Re: Skins sign Buchanon 1yr deal
 

My guess is that he will be starting by week 3 if not sooner. Nice pick-up. It's nice to see a front office that makes some sensible moves and sign them for cheap!

[quote=Paintrain;679536]A beast who was benched twice in the past 2 seasons. Yeah, he's a beast.

On PB, I like the pickup.. At worst, he's a depth guy who can make some plays when given the opportunity. Also, he'll be in the mix at PR and represents an upgrade from ARE and anyone else we have on the roster.[/quote]

Smoot couldn't be benched because he was already on the bench. Smoot was the 4th corner last year.

And I'll be the first to second this notion. This is a very ho-hum signing IMO.

5 teams in 7 years. Reminiscent of the Mike Rumph signing...

Just looking at his deal I'd say he's more than camp fodder. 1 year $1.5M with incentives of $750k. He's no superstar but he's not just a camp body either.

[quote=Ruhskins;679517]He had 11 INTs and 4 TDs in the 3 years he was in Oakland.[/quote]

Nice numbers but he also got cut by Detroit. I really don't think PB will be doing anything except competing with the younger guys as a 3rd or 4th corner.

[quote=GTripp0012;679660]Ridiculously accurate. To say it was all Blache, that is.[/quote]

Blache is gone now so you'll need to find a new excuse for defending Rogers. :-)

Re: Skins sign Buchanon 1yr deal
 

Great move...we needed another quality CB. Hopefully he can catch.

Re: Skins sign Buchanon 1yr deal
 

does signing PB mean that Carlos is now more likely to be gone; trade bait to be exact.

Re: Skins sign Buchanon 1yr deal
 

I don't think this means anything in regard to Rogers.

Re: Skins sign Buchanon 1yr deal
 

Buchanon is basically a younger version of Smoot. An undersized corner whom has a tendency to get hurt.........

I agree with this. If they shipped off Rogers, they are taking a step back.

PB is a replacement for Smoot who could also be a solution in the return game.

I really don't understand how anyone could see anything negative in this signing.
