I'd have a short-list of capable replacements, including college ranks (i.e. Ryan Nielsen ), so we don't regress in this area by hiring some I'm-just-happy-to-be-here-yes-man...

He got caught with his fly open a couple of times against Dallas!

I had hopes for Crawley not sure what happened to him

I think he took up wrestling... Only way to explain his coverage style

Apple has had good and bad games since his arrival. I am a fan of his size and think he did a damn fine job vs. Julio in the Atlanta game. I think he's a building block who will get better as he regains confidence.

Eli Apple had a really good day today - he's getting comfortable and developing chemistry with Mr. Marcus and his Buckeye teammates...

While I don't consider PFF an absolute, as a base line or as a relative gauge, this news is encouraging...

Wish Patrick Robinson could've been rehabbed in time for the end of the regular season and for our Superbowl Championship run...

Could you imagine how good the secondary would be then?!?
