie look like high schoolers. Harrrison's saved him multiple times? That's amazing considering that Samuel always have the duty of lining up against the opposing teams best wr. I also find if funny that apparently Harrison has suddenly reverted back to 7 years ago and is now again, a ball hawking S. Harrison was let go from SD because lack of speed and all the hype that he lost a step in the passing game YET now he's Samuel's safety net? Funny, just funny. Harrison is a stop the run first S over a ball hawking S. That is for sure. By the way, isn't Harrison a SS NOT a FS? Just asking.

You are right on the deep passes. But not on the short and mid range passes. Knowing Harrison is there for the tackle allows him to go for the interception. He gambles all the time knowing he is there. He gambled on the first NYG TD and went for the INT instead of the breakup. I do not blame him but that is his style. Harrison is his sure tackling safety net on the mid range passes. sammuel has said it more than once himself.

That the Seahawks might not tag Trufaunt and prefer to use is on Josh Brown their kicker. And that he will most likely hit the market with Samuels.

I've always liked Trufant- we should have taken him in 2003 instead of that worthless tub of ------ Sullivan

I would take either corner IF we can get them. But I would like to see multiple improvements on the defence especially in the secondary.
