I really liked PRob on special teams...with his physical gifts, he could be a beast of punt coverage gunner and kickoff coverage. We saw a glimpse of that vs MIN.

We need depth on the o line. High ankle sprains seem to linger for the season.

One more injury to an O line starter and where are we?

On the CB - I think Sean is attempting to motive Prob in another, more immediate way.

Cox looked pretty good in the preseason and I was surprised that he was cut by the Vikes. I think it had more to do with the roster make-up than him performing badly. I definitely don't see it as a bad thing if he's been given a look by the Saints.

Good breakdown of Derek Cox by the Chargers last year:

We have done really well picking up chargers discards. Brees, Sproles, Mech. Why not take a shot on Cox he cant be worse than Prob-lem

Yeah, but they actually thought he was going to be their #1 receiver. The Chargers are dumb.

How come we don't trade for a corner that fits our system? Or better yet an inside linebacker. I'm all about giving up picks for proven commodities.

Cornerbacks are a premium that no team wants to part and we've certainly never been able to draft a shut-down cornerback...

Too much dead money at inside linebacker which is on Loomis and begs the question, why would they be motivated (Lofton, Hawthorne) to play, practice hard if they no their position is salary cap guaranteed...

That's why I don't drink the coolaid and pat Loomis on the back for putting on a quick fix for bad signings, moves (i.e. Lofton, Hawthorne, Grubbs et al)...
