Re: Has disappointment set in?
Oh by no means was I knocking Glenn. I just wanted to know why we signed him. I understand. I agree I hope we can package the rest and somehow get a late 3rd rounder maybe.. We don't really need a lot of quantity.. just quality altho I wonder how far Highsmith will drop.. any chance to 5th round? Ha..

It will be a sight to behold. If you want to see what I'm talking about go and take a peek at the pass defense for Denver and San Francisco last year. Each spent a ton of money on top flight secondaries. Today's draft was wonderful. SFIAH |

mendenhall is such a bruiser, it just seems like tackling him 30 times would definitely make Dan Morgan's head explode.

Re: Has disappointment set in?
Porter has what Flowers does not; SIZE and SPEED!
5107, 186, 4.33 Vs. 5096, 189, 4.58 add another 4 inches on the vert. jump 30 Vs. 34 and thats big. porter is stronger 18 reps vs. 14 reps. Production in college was good for both CBs. Flowers lives for the knock out hit. That is going to hurt him in the nfl. Tackling is all about attitude and can be taught. Both need coaching in this area. |

Re: Has disappointment set in?
Just a quick point. Last year our DB's did not have problem talking and helping on the run. It is Harper, Bullock, and Crafts best trait. MM is a great tackler and even Jason David was really good. The problem was that we couldn't tackle the WRs who were behind us. We got beat on so many big plays not because or DBs couldn't tackle, but because they couldn't cover.
Porter is a great man to man cover guy. Seems to me this was exactly what we needed. On top of that he is a good returner. Very happy with both the picks. Manadrew |

Re: Has disappointment set in?
manadrew-your right our problem is we get burned. we need a blanket man corner. That's exactly what we got. He doubles as a proven Kick Returner.
