49ers Sign SS M.Lewis

[sportscurmudgeon]

Michael Lewis is very similar to Adam Archuletta. Both can play the run really well and deliver "highlight reel hits". Both can cover 270 lb tight ends because those guys can't run. Neither one can cover a slot receiver or a WR on a bet.

Archuletta was way overpaid with his signing bonus and the rest of his deal. Part of his downfall was that his partner in the secondary is just like him; neither one can cover well.

If Lewis gets paired with a safety who has coverage skills, Lewis can be a good player. If he gets paired with another "big hitter" with marginal coverage skills, Lewis will stink like a 10 day old bloated hippo carcass out in the sun on the African veldt.
