Re: CB - Chris Houston

Why are we looking at outside CBs. What about the CB we just cut, Rod Sweeting? Payton said he didn't get enough snaps to evaluate him.

I'd prefer a proven commodity.

Re: CB - Chris Houston

I firmly believe that if a CB is on the street, its probably because he's just not that good.

Its the most coveted position on defense and every team is in desperate need of them. For 32 teams to pass on him says a ton.

I'm guessing Loomis and company have a list of CB's they like if we need one, and they've shown time and time again they aren't afraid to sign on or claim one off of someone's practice squad.

I think what we have is as good as it gets for 2014. No one sitting on their couch today is as good as Lewis, Robinson, White, or Dixon.

If we needed more depth we'd just bring Sweeting back.

I thought Houston did okay last year against most of the receivers outside the five of the big six (Marshall was shut down in Ford or kept out of the ez, Thomas also probably wouldn't burn him as his stats are inflated by Manning), especially at home.

Re: CB - Chris Houston

We could have Aeneas Williams, Mike Haynes and Rod Woodson in their primes, rotating, and it wouldn't matter with the pass rush we got from Galette and Jordan...

Yeah, White has ball location issues, but he made some pretty da*n good plays, especially breaking up a two-man bubble screen by himself - I don't get all the venom toward the small-school 5th round pick...

We've got good corners, what we need and aren't likely to find walking the street are pass rushers; and we surely shouldn't be giving contract extensions for the pass rush we saw in Atlanta...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Re: CB - Chris Houston

We rarely ever bring in anyone worth a damn after we create our final roster. Usually sign a scrub or two back and forth from the practice squad but I can't remember the last time we got anyone worth a damn in a trade or in free agency after the season started.

Well, how could we?
Pretty slim chance of a cut player from another team making an impact, and no one makes trades. Leaves a PS player maybe getting a chance (Armstead)

Rafael Bush was signed after teams announced the final rosters.

Armstead was never on the practice squad.
