Wow ... guess we'll find out come Sunday. They aren't all that pleased with Brandon Carr at the #1 CB spot either. After JJones unloaded the Well$ Fargo truck to him, he has been nothing more than adequate.

Deathstar nation has serious problems on D as well.

How about Moe Claiborne, straight up trade for Patrick Robinson, player for player trade. Just have them switch jerseys and pants right before the game. Both guys can shake hands and meet their new teams, and be equally totally unprepared for whatever happens in the game.

What the heck, why not, I say let's do it! Make it happen, Loomis!

Niners and Chiefs did that last season with WRs. A.J. Jenkins for Baldwin. Change of scenery didn't help though...

Only if Robinson is literally afraid to tackle like Mo is.

Somebody on PFT suggested that. Why would we trade a bust making $2 million in the last year of his contract, for another bust making $4 million in the 3rd year of his contract? That would be pretty stupid.

I know last year the reason given for his struggles was that Claiborne was a much better press corner, and Dallas was playing cover-2. He was a terrible fit for that scheme.

I don't know what cover schemes Dallas runs this year though.

If its true that he's a pure press-man to man CB, then it may be worth a look.

But for $4 million-plus? I'd rather just go with Corey White, who we know doesn't suck, than to take a chance on a guy who may not suck, but probably does.

If we traded for him we'd only be responsible for his base salary for 13 more games, which is 1.5 million, and we could cut him if he sucks with zero cap hit in 2015.

I think they're taking a second look at Derek Cox, someone we tried out when we picked up Keenan Lewis. He's getting guaranteed money from the Chargers already....
