Interesting moves, nonetheless.... I thought they may have brought in another CB or promoted Fassit from Practice squad...Time will surely tell if they pan out.

I agree I think FB is an absolute for the running game & Ekel must not have gotten it done.

Loomis has an Ok record so lets trust them!!

i like the moves for the most part.

I agree with any move loomis and peyton make. But i'm still wondering why we havent jumped on signing Derrick Brooks or bringing Skylar Green on until Moore gets healthy

I like both moves a lot. Waters is in a position of great need at LB. Fujita's spot is very thin, and the guys playing there are not doing a good job especially at covering crossing patterns and dump off passes. Hope he can help. Also, we need a FB who can block both for the running and the passing game.

Sounds like Malai is a better pass catching FB than Ekel and may be a better replacement for Evans.

Since Gruden and SP are buds you think some info might've been exchanged on Derrick Brooks? It seems like adding him would be a no brainer if we need LBs.

All of these call-ups are a roll of the dice. We all hope these guys work out for us and don't mess up the team chemistry. For every Colston and Moore there are 30 guys we have forgotten, never knew, and will never-ever hear from again. There were/are reasons these guys didn't get a ticket the first time around or have been job hopping the last 12 weeks. I just hope Payton/Williams can get these newbies to fire-off at the moment of truth. They don't really have to be bang-on from start to finish, just make it happen the 3-5 times during a game when their decisions and assignments will make a difference.

Why hasn't anyone said that they think Prince (Kwateng) will make some "big hits" this year! HAAA!!!! If he cracks the lineup, we can call him the "Linebacker Formaly Known As" or just change his name to the Fleur de Lis! HAAAAAAAA!!! C'mon that was good guys.
