If Porter is done...
 
What do you think we should do. Who is out there? Can Gay step up ad get it done? Looking for some good insight if you guys have any

As someone else mentioned, Mike McKenzie anyone? A healthy Mike McKenzie is perfect for a GW system IMO. The healthy part is the key though.

I hope they are speaking to each other. Check it out Mickey.

Yes your are absolutely right McKenzie would be the cure if Porter is done for the year. I completely forgot about McKenzie please get it done Lomis.

couldnt agree more with the above comments. even if porter isnt out, we should give mike a call.

I thought the same thing during the game. Anyone got his number I'll call.

The thing is, with a healthy Porter/Greer, McKenzie isn't a good fit.

You want your 3/4/5 CB's to excell at nickel, dime and special teams. None of that was McKenzie's forte.

But now that we need a solid #2 CB (assuming Jenkins still needs to develop), McKenzie becomes a good fit.

Can McKenzie come in and start? If not, there's really no point in signing him. He's not a nickel/dime type guy. If they don't sign McKenzie to start, it's time to see what Jenkins has. Gay is best suited to play the nickel/dime CB role. That leaves only Torrence and maybe Young behind those guys. Throw in the possibility of the injuries to Greer and Sharper may linger and a strength just turned back into a weakness real quick. Here's to hoping McKenzie still has a half season left in him. As a complete wildcard to the mix, I actually like the way the practice squad CB Parson plays. He reminds me of Greer and Porter.

anyone know what actually happened to porter?

We gotta hope Porter's injury is a short heal. Randall Gay and Malcolm Jenkins will not cut it versus top WR competition.

Secondary was picked apart pretty bad by a not so good Rams passing game. This doesn't look good at all for Porter, lets just hope it's not an ACL or something. I can almost guarantee McKenzie has been contacted already.

Mike McKenzie's agent is wanted in the gold briefing room...

As well as LeRoi Glover (ten years younger) for some veteran defensive tackle prescence...

When Porter went down I thought it looked bad and he may be out indefinitely. I think Mike McKenzie would be excellent at being our shut down corner if he's healthy and in shape. He would probably fit in very well in Gregg Williams system. I would like to see Porter back later this season if at all possible. What did ya'll think of the way Torrence played?

Jeff Duncan TP says, on Twitter, it looks like a season ender for Tracy Porter (Merde!)...

Florio is just saying the same on the PFT blog...

Man, this is a real downer, and that's three starters from Week 1 out right now...

Merde!

Merde! Merde! Merde!

Seriously, hope Mike Mac can play still...

We've got depth to take on the Bucs next week (who are suddenly finding themselves)...

But I'd like to see the F/O make a move now so we can get someone acclimated for the remainder of the season (next Bucs, Pats, Skins, Birds, Boys, Bucs, then Cats)...

Yep. Get someone in so he'll be primed by playoff time!

ya'll put down the pipe. there is zero chance of them bringing in mckenzie. zero.

Re: If Porter is done...
 
Great promotional video on Parson...hope he can step up...

Saints have a better track record with rookie free agent and practice squad pickups than their draft picks...

Mike should have about five or six games left in him. Plus a couple of Playoff games.
