Already? Our d-line is gonna get a shot in the arm with Butler back, we'll be fine.

Butler isn't guaranteed to be activated any this season...

Im hoping were not getting too hyped up for Butler like he's a proven pro-bowler. I was as excited as anybody when we picked him up but we really dont know how he's gonna pan out. I'll be the first to admit,Galette is playing better than I expected(I actually thought Tez was gonna be the beast for us). Point is, I like the fact that he knows Ryans system,but what he did in Dallas doesnt mean he'll do it here.....I wouldn't be suprised if Galette stays the starter. Honestly, I hope he turns out to be the best lb we have....then-and only then-will I proceed to jizz in my pants.

Roto seems to agree on Lewis

Sun, Nov 17

Roddy White caught three balls for 36 yards and a touchdown in Atlanta's Week 11 loss to Tampa Bay.

Advice: Shut down all day by Darrelle Revis, White's fantasy day was saved by a fourth-quarter touchdown from six yards out. White will be a better fantasy bet on Thursday Night Football against the Saints in Week 12, although owners shouldn't underestimate the emerging shutdown coverage of New Orleans CB Keenan Lewis.

And a well positioned safety doesn't hurt either. Dez was bracketed all game long.

I'm thinking the 3 and 4 safety sets we've seen are successful because the safeties are in better position to help both CB's be more aggressive.

I can't help but think McGriff is the main reason why our secondary looks so much better than that confused and bewildered mess we witnessed last year.

Well just look at this past game vs 49ers

(on the corey white pick/fumble) He and greer have been jumping short routes a lot during games, and corey defended this smartly, he had safety help over the top and more than 4 rushers going after the QB

If its a double move the safety is there

Having two relentless guys on either side of the D line doesn't hurt either lol

I'm still a bit disappointed we haven't made a move on Nnamdi. Didn't we make a modest offer to him after he worked with us before the season? If he was good enough then to make an offer to, then he is probably still the same player he was a few months ago, and now we need him even more.

Why not sign a veteran who has proven his abilities rather than an unproven Trevin Wade who won't even see the active 53?

Of course these are the thoughts of a layman from the outside looking in. I will continue to trust in Sean, Rob, and Mick.

He is the same player alright... No one knew what player he was then as it was before the season started.

Big name but would it really be an upgrade over what we have now? i don't think so.
